Atlanta Hawks shooting guard Kevin Huerter was red hot in the first half of the team's 110-99 win over the Celtics on Wednesday night.
Huerter, who was questionable with hamstring tightness prior to the game, hit the first five shots he took and scored all 19 points in the first half. Also, five of the team's 13 three-pointers came from Huerter.
How key is Huerter for the Hawks moving forward? Should he be in the starting lineup or is he more impactful off the bench.
Huerter will be key this season as the Hawks will have to navigate De'Andre Hunter's absence for the next, at least, eight weeks. Hunter is out due to surgery on a tendon to his right wrist.
Meanwhile, Huerter is still recovering from hamstring tightness that forced him to miss the second half against the Magic on Monday.
