Back to bench against Minnesota
Krejci is not in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against Minnesota, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
Analysis
The Hawks are getting Jalen Johnson back from his illness Wednesday, so Krejci is the odd man out of the first unit. On the year, Krejci has averaged 10.6 points, 2.3 rebounds and 1.5 assists in 23.1 minutes per contest over 28 games off the bench.

Pops for 18 points in starting role
Krejci closed with 18 points (7-14 FG, 4-10 3Pt), one rebound, two assists and one steal in 34 minutes during Monday's 140-129 loss to the Thunder.
Analysis
Krejci filled in for Jalen Johnson (illness) and had his fifth-best scoring performance of the season during his second start. While the fifth-year pro is outside the realm of fantasy relevance, Krejci has come in handy during Atlanta's smattering of absences and should be considered a viable option when the injury tags pile up.

Starting Monday
Krejci will start against the Thunder on Monday, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
Analysis
With Trae Young (quadriceps), Jalen Johnson (illness) and Kristaps Porzingis (illness) all sidelined, Krejci will enter the starting five for just the second time this season. In his previous start during a loss to the Pistons on Nov. 18, the 25-year-old recorded nine points (3-9 FG, 3-8 3Pt), three rebounds and two assists in 36 minutes. Over his last five outings, Krejci has averaged 12.2 points and 2.0 rebounds in 22.2 minutes per game.

Hits multiple triples again
Krejci closed Friday's 126-111 loss to the Heat with 11 points (4-9 FG, 3-7 3Pt), four rebounds and one block in 22 minutes.
Analysis
Krejci connected on at least three triples for the third straight game, although he added very little else, as per usual. While he has been a sporadic source of points off the bench, on the whole, Krejci hasn't been able to make the most of his opportunities. In 28 appearances, he is averaging just 10.6 points and 2.7 three-pointers in 23.6 minutes per game. At best, he can be utilized as a three-point streamer, if and when the situation arises.
