McCollum amassed 12 points (5-14 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 2-4 FT), four assists and one steal in 24 minutes off the bench during Sunday's 124-111 victory over the Warriors.

McCollum made his Hawks debut Sunday after being acquired Friday in the deal that sent Trae Young to the Wizards. After he had started in each of his 35 appearances with Washington while averaging 30.9 minutes per contest, McCollum was deployed on the second unit Sunday and predictably saw a reduction in his playing time. The 34-year-old still looks to be worthy of holding in most leagues for the time being, but if he ends up sticking in a 20-to-25-minute bench role with the Hawks on a more permanent basis, fantasy managers in shallower formats may be best served moving on from him.
