Johnson is back after a two-game absence with left shoulder inflammation. His return means that Mouhamed Gueye, who recorded a double-double in Saturday’s win over the Warriors, will head back to the bench, eliminating most of his fantasy value.

Johnson has missed Atlanta’s two games with shoulder inflammation, but he could return to take on Detroit. Mouhamed Gueye has been starting in place of Johnson and would get another opportunity to start if Johnson remains out. Gueye had a double-double as a starter on Saturday but was quiet in Monday’s blowout win over the Grizzlies.

The Mavericks went to overtime for a second straight game, and for the second time in a row, Marshall was one of Dallas’ best scorers. Rebounding and playmaking for others were also key parts of his performance, but unfortunately, so were his season-high eight turnovers. Marshall has been, and will continue to be, one of the Mavericks’ go-to offensive options down the stretch of the season. Fantasy managers shouldn’t expect a drop in production.

The first-year forward put together yet another strong stat line on Monday. Despite the loss, Flagg picked his spots and comfortably converted over 60.0 percent of his shot attempts before crossing the 30-point mark for the eighth time this season. His contributions as a passer were arguably as noteworthy, although he fell an assist short of earning a double-double. Even with a career-high seven turnovers, Flagg seemed comfortable in his minutes. He continues to impress down the stretch of his rookie season.

Gafford left the game late in the fourth quarter and was replaced by Klay Thompson. The veteran center was ultimately ruled out for the remainder of the way during the overtime period, ending the night with 20 points (8-of-8 FGs, 4-of-8 FTs), seven rebounds, five assists, one steal, and one block. If he’s forced to miss any time, Marvin Bagley III could see an increase in minutes and production.

McCollum took on more of a playmaking role in this one with Jalen Johnson (shoulder) sidelined. The 34-year-old shooting guard had 15 points and nine assists in the blowout 146-107 win. McCollum was a team-high +31 in 22 minutes. He would’ve been able to have an even better fantasy game if the game was closer and he played more minutes.

Alexander-Walker has now scored at least 20 points in eight of his last 10 games. The 27-year-old shooting guard had 26 points in 26 minutes as the Hawks crushed the Grizzlies 146-107 on Monday. He could’ve had an even better game had the game been closer and he played more minutes. Alexander-Walker has provided eighth overall per game value over the last two weeks. The Hawks have three more games in Week 22 with a matchup against the Pistons on Wednesday up next.

Martin’s absence has led to some of the Mavericks’ other wings logging heavy minutes in recent games. Cooper Flagg, P.J. Washington and Naji Marshall all played at least 37 minutes in Saturday’s overtime loss to the Clippers. They’re likely to take on heavy workloads against the Warriors.

Williams was initially doubtful for Monday’s game, making it unlikely he would be available. His continued absence likely means more minutes for rookie Ryan Nembhard, even if he comes off the bench.

While Flagg did not have a good night shooting the basketball, going 6-of-14 from inside the arc, his production in other categories was excellent. He matched his season-high with the four blocks and also provided good value in rebounds and assists. Over the past two weeks, Flagg has provided fourth-round value in eight-cat formats. Dallas’ three-game Week 22 does not include a back-to-back, which should ensure Flagg’s availability as long as he’s healthy.

Washington has scored at least 20 points in three of his last four appearances, and he put up solid percentages in Saturday’s overtime defeat. However, like teammate Naji Marshall, his value in category leagues is somewhat limited due to the production outside of points and rebounds. Washington has provided seventh-round value over the past two weeks, which may be his ceiling as far as fantasy basketball is concerned.

Marshall has scored at least 25 points in three of his last four games, and he got up 23 shots on Saturday. That kind of volume can help compensate for the limited defensive production, as was the case against the Clippers. Even with the increased scoring, Marshall’s category league value remains low. That said, managers in points leagues should be more willing to roll the dice on him, even with the Mavericks limited to three games in Week 22.

With Jalen Johnson (shoulder) sidelined, Gueye was moved into the starting lineup on Saturday. And he took advantage of the opportunity, not missing a shot while recording a double-double and blocking three shots. Jonathan Kuminga (2/4/2/1) struggled in a reserve role, shooting 1-of-9 from the field. Gueye’s performance may be enough to keep him in the starting lineup if Johnson is not back for Monday’s game against the Grizzlies.

Since the All-Star break, McCollum has provided ninth-round value in eight-cat formats. His production has been good enough to merit rostering in 12-team formats, and there’s a chance CJ becomes more valuable in 10-team formats during Week 21. The Hawks play four games, and an extended absence for Jalen Johnson (shoulder) would change the equation for McCollum and the other healthy starters.

With no Jalen Johnson in the lineup, the Hawks needed more production from their available players, and Daniels delivered. One night removed from scoring three points in a loss to the Rockets, he put up a season-high tally against the Warriors. Add in the rebounds, assists and steals, and this was an excellent end to Week 21 for Daniels and the Hawks. Atlanta plays four games in Week 22, starting with Memphis on Monday.

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.

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.

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.

Gafford was available on Wednesday after a three-game absence, but he did not return to the starting lineup. The Mavericks’ center was used in a reserve role, and he put up a season-high 24 points. Gafford has scored at least 20 points in three of his last four games, and he’s provided eighth-round value in eight-cat formats since the All-Star break. Gafford’s availability issues are why he’s rostered in just 23 percent of Yahoo! leagues, but he’s capable of having excellent nights like Wednesday.

At first glance, Flagg put up a solid stat line in Wednesday’s defeat. However, he was pestered by Dyson Daniels throughout the night, which negatively affected the rookie’s efficiency. In addition to shooting 40 percent from the field, Flagg was responsible for a season-high six turnovers. Nights like Wednesday have been few and far between for Flagg, and there aren’t many defenders in the NBA as good as Daniels. He’ll look to bounce back on Saturday against the Clippers.

Washington has reached double figures in each of his last four games, with the 23 points being the most he’s scored in nearly a month. Rostered in 40 percent of Yahoo! leagues, the veteran forward has been an 11th-round player in eight-cat formats since the All-Star break. That isn’t great fantasy value, but it’s good enough to keep Washington on the radar in 12-team leagues.

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, he has provided first-round value in eight-cat formats.

He reached the 30-point mark for the sixth time this season and also came up just a couple of rebounds and a few assists shy of a triple-double. Marshall has taken a big step on the offensive end this season in what’s been a career-best year for him.

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.

Triple-doubles have eluded Johnson this month, but this was another near miss for him. Still, he was able to stuff the stat sheet once again in another win for Atlanta. They currently own the longest winning streak in the NBA at eight games, though it’s worth noting they’ve only played on away game during this streak. Still, Johnson has been fantastic, and he’ll look to stay hot against the Bucks on Saturday to wrap up the week.
