Mitchell missed Monday’s game with a quad injury, missing the second leg of Miami’s back-to-back. If the 26-year-old point guard is out again, Terry Rozier could see a prominent backcourt role with Andrew Wiggins and Jaime Jaquez Jr. already ruled out.

Add another three steals to Daniels’ tally, which is up to a league-best 170. He’s had at least two steals in eight consecutive games, continuing to provide elite value in that category. Since the All-Star break, Daniels has provided fourth-round value in eight- and nine-cat formats. That’s slightly lower than his season-long value, and the foul shooting (50 percent since the break) is the reason for the dip.

Risacher had one of his best offensive games of the season in Memphis. He missed only two shots and made five three-pointers. Rostered in 21 percent of Yahoo! leagues, the rookie has provided ninth-round value in nine-cat formats since the All-Star break. Risacher still battles inconsistency, which is why the rostered percentage is so low despite him being a starter. The Hawks play three more games during Week 18, starting with the Bucks on Tuesday.

LeVert was outstanding down the stretch for the Hawks, scoring the team’s final seven points. A layup capped that run as time expired to give Atlanta the 132-130 victory. LeVert scored 14 of his 25 points in the fourth quarter, and his fantasy ceiling has been raised considerably since being traded from Cleveland to Atlanta. Since the All-Star break, LeVert has been close to a top-100 player in nine-cat formats. He’s only rostered in 30 percent of Yahoo! leagues, and that number should increase with more nights like Monday.

Replacing Mouhamed Gueye (DNP-CD) in the Hawks’ starting lineup, Barlow’s limited workload on Monday may not have been his fault. With Memphis star Jaren Jackson Jr. exiting after two minutes with a sprained ankle, there was no need for the Hawks to employ a lineup with two bigs. As a result, Terance Mann replaced Barlow in the starting lineup to begin the third quarter and finished with seven points, two rebounds, three assists, one block and one three-pointer in 29 minutes. Even if Quin Snyder continues to start Barlow, there’s no need to consider rostering him in most leagues.

Adebayo led all players in points and rebounds in this one, and he added some quality peripheral contributions in the process. Miami’s big man took the lead for a shorthanded Heat team, delivering another strong performance. He averaged 20.8 points, 7.8 rebounds and 2.8 assists across six previous games since returning from the All-Star break, and Monday’s final line was more of the same. Fantasy managers should expect big games like this for the foreseeable future.

Larsson has averaged just over 12 minutes across 37 games as a rookie, but he took on an expanded role Monday with so many players sidelined. The points represent a new career high for the Arizona product, while the rebounds, assists and minutes are all the second most of his inaugural campaign. Larsson could see expanded run in the short term if multiple players continue to miss time.

Ware had a massive night in the blocked shots category, doubling his previous high with six rejections. The rookie center’s emergence has been one of the positives for the Heat, whose season was nearly derailed by the Jimmy Butler saga. Since moving into the starting lineup for good on January 21, Ware has provided seventh-round value in nine-cat formats. He’s rostered in 52 percent of Yahoo! leagues, and that number should increase ahead of Miami’s four-game Week 18.

Herro had a difficult night from beyond the arc, so his overall field-goal percentage took a hit. The Heat guard shot 2-of-11 from three, and he’s 16-of-59 (27.1 percent) since the All-Star break. The good news for those who have Herro rostered is that he’s been solid everywhere else, providing top-40 value in eight- and nine-cat formats. Depending on how much time Andrew Wiggins (ankle) misses, Herro will continue to shoulder most of the perimeter scoring responsibilities for the Heat.

Adebayo put on a mid-range clinic on Sunday, with nine of his 12 made field goals coming from outside of the restricted area. Regardless of which Knicks player defended him, the Heat center could consistently get to his preferred spots. The result was his first 30-point game since February 1. Bam has been a fifth-round player in eight- and nine-cat formats since the All-Star break, which aligns with his season-long production. The Heat begin a four-game Week 18 against the Wizards on Monday.

