Bazemore scored 12 points (5-8 FG, 2-3 3Pt) and pulled down five rebounds over 20 minutes in Wednesday's win over the Cavaliers.

With Thabo Sefolosha (leg) in New York to testify in defense of the three misdemeanor charges he received last spring, Bazemore entered the starting lineup at shooting guard. Sefolosha's legal situation is expected to be resolved within a few days, but he's still recovering from a broken fibula and other ligament damage, which could sideline him for the beginning of the season. If that's the case, Bazemore could make a push for around 20-to-25 minutes per game in the early going, putting him on the radar in deeper leagues and as a cheap daily option.

Bazemore could play a bigger role for the Hawks next season after DeMarre Carroll left the team in free agency to sign with the Raptors.

Kyle Korver will start at one of the wing positions, and then coach Mike Budenholzer will likely choose between Bazemore and Thabo Sefolosha to start next to Korver. With Sefolosha recovering from surgery to fix his broken right fibula and uncertain for the start of next season, Bazemore appears to have the upper hand on winning a starting job next season. In 10 starts last season, Bazemore averaged 10.2 points, 1.1 three-pointers, 4.8 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 1.4 steals, and 0.8 blocks in 32 minutes per game. No one stat shines from that line, but when you put together Bazemore's ability to contribute positively across the board, it makes him worth rostering in deeper leagues if he gets enough minutes.

Bazemore averaged 5.2 points, 0.6 three-pointers, 3.0 rebounds, 1.0 assists, 0.4 blocks, and 0.7 steals in 18 minutes per game through 75 games in 2014-15.

AT 25 years old, the three-year NBA veteran is under team control through 2015-16. While not the most efficient player on the roster last season, Bazemore (43% FG, 36% 3Pt, 60% FT) provided a spark off the bench, giving 10 spot starts when starter Kyle Korver needed a rest. Bazemore's energy on defense should be a positive sign for his minutes next season, which will most likely come in a bench role behind Korver.

Bazemore started for Kyle Korver (ankle) and provided 14 points (3-9 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 6-8 FT), seven rebounds, three assists, and three steals in 43 minutes in the overtime loss to Cleveland on Sunday.

Bazemore started slowly, but came on in the second half to give bargain-hunting DFS players a nice game. He is an energetic defender and has some bounce on his way to the rim. Since the Hawks do not have a solid backup shooting guard, Bazemore should get plenty of minutes in Game 4 on Tuesday.

Bazemore will start Sunday against the Cavs

With teammate Kyle Korver out for the remainder of the playoffs with an ankle injury, Bazemore figures to start all of Atlanta's future playoffs games this year. He's scored efficiently in limited playing time in the Eastern Conference Finals, but will need to play well in extended court time from here on out to help the Hawks come back in the series.

Bazemore is averaging 16.4 minutes on the court over the first five games of Atlanta's series against Brooklyn.

Bazemore has a steady role off the bench with the absence of Thabo Sefolosha (ankle) but has failed to score more than six points in game this postseason. Consequentially the former standout at Old Dominion has relatively weak value for playoff formats unless he starts seeing more time on the court.

Bazemore will start in Sunday's game against the Wizards, the Atlanta Journal Constitution reports.

The Hawks are resting their normal starting five Sunday so Bazemore is on tap to see extended minutes against the Wizards. There are two more games left on the schedule after Sunday, meaning that Bazemore has an opportunity to finish up the regular season with inflated value.

Bazemore got the start on Saturday and scored 20 points (7-14 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 3-4 FT) with five rebounds, two assists and one steal in loss to Charlotte on Saturday.

Bazemore took advantage of head coach Mike Budenholzer removing the starting five from action today repaid him with an efficient scoring output. Bazemore figures to increase his sixth man role as the Hawks will likely rest their players a few more times in the last two weeks. Bazemore is a solid plug-and-play option in daily games whenever he gets the start.

Bazemore is starting at small forward with DeMarre Carroll getting the night off Saturday against the Hornets.

Bazemore has some deep-league value, and he often gets extended run when the Hawks are resting their primary players. Bazmemore is an interesting play in daily games and could be of use in the deepest of leagues, but he generally has limited value in his bench role.

