Babbitt will not return to Monday's game against the Spurs due to a back injury, KL Chouinard of the Hawks' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Babbitt was listed as probable on the team's injury report heading into the evening, so it looks like he aggravated the injury. The Hawks deemed it a precautionary move, but his status for Wednesday's game against the Clippers is certainly up in the air.

Babbitt (back) will play in Monday's matchup with the Spurs.

EDGE Analysis

Babbitt was dealing with some back spasms, but came into Monday with a probable designation, so he was always expected to play. It's unclear if Babbitt will remain in the starting lineup, however, so that will be something to monitor up until tip off. That said, Babbitt has averaged 10.4 points, 4.0 rebounds and 1.6 assists across 25.0 minutes over the last five games, so he hasn't necessarily been an intriguing fantasy option even as a starter.

Babbitt (back) is listed as probable for Monday's game against the Spurs, Michael Cunningham of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

EDGE Analysis

Babbitt dealt with some back spasms early last week, but has since played through them, most recently posting 11 points, two rebounds, two assists and one steal across 25 minutes Saturday against the Celtics. He'll be placed on the injury report once again ahead of Monday's contest, but it appears to be just precautionary and he should take the court as usual. Babbitt has remained in the starting lineup despite the return of Ersan Ilyasova, though that might be a situation to monitor considering Babbitt is dealing with an injury.

Babbitt (back) will be in the starting lineup Saturday against the Celtics.

EDGE Analysis

Babbitt exited Wednesday's win over the Kings with back spasms but will return to the starting lineup Saturday night. Look for Ersan Ilyasova to come off the bench in the contest but he could see additional action if the Hawks' decide to monitor Babbitt's minutes.

Babbitt (back) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Celtics, Michael Cunningham of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

EDGE Analysis

Babbitt was forced out of Wednesday's game against the Kings with back spasms and did not return. Another update should come on the stretch four's health following shootaround Saturday morning, but in the event that he is unable to play, Ersan Ilyasova would likely re-enter the starting lineup and pick up additional minutes.

Babbitt is dealing with back spasms and won't return to Wednesday's game against the Kings.

EDGE Analysis

Despite the return of Ersan Ilyasova (knee), Babbitt picked up yet another start at power forward Wednesday, but had his night cut short after just 11 minutes because of back spasms. He finished the game posting 13 points (5-7 FG, 3-4 3Pt), one rebound and one block, while knocking down an impressive 75 percent of his three-point attempts. Babbitt will likely be reevaluated after the game, but for now, he can tentatively be considered questionable for Saturday's matchup with the Celtics.

Babbitt produced 17 points (6-13 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, two assists, one steal and one block across 42 minutes during a 117-115 win over the Cavaliers on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Babbitt took advantage of the start and heavy workload by totaling a season-high 17 points. He has played well over the last three games, with at least 12 points in each and an average of 3.3 three-pointers made per game during that span. While Ersan Ilyasova (knee) and Mike Muscala (ankle) are out, Babbitt will likely continue to take on a larger than normal role.

Babbitt will start at power forward for Sunday's game against the Cavaliers, Dave McMenamin of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Hawks are set to be without both Ersan Ilyasova (knee) and Mike Muscala (ankle), which affords Babbitt the opportunity to jump into the starting lineup. Babbit has averaged just 15.0 minutes per game so far this season, so look for a significant bump in playing time with the move to the top unit. That being said, rookie John Collins is also expected to help cover the extra minutes, so the two will likely split the added time. Babbitt's entrance into the starting lineup could make him a potential punt-play for Sunday's DFS slate.

Babbitt finished with 16 points (7-12 FG, 2-4 3Pt), five rebounds and one steal across 25 minutes during Wednesday's 119-109 loss to the 76ers.

EDGE Analysis

Coming into Wednesday's game, Babbitt was posting 3.7 points across 11.9 minutes per game, making his impressive outing against the 76ers unexpected. It's unclear if this will be the start of more playing time for the eighth-year man out of Nevada, but he's historically been somewhat of an afterthought in most places he's played. Babbit has never averaged more than 18.0 minutes and 7.0 points per game and never eclipsed more than 68 games played in any given year.

Babbitt collected zero points (0-1 Fg, 0-1 3Pt) and two rebounds across six minutes during Sunday's game against the Nets.

EDGE Analysis

Babbitt signed a one-year deal with Atlanta in August after spending last season with the Heat where he started in 55 games. Since the Hawks traded for Marco Belinelli and drafted John Collins this offseason, the 28-year-old will likely continue to be at the end of the bench going forward.
