Kent Bazemore will continue to come off the bench in Monday's game against the Thunder.

Bazemore will continue to come off the bench during Monday's game against the Thunder, KL Chouinard of Hawks.com reports.

Analysis:

Bazemore has looked good in both of his first two games back from an ankle sprain, averaging 12.5 points and five boards while shooting 52.6 percent from the field, but coach Mike Budenholzer will continue to run with Thabo Sefolosha as his starter at small forward, after Sefolosha performed admirably in Bazemore's absence. During the Hawks' most recent game Saturday against the Spurs, Bazemore saw 20 minutes to Sefolosha's 25, so the playing time should be fairly evenly distributed between both players even though Bazemore will be relegated to the bench.