Bazemore was held scoreless in 17 minutes as he returned to the bench Sunday against the Spurs.

Bazemore got the start in the past three games for the Hawks after Kyle Korver (nose) suffered an injury and had to miss a few games. While Bazemore had some value as a starter, he isn't likely to get an opportunity to be a relevant fantasy player, as he is averaging only 15.2 points and 4.5 points off the bench this season. Bazemore could only be fantasy-relevant if Korver suffers a setback or another injury.

Bazemore is expected to return to the bench for Sunday's game against the Spurs with Kyle Korver (nose) back on the court, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Bazemore enjoyed three-straight starts but his value will almost certainly take a hit with Korver making his return Sunday. Although, Bazemore is averaging 17.3 minutes on the court this season and may still have some relevancy in the deepest of leagues moving forward.

Bazemore posted 10 points, four rebounds, one steal, one bock, and one trey in 28 minutes of action Friday against the Thunder.

Bazemore is averaging 10.0 points, 4.6 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 1.6 steals, and 1.2 three-pointers made over the last five games. He's beginning to creep into 12-man league relevance, and it doesn't seem like his minutes will be decreased anytime soon. Feel free to add him as a cheap source of steals and threes.

Bazemore made his third straight start Wednesday, finishing with five points, five rebounds, two assists, and two steals over 31 minutes.

Bazemore had a poor shooting night, going just 1-for-6 from the field and 0-for-2 from beyond the arc. That said, he was the only Hawk to struggle Wednesday as they shot 35.6% from the field. He should continue to start at shooting guard as long as Kyle Korver is sidelined with a broken nose.

Bazemore will get the start Wednesday in place of Kyle Korver (nose), Chris Vivlamore of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Korver is set to miss the Hawks' next two games after undergoing a procedure on his nose, and Bazemore will make second straight start in his place. In 29 minutes Monday, Bazemore posted 11 points (4-12 FG) and four assists.

Bazemore started Sunday's game in place of DeMarre Carroll (rest) and had 13 points (4-7 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 4-5 FT), nine rebounds, three assists and two blocks in 38 minutes.

With Carroll likely back for the next game, Bazemore's fantasy relevance is short lived. Prior to Friday's game, he had five straight games scoring in the single digits and he's shooting just 40 percent from the floor so far in March.

Bazemore will start Sunday's game against the Lakers in place of DeMarre Carroll (rest), Chris Vivlamore of the Atlanta Journal Constitution reports.

Bazemore may get another start Monday, as Kyle Korver will likely be rested for a game in Sacramento. In four starts this season, Bazemore has averaged just 9.0 points, 4.3 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 1.0 steal and 0.8 blocks over 32 minutes.

Bazemore started in place of DeMarre Carroll and scored nine points (2-8 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 4-6 FT) with nine rebounds, two assists, one steal, and two blocks in a team-high 36 minutes Saturday in the loss to Philadelphia.

With Carroll only missing due to rest, Bazemore's fantasy usefulness is likely done after one game and will go back to his approximately 20 minutes a night in a reserve role. There may be more opportunities for Bazemore to start down the stretch if Mike Budenholzer decides to rest players again, but even with a increased role, Bazemore is someone who can left to deep leagues.

Bazemore will start Saturday's game in Philadelphia, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

With Kyle Korver, DeMarre Carroll, Paul Millsap, and Pero Antic all receiving a day of rest, the Hawks are left with Bazemore and John Jenkins as the sole options on the wing. In three starts this season, Bazemore has averaged nine points (on 44 percent shooting), 2.7 rebounds, one assist, one steal, and 0.7 three-pointers in 31 minutes.

Bazemore moved into the starting lineup Saturday against Miami. In 35 minutes of action, Bazemore put up 15 points (6-10 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds, and three steals as the Hawks defeated the Heat.

Bazemore took DeMarre Carroll's spot in the lineup as Carroll was inactive for the second game of Atlanta's back-to-back set. The Old Dominion product finished February averaging 7.8 points and 4.0 rebounds in 24.4 minutes. Although he sees a good amount of time for a bench player, Bazemore rarely puts up the numbers to be viable in most formats.
