Struggles in spot start
Koloko finished with two points (0-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and two rebounds in 11 minutes during Tuesday's 127-115 win over the Heat.
Analysis
Koloko moved back into the starting lineup, although he continued to play backup-level minutes. With Onyeka Okongwu sidelined due to a recent dental procedure, Atlanta is basically doing anything it can to try to fill the vacant center spot. Despite the opportunity, Koloko is not someone who needs to be rostered in fantasy, even in deeper formats.

Will start Tuesday
Koloko will start against the Heat on Tuesday, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
Analysis
With Onyeka Okongwu (mouth) still out, Koloko will get the starting nod over Mouhamed Gueye on Tuesday. During his lone start with the Hawks in a loss to Houston on Thursday, Koloko posted six points (3-7 FG, 0-2 3Pt), seven rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal across 26 minutes.

Not starting vs. Indiana
Koloko will not start against the Pacers on Saturday, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
Analysis
After starting Thursday's loss to Houston in place of Onyeka Okongwu (mouth), Koloko will slide to the second unit in favor of Mouhamed Gueye on Saturday. Over four appearances off the bench with Atlanta this season, Koloko has averaged 4.8 points, 2.0 rebounds and 1.5 blocks in 13.3 minutes per contest.

Grabs seven boards and two stocks
Koloko accumulated six points (3-7 FG, 0-2 3Pt), seven rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal across 26 minutes during Thursday's 104-86 loss to the Rockets.
Analysis
Koloko did a nice job making things difficult on Alperen Sengun, helping hold him to just nine points on 3-for-14 shooting. Onyeka Okongwu (teeth) has already been ruled out for Saturday's game in Indiana, so Koloko likely has another start coming his way. Give him a look if you need some boards and defensive stats.

Starting Thursday vs. Houtson

Analysis
With Onyeka Okongwu (mouth) sidelined, Thursday will mark Koloko's first start and fifth appearance with the Hawks since signing a two-way deal with the team Jan. 16. Over his four prior outings with Atlanta, Koloko has averaged 4.8 points, 2.0 rebounds and 1.5 blocks over 13.0 minutes per game.
