Hinrich still looking for his shot: Hawks G Kirk Hinrich has looked rusty in his seven games this season since returning from offseason shoulder surgery, and that trend continued on Monday night against the Suns. Hinrich, who played 20 minutes off the bench, was just 1 of 5 shooting from the field for four points in the game while adding two rebounds and two assists in a 99-90 loss to Phoenix.

Fantasy Analysis
Hinrich’s shooting percentage has fallen to 31.4 percent on the season, as he has clearly not looked to be in top form early on. He is averaging just four points and three assists per game, and should not be relied upon in any Fantasy format until he finds his shot. (Updated 02/06/2012).
01/25/2012 23:01 Bonner, Blair help Spurs crush Hawks
Matt Bonner and DeJuan Blair both scored 17 points, and the San Antonio Spurs handed the surging Atlanta Hawks their first lopsided loss of the season, 105-83 on Wednesday night.
01/12/2012 22:09 Hawks dominate 'Cats minus Horford
Josh Smith scored 30 points, Joe Johnson added 23 and the Atlanta Hawks won their first game without All-Star center Al Horford, routing the Charlotte Bobcats 111-81 on Thursday night.
Hinrich joined the Hawks in a trade last season and immediately took over the starting point guard role. However, his production remained fairly unchanged from his time in Washington. The veteran out of Kansas averaged just over 10 points per contest for the second straight year to go along with 4.0 assists and 2.5 rebounds. However, an injury during the playoffs provided Jeff Teague with an opportunity to play, so Hinrich may be coming off the bench next season. Either way, Teague will likely steal minutes away from the 30-year-old, which is why he will enter the season as merely a Fantasy reserve, worthy of a late-round selection in most formats. However, Fantasy owners should continue and monitor how the Hawks split up minutes between the two. While Hinrich doesn't normally offer high-end production, his diversified stat line gives him some value in deeper formats when he sees quality minutes. (Updated 8/23/11)
