Young injured his right knee during Wednesday’s win over the Nets, as a teammate fell into the side of his right leg after being pushed by a Nets player. While he did avoid an ACL injury or any significant structural damage, Young did suffer a sprained MCL and will miss at least four weeks. Nickeil Alexander-Walker has replaced him in the starting lineup and should be rostered wherever he’s available. Luke Kennard may get more opportunities to contribute off the bench, but he’s only worth targeting where there’s a need for points and three-pointers.

Young will miss a second straight game since injuring his right knee during Wednesday’s win over the Nets. The Hawks still have not provided an update on the severity of the injury or how much time Young will miss, but he won’t be available on Sunday. The game against the Cavaliers is the last of the Hawks’ current road trip, so the team may be waiting until they return to Atlanta to provide an official timeline. Nickeil Alexander-Walker will replace Young in the starting lineup and is worth adding in standard leagues.

Daniels has gotten off to a rough start, shooting 31.6 percent from the field in his first five games. Friday’s performance was much-needed, as he shot over 50 percent from the field and provided excellent value in rebounds, assists, and steals. With Trae Young (knee) out for a yet-to-be determined amount of time, Daniels will spend more time on the basketball. That may be what that gets him going, as evidenced by his play against the Pacers.

After being limited to 36 games last season, Johnson has played well to begin the 2025-26 campaign. He’s scored 21 points or more in four of his five appearances and recorded his first double-double on Friday. Johnson finished two assists shy of a triple-double, which may become a more achievable milestone for him with Trae Young (knee) unavailable. The good news for fantasy managers is that Johnson and the Hawks have one more game during Week 2, Sunday against the Cavaliers.

The Hawks are without Trae Young (knee) for the foreseeable future, and Alexander-Walker replaced him in the starting lineup on Friday. NAW played well against the Pacers, shooting over 50 percent from the field and finishing a blocked shot shy of a complete stat line. With Young unavailable, Dyson Daniels and Jalen Johnson had the ball in their hands more as playmakers, meaning that Alexander-Walker missed out on a potential boost to his assists. However, the performance was good enough to justify rostering him for as long as Young is out.

Trae Young will not play on Friday after spraining his right knee in Wednesday’s win over the Nets. He’ll be replaced in the starting lineup by Alexander-Walker, who combines with Daniels to form what could be an elite defensive backcourt. NAW should be rostered until the Hawks provide further clarity on Young’s injury and how much time he’s expected to miss.

Williams, who underwent surgery on his right wrist a few weeks after the Thunder won the NBA title, has not appeared in a game this season. While he appeared to be closing in on a return, ESPN’s Marc J. Spears reports the forward was dealing with irritation in his wrist caused by a screw that was inserted to aid recovery. J-Dub remaining out means Ajay Mitchell, Aaron Wiggins and Isaiah Joe will figure prominently in the rotation, with Cason Wallace continuing to start.

Rostered in 32 percent of Yahoo! leagues, Mitchell has been one of the biggest surprises in fantasy basketball thus far. He’s providing fifth-round value in 12-team formats, which is excellent production for a player barely on anyone’s radar during the preseason. The Thunder being without Jalen Williams and Isaiah Joe, with the latter making his season debut on Thursday, opened the door for Mitchell. And he’s made the most of his opportunities.

The Thunder were without Chet Holmgren for a second consecutive game on Thursday. After attempting just three shots in Tuesday’s win over the Kings, Hartenstein was more active on the offensive end of the floor against the Wizards, scoring a season-high 17 points. Despite his low free-throw percentage (54.5), Harteinstein isn’t too far outside the top-100 in nine-cat formats. He remains a must-roster player, especially in leagues that have two-center lineups.

Joe saw his first action of the 2025-26 season on Thursday and wasted no time getting to work. He hit two three-pointers during the first quarter and finished with a stat line that only lacked a blocked shot. While Joe isn’t a must-roster player in standard leagues, his three-point production places him on the radar in deeper formats. The Thunder only play once more during Week 2, but they’ll have four games to play in Week 3.

Gilgeous-Alexander, who led the NBA in scoring last season, has scored 30 points or more in five of Oklahoma City’s first six games. The Wizards didn’t have an answer for the reigning league MVP, as he shot 55 percent from the field and did not commit a turnover. The only negative for fantasy managers is that Oklahoma is off until Sunday, so they’ll only get one more game from SGA in Week 2.

Young was due to undergo an MRI on Thursday after spraining his right knee during Wednesday’s win over the Nets, but those results have not been made public. At a minimum, he will miss Friday’s game against the Pacers, likely resulting in Nickeil Alexander-Walker moving into the starting lineup. NAW is worth adding not only for Friday, but to account for Young potentially missing multiple games. Luke Kennard and Keaton Wallace may also take on expanded roles against Indiana.

Topic had to undergo a testicular procedure in the offseason, and Presti revealed that the procedure was a biopsy to determine if the 20-year-old had cancer. Unfortunately, the results came back that Topic was indeed dealing with testicular cancer.

