The Hawks already know their playoff seed and play-in tournament matchup, as they’ll visit the Magic early next week. Niang and LeVert are among the rotation players listed as questionable for Sunday. If they don’t play, the Hawks will likely give Terance Mann and Vit Krejci additional minutes, to name two players absent from the initial injury report.

Atlanta is locked into the eight-seed in the East and will visit Orlando in the first round of next week’s play-in tournament. There’s nothing on the line for Sunday’s regular-season matchup, which may prompt the Hawks to rest key players like Okongwu and Daniels. Garrison Mathews and Vit Krejci are two of the players who would play more if the Hawks decide to rest their starters.

Young is on the Hawks’ initial injury report for the same issue as in previous games, but he’s considered questionable for Sunday instead of probable. The Hawks will visit Orlando for their play-in tournament matchup early next week, and the outcome of the regular season finale won’t change that. If Young doesn’t play, look for Keaton Wallace to log significant minutes.

Towns did not play in Friday’s loss to the Cavaliers, while Brunson was active for both games of New York’s final back-to-back. With the Knicks having secured the three-seed in the East, there isn’t anything on the line for Sunday’s game. Cameron Payne and Mitchell Robinson are the likely starters if Towns and Brunson do not play.

The Knicks are locked into the three-seed in the East, so there may not be much motivation to play the starters other than Mikal Bridges (he has not missed a game this season). Anunoby and Hart sat out Thursday’s loss to the Pistons, resulting in Miles McBride and Precious Achiuwa moving into the starting lineup. They’re the likely replacements if OG and Josh do not play.

Shamet has not been a factor in fantasy basketball, but he’s made at least one three-pointer in 12 straight games. The five he hit on Friday were the most in a game for the Knicks wing since April 1, when Shamet knocked down six in a win over the 76ers. With Miles McBride (12/1/1/1 with three three-pointers in 18 minutes) being New York’s best bench scorer, Shamet’s production will be needed in the playoffs. Despite Friday’s loss, the Knicks clinched the three-seed due to Indiana’s loss to Orlando. They’ll face Detroit in the first round, which begins next weekend.

Anunoby returned to the Knicks’ lineup after sitting out Thursday’s loss to the Pistons and struggled offensively. Shooting 33.3 percent from the field overall, the Knicks forward was 2-of-9 from beyond the arc. The good news for fantasy managers in active leagues is that Anunoby only committed one turnover. Hence, the field goal percentage was the only category in which they took a hit. The Knicks visit the Nets on Sunday in a regular season finale that won’t impact the standings, as New York secured the three-seed due to Indiana’s loss to Orlando.

With the Pacers losing to the Magic on Friday, the Knicks secured the three-seed in the East before their game concluded. That doesn’t take away the sting of blowing a 23-point lead, but New York can take some solace in Brunson looking much sharper than he did in Thursday’s loss to the Pistons. However, while he shot over 50 percent from the field, he only had two assists on the night. Mikal Bridges (17/2/8/1 with one three-pointer) was the more productive playmaker against the Cavaliers, but the Knicks will need Brunson to do a bit more in setting up his teammates during the postseason. New York’s regular-season finale against the Nets may be seen as an opportunity to rest the starters before their first-round matchup with Detroit. If so, Brunson won’t help fantasy managers in active leagues.

For the 91st time in his career, Young finished with at least 30 points and 10 assists. That puts him 14 games behind LeBron James and James Harden, who are tied for second in NBA history with 105 such games. Young is getting hot at the right time for the Hawks with the postseason approaching. Atlanta clinched the eighth seed in the East on Friday, so Young will likely sit out against the Magic on Sunday. That will give him a few days to rest before they head to Orlando for the Play-In Tournament next week.

What a night it was for LeVert. He entered halftime with 18 points while shooting a perfect 7-of-7 from the floor and ended up setting a new season-high for scoring. He combined with fellow reserve Georges Niang to provide 47 points and eight triples off the bench, which helped Atlanta overcome a halftime deficit. LeVert has been a welcomed addition to the Atlanta bench and should play an important role for them in the postseason. However, with the Hawks locked in to the eighth seed, he may not play in the season finale on Sunday against Orlando.

Gueye’s role has been inconsistent for Atlanta this season, even as a starter for the past two months. However, this was one of the best performances of his career. He provided value across the board and demolished his previous career-high of 12 rebounds, which he reached twice this season. Gueye, who is only 22 years old, should continue to start in the postseason for Atlanta, though Quin Snyder won’t hesitate to turn to his veterans off the bench earlier on. With Jalen Johnson healthy next season, there isn’t a clear path for Gueye to retain standard league value.

