Back to bench
McCollum will come off the bench Monday against the Bucks, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
Analyse
This is an expected move for the Hawks with Dyson Daniels returning from a one-game absence. McCollum is likely to maintain a significant role with the second unit.

Starting Saturday
McCollum is in the starting lineup for Saturday's game versus the Celtics, Sean Grande of NBC Sports Boston reports.
Analyse
McCollum is getting the start with Dyson Daniels (ankle) unavailable Saturday, so he should see some increased playmaking and scoring opportunities. With McCollum running with the starters, Kevin Huerter could spend more time operating as the primary playmaker in the second unit.

Surges with 25 points from bench
McCollum racked up 25 points (11-23 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 1-3 FT), one rebound, three assists and one steal across 27 minutes during Tuesday's 141-116 loss to the Lakers.
Analyse
A move to the first unit seems to be a foregone conclusion for McCollum, who joined the Hawks in the Trae Young trade. The Hawks can't afford to keep the veteran on the bench for long, and either Dyson Daniels or Nickeil Alexander-Walker could be removed to allow for McCollum's insertion into the starting five.
