Okongwu, who logged 37 minutes in Saturday’s series-opening defeat, is dealing with inflammation in his right knee. With Jock Landale (ankle) likely out for the series, the Hawks can ill afford to lose Okongwu. Mouhamed Gueye would see his minutes increase if Okongwu sits, and Tony Bradley may enter the rotation after being a DNP-CD in Game 1.

Among the most improved players in the NBA this season, Alexander-Walker struggled in his Hawks postseason debut on Saturday. He shot 3-of-9 from two and wasn’t much better from beyond the arc while offering limited value in the other categories of importance. Given how well Alexander-Walker played throughout the season, nights like Saturday have not been the norm. He’ll look to improve his shooting efficiency in Game 2 on Monday.

After scoring 29 points in his final appearance of the regular season, McCollum got his 2026 postseason off to a good start with another efficient effort on Saturday. The veteran guard shot 55 percent from the field overall and 4-of-9 from three-point range. However, McCollum will need to clean up the turnovers, as he was responsible for five. The Hawks will look to even the series at one game apiece when they visit the Knicks again on Monday.

Okongwu, who sat out the Hawks’ regular-season finale with a finger injury, had no issues shooting the basketball in Saturday’s series opener. Shooting 4-of-6 from beyond the arc, all that the Hawks’ center’s stat line lacked was a steal. The question for the Hawks in this series is whether they can get Okongwu more involved offensively, given how effective he was in Game 1. With Jock Landale (ankle) out for at least two more weeks, Double-O will need to be even better than he was on Saturday.

Johnson was one of two Hawks to score at least 20 points in Game 1, but his overall impact was muted. Not counting Atlanta’s April 10 win over the Cavaliers in which he played 25 minutes, the All-Star forward went nearly a month since the last time he recorded three assists in a game. Dyson Daniels (4/9/11/3) was Atlanta’s most effective playmaker on Saturday, and they can’t afford for that to be the case if they’re going to win the series. Johnson will look to be more impactful in Game 2 on Monday.

Landale will miss the first round of the playoffs. The 30-year-old center sustained a high ankle sprain against the Magic on April 1 and has progressed in his rehabilitation, but isn’t ready to return yet. Mo Gueye and Tony Bradley will be the backup center options for the Hawks in their series against the Knicks.

Herro struggled with his shot on Tuesday during his 34 minutes on the floor. Specifically, his inability to finish efficiently inside the three-point line led to the low field-goal percentage. Yet, he sank three triples and produced at the free-throw line to end as one of Miami’s three players with at least 20 points on the night. Herro also turned out a solid outing as a facilitator in the team’s season-ending loss. He battled injuries throughout the season and only logged 33 regular-season games, leaving him with little fantasy basketball value in his seventh NBA season.

Mitchell logged a game-high 48 minutes on Tuesday and did just about everything the Heat could have hoped for. He shot the ball well en route to leading the team in scoring, was one of Miami’s top facilitators, and was the Heat’s only player with at least one block and steal apiece. Unfortunately for Mitchell, his blocked game-winning layup attempt will be the lasting memory of what was a very strong performance. Mitchell played 70 games this season and made a big step as a passer. Yet he wasn’t a reliable option when it came to fantasy basketball.

Wiggins was one of several Heat players to make positive contributions on the offensive end of the floor. His 27 points trailed only Davion Mitchell’s 28, as the veteran forward had production across all three scoring levels. Wiggins was also one of the Heat’s best rebounders on the night during his 42 minutes of game action. He finished the season as a fairly comparable fantasy basketball performer as he was a season ago, albeit on fewer points per game. If Wiggins remains on the Heat going forward, he could be in for a similar season.

Adebayo fell hard on his back during the second quarter of Tuesday’s Play-In Tournament game while trying to save a loose ball. He was subbed out at the ensuing deadball, taken to the locker room, and never returned. He was eventually ruled out for the remainder of the game during the third quarter, leaving Miami without one of its best players. Jaime Jaquez Jr. started in Adebayo’s place to begin the second half and could see more minutes if the team advances, depending on Adebayo’s status.

Larsson is good to go after being listed as questionable on the injury report initially released by the Heat on Monday evening. He’ll figure prominently in the Heat wing rotation, whether he starts or comes off the bench.

Jaquez stayed hot after scoring 23 points in Friday’s win over the Wizards. This was his second straight 20-point game while shooting at least 70 percent from the floor. Jaquez has made a strong case for Sixth Man of the Year, and while he may not win the award, he will continue to be a pivotal piece for Miami as they enter the play-in tournament against the Hornets next week.

Powell was able to end the regular season on a high note after a rough few months for him. He was able to start the season hot, but injuries hit his fantasy value hard. This was his highest-scoring outing since February, and he was one of three Heat players to score at least 25 points in this game. It was encouraging for him to have this type of performance, and he’ll look to carry this production into their play-in tournament matchup with the Hornets next week.

Adebayo wraps up the regular season with his third straight 20-point double-double while also contributing multiple defensive stats in each game. He typically isn’t quite as impactful in fantasy basketball as he is on the court for the Heat, but he has been a fantasy stud over the final couple months. Miami will be the 10th seed in the East, meaning they will travel to Charlotte for the play-in tournament next week. If Adebayo is playing this well, they will certainly have a chance to survive the tournament and make it to the playoffs.