The Knicks still need a win to lock up the three-seed in the East. Brunson and McBride should be available for Tuesday’s game between the playoff implications and the probable tags. Cameron Payne benefits the most when either is unavailable, while Delon Wright would enter the rotation if Brunson and McBride are out.

Make it nine straight games with a double-double or triple-double for Towns, whose performance on Sunday was pedestrian by his standards. Over the past two weeks, he has provided third-round value in eight-cat formats, with an average of 3.3 turnovers per game causing a two-round drop in his nine-cat value. The good news for Towns managers whose seasons run through Week 23 is that the Knicks play four games and still have some work to do to sew up the three-seed in the East.

Outside of Chicago’s Coby White, not many players have been as hot as Anunoby has been recently. He’s scored 23 points or more in 10 straight games, including three 30-point outings. Anunoby was rolling during the third quarter of Sunday’s victory, scoring 19 points on 7-of-7 shooting from the field. His hot streak was the perfect time for Anunoby managers whose leagues ended on Sunday. For those whose leagues will be active during Week 23, the Knicks play four games, beginning with the Celtics on Tuesday.

Brunson returned to the Knicks’ lineup on Sunday after a 15-game absence. Unsurprisingly, there was some rust early on. Brunson would score 10 of his 14 points after halftime as the Knicks moved one step closer to locking up the three-seed in the East. Following the game, Knicks coach Tom Thibodeau said that Brunson was not under any restrictions, but the team trainer watched him closely throughout the game. Also returning on Sunday was Miles McBride (groin), who played 16 minutes and finished with eight points, two assists, two steals and two three-pointers. The Knicks play four games during Week 23, starting with the Celtics on Tuesday.

LeVert was one of three Hawks to score at least 21 points in Sunday’s victory, and seven reached double figures. That tends to happen when facing the team with the league’s worst defense. While LeVert’s output in category leagues has not been great, his value has increased in points leagues since moving to Atlanta. The Hawks play four games during Week 23, starting with the Magic on Tuesday, which is good news for LeVert managers whose leagues will be active.

Sunday’s double-double was Okongwu’s third in five games, and the 27 points are the most he’s scored since February 5. Since the All-Star break, the Hawks’ starting center has provided third-round value in nine-cat formats and fourth-round value in eight-cat. Okongwu has made the most of his opportunity since being moved into the starting lineup to the delight of many fantasy managers. Look for his Yahoo! ADP to be well within the top 100 next season after he began this season at 116.

As expected, Young took full advantage of Sunday’s matchup with the league’s worst defense. Having struggled against the Knicks on Saturday, the Hawks’ point guard recorded another points/assists double-double against the Jazz. Also, he only committed three turnovers, so fantasy managers who needed a solid outing in their championship round had to be pleased. For those whose leagues run through Week 23, Young and the Hawks play four games, starting with the Magic on Tuesday.

Sunday’s game will be McBride’s first since March 20, while Payne played rotation minutes off the bench in Saturday’s win over the Hawks. The Knicks will have their full point guard rotation against the Suns, as starter Jalen Brunson is also available. His presence means that McBride and Payne will provide limited fantasy value coming off the bench.

Brunson is back after a 15-game absence and will be in the Knicks’ starting lineup.

As expected, Young has been upgraded from probable to available for Sunday’s game. After struggling in Saturday’s loss to the Knicks, this should be a “get right” game for Ice Trae, as the Jazz own the NBA’s worst record and defensive rating. Don’t be surprised if he records a gaudy stat line in the final game of Week 22.

Payne is dealing with a minor ankle tweak but appears set to play on Sunday. He likely won’t need to start with Jalen Brunson ready for a return, so he and Miles McBride should be prepared to serve smaller roles than they have lately.

McBride has missed eight games with a groin injury but has a chance to return against Phoenix. He will back up Jalen Brunson if he’s active, so fantasy managers should expect his ceiling to be lower than it was during his stint as a starter.

Niang’s inconsistent production makes him a challenging player to trust in fantasy leagues. However, his place within the Hawks’ rotation has made him worth a look in some deep leagues. Niang did not shoot the ball well on Saturday, but he did replace Mouhamed Gueye (six points, three rebounds, one assist and one block in 17 minutes) in the lineup to begin the second half. The minutes are there, but the production has not been recently, with Niang reaching double figures in two of his last five appearances.

