Kingston Flemings erupts for 23 points off the Hawks bench

Kingston Flemings recorded 23 points, five rebounds, five assists, one steal, one block and three threes on 9-of-12 shooting and 2-of-3 from the line over 28 minutes off the bench in the Hawks' 129-117 loss to the Heat on Wednesday, October 28.

The line represents a significant spike from his baseline: Flemings had averaged 3.3 points, 3.0 rebounds and 4.3 assists in 18.3 minutes over his previous 4 games. His 40.5 fantasy points dwarf his 12.0-per-game mark from that span, driven by both the extra minutes and a much higher shot volume. The efficiency (75.0 per cent from the field) and usage boost make this performance worth noting in nine-category and points leagues, though his 16.2 per cent usage rate and 35.3 per cent true shooting on the season suggest caution about sustainability.

Kingston Flemings

Flemings has averaged just 7.2 points, 3.4 rebounds and 4.4 assists in 20.2 minutes through five games this season, with no starts. His reserve role had kept his shot attempts limited before Wednesday, when he attempted 12 field goals compared to far fewer in the previous four outings. The 28 minutes also represented a significant increase from his 18.3-minute average over his previous 4 games.

The Hawks have one game left this week, on Wednesday. Flemings' season usage and true shooting numbers suggest he has not been a featured scorer, making this eruption an outlier unless the role expands. In points leagues he is projected for 13.4 fantasy points per game, so this 40.5-point effort represents a massive spike. Stream him if the minutes hold, but expect volatility given the small sample and his bench role.

What to do

• Stream Kingston Flemings if you need immediate scoring help and can tolerate risk, but monitor whether the 28 minutes and 12 shot attempts become his new normal.

• Check the Hawks' depth chart before Wednesday's game to see if Flemings has moved into a larger role.

• Temper expectations given his 35.3 per cent true shooting and 16.2 per cent usage rate on the season, which suggest this spike may not be repeatable.
