Niang notched 20 points (8-15 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, four assists and two steals over 26 minutes during Friday's 123-114 overtime Play-In Game loss to the Heat. Niang led the Hawks' reserves in scoring Friday and finished as the team's third-leading scorer behind Trae Young (29) and Onyeka Okongwu (28). Niang was able to establish a bigger role for himself after being traded by the Cavaliers to the Hawks in February.

Georges Niang Latest News
Sparks bench with 20 points
Niang notched 20 points (8-15 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, four assists and two steals over 26 minutes during Friday's 123-114 overtime Play-In Game loss to the Heat. Niang led the Hawks' reserves in scoring Friday and finished as the team's third-leading scorer behind Trae Young (29) and Onyeka Okongwu (28). Niang was able to establish a bigger role for himself after being traded by the Cavaliers to the Hawks in February. Across 28 regular-season games with Atlanta (including two starts), Niang averaged 12.1 points, 3.0 rebounds and 1.6 assists over 23.0 minutes per contest.
Leads bench with 15 points
Niang tallied 15 points (5-11 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT) and three rebounds over 23 minutes in Tuesday's 120-95 Play-In Game loss to Orlando. Niang finished as the Hawks' second-leading scorer behind Trae Young (28), in a game that saw Atlanta shoot just 38.1 percent from the field and 4-for-21 from three. Niang emerged as an integral piece to the Hawks' rotation down the stretch of the regular season, having averaged 11.3 points, 2.3 rebounds and 1.4 assists across 21.1 minutes since the beginning of March. He'll look to help Atlanta make the playoffs as the eighth seed in the East in Friday's Play-In Game against the winner of Wednesday's bout between the Bulls and Heat.
Cleared from injury report
Niang (rest) is not listed on the injury report for Tuesday's Play-In Game against the Magic, Lauren L. Williams of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports. Niang missed Sunday's regular-season finale against Orlando for rest purposes, but he's cleared to play in Tuesday's meeting with the Magic. The veteran sharpshooter should play a significant role as a floor spacer off the bench, having averaged 11.8 points, 1.7 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 2.9 three-pointers in 19.4 minutes across his final 12 games of the regular season. Niang shot 44.9 percent from downtown during this period.
Won't play Sunday
Niang (rest) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Orlando, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports. With the Hawks locked in as the eighth seed in the East and facing the Magic in the Play-In Tournament on Tuesday, Niang will rest for Sunday's regular-season finale. Dominick Barlow and Jacob Toppin should see an uptick in playing time due to Niang's absence.
Iffy for Sunday
Niang is listed as questionable for Sunday's game versus the Magic due to rest purposes. Niang could sit out Sunday's regular-season finale due to the Hawks already being locked into the Play-In. If Niang is ultimately downgraded to out, Mouhamed Gueye and Dominick Barlow could receive increased playing time.
Coming off bench Tuesday
Niang isn't in the starting five for Tuesday's game versus the Magic. Mouhamed Gueye will reclaim his starting spot from Niang on Tuesday. Niang has averaged 11.7 points, 1.9 rebounds and 1.1 assists in 21.0 minutes across his previous 10 appearances coming off the bench.
Will start vs. Utah
Niang will be in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Jazz, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports. Niang will make his third start of the season for the Hawks. In his two previous starts, the veteran forward averaged 15.0 points, 7.0 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 2.0 steals per game, shooting 62.5 percent from the floor and 57.1 percent from deep.
Scores 13 points off bench Saturday
Niang finished Saturday's 121-105 loss to the Knicks with 13 points (5-16 FG, 3-13 3Pt), four rebounds and one assist in 25 minutes. Niang has established himself as a reliable weapon off the bench for the Hawks, and while that role limits his fantasy upside considerably, he's had quite a few serviceable performances over the last few weeks. The veteran has scored in double digits in nine of his 16 appearances off the bench since the beginning of March, averaging 11.6 points, 2.5 rebounds and 1.5 assists per game in that span.
Muted effort in loss
Niang amassed six points (2-6 FG, 2-5 3Pt), two rebounds, one assist and one steal in 20 minutes during Wednesday's 120-118 loss to the Mavericks. Niang was a non-factor in the loss, continuing what has been an up-and-down ride since arriving in Atlanta. It's typically hit or miss when it comes to Niang's production, with his value tied up in points and threes. He has scored fewer than seven points in three of the past four games, averaging 7.8 points and 2.0 three-pointers during that time.
