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.

Having recorded back-to-back 20-point games for the first time since mid-December, Butler could not extend that run to three on Friday. While the rebounds and assists were solid, this is part of the issue for fantasy managers. While capable of doing a lot more, many nights feel as if he hasn’t done much more than what’s required. The fantasy ranking may be good, but one can’t blame managers for lamenting what they’re missing on most nights regarding Butler’s production.

A big part of Melton’s fantasy appeal is his ability to record complete stat lines. That didn’t happen on Friday, but the Warriors’ guard had one of his best offensive performances of the season. The 19 points were three shy of his season-high, which was recorded on Wednesday against the Bucks. Melton has been a safe bet for assists and defensive stats in the past, so there isn’t too much need for concern following Friday’s lack of numbers in those categories. And he played 19 minutes; if Melton can consistently get closer to 25 minutes, he can be a game-changer down the stretch in fantasy leagues.

Curry and the Warriors pulled away with a dominant fourth quarter, outscoring the Kings by a 40-19 margin and winning by a 137-104 final score. And he didn’t make a shot during the final frame, missing both of his attempts and then watching the final four-plus minutes from the bench. Curry did enough before the fourth quarter to offer solid value, and he finished with a season-high 10 assists and his second double-double of the season. Over the past two weeks, Curry has been a top-10 player in eight- and nine-cat formats.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Melton’s season-best performance wasn’t highlighted by any extraordinary takeover moments. The veteran guard never scored more than eight points in any quarter; instead, he picked his spots en route to setting a new season-high. Melton got a late start to the season due to a knee injury that kept him out until December. But since returning, he’s had several good scoring performances to boost this Warriors bench. He’ll have a chance to follow up his Wednesday performance with another strong one on Friday against the Kings.

Butler notched back-to-back 20-point games for the first time since mid-December, making use of the free-throw line to accomplish such. Thirteen of his points came in the second half to help the Warriors maintain their double-digit halftime lead, and Butler didn’t make any other noteworthy contributions in this game from a statistical standpoint. His scoring did the heavy lifting for his fantasy production.

One game after fouling out against the Clippers, Curry went without a foul on Wednesday and logged 34 minutes against the Bucks. On the court, the two-time MVP shot the ball very well from the floor and posted a 13-point third quarter to help ultimately reach the 30-point mark on the evening. Curry also tied a team-high in assists and committed just one turnover in the process. He’ll get a chance to have a great impact again when he faces the Kings on Friday for the first time this season.

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.

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.

Stephen Curry fouled out with less than a minute left, which meant that the game-winning shot responsibility fell to Butler. He came up short, but he still had a productive stat line in the loss.

As long as that doesn’t change, he’ll continue to be an excellent value at his Yahoo! ADP of 50.3.

Unfortunately, Curry’s typical late-game heroics were cut short. Right after he hit back-to-back three-pointers, Curry committed his sixth foul, which sent him to the sidelines to watch the final 43 seconds of the game.

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.
