Murray is back after missing Portland’s last two games. With Deni Avdija (back) also available, Murray will come off the bench, eliminating what little fantasy value he possessed when starting in place of the All-Star playmaker.

McCollum has reached double figures in four straight and ten of his last 11 appearances, having moved into the Hawks’ starting lineup six games ago. As a starter, the veteran guard has averaged 17.2 points, 3.8 rebounds, 4.8 assists and 1.7 three-pointers in just over 28 minutes per game. The issue for McCollum has been field-goal percentage, as he’s made just 41.3 percent of his attempts over the last six games. The Hawks open a three-game Week 20 on Tuesday against the Mavericks.

After scoring 23 points in Wednesday’s rout of the Bucks, Alexander-Walker dropped an efficient 24 on the 76ers. Since the All-Star break, he has been a top-50 player in eight-cat formats, which aligns with his season-long production. Alexander-Walker has been one of the big surprises in fantasy basketball this season, with his value far exceeding his Yahoo! ADP (117).

Johnson was the best player on the floor on Saturday, finishing three assists shy of a triple-double. The Hawks forward entered the game having totaled 33 points in his prior three appearances, shooting 12-of-30 from the field. For fantasy managers whose playoffs began with Week 19, this has not been a good time to have Johnson rostered, even with Saturday’s robust stat line. After a two-game Week 19, the Hawks play three games in Week 20.

Clingan bounced back with a solid effort after he was ejected after playing only 12 minutes in Wednesday’s win over the Grizzlies. The 22-year-old center had 18 points and 13 rebounds, giving him four double-doubles in his last six games. Clingan has provided top-40 per game value over the last two weeks. The Trail Blazers close out Week 19 against the Pacers on Sunday.

Holiday has now scored at least 20 points in five of his last six games. The 35-year-old point guard also has back-to-back double-doubles with 10 and 11 assists in his last two games.

McCollum has started Atlanta’s last five games, with the team’s win over the Wizards on February 24 being the only one in which he legitimately struggled. Since the lineup change, CJ has been a top-100 player in eight-cat formats. Meanwhile, Zaccharie Risacher (12 points, four rebounds, two steals and four three-pointers) sits outside the top-200 since moving to the bench. McCollum should remain in the starting lineup for the rest of the season.

While the overall stat line was a bit lean, Alexander-Walker’s 23 points were the most in a game for him since hitting that number in a February 9 loss to the Timberwolves. Rostered in 59 percent of Yahoo! leagues, NAW’s season-long fantasy value has remained high. Fantasy managers in 10-team leagues should make sure Alexander-Walker isn’t sitting on the waiver wire, as he can be a difference-maker during the playoff weeks.

While he didn’t record one of his usual robust stat lines, Johnson finished Wednesday’s victory one assist shy of a double-double and one block shy of a complete line. And after tallying eight points in his return to action on Sunday after missing time with a hip injury, Wednesday’s effort was suitable. Johnson will look to end Week 19 on a high note when the Hawks host the 76ers on Saturday.

For the first time since mid-January, Okongwu has scored 20 points or more in consecutive games. He recorded a complete stat line in Milwaukee, with the lone issue being a 0-of-2 night from the foul line. Okongwu has provided third-round value in eight-cat formats since the All-Star break, which aligns with his season-long value. The Hawks play one more game in Week 19, as they host the 76ers on Saturday.

With Deni Avdija and Kris Murray sidelined, Henderson made his second start of the season on Wednesday. Unfortunately, the third-year guard struggled offensively, shooting 1-of-6 from beyond the arc. The good news for fantasy managers is that he kept the turnovers in check, committing two. Fantasy managers in dynasty leagues will be watching Henderson closely over the final month of the regular season, especially with Damian Lillard’s return in the cards for 2026-27.

Due to Donovan Clingan’s second-quarter ejection, Williams’ role took on added importance in Memphis. And the Time Lord was up to the task, scoring a season-high 20 points and recording his fourth double-double of the season. Williams has played 20 minutes or more in just five games this season, making him a challenging player to trust in most fantasy leagues.

