Trae Young will not play on Friday after spraining his right knee in Wednesday’s win over the Nets. He’ll be replaced in the starting lineup by Alexander-Walker, who combines with Daniels to form what could be an elite defensive backcourt. NAW should be rostered until the Hawks provide further clarity on Young’s injury and how much time he’s expected to miss.

Suggs sat out Thursday on the second leg of a back-to-back set, but he’ll be back in action after that one-game absence. Anthony Black went off for 20 points in Thursday’s spot start, but he’ll likely cede his spot with the first unit back to Suggs on Saturday.

Da Silva has reached double figures in four of Orlando’s first six games, with Thursday’s output being his best. The second-year wing is in a challenging spot to provide consistent fantasy value, as he backs up Franz Wagner, but he can be helpful in certain matchups. Da Silva played well against the Hornets, and Saturday’s game against the Wizards could be another spot where he offers sneaky deep-league value.

While Carter has grabbed at least eight rebounds in five of his six games played, the offensive production has been limited. Having scored between eight and 10 points in Orlando’s first five games, WCJ had his best night of the season against the Hornets. He established season-highs in points and three-pointers while shooting 66.7 percent from the field. However, while this was a solid effort, Carter’s production before Thursday suggests that this won’t become the norm. Especially with Paolo Banchero, Franz Wagner and Desmond Bane ahead of him in the pecking order. Carter remains a deep-league option only.

The Magic were without starting point guard Jalen Suggs on Thursday, as the game was the team’s second in as many nights. While Tyus Jones (five points, one steal and one three-pointer in 14 minutes) started the first game that Suggs missed, Black was tabbed to fill the void on Thursday, taking on the task of defending LaMelo Ball. While solid defensively, the third-year guard had his best offensive night of the season, scoring 20 points and shooting 3-of-6 from beyond the arc. Franz Wagner and Paolo Banchero handled most of the playmaking for the starters, but this did not negatively impact Black’s production. Suggs should be back for Saturday’s game against the Wizards, but the Magic had to be encouraged by what they saw from Black.

Wagner, who entered Thursday’s game with a left heel contusion, played 34 minutes without any issues. While he hasn’t reached his Yahoo! ADP of 36 just yet, the Magic forward is providing top-75 value in nine-cat formats. Wagner and the Magic play once more during Week 2, as they visit the Wizards on Saturday.

Banchero and the Magic ended their four-game losing streak on Thursday, with the star forward finishing one rebound and one assist shy of a triple-double. The lone negative for him was the foul shooting, with Paolo making just two of his six attempts on the night. Free-throw percentage and turnovers have lowered Banchero’s value in nine-cat formats, but fantasy managers shouldn’t be too concerned with the season being just over one week old.

The Magic are without Jalen Suggs for Thursday’s game, as it’s the team’s second in as many nights. He’ll be replaced in the lineup by Black, who’s worth streaming in deep leagues. Tyus Jones is also worth a look, especially for managers needing assists with a low turnover tally.

Young was due to undergo an MRI on Thursday after spraining his right knee during Wednesday’s win over the Nets, but those results have not been made public. At a minimum, he will miss Friday’s game against the Pacers, likely resulting in Nickeil Alexander-Walker moving into the starting lineup. NAW is worth adding not only for Friday, but to account for Young potentially missing multiple games. Luke Kennard and Keaton Wallace may also take on expanded roles against Indiana.

Wagner, who logged 31 minutes in Wednesday’s loss to the Pistons, is dealing with a left heel contusion. He’s yet to miss a game this season, and his absence would significantly impact the Magic rotation.

Thursday’s game is the second in as many nights for the Magic, who lost to the Pistons on Wednesday. Suggs still has not reached the point where he’ll play both games of back-to-backs, and fantasy managers should continue to account for this moving forward. The fantasy values of Tyus Jones and Anthony Black will increase with Suggs unavailable, with the former being a slightly safer streaming option.

Despite moving to the bench to make room in the starting lineup for Kristaps Porziņģis (14/6/7/2/1 with two three-pointers), Okongwu’s production has increased. Through five games, he’s averaging 15.2 points, 9.2 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 0.6 steals, 1.0 blocks and 1.2 three-pointers, exceeding his 2024-25 averages in points, rebounds and three-pointers. Okongwu has been a top-50 player thus far, which is an excellent development for those who have him rostered.

