Johnson’s metamorphosis into one of the league’s most impactful all-around contributors continued in this one, as he recorded his second straight triple-double and his fourth in his last 12 games. The 24-year-old has operated as Atlanta’s primary offensive catalyst all season, delivering bona fide first-round fantasy value. He’s averaging a ridiculous 26.4 points, 12.0 rebounds, 10.3 assists, 1.3 steals and 0.4 blocks over his last seven contests. Are you not entertained? The Hawks are off until Friday when they face the Pistons before closing out a brief two-game week with a home tilt against the 76ers.

Okongwu took advantage of Washington’s injury-depleted frontcourt and historically porous defense, and the absence of fellow big Kristaps Porziņģis on the second night of a back-to-back, to knock down 10-of-17 shots and eclipse the 20-point plateau for the eighth time this season. He’s delivered fifth-round value for fantasy managers this season, averaging 16 points, 7.4 rebounds, three assists, 0.9 steals and 1.1 blocks through 24 contests.

Alexander-Walker fell just shy of reaching the 20-point mark for the sixth consecutive game as he knocked down just 3-of-10 from long range. The 27-year-old guard has stepped up in a big way from an offensive standpoint while Trae Young remains sidelined with an MCL sprain in his knee.

Porzingis will miss Saturday’s game for conditioning reasons. The 30-year-old power forward missed Friday’s game against the Nuggets with an illness and has missed the last five games. Onyeka Okongwu will start, but he’s already rostered in most fantasy leagues.
ATL • Forward-Center • #8

Following a four-game absence due to an illness, Porzingis was back in the rotation for this game. He came off the bench for the first time this season and only the second time in his career, which allowed Onyeka Okongwu to remain a starter. That likely isn’t a permanent change, since Porzingis was on a minutes restriction, but he thrived during his 20 minutes on the floor. This was the first of a back-to-back, and Porziņģis hasn’t played in both legs of a back-to-back this year.

Johnson became the first player in Hawks history to record a triple-double in a single half. He wasn’t quite as productive in the second half, but he was still able to set a new career high for assists and match his career high for rebounds. Johnson missed Wednesday’s game due to right calf tightness, and he was questionable to play in this one. It didn’t seem to bother him, but there is certainly a chance he is back on the injury report ahead of Saturday’s game against the Wizards since it is the second of a back-to-back.

This was the fifth straight game that NAW was able to score at least 20 points, and four of his nine career 30-point games have come over the last 15 days. It has been a spectacular first year in Atlanta for NAW, and he’ll continue to shine as a starter until Trae Young (knee) returns. His value will take a hit after that, but he should still be productive enough to be worth rostering in standard leagues.

Brown’s contributions this season have been inconsistent, but he’s still capable of making a large impact. He matched his season high for steals and scored in double digits for a second straight game while playing a season-high 32 minutes. Brown isn’t worth rostering, but he is still making an impact off the bench for Denver.

He wasn’t able to come anywhere close to his 52 points from Wednesday’s game, but Murray was still able to have a productive night. 17 of his 23 points came in the second half to help Denver get the comeback win in Atlanta. Murray is enjoying the best season of his career, and it could result in his first All-Star appearance in February.

It was a tale of two halves for Jokić. He struggled mightily in the first half of this game and entered the break with 10 points on 2-of-13 shooting, but he came out firing to start the third quarter. He had 19 points without missing a shot in the third, which brought Denver within striking distance, and then he added 11 more to complete the comeback. Jokić failed to record a double-double for just the second time this season, but it was certainly a masterclass performance.

Jones left Wednesday’s game against the Pacers with right knee soreness, but is available for Friday’s game against the Hawks. The 24-year-old power forward should continue to provide solid streaming value with Aaron Gordon still sidelined.

Porziņģis will be back after a four-game absence, and he will likely return to his spot in the starting lineup. That would typically push Onyeka Okongwu to the bench, but with Porziņģis on a minutes restriction, Okongwu will continue to start. This is the first night of a back-to-back, so Porziņģis will likely sit that one out.

Johnson will be back after a one-game absence. Mouhamed Gueye started that game in his place, but he will return to a reserve role for this one. This is the first night of a back-to-back, so don’t be surprised if Johnson is back on the injury report ahead Saturday’s game against the Wizards.

Porziņģis has missed Atlanta’s last four games due to illness, and he has progressed to the “return to competition conditioning” phase. Onyeka Okongwu will be the starting center whenever Porziņģis is not available, and he should already be rostered in all leagues.

Due to right calf tightness, Johnson was held out of Wednesday’s loss to the Clippers. Mouhamed Gueye replaced him in the starting lineup but did not offer much value, going scoreless in 23 minutes. Gueye may get another start if Johnson can’t play against the Nuggets, but there’s no need to consider streaming him.

Jones was forced to exit Wednesday’s win over the Pacers with a sore right knee. Due to Aaron Gordon’s absence, the second-year forward has been in the starting lineup, providing solid streaming value. If Jones can’t play on Friday, Tim Hardaway Jr. and Bruce Brown have the most to gain regarding playing time. Zeke Nnaji could also pick up a few more minutes, but Hardaway and Brown are the players to consider adding.

