As expected, Young has been upgraded from probable to available for Tuesday’s 7/8 Play-In tournament matchup. He’ll occupy his usual role within the Hawks’ starting lineup. The winner of Tuesday’s game will face Boston in the first round, with Game 1 scheduled for Sunday. The loser will host the winner of Wednesday’s matchup between Miami and Chicago on Friday for the eighth seed in the East.

Even in the postseason, Atlanta is still listing Young as probable ahead of every game. There isn’t a chance that he sits out, so expect him to occupy his typical spot in the starting unit in the 7/8 matchup, with a chance to play the Celtics in the first round on the line.

Mann was one of the few veterans that played on Sunday, and he was able to do more scoring than he typically does for the shorthanded Hawks. He scored 14 points in the third quarter and matched his highest-scoring performance as a Hawk. Mann will play a large reserve role for Atlanta during the postseason, but his role doesn’t typically ask him to score as much as he did in this game. Still, Mann will be an important piece for the Hawks as they try to survive the Play-In Tournament.

Isaac only played 19 minutes in his first start of the season, but that was enough time for him to record his first double-double since January. Isaac has averaged 12 points, seven rebounds, three assists, one steal and three blocks while playing 19 minutes across Orlando’s last two games. Injuries have plagued his career, but he’s an elite defender when healthy. Isaac could play a pivotal role for the Magic during the postseason.

Black’s second year in the league has been better than his first, and he was able to close out the regular season on a high note. After scoring 21 points on Friday, Black added a 20-point double-double in this game, which was the first double-double of his career. The 21-year-old should be an important rotation piece for Orlando during the postseason, but we won’t see lines like this from him in the playoffs. Still, the 2023 No. 6 overall pick still has plenty of upside.

Game 82 always provides some fun stat lines, and that was the case in Atlanta on Sunday. Wallace recorded the first triple-double of his career and posted career highs in assists, rebounds and steals. Wallace has had some strong games this season when Trae Young is sidelined, which was the case once again on Sunday. The two-way guard likely won’t see the floor in the postseason, but it was good to see him take advantage of the opportunity in this game.

Risacher and Gueye started Sunday’s game but did not see any action during the second quarter. Neither player returned for the start of the third, and their respective regular seasons have concluded. Both will be available for Wednesday’s play-in tournament matchup with Orlando. Risacher finished with six points, two rebounds, one block and two three-pointers in 10 minutes, with Gueye tallying three points, four rebounds and one three-pointer in seven minutes. Jacob Toppin and Vit Krejci started the third quarter.

The Hawks and Magic will meet again in Orlando in a play-in tournament matchup, and Sunday’s result will not change that. Wallace, Mann and Barlow move into the starting five, filling in for Trae Young, Dyson Daniels and Onyeka Okongwu. Also, don’t expect Risacher to take on a full starters’ workload ahead of Tuesday’s rematch.

The only starter that will be the same as Friday is da Silva. KCP and WCJ sat on Friday but will surprisingly suit up in the inconsequential season finale. With a Play-In matchup with the Hawks coming in just a couple days, it’s unclear how much KCP and WCJ will play. Black will replace the injured Cory Joseph in the starting lineup, with Isaac getting his first start of the season. Gary Harris, Caleb Houstan and Goga Bitadze will come off the bench after starting on Friday, though Houstan and Bitadze should still play significant roles.

Joseph will not play in Sunday’s regular season finale, as the Magic will host the Hawks in a play-in tournament matchup on Tuesday. Anthony Black will replace the veteran guard in the starting lineup, and he’s worth the risk in active deep leagues. He may not be a consistent shooter, but Black can rack up some steals against a Hawks lineup that will lack its top three players (Trae Young, Onyeka Okongwu and Dyson Daniels).

With the Hawks locked into the eighth seed in the East regardless of Sunday’s results, the team’s three most important players will sit. Okongwu joins Trae Young and Dyson Daniels on the sidelines. Okongwu’s absence means more playing time for Dominick Barlow, who logged two minutes in Friday’s win over the 76ers. He will likely start against the Magic.

The Hawks and Magic will meet again in the play-in tournament on Tuesday, and Sunday’s result has no bearing in seeding.