Obviously, there has been no discussion about his timeline to return to the court, and the main goal is simply to ensure his health and well-being.

Despite moving to the bench to make room in the starting lineup for Kristaps Porziņģis (14/6/7/2/1 with two three-pointers), Okongwu’s production has increased. Through five games, he’s averaging 15.2 points, 9.2 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 0.6 steals, 1.0 blocks and 1.2 three-pointers, exceeding his 2024-25 averages in points, rebounds and three-pointers. Okongwu has been a top-50 player thus far, which is an excellent development for those who have him rostered.

After scoring no more than seven points in any of his first four appearances as a Hawk, Kennard needed a night like Wednesday. His four three-pointers were one more than his total entering Wednesday, and he recorded a complete stat line. Depending on the status of Trae Young, who injured his knee during the second quarter of Wednesday’s victory, Kennard’s role may expand, even if he continues to come off the bench.

Johnson has looked sharp since returning from the ankle injury that sidelined him for one game. In matchups with the Bulls and Nets, he tallied 48 points on 21-of-34 shooting. Johnson has also been effective as a rebounder and assist man, and there may be more opportunities to facilitate moving forward due to Trae Young’s knee injury. Johnson had a Yahoo! ADP of 25, and while he hasn’t produced at that level so far, he isn’t far off.

Hawks head coach Quin Snyder said after Wednesday’s win over the Nets that Young doesn’t have an issue with the ACL in his right knee, but an MRI will determine the severity of his injury. Young was injured during the second quarter when a teammate fell into the outside of his right leg. While he tried to remain in the game, Young eventually headed to the locker room and did not return. Nickeil Alexander-Walker started the third quarter and will likely move into the starting five if Young misses time. In this scenario, he and Luke Kennard are worth a look in deeper leagues.

Alexander-Walker’s role within the Hawks’ rotation took on added importance during Wednesday’s game, as Trae Young (knee) exited during the second quarter and did not return. NAW was impactful on both ends of the floor in Brooklyn, and he’s ranked just outside the top-50 in nine-cat formats through five games. Young will undergo an MRI on Thursday to determine the severity of his injury, and he could be in for an extended absence. Alexander-Walker, who’s rostered in 22 percent of Yahoo! leagues, should be added to fantasy rosters immediately.

Young exited Wednesday’s game during the second quarter when teammate Mouhamed Gueye fell into the point guard’s leg after being pushed by a Nets player who was attempting to cut during an inbounds play. While Young remained in the game, he would exit shortly thereafter and head to the locker room immediately. The Hawks’ initial diagnosis is a sprained right knee, but fantasy managers must watch for any imaging updates later in the week. Nickeil Alexander-Walker will be worth adding if Young misses time, and Keaton Wallace will enter the rotation.

As evidenced by his nonexistent Yahoo! ADP, Mitchell wasn’t on anyone’s fantasy radar during the preseason. Well, through five games, he’s ranked just outside the top-50 in nine-cat formats, providing consistent value off the bench. Mitchell has reached double figures in all five games, scoring at least 14 points in each. He’s rostered in 30 percent of Yahoo! leagues, a sign that many managers have not hesitated to join the bandwagon. And it’s worth holding onto him as long as Jalen Williams (wrist) and Isaiah Joe (knee) remain sidelined.

Wiggins has started two of Oklahoma City’s five games and has been productive in both. He didn’t match the 23 points scored in the Thunder’s October 23 win over the Pacers, but Wiggins did record a complete stat line on Tuesday. Wiggins did his damage offensively in the first three quarters, shooting 7-of-11 from the field. With Chet Holmgren (back) likely returning on Thursday against the Wizards, Wiggins should slide back into his usual reserve role.

Already without Jalen Williams (wrist), the Thunder played Tuesday’s game without Chet Holmgren (back). That put even more responsibility upon the shoulders of the NBA’s reigning Most Valuable Player. To no one’s surprise, Gilgeous-Alexander was up to the task, leading a fourth-quarter rally to help move Oklahoma City to 5-0. SGA shot 4-of-6 from the field in the fourth quarter, and he’s scored 30 points or more in four of five games. Matchups against the Wizards and Pelicans to end Week 2 set up well for Gilgeous-Alexander and those with him on their fantasy rosters.

This one was a low-scoring slugfest as both teams struggled to get anything going offensively. The reigning MVP knocked down just one three-pointer as Oklahoma City shot 20 percent (6-of-30) from distance in an ugly win. Perhaps the most incredible statistical nugget from this one is that Gilgeous-Alexander only went to the line once in the contest.

Mitchell was a difference-maker for Oklahoma City in this one as he came off the bench to knock down seven of his 10 shots from inside the three-point line.

After recording his first double-double of the season in Atlanta’s last game, Young was finally able to have the type of performance that made fantasy managers want to draft him early. The expected inefficient shooting was there, and he only made one of his 10 attempts from beyond the arc. However, he only turned it over only once. His 17 dimes were the most that he has had in a game while turning it over one or fewer times. They’ll head to Brooklyn on Wednesday, which will be a good opportunity for Young to build on this performance.
