Friday’s game is the first of two in as many nights for the Hawks, who host the Warriors on Saturday. Given the history between Kuminga and the Warriors, he should be expected to be available for that matchup. Mouhamed Gueye should step into the frontcourt rotation, but there’s no need to stream him.

Clowney sprained his right wrist early in Wednesday’s loss to the Thunder, resulting in more minutes for Chaney Johnson and Josh Minott. While Minott has delivered higher fantasy upside, Johnson’s playing time has been more consistent recently. Fantasy managers would be better off leaving both alone.

More likely than not, MPJ’s season is over. He was diagnosed with a left hamstring strain, and the Nets are looking to improve their lottery odds. Having MPJ out of the lineup will help with that. Danny Wolf should remain in the starting unit and be a solid producer for managers that need a streamer.

Johnson didn’t have his best night shooting the basketball, but he finished one assist shy of a triple-double on Wednesday. Since the All-Star break, the Hawks’ forward has provided second-round value in eight-cat formats, which aligns with his season-long value. And with Atlanta’s 11-game win streak, they’re now one game in the loss column out of sixth in the East.

Alexander-Walker has gotten his Week 21 off to an excellent start. After dropping a career-high 41 points on Monday, he helped extend Atlanta’s win streak to 11 games with another quality showing on Wednesday. The overall stat line may have been modest, especially in comparison to what Alexander-Walker did on Monday, but there’s no need for concern. Since the All-Star break, he has provided first-round value in eight-cat formats.

After going off for 30 points in a March 14 win over the Bucks, McCollum crashed back to earth in Monday’s win over the Magic. The good news for fantasy managers is that the veteran guard did not take long to turn things around, as he scored 24 points on good percentages against the Mavericks. Add in the assists, and many category league managers will be reasonably pleased with McCollum’s showing on Wednesday.

Traoré wasn’t the most efficient player on Wednesday, an unsurprising development for a rookie point guard facing the reigning champs. However, the six assists and three defensive contributions were positives for the Nets guard. With Egor Dëmin (foot) done for the season, Traoré’s development is likely to be one of the points of emphasis for the Nets during the final weeks of the season. If he can improve his efficiency, there may be some value for deep-league managers.

Clowney suffered a sprained right wrist during the first quarter of Wednesday’s game and will not return. He played eight minutes, finishing with three points (1-of-5 FGs, 1-of-2 FTs) and two rebounds. Danny Wolf and Chaney Johnson are two players whose minutes may increase with Clowney done for the night, with the former already in the starting lineup.

Initially questionable for Wednesday’s game, Saraf is now out.

While he wasn’t in the starting lineup for Monday’s game, Saraf played more minutes than fellow rookie and starting point guard Nolan Traoré. Saraf played 23 minutes, finishing with a line that included a season-high four steals, while Traoré (four points, one rebound, one assist and one steal) struggled in 16 minutes of action. With Egor Dëmin (foot) done for the season, Saraf and Traoré will have their opportunities to impress.

Claxton returned to the Nets’ lineup on Monday after sitting out Saturday’s loss to the 76ers. While he did record his first double-double since February 9 and 11th of the season, the Nets’ center was limited to 20 minutes. That’s the concern regarding Claxton. If available, his minutes will take a hit, as he’s played 28 minutes or fewer in each of his last nine appearances. Claxton did produce a solid stat line on Monday, but the fantasy upside for the rest of the season is limited.

Daniels’ second double-double in three games included a season-high 12 rebounds for the Hawks’ guard. While his upside as a scorer is a bit limited, the fourth-year guard remains a valuable option in category leagues because of everything else that he brings to the table. After a slow start to the season, Daniels has been a fourth-round player in eight-cat formats since the All-Star break.

On a night when Nickeil Alexander-Walker dropped a career-high 41 points, Johnson recorded his second triple-double in as many games and 13th of the season.

The Hawks play three more games in Week 21, starting with the Mavericks on Wednesday.

In a matchup of the two hottest teams in the NBA, Alexander-Walker and the Hawks extended their win streak to 10 games. One of the NBA’s most-improved players, he recorded his first 40-point game and did so while shooting excellent percentages. Alexander-Walker was 9-of-15 from beyond the arc, and the 24 points he scored before halftime were a career-high for a half. While some cited Jalen Johnson’s exponential growth as the biggest reason why the Hawks were willing to trade Trae Young, Alexander-Walker’s exceeding expectations was also a factor.

The Hawks have won nine straight games, and Alexander-Walker’s production is one of the reasons why.

McCollum caught fire from deep in Saturday’s 122-99 victory, shooting 7-of-10 from beyond the arc. This was his second 30-point effort since joining the Hawks, the first being a 38-point showing in a February 9 loss to the Timberwolves. Since moving into the starting lineup in the Hawks’ third game out of the All-Star break, McCollum has averaged 17.8 points and 2.1 three-pointers per game. His field-goal percentage hasn’t been the best, but managers needing points and three-pointers can benefit from rostering the veteran guard.

Triple-doubles have eluded Johnson this month, but this was another near miss for him. Still, he was able to stuff the stat sheet once again in another win for Atlanta. They currently own the longest winning streak in the NBA at eight games, though it’s worth noting they’ve only played on away game during this streak. Still, Johnson has been fantastic, and he’ll look to stay hot against the Bucks on Saturday to wrap up the week.

Following a three-game absence with a knee injury, Kuminga returned to the lineup, and while Atlanta’s winning streak stayed alive, he wasn’t as productive as his previous appearances for Atlanta. He averaged 21.3 points across his first three games for the Hawks, but his only two points in this game came at the free throw line.