The Hawks were no match for the Clippers without Jaylen Johnson as they trailed by 14 points at halftime and ultimately lost by 23. Alexander-Walker continued to put up numbers even in the loss. The 27-year-old shooting guard had 21 points Wednesday and continues to produce with Trae Young (knee) out of the lineup.

Jokić rarely takes a backseat to anyone, but his teammate Jamal Murray scored 52 points against the Pacers on Wednesday. The 30-year-old center was still just two rebounds shy of a triple-double. Jokić will have two more chances at a triple-double this period with weekend matchups against the Hawks and the Hornets.

Murray’s dream start to the season continued Wednesday as he dropped 52 points on 25 shots in the win over the Pacers. The 28-year-old point guard knocked down a career-high 10 three-pointers. Murray is averaging career-highs across the board this year and ranks inside the top-10 in standard leagues.

One game removed from scoring a career-high 28 points, Jones was limited to 17 minutes before exiting Wednesday’s contest with a sore right knee. With Aaron Gordon already out, Tim Hardaway Jr. and Bruce Brown took on more prominent roles within the Nuggets’ rotation after Jones’ exit. That will be the case if he can’t play on Friday against the Hawks.

The Hawks are without Jalen Johnson and Kristaps Porziņģis, with the latter missing his fifth consecutive game. Okongwu will continue to start for KP, while Gueye steps in for Johnson. While Okongwu is already rostered in most leagues, Gueye is worthy of streaming consideration in deep leagues.

Initially listed as available for Wednesday’s game, Johnson was downgraded to questionable about an hour before tipoff. He is now officially out. Mouhamed Gueye could be pushed into the starting lineup out of necessity. Getting to start would make Gueye worthy of a look in deep leagues, which has not been the case when he’s come off the bench.

No surprise here as Jokić was initially listed as probable with a wrist injury. The 30-year-old center continues to play through a wrist injury, though that didn’t stop him from recording his 11th triple-double of the season against the Mavericks on Monday. Jokić is in line for another big game against the Pacers on Wednesday.

Murray is all set to play after exiting Monday’s loss to the Mavericks with a sprained right ankle.

Murray exited early on Monday, and there is a chance he remains out against Indiana.

Jones bested his career-high 16-point performance against the Suns by scoring over 20 points for the first time on Monday. Efficient shooting throughout and high production from beyond the arc nearly led the second-year forward to the 30-point mark. With Aaron Gordon (hamstring) out, Jones has seen more action than previously. He’ll likely remain in the starting unit for the time being, which should make him a potential streaming option for fantasy managers who may value three-point production.

Jokić entered Monday’s contest having come up just shy of a triple-double in each of the previous two games. He made sure to check that box against the Mavericks, to secure his 11th triple-double of the season. Yet, inefficient shooting left him unable to carry the Nuggets past the Anthony Davis-led Mavs, as Denver has dropped three of its last five games. The Nuggets, already without Aaron Gordon (hamstring) and Christian Braun (ankle), lost Jamal Murray on Monday to an ankle sprain. Given the injuries, Jokić may have to shoulder even more of the load in the near future.

Watson’s strong play continued on Monday. He scored in double figures for the fifth straight time and sixth time in the last seven games, giving him an average of 17.7 points over that period. The fourth-year wing is averaging double figures in points on the season for the first time in his career, and has enjoyed a strong first quarter of the season from an efficiency standpoint. His rebounding and assist numbers are also at career-bests — his nightly contributions will remain necessary so long as Christian Braun (ankle) and Aaron Gordon (hamstring) are sidelined.

Murray, who was initially considered questionable to return after spraining his right ankle, is now doubtful to return with the contest being well into the fourth quarter.

NAW was able to have another big scoring night, and it mostly came in the fourth quarter. He scored 16 of his 26 points in the final frame, which included a triple with less than a few seconds left to make it a one-point game. Unfortunately, they came up short, but NAW just keeps on dominating. As long as Trae Young (knee) remains out, Alexander-Walker will continue to shine for fantasy managers.

Okongwu started once again with Kristaps Porziņģis sidelined for a third straight outing. He was better as a scorer in this one after he shot 5-of-14 on Sunday, but he wasn’t as effective on the glass. The Hawks were dominated on the boards, losing the rebounding battle 60-34. Okongwu has another tough matchup coming up next against Ivica Zubac on the Clippers on Wednesday.

Jokić will take the floor again, looking to continue his season-long dominance.

Two days after recording a triple-double, Johnson set a new career high for scoring in a double-overtime win over Philadelphia. It was a spectacular showing, and Johnson was able to make an impact from beyond the arc, at the free throw line and at the rim to help the Hawks move to 13-8. With Trae Young (knee) set to miss at least two more weeks, Johnson will continue to be the star of the show. Johnson has been one of the best players in fantasy basketball this season, which will continue during Atlanta’s upcoming four-game week.

NAW wasn’t able to match his career high for scoring, which he set less than two weeks ago, but he was able to have one of his best performances of the season.

Scoring isn’t going to be a strength for him consistently, but the playmaking is absolutely something that will stick, at least until Trae Young (knee) returns. Young is supposed to be re-evaluated soon, which should provide more clarity to when he’ll be back in the lineup. Until then, Young should have more opportunities on offense.
