Young and LeVert have been the Hawks’ leading ball-handlers and scorers since returning from the All-Star break, and both should see big minutes and usage against the Pacers. The Atlanta-Indiana game has a point total set at 245.5, so there should be plenty of opportunities for both Young and LeVert to score, facilitate and knock down triples.

Williams moved into the starting lineup with Chet Holmgren (leg) and Isaiah Hartenstein both out Friday. The 22-year-old power forward didn’t disappoint fantasy mangers that chose to use him as a streamer. Williams had a triple-double and added three steals and two blocks on the defensive end. He’s unusable in fantasy leagues once Holmgren or Hartenstein returns, but this was quite an effort from a player that was on the waiver wire in pretty much every league.

Wiggins dropped 41 points against the Kings on February 1 in a game that Shai Gilgeous-Alexander played in. On Friday, with SGA out, Wiggins took on the main scoring role for the Thunder and dropped 30 points in another spot start. The 26-year-old shooting guard has shown he can score from time to time, but generally hasn’t been consistent enough with an 11 points per game average on the season.

LeVert (27 minutes) and Mann (22 minutes) gave the Hawks good minutes off the bench in Thursday’s win over the Pacers, and the former has provided third-round value in nine-cat formats over the past week. Vit Krejci’s potential return would help if LeVert or Mann cannot play in Saturday’s rematch, but he isn’t worth the risk in most leagues. Potential absences would also boost Georges Niang’s fantasy value, as he has recently been a late-round player in 12-team formats.

Niang’s tenure in Atlanta has been inconsistent as he has alternated between scoring in double figures and scoring less than 10 points basically every other game since he made his debut for the Hawks one month ago. However, Thursday’s performance was one of his best. This was his third 20-point game with Atlanta, and he has provided them with much-needed floor spacing off the bench. This was also his fourth game with at least four three-pointers for the Hawks. He has been an incredible addition for them, but that hasn’t resulted in much fantasy production.

Okongwu struggled in Tuesday’s loss to Milwaukee, which made his performance against Indiana encouraging. He has played well overall as of late, as he has recorded a double-double in three of Atlanta’s last four games. This performance was Okongwu’s fourth 20-point double-double since he took over the starting center job in January. Okongwu ranks just outside the top-50 in nine-cat value over the past month, and he has seen his value rise in recent weeks. Moving into the starting lineup has helped Okongwu ascend to fantasy stardom.

This was the 29th time in Young’s career that he finished with at least 20 points and 15 assists. That puts him in a tie with Steve Nash for the 10th-most such games in NBA history. He has a long way to go to catch Oscar Robertson (94), but Young has consistently put on a passing clinic throughout his career. What made Thursday’s performance special was that he only turned the ball over once. This was only the third time in Young’s career that he had at least 15 assists and one or fewer turnovers. He leads the league at 4.7 turnovers per game, so it certainly isn’t something that managers should grow accustomed to.

While Cason Wallace was the choice to fill the void in the starting lineup left by Chet Holmgren, Wiggins was more productive. The fourth-year forward rebounded from his lone single-digit scoring effort since February 1 with a 16-point night against the Grizzlies, shooting 66.7 percent from the field. Rostered in 26 percent of Yahoo! leagues, Wiggins has been a fifth-round player in nine-cat formats since February 1. Wallace, an 11th-round player during that stretch, finished Wednesday’s victory with four points, four rebounds, one assist and one steal in 19 minutes.

With Chet Holmgren out of the lineup, Hartenstein stepped up on both ends of the floor Wednesday night. Over the past week, he’s recorded double-doubles in three of his last four games, providing fourth-round value in eight- and nine-cat formats. Due to Holmgren’s injuries this season, there will likely be more nights when Hartenstein is the lone big in the starting lineup.

As well as MVP favorite Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has played this season, his sidekick’s play should not be overlooked.

Gilgeous-Alexander produced another masterpiece on Wednesday. He’s scored 40 points or more ten times this season, including each of his last two games.

LeVert was having a rough year with Cleveland this season, but the trade to Atlanta has brought him new life. This was the third-straight game that he scored at least 20 points, and he has shot at least 55 percent in each of those games. LeVert has been able to contribute value across the board, which has led to him providing third-round value over the past week in nine-cat leagues. It’s a small sample size, but it’s encouraging to see him playing this well, and his role should be safe for the rest of the season.

When he has started, Gueye has typically played around 15 minutes, but he played a season-high 25 minutes against Milwaukee.

Gueye remains a risky option in standard leagues because of his inconsistent role, but dynasty managers have to be excited about this type of performance.

Young had a rough stretch as a scorer recently as he had scored less than 20 points in Atlanta’s previous four games. He made up for it with plenty of assists, and while he didn’t shoot a much higher percentage on Tuesday, he was able to get back on track as a scorer. Trae has dished out at least 12 dimes in five of the Hawks’ last six games, though they have only won two of those games. Atlanta will wrap up the week by hosting Indiana twice, with the first of those games coming on Thursday.
