Kevin Huerter returns to the Atlanta Hawks lineup on Saturday after missing the last two games with a shoulder injury. Huerter should slot back into the starting small forward role against the Chicago Bulls.

That forces Solomon Hill back to the bench with Huerter back in the lineup. Hill put up a combined 40.3 FanDuel Fantasy Points in his two starts but provides limited fantasy upside with Huerter starting. Hill is averaging 12.1 fantasy points per game but has a -3.0 Offensive Box Plus/Minus, which ranks 14th on the Hawks, as per Basketball-Reference.
Huerter was heating up before going down with an injury. He was averaging 31.2 FanDuel Fantasy Points in the eight games leading up to his absence, putting up above-average points in seven of the eight games. The Bulls have been below-average in guarding against small forwards this season, allowing the 13th most fantasy points in the league. That makes Huerter and his $5,900 salary a solid value play on the express slate at FanDuel.