Jaquez Jr. sprained his ankle on a drive to the basket in Friday’s game against the Pacers. His doubtful listing makes it seem like his ankle hasn’t responded well enough so far and he’s likely to miss Sunday’s game against the Knicks.

Robinson stepped up with Andrew Wiggins out Friday. The 30-year-old shooting guard came off the bench and was highly efficient as he made 8-of-10 shots from the field including four 3-pointers.

Herro has scored at least 24 points in four of his last five games. The 25-year-old point guard wasn’t exactly efficient, but got there on volume as he took 25 shot attempts Friday.

He’s been a top-25 player in fantasy since Butler was traded to the Warriors.

While De’Andre Hunter has undoubtedly helped the Cavaliers, the two players Atlanta received in exchange have also been productive. LeVert shined on Friday, with the 23 points being a season-high. Over the past three weeks, he’s provided late-round value in 12-team formats. Georges Niang has been even better since the move, as he’s ranked within the top 100. He played 28 minutes and started the second half, finishing with 14 points, four rebounds, two assists and three three-pointers. Niang and LeVert can have value in deep leagues, with the former being a better option for managers needing a boost for Atlanta’s four-game Week 18.

Okongwu finished Friday’s defeat with his 15th double-double of the season and sixth since moving into the starting lineup on January 20. As expected, the lineup change has paid dividends for those rostering the 2020 lottery pick. Since January 20, Okongwu has provided top 75 per-game value in eight- and nine-cat formats. That may not be “elite” production, but it’s an improvement for a player who spent the first half of the season well outside the top 100. Okongwu finishing the season as a top-75 player would be unsurprising at this rate.

After going on a run of three straight 38-point efforts, Young has scored 19 or less in his last three outings. The good news for fantasy managers is that the assist production has held steady, an unsurprising development given his play throughout the season. However, the dip in scoring has made him a third-round player in eight-cat formats over the past week. The good news is that the drop-off hasn’t been severe, so fantasy managers are still receiving solid value. Young and the Hawks play four games during Week 18, starting with the Grizzlies on Monday.

Jaquez suffered what appeared to be a rather severe sprain of his right ankle on a drive to the basket during Friday’s game. The good news is that the X-rays were negative, but the second-year wing is done for the night. Alec Burks may be in line for more rotation minutes if Jaquez misses time, but the veteran guard offers limited fantasy upside. Also, Andrew Wiggins’ absence pushed Jaquez into the starting lineup for Friday’s game, so he would be first in line moving forward.

While Tyler Herro and Bam Adebayo did what was expected of them in Miami’s 131-109 victory, the Heat also received solid production from Robinson and Davion Mitchell (20 points, six assists, two steals, and five three-pointers). Robinson shooting 6-of-13 from three isn’t stunning, but the six assists were the most he’s had in a game since January 17 (seven vs. Denver). However, this performance doesn’t change much for Robinson’s fantasy outlook, as he has been ranked well outside the top 150 in eight- and nine-cat formats over the past two weeks. Unless you need a three-point specialist who can provide added assist value every so often, there’s no need to add Robinson after Wednesday’s effort.

LeVert has reached double figures in five of the seven games he’s played for the Hawks. While the move from Cleveland to Atlanta meant he would not be playing for a contending team, he has more opportunities to provide value.

Meanwhile, Georges Niang (7/4/2/0/1 with one three-pointer in 24 minutes) has been close to a top 100 player after being included in the deal that sent De’Andre Hunter to Cleveland.

Scoring-wise, the Heat kept Young in check in their home-and-home to begin Week 17. He scored 25 points on 8-of-26 shooting, and being pestered by Davion Mitchell had much to do with that. Shooting 40.7 percent from the field, Young has provided third-round value in eight-cat formats over the past three weeks. That isn’t terrible value, but it is slightly worse than what he’s done throughout the season. Things won’t get easier for Young, as the Hawks will host the Thunder on Friday.
