Porziņģis did not play in Friday’s win over the Nuggets, which led to more rotation minutes for Mouhamed Gueye and Asa Newell. Neither will be worth the streaming risk if Porziņģis remains out since starter Onyeka Okongwu is healthy.

Risacher will miss a second consecutive game with left knee inflammation. Vit Krejčí started Friday’s win over the Nuggets, recording two steals and two blocked shots. Unfortunately, he had a brutal night shooting the basketball, going scoreless on 0-of-8 shooting (0-of-7 3-pointers).

If Kispert can crack the rotation in Atlanta, he’s another capable shooter who can knock down a few three-pointers off the bench. However, his role is unlikely to differ from the one he had in Washington, so fantasy managers can afford to leave Kispert on the waiver wire.

While McCollum is likely to come off the bench in Atlanta, he can provide reliable scoring in that role as the team looks to compensate for Trae Young’s exit. Also, with Zaccharie Risacher unavailable, there may be a few more minutes at McCollum’s disposal.

Johnson’s meteoric rise continues as he steps into an expanded role for the Hawks from a facilitating and scoring standpoint with Trae Young no longer in the picture following his trade to Washington earlier this week. The 24-year-old snapped out of a brief cold spell in this one, finishing just shy of his eighth 30-point outing of the season while drilling a season-high five three-pointers and shooting a blistering 67 percent from the floor. He’ll be the straw that stirs the drink for Atlanta until further notice.

The avalanche of injuries to key contributors in Denver has created an opportunity for Watson to put together a mini-breakout, scoring 20-plus points in six consecutive games since December 31. The 23-year-old forward recorded his second double-double of the season with Jamal Murray (ankle, illness) sitting out. He’s experienced a noticeable uptick in creation possessions and increased scoring duties over the last two weeks, averaging 21.6 points, 5.9 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 1.4 steals and 0.9 blocks over eight games during that span.

Alexander-Walker has been a home run signing for the Hawks, delivering the strongest season of his career, averaging a robust 20.5 points, 3.6 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 1.1 steals and 0.6 blocks through 38 games. He’s averaging just over three three-pointers per-game after sitting at just 1.7 last year. The 27-year-old guard figures to play a larger role in Atlanta’s offense with Trae Young no longer in the picture.

Gordon hasn’t skipped a beat in three games since returning from a lengthy absence recovering from a hamstring injury, averaging 15.3 points, 7.0 assists, 3.0 assists over 23 minutes during that span. The Nuggets are going to keep a governor on his workload for the immediate future but he’ll continue providing his usual blend of points and rebounds for fantasy purposes.

stepped into an expanded role for the Hawks in their first game since shipping Trae Young to Washington earlier this week, launching 14 shot attempts — his highest single-game total since December 19. The 22-year-old defensive specialist has quietly filled the stat sheet of late, averaging 15.3 points, 7.5 rebounds, 8.3 assists, 2.3 steals and 0.8 blocks over his last four contests.

The Nuggets won’t have Jamal Murray or Spencer Jones for Friday’s game, opening two spots in the starting lineup. Pickett and Tyson will fill the voids, with the latter’s inclusion an indication that Aaron Gordon remains under a strict minutes restriction.

Like Jamal Murray (ankle, illness), Jones’ status was downgraded on two separate occasions ahead of Friday’s game. His absence may result in Bruce Brown starting, but Aaron Gordon is another possibility. However, Gordon’s minutes restriction would likely need to be relaxed for that to happen.

Initially questionable for Friday’s game, Murray’s status has been downgraded twice since and he will not be available.

Porzingis popped up on the injury report Friday afternoon and was subsequently ruled out with an Achilles injury. The 30-year-old power forward hasn’t exactly been the pinnacle of health in recent years so there’s reason for legitimate concern surrounding the injury. With Porzingis out Friday, Mouhamed Gueye will fill in as the backup center. There’s no timetable for Porzingis’ return at this point.

Added to the injury report earlier Friday, Risacher is now officially out for the first game of Atlanta’s road trip. Vit Krejčí was the choice to fill the void the last time Risacher missed a game, and he may receive the nod on Friday. If so, Krejčí is worth streaming in deep leagues.

Absent from the initial injury report released by the Hawks, Risacher is now questionable due to left knee inflammation. He last missed a game on November 18, with Vit Krejčí filling the void.

Uh oh. Randomly popping up with an Achilles injury is not a good sign, especially for a player with the injury history that Porziņģis has. Mouhamed Gueye should fill out the backup center minutes if Porziņģis is out. This is a situation worth keeping tabs on since it could end up being more severe.

It has been a disappointing second season for Risacher, but after figuring out some offense against Toronto on Monday, he was able to set a new season high for scoring in Wednesday’s win. It’s no coincidence that he also played a season-high 34 minutes. Hawks coach Quin Snyder hasn’t played the 2024 No. 1 overall pick as much as his other starters, but if he continues to play this well, he should continue to get the chance, which will lead to more production. At this point, he is only worth rostering in dynasty leagues.