Limited to four points on 1-of-9 shooting in Sunday’s loss to the Hawks, Grant rebounded in a big way on Wednesday. Shooting well over 50 percent from the field, he recorded his fourth 30-point game of the season and first since December 14. Fantasy managers also received solid value in the rebound and assist categories, which don’t always happen for Grant.

Holiday and Jerami Grant put on a show in Memphis, combining for 65 points on 24-of-38 shooting from the field. The former finished with a season-high point total while also reaching double figures in assists for the fifth time. Since the All-Star break, Holiday has been close to a top-25 player in eight-cat formats, according to Basketball Monster. The Trail Blazers play twice more in Week 19, starting with the Rockets on Friday.

Clingan received his marching orders after having elbowed Grizzlies forward Olivier-Maxence Prosper in the jaw while attempting to shield the basketball. Officials deemed the play severe enough to warrant a Flagrant 2 foul, resulting in Clingan’s ejection. Robert Williams III will have added importance for the remainder of Wednesday’s game. Clingan finished with seven points, nine rebounds, one assist, one steal and three blocked shots.

For the first time since being traded from Atlanta to Portland, Krejčí was back in town playing against his former team. The 29 minutes were the most he’s played in a game since the trade, with Kris Murray’s first-half exit due to an illness being a factor. Krejčí, who shot 2-of-3 from beyond the arc, was inserted into the lineup to begin the third quarter. With Portland off until Wednesday, that may be enough time for Murray and, more importantly, Deni Avdija (back) to return to full strength. If so, Krejčí will likely continue to come off the bench.

Clingan didn’t record any defensive stats on Sunday, an unsurprising development given the Hawks’ 135 points and 55 percent shooting from the field. But he did record his 24th double-double of the season, three times his total from the 2024-25 campaign. Also, Clingan recorded five assists on Sunday, the fifth time this season that he’s met or exceeded that number.

While Portland did give up 135 points on Sunday, its offense was just as much of an issue. As a team, the Trail Blazers shot 40 percent from the field, with four of the five starters shooting below 50 percent from the field. Holiday was the exception, and he’s scored at least 23 points in back-to-back games for the third time this season. As long as the Blazers remain without Deni Avdija (back), Holiday will have added fantasy value. Portland plays three games in Week 19, starting with Memphis on Wednesday.

While he’s only played three games in his new home, Kuminga has looked incredibly comfortable with the Hawks. He’s scored at least 17 points in all three appearances, including 20 or more in both games that he came off the bench. Kuminga scored 11 of his 20 on Sunday in the fourth quarter, helping the Hawks win the frame by a 32-16 margin. He’s rostered in 43 percent of Yahoo! leagues, with the issue in the short term being that Atlanta plays just two games in Week 19.

While McCollum has averaged 17.0 points per game since moving into the Hawks’ starting lineup, he has not shot the ball well. The veteran guard is making just 39.3 percent of his attempts since the lineup change, a big reason why he has only been an 11th-round player over the past week, according to Basketball Monster. That isn’t terrible value, but fantasy managers were likely hoping for more when McCollum was moved into the starting lineup.

Portland’s approach to defending Okongwu backfired spectacularly on Sunday. While he wasn’t given complete free rein to fire away from beyond the arc, the Trail Blazers could have done more to make life difficult for the 6-foot-10 center. Okongwu made seven of his 12 attempts, one shy of his season-high. The Hawks center finished with a robust overall stat line, a great way to end Week 18. Unfortunately, Atlanta’s Week 19 schedule is bad, as they only play two games.

It has been over a month since Kuminga last suited up, and when he did, it was for the Warriors. In his first game with Atlanta, it appears Golden State gave up on him too quickly. Sure, it’s only one game, but he was incredible in his debut. Plus, Jalen Johnson (hip) exited in the first quarter. Kuminga didn’t start the second half, but he should take on extended minutes if Johnson ends up remaining sidelined more than just the end of this game.
