Mike Scott moved back to the bench on Thursday vs. the Blazers with three boards, one assist and no points in 13 minutes.
When Paul Millsap plays and Scott is coming off the bench, Scott hasn't had the best of luck. The Hawks did slide guys around to play Scott next to Millsap earlier in the year, but Mike Mascala has worked his way into the rotation. Scott can be left alone for now.

Mike Scott will return to the Hawks' bench on Thursday, as Shelvin Mack shifts back into the SG spot with DeMarre Carroll at SF.
Scott had 15 points and seven rebounds in a start on Wednesday, but the Hawks got blown out and coach Mike Budenholzer is reverting to a more traditional lineup with Kyle Korver (back) still on the sidelines. Mack hasn't played well in recent starts and neither he nor Mack are particularly safe options with their roles in flux.

Mike Scott started at small forward and hit 6-of-11 shots and two 3-pointers for 15 points and seven rebounds in Wednesday's ugly loss to the Wolves.
The Hawks weren't getting much from Shelvin Mack at shooting guard, so they went with Scott tonight. If Kyle Korver ever returns from his back injury, Scott will take a hit, but if you want to grab him just in case, he's not a bad player to stash if you have someone you want to cut.

Mike Scott will start at SF for the Hawks on Wednesday, sending Shelvin Mack to the bench.
Kyle Korver (back) is out again and coach Mike Budenholzer is rolling out a bigger lineup vs. the Wolves, as Atlanta continues to cling to the East's final playoff spot. Scott has fared well as a starter with Paul Millsap out in the past, and it will be interesting to see how the two co-exist in the starting five.

Mike Scott scored just seven points with three rebounds in 16 minutes off the bench on Monday.
This has typically happened to Scott when Paul Millsap is at full strength and even the Hawks' favorable playoff schedule can't help him at this rate. He's just a speculative deep league player until further notice.

Mike Scott came off the bench for 10 points, one rebound and a 3-pointer in just 15 minutes on Saturday.
Pero Antic and Paul Millsap are back for the Hawks, meaning Scott and Elton Brand will struggle for minutes off the bench. If either of the big starters suffer an injury, Scott will quickly become relevant again for the fantasy playoffs. But if Antic and Millsap stay healthy, Scott and Brand will be very shaky fantasy plays the rest of the way.

Mike Scott scored 14 points off the bench on Friday, hitting 6-of-14 shots (including a three) with three rebounds and one steal in 24 minutes.
The Hawks have a great fantasy playoff schedule but on a per-game basis he'll be a borderline value in 12-14 team leagues barring a major change in production.

Mike Scott hit 2-of-6 shots for four points and three rebounds, and Elton Brand had six points and three rebounds in Wednesday's ugly loss in Portland.
The Hawks hit just 29-of-88 shots (33 percent) and 4-of-27 3-pointers (15 percent) on a night that saw Kyle Korver's 127-game 3-pointers streak end. Yes, Pero Antic was back, but the Hawks were a disaster tonight and Scott and Brand would have struggled with Antic in street clothes. The Hawks have a great weekly playoff schedule and all four players are probably worth rostering in weekly leagues, given the 4-4-4-4 finish during the fantasy playoffs.

Mike Scott started at PF vs. the Suns and scored 20 points on 8-of-18 shooting, including three 3-pointers, with five rebounds, two assists and three steals.
Scott didn't even turn the ball over despite playing a game-high 40 minutes, and he's worth a long look since Paul Millsap (knee) remains without a return date. The Hawks lost despite Scott's solid evening, and they've now dropped seven consecutive road games due primarily to horrid defense.

Mike Scott missed all six of his shots and finished with zero points and one rebound in just 17 minutes off the bench on Wednesday.
Ouch. Scott has been playing well and scored a career-high on Saturday and had scored in double figures in three straight games. He appeared to be a safe bet with Paul Millsap out again tonight, but he never got his shot to work while Elton Brand and DeMarre Carroll were feeling it for the struggling Hawks tonight. Scott will bounce back from this, but it's also an example of how inconsistent unproven players can be, especially when coming off the bench.