With Onyeka Okongwu sidelined with an illness, Gueye got the starting nod at center. Kristaps Porziņģis is still on a minutes restriction, which resulted in Gueye getting the opportunity, and he took full advantage with a well-rounded stat line despite some inefficiencies. Atlanta plays in Denver on Friday, and if Okongwu remains out, Gueye will be worth streaming. However, if Okongwu is back, Gueye can be returned to the waiver wire.

Playing against his former team, Daniels was able to put together a stellar, well-rounded line in the win. He’s had some excellent performances recently, and he continues to be at his best when Trae Young isn’t in the lineup. Of course, that won’t be an issue moving forward with Young now in Washington. Daniels should continue to be a strong producer for fantasy managers, even if the steals aren’t where they were last season.

Nikola Jokić’s left knee injury did not result in Nnaji moving into the starting lineup, but it has freed up additional opportunities for the former first-round pick. Over the past week, the 6-foot-9 forward/center has averaged 12.5 points, 4.5 rebounds, 1.5 steals, 1.5 blocks and 1.5 three-pointers in 24.6 minutes per game. That production has been good for top-100 value in eight-cat formats. DaRon Holmes II (six points, two rebounds, one assist, two blocks and two three-pointers) may be the starter right now, but Nnaji offers the higher streaming ceiling.

Watson finished Wednesday’s victory with his second career 30-point game, finishing two shy of his career-high. The Nuggets’ forward, who initially moved into the starting lineup when Christian Braun went down with a sprained ankle, has been close to a top-100 player in eight-cat formats over the past month. Even with Braun back in the starting lineup and Aaron Gordon available off the bench, they’re under minutes restrictions, which protects Watson’s fantasy value.

Back in the Nuggets’ lineup after sitting out Monday’s win over the 76ers, Murray made up for lost time with one of his best all-around lines of the season. The Nuggets’ point guard racked up a career-high 17 assists, finishing two rebounds shy of a triple-double. Murray’s final line was Nikola Jokić-like, and the Nuggets need that level of production from him with the three-time MVP still recovering from a left knee injury. Over the past week, Murray has offered top-15 value in eight- and nine-cat formats, according to Basketball Monster.

McCollum is on an expiring contract, and while the Hawks may have interest in keeping him around past this season, his main function in this deal was to help the salaries match up. McCollum’s time with the Wizards lasted 35 games, and he was able to show he’s still a talented scorer. He’ll be a reliable veteran for Atlanta, likely as a reserve. He won’t be as impactful for fantasy managers as he was as a Wizard, but he should be able to help offset some of the offense that the Hawks lose by moving on from Trae.

Surprisingly, no draft capital was included in the deal that ends Young’s time in Atlanta. Kispert is one of the two players headed in the opposite direction, and his addition gives the Hawks another perimeter shooter to place around Jalen Johnson if he can crack the rotation. For his career, he’s averaging 2.0 three-pointers per game on 38.3 percent shooting from beyond the arc. At best, Kispert will be a specialist who may offer deep-league value. However, this is not a deal that moves the needle for him, fantasy-wise.

Watson has been a scoring machine for the shorthanded Nuggets. Since Nikola Jokić injured his knee, Watson has averaged 23 points per game. He has been average in other categories, but he has been on an offensive tear. He coughed the ball up a career-worst six times in this game, but the rest of his performance was strong and helped Denver steal a win on the road. Watson will remain a must-roster player until Aaron Gordon (hamstring) returns, and he should still hold value beyond that.

Nnaji hasn’t filled the starting center spot with both Nikola Jokić (knee) and Jonas Valančiūnas (calf) sidelined, but he has been solid as the backup to DaRon Holmes II. However, in this game, he was more than just a solid reserve. Nnaji matched his career high for points, nearly recorded a double-double and contributed four “stocks” in 32 minutes off the bench. Whether he moves into the starting lineup or continues to come off the bench, Nnaji is the better option than Holmes as a fill-in.

With Jamal Murray (ankle) sidelined for the second night of Denver’s back-to-back, Pickett entered the starting unit in his place. It was his fourth start of the season, including his third in their last four games. The result was a new career high for points for the 2023 second-round pick. Murray should be back for their next game on Wednesday in Boston, so Pickett likely won’t be able to provide an encore. However, he may have earned himself more minutes, and he will have more streaming appeal during his next start.

Risacher’s second season in the NBA has been rough, especially in recent weeks. However, prior to fouling out, this was actually a solid performance for him. He had an efficient shooting night and was able to provide four assists after totaling two assists over his last six games. Risacher is not worthy of a roster spot in standard leagues, but there is still upside for the 2024 No. 1 overall pick for dynasty managers.

Okongwu had one of his worst game of the season in Toronto on Saturday, but he was able to respond with a much better performance, though the result of the game was the same. As an undersized center, Okongwu hasn’t been a great rebounder this year, so this was only his ninth double-double of the season. This was a strong performance for him, and it has helped that he has remained the starter despite Kristaps Porziņģis being back in the lineup. As long as that continues, Okongwu will be an elite fantasy producer.

He’ll look to get back on track against the Pelicans on Wednesday.

It’s become abundantly clear that Atlanta’s offense will continue to run through Johnson even with Trae Young back in the mix.