The Hawks already know their playoff seed and play-in tournament matchup, as they’ll visit the Magic early next week. Niang and LeVert are among the rotation players listed as questionable for Sunday. If they don’t play, the Hawks will likely give Terance Mann and Vit Krejci additional minutes, to name two players absent from the initial injury report.

Atlanta is locked into the eight-seed in the East and will visit Orlando in the first round of next week’s play-in tournament. There’s nothing on the line for Sunday’s regular-season matchup, which may prompt the Hawks to rest key players like Okongwu and Daniels. Garrison Mathews and Vit Krejci are two of the players who would play more if the Hawks decide to rest their starters.

If Young doesn’t play, look for Keaton Wallace to log significant minutes.

With four starters sidelined and the fifth, Cory Joseph, only playing six minutes, Black played plenty on Friday. While the points, rebounds, assists and steals were solid, the second-year point guard was also responsible for five turnovers. Black will be in Orlando’s postseason contention, but the last two games should mean more opportunities for him to play with the ball in his hands. Overall, he was good on Friday, and Sunday’s game against the Hawks will present a similar opportunity.

The Magic are guaranteed the seventh seed in the East, meaning they’ll host the 7 vs. 8 play-in game early next week. As a result, four starters did not play on Friday, and Cory Joseph only logged six minutes. The absences meant more opportunities for Queen, and the two-way contract guard took advantage. He only missed two shots on the night, providing solid value in multiple categories. Sunday’s regular-season finale against the Hawks won’t mean anything, so Queen may get to play extended minutes again.

For the 91st time in his career, Young finished with at least 30 points and 10 assists. That puts him 14 games behind LeBron James and James Harden, who are tied for second in NBA history with 105 such games. Young is getting hot at the right time for the Hawks with the postseason approaching. Atlanta clinched the eighth seed in the East on Friday, so Young will likely sit out against the Magic on Sunday. That will give him a few days to rest before they head to Orlando for the Play-In Tournament next week.

Isaac entered the season with an incentive worth $2.6 million if he could appear in 70 games. Given the Magic forward’s injury history, few expected him to meet the number. Isaac did so on Friday, with the 70 games being the most in a season since the 2018-19 campaign. He was productive against the Pacers, recording a complete stat line, including his first double-digit point total since February 8. The Magic, who have secured the seventh seed in the East, finish their regular season on Sunday against the Hawks.

What a night it was for LeVert. He entered halftime with 18 points while shooting a perfect 7-of-7 from the floor and ended up setting a new season-high for scoring. He combined with fellow reserve Georges Niang to provide 47 points and eight triples off the bench, which helped Atlanta overcome a halftime deficit. LeVert has been a welcomed addition to the Atlanta bench and should play an important role for them in the postseason. However, with the Hawks locked in to the eighth seed, he may not play in the season finale on Sunday against Orlando.

Gueye’s role has been inconsistent for Atlanta this season, even as a starter for the past two months. However, this was one of the best performances of his career. He provided value across the board and demolished his previous career-high of 12 rebounds, which he reached twice this season. Gueye, who is only 22 years old, should continue to start in the postseason for Atlanta, though Quin Snyder won’t hesitate to turn to his veterans off the bench earlier on. With Jalen Johnson healthy next season, there isn’t a clear path for Gueye to retain standard league value.

LeVert was one of three Hawks to score at least 21 points in Sunday’s victory, and seven reached double figures. That tends to happen when facing the team with the league’s worst defense. While LeVert’s output in category leagues has not been great, his value has increased in points leagues since moving to Atlanta. The Hawks play four games during Week 23, starting with the Magic on Tuesday, which is good news for LeVert managers whose leagues will be active.

Sunday’s double-double was Okongwu’s third in five games, and the 27 points are the most he’s scored since February 5. Since the All-Star break, the Hawks’ starting center has provided third-round value in nine-cat formats and fourth-round value in eight-cat. Okongwu has made the most of his opportunity since being moved into the starting lineup to the delight of many fantasy managers. Look for his Yahoo! ADP to be well within the top 100 next season after he began this season at 116.