After scoring no more than seven points in any of his first four appearances as a Hawk, Kennard needed a night like Wednesday. His four three-pointers were one more than his total entering Wednesday, and he recorded a complete stat line. Depending on the status of Trae Young, who injured his knee during the second quarter of Wednesday’s victory, Kennard’s role may expand, even if he continues to come off the bench.

Johnson has looked sharp since returning from the ankle injury that sidelined him for one game. In matchups with the Bulls and Nets, he tallied 48 points on 21-of-34 shooting. Johnson has also been effective as a rebounder and assist man, and there may be more opportunities to facilitate moving forward due to Trae Young’s knee injury. Johnson had a Yahoo! ADP of 25, and while he hasn’t produced at that level so far, he isn’t far off.

Hawks head coach Quin Snyder said after Wednesday’s win over the Nets that Young doesn’t have an issue with the ACL in his right knee, but an MRI will determine the severity of his injury. Young was injured during the second quarter when a teammate fell into the outside of his right leg. While he tried to remain in the game, Young eventually headed to the locker room and did not return. Nickeil Alexander-Walker started the third quarter and will likely move into the starting five if Young misses time. In this scenario, he and Luke Kennard are worth a look in deeper leagues.

Alexander-Walker’s role within the Hawks’ rotation took on added importance during Wednesday’s game, as Trae Young (knee) exited during the second quarter and did not return. NAW was impactful on both ends of the floor in Brooklyn, and he’s ranked just outside the top-50 in nine-cat formats through five games. Young will undergo an MRI on Thursday to determine the severity of his injury, and he could be in for an extended absence. Alexander-Walker, who’s rostered in 22 percent of Yahoo! leagues, should be added to fantasy rosters immediately.

Banchero was just three assists shy of a triple-double against the Pistons on Wednesday. The 22-year-old power forward missed seven free throw attempts and all three of his three-point attempts.

Young exited Wednesday’s game during the second quarter when teammate Mouhamed Gueye fell into the point guard’s leg after being pushed by a Nets player who was attempting to cut during an inbounds play. While Young remained in the game, he would exit shortly thereafter and head to the locker room immediately. The Hawks’ initial diagnosis is a sprained right knee, but fantasy managers must watch for any imaging updates later in the week. Nickeil Alexander-Walker will be worth adding if Young misses time, and Keaton Wallace will enter the rotation.

After recording his first double-double of the season in Atlanta’s last game, Young was finally able to have the type of performance that made fantasy managers want to draft him early. The expected inefficient shooting was there, and he only made one of his 10 attempts from beyond the arc. However, he only turned it over only once. His 17 dimes were the most that he has had in a game while turning it over one or fewer times. They’ll head to Brooklyn on Wednesday, which will be a good opportunity for Young to build on this performance.

Johnson missed Atlanta’s previous game with an ankle injury and was questionable entering this one. However, it didn’t seem to be giving him any trouble as he had his highest-scoring performance of the season. Johnson was drafted in the third-round of Yahoo! leagues, and this type of performance is what managers were expecting. Next up on the schedule is a trip to Brooklyn, which should be a favorable matchup for Johnson to stay hot.

The Bulls didn’t have any answers for Porzingis in this game. He had his highest-scoring performance as a Hawk, but he wasn’t alone in dominating at the center spot. Onyeka Okongwu finished with 18 points (8-of-11 FGs), 10 rebounds, two assists, one steal, one block and two three-pointers as well. Porzingis had missed their last two games with an illness, but he seemed healthy in this one. Though they didn’t get the win, Porzingis has been able to get great looks playing alongside Trae Young, which should lead to more performances like this one.

Banchero did his best to help Orlando mount a second-half comeback effort, but they were unable to come all the way back, slashing the deficit to two points with just over six minutes left before the 76ers pulled away for good. The 22-year-old burgeoning superstar scored 17 of his 32 points in the first half on 5-of-7 shooting to go along with six free throws. He wound up getting to the line six times in this one and was perfect from the stripe. He’s scored at least 24 points in three of Orlando’s first four contests to kick off the season.

Bane got off to a sluggish start but caught fire in the second half to finish with 24 points before fouling out with just over two minutes left in the game. The 27-year-old has struggled from three-point range in an extremely small sample size at the outset of his Orlando debut, but has still scored at least 14 points in all four contests. It feels like only a matter of time before he start to capitalize on the wide open looks Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner’s playmaking should generate.