Newell got the starting nod for Atlanta with the typical starters getting a rest night in Game 82. The rookie took advantage of the opportunity and recorded the first double-double of his young career. The Hawks’ first-round pick hasn’t played a significant role for them, but he still has plenty of upside and could take on more minutes in his second season. He likely won’t see the floor much during the playoffs, but he is still worth stashing in dynasty formats.

Hield has only made a few appearances since the Hawks acquired him, mostly during blowouts. However, with the Hawks resting their rotation players, Hield was able to supply plenty of offense off the bench in just 21 minutes. He isn’t going to be part of their rotation during the playoffs, but he is still a capable floor spacer. Unless the Hawks move him this offseason, he’ll likely remain in a limited role again next year.

The Hawks rested their core pieces for this game, which allowed Kispert to return to the starting unit. He provided plenty of offense, mostly from beyond the three-point line. Since they acquired him from the Wizards, Kispert has been a solid floor spacer, but he hasn’t been a large part of the rotation recently. He’ll be a depth option for Atlanta during the postseason, and he is certainly capable of getting hot and swinging a game.

Gueye was initially listed as questionable with right shoulder inflammation, but has been cleared to play against the Heat on Sunday.

For the second time in his career, Daniels was able to record a triple-double, with the other coming back in January. He also recorded at least one steal for a 16th straight game, and in 13 of those, he swiped at least two steals. His shot has been worse this year, and he hasn’t been quite as dominant with the steals, but Daniels is averaging career highs in both rebounds and assists, which has helped him to still be a fantasy stud. He’ll continue to stuff the stat sheet as the Hawks enter the playoffs.

McCollum led Atlanta in scoring, though he did most of his work before the break. 25 of his 29 points came before halftime, which helped the Hawks take a 61-48 lead. They broke the game open in the third, which limited McCollum’s minutes for the rest of the game. This was his third-highest scoring game since he was traded to Atlanta, and it was enough to help them clinch a playoff spot. Now, they’ll need to win the regular season finale against the Heat to clinch the fifth seed in the East. Regardless, McCollum has been a strong addition, and he’ll be a pivotal piece for the Hawks in the postseason.

Jaquez is one of the betting favorites for NBA Sixth Man of the Year, and with good reason. More often than not, the third-year forward provides reliable production off the bench.

The Heat end their regular season with a game against the Hawks on Sunday.

Despite Tyler Herro, Norman Powell and Davion Mitchell being out, Larsson came off the bench on Friday. The change in role did not negatively impact his ability to provide value, with the second-year wing’s 24 points being the most in a game for him since March 12, when he scored 28 against the Bucks. Miami will have something to play for on Sunday, as it can jump Charlotte for ninth with a win over the Hawks and a Hornets loss to the Knicks.

Inserted into the Heat starting lineup with Tyler Herro sidelined, Fontecchio had one of his best offensive showings of the season. The 6-foot-7 forward made six of his seven three-point attempts, scoring a season-high 24 points. If Herro remains out for Sunday’s game against the Hawks, Fontecchio may get another start. At a minimum, he likely got himself back onto Erik Spoelstra’s radar after being a DNP-CD the prior two games.

Adebayo finished Friday’s blowout victory two assists shy of a triple-double, recording a complete line in 38 minutes.

Mitchell has reached double figures in assists on nine occasions this season, with Thursday’s 11 being the most in a game for him since a New Year’s Day win over the Pistons.

While Herro finished Thursday’s defeat with a solid field-goal percentage, the Heat need more production from him than what they received in their two games in Toronto. He totaled 29 points and four three-pointers in the two defeats, which isn’t going to cut it when considering the Heat roster. Herro’s name was one mentioned in the Giannis Antetokounmpo trade rumors in the winter, and it’s fair to wonder if Miami’s front office will intensify its pursuit of the “Greek Freak” this offseason. And with the Heat once again in the Play-In Tournament, significant changes may be needed.

After a poor showing in Tuesday’s loss to the Raptors, Adebayo rebounded nicely on Thursday. After shooting 1-of-7 from deep the last time out, the Heat captain was 2-of-4 on Thursday, choosing to do more of his work around the basket. Adebayo has certainly improved as a perimeter shooter, but there are times when he spends too much time away from the basket, which often bails out the defense. He’ll remain a valuable option for fantasy managers in 2026-27, but the lingering question is whether the Heat will make major roster changes.

After playing seven minutes in Monday’s loss to the Knicks, the first overall pick in the 2024 draft did not play at all on Wednesday.

Logging 30 minutes, Kuminga finished with 24 points (11-of-20 FGs, 0-of-1 FTs), six rebounds, three assists and two three-pointers.

Johnson has been a huge reason for Atlanta’s success this year, but this was a subpar performance for him, even if he was able to extend his double-double streak to five games.

NAW has enjoyed a breakout first season with Atlanta, and he just continues to get better. He has provided third-round value in nine-category leagues this season, but over the past month, he ranks inside the top 10. This was his 10th game scoring at least 30 points this season, which is a mark he has achieved just 15 times in his career. This was also the fourth time in his career that he hit at least seven triples in a game, with all of those coming this season. He has certainly made a strong case to win the Most Improved Player award.