After scoring 21 points in his prior three appearances, Mann hit double figures for the first time since March 27 in Saturday’s defeat. Despite averaging just 10.6 points per game, he has been a ninth-round player in nine-cat formats over the past two weeks. Georges Niang and Caris LeVert have been superior deep-league options since the trade deadline, but Mann will be worthy of a look for Sunday’s game against the Jazz.

LeVert has reached double figures in three straight and four of his last five appearances for the Hawks. However, over the past two weeks, he’s ranked outside the top 200 in nine-cat formats. The issue has been the field goal percentage. Although LeVert shot the ball well on Saturday, making six of his 11 attempts, he’s been a 38.9 percent shooter over the past two weeks. He’ll look to end Week 22 on a high note when the Hawks host Utah on Sunday.

Young and the Hawks had a rough afternoon, trailing by as much as 34 before making things more respectable late. His streak of games with at least 12 assists ended at six, and the Hawks’ point guard also shot 33.3 percent from the field. Sunday’s game against the Jazz will be a good opportunity for Young to bounce back, as Utah has the NBA’s worst record and is ranked 30th in defensive rating.

Hart finished one rebound shy of another triple-double in the Knicks’ comfortable win over the Hawks.

After a disappointing performance in which he only attempted six shots in a loss to the Cavaliers on Wednesday, Bridges was far more involved as a scorer on Saturday. The 20 points were two fewer than his total in New York’s first two games of Week 22, and Mikal has recorded five assists or more in four of his last six outings. The next test for Bridges will be to keep this going once Jalen Brunson returns from his ankle injury, which could be as soon as Sunday against Phoenix.

Make it nine straight games with at least 23 points for Anunoby, who was impactful on both ends of the floor in Saturday’s victory. According to Basketball Monster, he’s ranked fourth in eight- and nine-cat formats over the past two weeks.

While there was a brief injury scare during the second quarter of Saturday’s game, with Towns exiting briefly, he was able to return and continue to dominate offensively. He’s recorded a double-double in eight consecutive games, with Saturday’s being the third of the 30-point variety. Given Phoenix’s struggles at the center position, Sunday could be another big day for KAT, especially if Jalen Brunson (ankle) returns.

Payne will be back after a four-game absence, but he won’t return to the starting unit.

The Knicks will end this week with a Saturday/Sunday back-to-back, visiting Atlanta before returning home to host the Suns. And the team’s point guard rotation may be back to normal. In addition to Jalen Brunson potentially returning from his ankle injury, McBride and Payne “should” be cleared any day, according to their head coach. McBride has missed New York’s last seven games and Payne the last four. How much McBride or Payne would impact fantasy basketball during the final days of Week 22 depends on Brunson’s availability.

The 24-year-old center played 40 minutes and had a 20-point double-double against the Mavericks Wednesday.

Young continues to show up on injury reports with an Achilles issue, but it hasn’t impacted his play much at all. The 26-year-old point guard was hardly efficient scoring as he had 25 points on 20 shots, though he set a franchise record with at least 12 assists for the sixth game in a row. He also reached 823 assists on the season, which has him tied with Doc Rivers for the most in a season in franchise history. He’s also scored at least 25 points in seven of his last nine games. Expect Young to continue playing through his Achilles injury as if it’s not bothering him.

By design, the Cavaliers funneled the ball in Hart’s direction, resulting in him attempting 19 shots on Wednesday. He made eight, but it was more important for the Knicks that Hart attempted those shots instead of passing them up. Hart’s fantasy value has taken a hit recently, as shooting 64.7 percent from the foul line over the past two weeks hasn’t helped. However, he’s ranked just outside the top-50 in nine-cat during this stretch. Hart’s increased usage on Wednesday may have come at Mikal Bridges’ expense, as he only attempted six shots and finished with eight points, two rebounds, three assists and one steal. Bridges will need to be better, beginning with the Knicks’ Saturday/Sunday back-to-back.

That’s 23 more than his tally in the prior two seasons combined, a testament to how being the lone big on the court has positively impacted KAT’s fantasy value. However, he did not record any defensive stats on Wednesday and was responsible for seven turnovers.

Young did plenty of passing in the first half of this game and entered halftime with 10 assists. Though he still added to that total after the break, he ended up doing more as a scorer in the second half. 22 of his 29 points came after the break as he fell one point shy of adding another 30-point, 10-assist game to his resume. This was his sixth-straight double-double, and he is now just 12 assists away from breaking the Hawks’ franchise record for assists in a season. He has had at least 12 assists in five consecutive game, so he could certainly break the record against Dallas on Wednesday.
