The second-year forward is set to return after missing Tuesday's game due to a left hip contusion, which he suffered on a hard fall Sunday. Before the injury, Risacher was heating up, posting 15.4 points a game. With Risacher back in the starting lineup, Luke Kennard and Asa Newell should see reduced roles.

Hawks' Zaccharie Risacher: Fares well in easy win
Rotowire
Risacher racked up 15 points (7-8 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 0-1 FT), three rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal over 22 minutes during Wednesday's 133-100 win over the Kings.
This was a decent all-around line for the second-year forward. He's certainly not taking the fantasy landscape by storm, but he's nestled just inside the top-150 for standard nine-category formats. Through 10 games, he's averaging 12.9 points, 2.6 rebounds, 1.2 assists, 1.1 steals, 0.6 blocks and 1.6 three-pointers in 25.2 minutes per contest.

Hawks' Zaccharie Risacher: Goes for 19 points Saturday
Rotowire
Risacher notched 19 points (7-14 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound, four assists and two steals in 27 minutes during Saturday's 122-102 win over the Lakers.
Risacher was one of the top scorers for the Hawks in this upset win over the Lakers thanks to an efficient performance, and the second-year forward also made his presence felt as a playmaker and defender in this contest. Risacher endured a relatively slow start to the season but has been turning things around of late, surpassing the 15-point plateau in his last three games, a span during which he's also gone 7-for-20 from three-point range.
Risacher notched 21 points (7-14 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds, one assist and one steal across 26 minutes during Tuesday's 127-112 victory over Orlando.
Risacher ended with a season-high 21 points, tallying double digits for just the third time this season. Outside of some scoring bumps, it's been a relatively underwhelming start for Risacher, averaging 11.3 points per game, adding 2.0 rebounds, 0.8 steals and 1.5 three-pointers in 23.5 minutes. Despite starting, his role is more like that of a sixth or seventh man, making him a tough sell in standard formats.

Hawks' Zaccharie Risacher: Quiet again in win
Rotowire
Risacher provided eight points (2-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT), three rebounds, one block and one steal over 28 minutes during Wednesday's 117-112 victory over the Nets.
Risacher continues to offer very little, with his low usage resulting in limited production. Through three games played, he is averaging just 8.7 points and 1.0 three-pointers in 22.9 minutes per game. Despite having seemingly locked down a starting position, there may be no reason to be holding him outside of deeper fantasy formats at this point.

Hawks' Zaccharie Risacher: Likely to play vs. Brooklyn

Hawks' Zaccharie Risacher: Posts dud in loss
Rotowire
Risacher produced two points (1-5 FG, 0-2 3Pt) over 20 minutes during Monday's 128-123 loss to the Bulls.
Risacher returned from a two-game absence and saw a modest workload in the loss. He couldn't find his rhythm from the field, so coach Quin Snyder opted to lean on Nickeil Alexander-Walker and Luke Kennard in the second unit. Risacher did have a strong showing Opening Night against the Raptors on Oct. 22, so his fantasy managers will be hoping he rediscovers his form quickly.
