Big performance off the bench
Risacher had 19 points (6-12 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 4-6 FT), nine rebounds, one assist, two blocks and one steal across 31 minutes during Thursday's 108-97 victory over Brooklyn.
Analysis
Risacher turned in his most productive performance in months, leading the second unit and recording his highest point total since a 25-point outburst against the Pelicans on Jan. 7. The No. 1 overall pick from 2024 dominated the glass with seven offensive rebounds and added a pair of blocks. While he has trended downward recently, averaging just 7.8 points on 38.5 percent shooting over his previous 12 contests, this breakout suggests he is beginning to find his footing in a reserve role. However, he'll likely see fewer minutes when Dyson Daniels (toe) is cleared to suit up.

Another muted performance
Risacher amassed eight points (3-5 FG, 2-4 3Pt), four rebounds, two assists, one block and three steals over 22 minutes during Saturday's 125-116 victory over the 76ers.
Analysis
The 2024 No. 1 overall pick continues to come along very slowly for the Hawks, as he's now scored in single digits in six of his last seven games. CJ McCollum recently replaced Risacher in the starting lineup, and the latter is continuing to trend down from a fantasy perspective. Over his last seven contests, Risacher has averaged 7.6 points, 5.0 rebounds, 1.1 steals and 1.0 assists in 23.1 minutes per game while shooting just 38.5 percent from the field.