As expected, Young took full advantage of Sunday’s matchup with the league’s worst defense. Having struggled against the Knicks on Saturday, the Hawks’ point guard recorded another points/assists double-double against the Jazz. Also, he only committed three turnovers, so fantasy managers who needed a solid outing in their championship round had to be pleased. For those whose leagues run through Week 23, Young and the Hawks play four games, starting with the Magic on Tuesday.

As expected, Young has been upgraded from probable to available for Sunday’s game.

Niang’s inconsistent production makes him a challenging player to trust in fantasy leagues. However, his place within the Hawks’ rotation has made him worth a look in some deep leagues. Niang did not shoot the ball well on Saturday, but he did replace Mouhamed Gueye (six points, three rebounds, one assist and one block in 17 minutes) in the lineup to begin the second half. The minutes are there, but the production has not been recently, with Niang reaching double figures in two of his last five appearances.

After scoring 21 points in his prior three appearances, Mann hit double figures for the first time since March 27 in Saturday’s defeat. Despite averaging just 10.6 points per game, he has been a ninth-round player in nine-cat formats over the past two weeks. Georges Niang and Caris LeVert have been superior deep-league options since the trade deadline, but Mann will be worthy of a look for Sunday’s game against the Jazz.

LeVert has reached double figures in three straight and four of his last five appearances for the Hawks. However, over the past two weeks, he’s ranked outside the top 200 in nine-cat formats. The issue has been the field goal percentage. Although LeVert shot the ball well on Saturday, making six of his 11 attempts, he’s been a 38.9 percent shooter over the past two weeks. He’ll look to end Week 22 on a high note when the Hawks host Utah on Sunday.

Young and the Hawks had a rough afternoon, trailing by as much as 34 before making things more respectable late. His streak of games with at least 12 assists ended at six, and the Hawks’ point guard also shot 33.3 percent from the field.

Wagner continued to pour in the buckets in his 10th consecutive game with at least 20 points.

Banchero had a monster effort against the Wizards on Thursday with 33 points, 18 rebounds and eight assists, which put him just two assists shy of a triple-double. The 22-year-old power forward bounced back with three made three-pointers, which was something he hadn’t done in his previous six games entering play Thursday. Banchero still turned the ball over four times, giving him at least four turnovers in four of his last five games. While the turnovers have dragged down his value in nine-category leagues, he remains a top-50 option in eight-category leagues over the last two weeks.

Caldwell-Pope is on a heater from deep, having shot 10-of-12 from beyond the arc in his last two games. Tuesday’s three-point tally of seven was a season-high, surpassing the six he made in a November 27 win over the Bulls. The issue is that Caldwell-Pope does not provide much value outside of points and three-pointers; he’s a liability in fantasy leagues when those shots aren’t falling. Over the past two weeks, KCP has provided 10th-round value in nine-cat formats, four rounds better than his season-long production.

On Tuesday, Wagner and Paolo Banchero became the first duo in Magic history to score 20 points or more in nine straight games. Averaging 23.1 points, 6.3 rebounds and 5.4 assists per game, Franz has provided sixth-round value in eight- and nine-cat formats over the past two weeks. The issue for fantasy managers has been the lackluster defensive production, with Wagner averaging 0.5 steals and 0.1 blocked shots. However, this isn’t a massive deal for category league managers who receive solid output from other players in those categories.

Sidelined for nine of Orlando’s last 10 games with a toe injury, Anthony returned to the rotation on Tuesday. He was used in a reserve role, as the team is taking a cautious approach after an aggravation of the initial toe injury sidelined Anthony for seven of those nine games. He filled the stat sheet, but those who have him rostered took a hit in the field goal percentage category. Anthony’s return meant fewer minutes for Cory Joseph (6/2/1 with two three-pointers) and Anthony Black (4/2/3/3), who played 18 and 20 minutes, respectively. The Magic play their final game of Week 22 in Washington on Thursday, so managers who have any of these guards rostered will want to free up that roster spot for the weekend.

Banchero’s value in nine-category leagues, where he’s just outside the top-50 players over the last two weeks, has taken a hit with those high-turnover games.
