Babbitt moves into the starting lineup as Josh Richardson has been ruled out with a sore left foot. Babbitt has sat out two of the past three games, but did see an average of Babbitt did not see the floor during Thursday's win over the 76ers.
Babbitt was expected to return to a reserve role with Tyler Johnson rejoining the starting five. However, it was not clear that Babbitt would remain on the bench for the entire contest. Through 44 appearances in , he is averaging 5.
Babbitt will return to the bench for Thursday's game against the 76ers. Babbitt started the last three games, but hasn't been overly effective with the extra minutes and will now return to his typical bench role. Tyler Johnson will rejoin starting lineup in the corresponding move and Wayne Ellington quad is returning from injury, which could keep Babbitt off the floor for most of Thursday's contest.
Babbitt can safely be avoided for fantasy purposes with a Heat roster at full strength. The Heat will bring Kelly Olynyk off the bench Saturday, and with Bam Adebayo personal unavailable, it's Babbitt who will get the nod at one forward spot. James Johnson will start at the other forward, while Justise Winslow moves to the bench.

Babbit has been a healthy scratch in 13 of the last 20 games, seeing double-digit minutes just twice since mid-December after being somewhat of a fixture off the bench prior to that point.
Given the team's depth of young talent along the wing, it should be no surprise if things remain the same going forward, as the last-placed Hawks are focused on developing guys for the future.
