The Hawks won’t have Jalen Johnson (shoulder) for Saturday’s game. It will be Gueye who fills the void in the starting lineup, with Jonathan Kuminga coming off the bench. The promotion gives Gueye a modest boost, but he is not worth the risk in redraft leagues.

Absent from the Hawks’ initial injury report for Saturday’s game, Johnson is now considered questionable. Obviously, that is not the trend the Hawks or fantasy managers want to see. If Johnson can’t play on Saturday, Jonathan Kuminga could make a spot start against his former team.

Alexander-Walker has scored 20 points or more in each of his last four appearances, as he continues to provide reliable fantasy value. Since the All-Star break, the Hawks’ guard has provided second-round value in eight-cat formats. Even Jalen Johnson, who has been a first-round player for most of the season, has not been that productive for fantasy managers. The Hawks host the Warriors on Saturday in their final game of Week 21.

Atlanta’s 11-game win streak came to a screeching halt on Friday, with the Rockets doing a good job of limiting Johnson’s overall impact. The three assists were the fewest he’s had in a game that he’s played at least 20 minutes since October 27. That alone is a reminder of how productive Johnson has been this season. It would be unsurprising if he rebounded with a big night against the Warriors on Saturday.

Porter’s availability is far more impactful on fantasy basketball, given how productive he has been this season. Ryan Rollins has been the starting point guard when KPJ sits, raising his fantasy ceiling. As for Harris, his status does not affect fantasy basketball, as he is not guaranteed rotation minutes when available.

Trent exited Thursday’s loss to the Jazz prematurely due to an adductor injury, but his absence from the injury report for Saturday means he’s good to go. With Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) unavailable, Trent may remain in the rotation due to the need for offense, but he is not a player worth streaming.

It’s unclear how close the Bucks were to trading Antetokounmpo over the past year, but Edens wasn’t mincing his words in an interview with ESPN’s Ramona Shelburne. The Bucks co-owner made it clear that the organization has no plans to let the 31-year-old power forward play out the last season on his contract without an extension. Until a deal is made, expect trade rumors to continue to swirl around Antetokounmpo as we head into the summer.

Dieng returned to the starting lineup for this game after coming off the bench in his return from a two-game absence on Tuesday. He was one of the few bright spots in a blowout loss for Milwaukee, and he has been productive since being traded by the Thunder at the deadline. Things are spiraling for the Bucks, but Dieng should continue to play a large role and be a solid option for fantasy managers.

Trent played 17 minutes before his early departure, and his status for Saturday’s game against the Suns is certainly in question. However, he wasn’t part of the rotation in four of their previous five games entering this matchup with Utah, so his status won’t have much of an impact on the Bucks’ rotation.

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.

Milwaukee believes it will be mutually beneficial if he sits out the rest of the season, likely since it would help improve their lottery odds. However, Antetokounmpo wants to play. He’s set to be re-evaluated early next week after being diagnosed with a left knee hyperextension and bone bruise. This clear tension will certainly continue to fan the flames of trade rumors that have surrounded Giannis and the Bucks for most of the season.

Following a two-game absence with an illness, Dieng returned to the lineup for this game, though he didn’t remain in the starting lineup after starting the six games prior to his absence. However, he still played 30 minutes off the bench and was able to pour in the points from beyond the arc. Dieng should continue to play big minutes for the rest of the season, especially with Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) sidelined for at least the next week.

After missing Sunday’s game against the Pacers, which was the second night of a back-to-back, KPJ returned to take on Cleveland. He had his first double-double and highest-scoring performance of the month, though it wasn’t enough to get the win over his former team. Still, it was a strong outing for KPJ and his best since he returned from a four-game absence with the knee injury. He’ll look to stay hot in Utah on Thursday.

KPJ’s return will push AJ Green back to the bench, while Prince and Sims will fill in for Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) and Myles Turner (calf). Giannis is set to miss at least one week, so either Prince or Sims could remain with the opening group for multiple games.

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.
