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
Koloko is in the Hawks' starting lineup against the Rockets on Thursday, Lachard Binkley of SI.com reports.
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.

Strong line off bench
Koloko had 12 points (6-6 FG), four rebounds, one assist and three blocks across 17 minutes during Monday's 132-116 win over the Pacers.
Analysis
Koloko, who recently signed a two-way contract with the Hawks on Jan. 16, made a very strong impression off the bench. He has seemingly pulled away from Mouhamed Gueye for the backup center role, and it's worth noting that Kristaps Porzingis (Achilles) won't be re-evaluated until next week.
