Despite not recording any defensive stats, Daniels provided solid value in the rebound and assist categories. Over the past two weeks, he has been a seventh-round player in 12-team, nine-cat formats, ranking just outside the top-75. While Trae Young’s absence has not boosted Daniels’ fantasy value to the heights some hoped, he’s been better than he was at the start of the season. The Hawks play games on Friday and Sunday to end Week 6.

Unsurprisingly, Okonwgu’s return to the bench did not negatively impact his fantasy value. He’s scored at least 20 points in six of his last seven appearances, providing top-15 value in nine-at formats during this stretch. While some fantasy managers may be tempted to sell high, a better course of action may be to hold onto him. Not only should Okongwu’s production be considered, but also the injury history of starter Kristaps Porziņģis.

Back in the lineup after sitting out Sunday’s win over the Hornets, Porziņģis was one of the few Hawks to play well in Tuesday’s blowout defeat. Despite having just five games with at least 20 points, he’s closing in on top-25 value in nine-cat formats. Increased assist production has been a factor, with Porziņģis averaging a career-high 3.3 helpers per game. The Hawks still have two games to play after Thanksgiving, but the second is part of a Sunday/Monday back-to-back.

Ivey followed up Saturday’s 10-point season debut with another double-digit scoring outing on Monday. His 12 minutes of game action against the Pacers were slightly fewer, but he got up more shots and found more production from beyond the arc. Ivey finds himself in an interesting position as a full-time reserve behind a very productive starting backcourt. However, he should have plenty of opportunities to produce as the season progresses, and he potentially starts to play more minutes the further he is removed from the leg injury.

Duren extended his streak of double-digit scoring performances to 11 games on Monday, thanks to another efficient shooting performance. He also made his way back to double figures in rebounds after two straight games in single digits, and chipped in a pair of assists along the way. His production remains a significant part of the Pistons’ success, who have now secured 13 straight wins. Fantasy managers shouldn’t expect any dropoff in Duren’s performance as the season grows longer.

The Pistons earned their 13th straight win, thanks largely to another productive outing from their most productive player. Cunningham followed a 29-point, 10-assist performance with another 20-point double-double, marking his seventh in a row. Zero production from the three-point line limited him to his fewest points since November 1st, and he finished with fewer than 10 assists for the first time since November 3rd. Still, he was a monster on the glass and ended with another strong performance. He remains one of the top guards in fantasy leagues this season.

Since the Hawks lost Trae Young to a knee injury on October 29, Alexander-Walker has scored at least 20 points on seven occasions, including Sunday night. He has been a sixth-round player in nine-cat formats since making his first start on Halloween, a solid return for many fantasy managers. Alexander-Walker is rostered in 43 percent of Yahoo! leagues, and that number may creep up a bit due to the Hawks being active on a three-game Tuesday to open their Week 6 schedule.

Since scoring 18 points in consecutive games to begin November, Daniels averaged 8.3 points per game on 44.7 percent shooting from the field. While others have benefitted immensely from Trae Young’s (knee) absence, Daniels’ fantasy value has not received a significant boost. However, he had his most productive game of the season on Sunday, recording his first 20-point game while also providing solid value in the rebound, assist and steals categories. Daniels is providing sixth-round value in nine-cat formats, which may be a letdown for some, given how impactful he was last season.

Johnson once again flirted with a triple-double, finishing two rebounds shy of the feat against the Hornets. Sunday’s performance certainly ranks among his most impressive this season, as the versatile forward dropped a robust stat line without committing a turnover. Johnson has taken advantage of the increased opportunities to serve as a primary playmaker since Trae Young went down with a knee injury, providing first-round value in eight- and nine-cat formats. And Tuesday’s matchup with the Wizards looks like another good one for Johnson.

Despite coming off the bench when Porziņģis is available, Double-O is closing in on top-50 value in nine-cat formats while averaging nearly 30 minutes per game. The Hawks play three games in Week 6, starting with the Wizards on Tuesday.

He ripped off nine straight points during a 15–4 second-quarter surge that pushed Atlanta into a double-digit halftime lead. The 23-year-old rising star has delivered first-round fantasy value so far, averaging 22 points, 9.7 boards, 6.7 assists and 1.7 steals through 15 games.

Porziņģis eclipsed the lofty 30-point plateau for the first time in his Hawks debut and continues to remind everyone that, when healthy, he’s one of the league’s most uniquely impactful two-way centers thanks to his three-point range and rim-protecting prowess. The 30-year-old, who has been dealing with a lingering knee issue recently, caught fire in the second quarter, hitting five of six shots and scoring half his total during that burst. He remains the ultimate X-factor for Atlanta’s intriguing young core — the kind of matchup-warping piece who can swing an entire playoff series come spring.

With the Pistons adding Tobias Harris and Jaden Ivey to the mix on Saturday, Duren missed out on a few minutes despite not sharing a position with either of those two. He played 27 minutes against the Bucks, two fewer than his tally in each of the prior two games and his season average. However, Duren still provided solid statistical value, so fantasy managers have nothing to worry about. With Isaiah Stewart playing more of his minutes at the five, Paul Reed (two points and one rebound) only played five minutes on Saturday. There’s no need to hold onto Reed with the Pistons this close to whole.

For the first time since suffering a fractured fibula on New Year’s Day, Ivey was playing in an official NBA game. While he was not inserted into the starting lineup immediately, as Tobias Harris (ankle) was, that was unsurprising given the time missed. Ivey played 14 minutes and was relatively effective in those moments, shooting 66.7 percent from the field and hitting double figures. His return impacts Daniss Jenkins (7/1/3/1 with one three-pointer) more than any other Pistons guard, with the second-year guard playing 13 minutes. While the Pistons do end Week 6 with a back-to-back, Ivey’s return makes Jenkins surplus to requirements in most fantasy leagues.
