Risacher suffered a quad contusion during Monday’s loss to the Timberwolves, which limited him to 21 minutes. Corey Kispert played 30 minutes off the bench, and could figure more prominently in the rotation if Risacher can’t play on Wednesday. Kispert would only be worth a look for managers needing three-point production.

Johnson did not play in Monday’s loss to the Timberwolves, with rookie Asa Newell replacing him in the starting lineup. Newell played 25 minutes, finishing with four points and four rebounds. If Johnson remains out, there would not be much to gain from streaming Newell in redraft leagues.

Daniels did not play in Monday’s loss to the Timberwolves, which led to CJ McCollum moving into the starting lineup and scoring 38 points. McCollum is already rostered in most 12-team formats; he would be a worthwhile streamer in 10-team leagues if Daniels remains out.

In his return to Minnesota, NAW was able to have a productive night, though it wasn’t enough to keep this game close. He led the team in rebounds and assists, though he also led Atlanta in turnovers. This was a new season high for rebounds for NAW in what has been an incredible first season as a Hawk. They’ll head to Charlotte for their final game before the All-Star break on Wednesday, and NAW will look to stay hot.

With Jalen Johnson (knee) and Dyson Daniels (ankle) both sidelined, McCollum entered the starting unit and took on more responsibility on the offensive end. He got off to a blazing hot start, scoring 18 points in the first quarter. He was able to keep that going over the final three quarters, though it wasn’t enough to keep Atlanta close. If the Hawks remain shorthanded against the Hornets on Wednesday, McCollum could be in for another big night.

This was the second time in his last three games that Wiggins scored exactly 26 points, a number he has only surpassed on two other occasions this season. Wiggins has been solid this season, and his production as of late, poor free throw shooting aside, has been excellent. He was the leading scorer for Miami in this game, though it wasn’t enough to get the win. He’ll look to stay hot in New Orleans on Wednesday.

For the second straight game, Jakučionis finished with at least 20 points and exactly six three-pointers. Those are the only two such games of his career. The rookie got off to a hot start, scoring 17 points in the first half. Unfortunately, he cooled down after the break and wasn’t able to expand on his early success. Still, it was great to see Miami’s first-round pick have a productive outing for the second time in 24 hours.

Adebayo didn’t have an efficient night shooting the ball, but he was able to record a 20-point double-double for the seventh time in 2026. His five-game streak with at least one steal came to a close, and this was also his eighth straight game without a block. Despite being one of the best defenders in the league, Adebayo hasn’t contributed as much on that end for fantasy managers this season. Miami’s final game before the All-Star break will be in New Orleans on Wednesday.

The Hawks will be without two starters for Monday’s game, with Daniels and All-Star Jalen Johnson sitting due to injury. In the case of the former, his absences free up additional minutes for Corey Kispert and CJ McCollum. The former has started five games since being traded to the Hawks, while the latter has only started one. This may also be a spot where Buddy Hield or Gabe Vincent makes their Hawks debut after both received DNP-CDs in Saturday’s loss to the Hornets.

Daniels is dealing with some inflammation in his right ankle. If he’s unable to play on Monday, that would be a significant issue for the Hawks, as Daniels would likely be assigned to guard Anthony Edwards. Corey Kispert and CJ McCollum would take on added responsibilities on offense, but neither defends at Daniels’ level. There would also be room in the rotation for Buddy Hield or Gabe Vincent, but neither would be worth the streaming risk.

Jakučionis had the best game of his rookie season on Sunday, recording new highs in points and three-pointers. The 6-foot-6 guard shot 6-of-6 from beyond the arc and made 80 percent of his attempts from the field. Jakučionis’ fantasy value moving forward depends on the availability of Davion Mitchell (5/2/3/1 and one three-pointer in 25 minutes), as his opportunities tend to be limited when “Off Night” is available. With Sunday’s game being a blowout, Jakučionis got to play more during the fourth quarter.

Miami rolled on Sunday, and that factored into Ware getting more playing time than he has recently. However, that should not be used to overlook his performance, which was the other reason why the second-year center logged 30 minutes. The double-double was Ware’s first in over a month, and this is the production level the Heat expects from him consistently. He’ll look to start Week 17 on a high note when the Heat host the Jazz on Monday.

With the Heat rolling to a 132-101 victory, Adebayo only needed to play 28 minutes on Sunday. After going on a run of eight consecutive games with at least 20 points, he entered Sunday having totaled 32 on 9-of-29 shooting in the last two. When you need to get right, it never hurts to run into one of the worst teams in the NBA. Adebayo and the Heat play four games in Week 17, starting with the Jazz on Monday.

Powell was ruled out at the end of the third quarter due to tightness in his lower back.

Available to make his Hawks debut, Hield did not play as Quin Snyder stuck to a nine-man rotation.

There’s no need to roster him in fantasy leagues.

Wearing a facemask reminiscent of the one worn by Hannibal Lecter, Okongwu returned to the Hawks’ lineup after a four-game absence. The fact that he shot over 50 percent from the field was a positive, as was his ability to play 30 minutes. Jock Landale (five points, one assist and one three-pointer), who shone in his Hawks debut, played 17 minutes off the bench. Unfortunately, fantasy managers will be best served to move on from him with Okongwu back in the fold.

There’s never a good time to suffer an injury, but Risacher’s knee injury came on the heels of him shooting 7-of-9 from three in a January 7 win over the Pelicans. In his first three games back, the Hawks forward shot 2-of-10 from deep, so Saturday’s 4-of-4 effort was a welcome sign. For the season, Risacher is shooting 35 percent from three, making it easy to dismiss Saturday as a departure from the norm. He was also responsible for three blocks in the defeat, another statistical anomaly for the second-year wing.

Johnson, who’s headed to the All-Star Game for the first time next week, recorded another stellar stat line on Saturday.
