Hawks' Ersan Ilyasova: Will continue to start

Ilyasova will start at power forward for at least the Hawks' next two games with Paul Millsap (knee) sidelined, Chris Vivlamore of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Analysis:

While Millsap was sitting for Saturday's loss to the Trail Blazers, Ilyasova was stellar in his first start for the Hawks, contributing 23 points (7-11 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 5-7 FT), four rebounds, two steals, one assist and one block across 27 minutes. The 29-year-old previously thrived in a starting role for the 76ers earlier this season, so he could make for an appealing DFS target for as long as Millsap is out.
