After a three-game absence, Porziņģis is available and will likely start. If so, Onyeka Okongwu will head to the bench, but he should still be rostered in all leagues. Okongwu flourished as a starter, but there’s no guarantee that Porziņģis will play starters’ minutes due to his history of lower-body injuries.

Risacher is back after a one-game absence, which will push Vit Krejčí to the bench after playing 36 minutes in Tuesday’s loss to the Pistons. While capable of providing some value in a reserve role, Krejčí does not have to be rostered in this spot.

Sabonis also missed Wednesday’s game against the Thunder, but there was some hope he would suit up for the second game of the back-to-back. Drew Eubanks and Precious Achiuwa both started on Wednesday, but with Keegan Murray likely back, we’d assume Achiuwa slides to the bench. Neither is relevant in fantasy formats.

This was the likely outcome a couple of days ago, but now Murray is officially set to make his season debut after offseason thumb surgery. It’s unlikely that he will play a starter’s workload right out of the gate, but he’s not a high usage player to begin with, so he can help the Kings and fantasy managers without 30+ minutes. With Domantas Sabonis (knee) out on Thursday, that’s one less player to compete with Murray for touches, so Murray needs to be rostered in most formats by now.

Schröder followed up Sunday’s 22-point effort with 21 points off the bench against the Thunder on Wednesday. The 32-year-old point guard ended up playing at least 32 minutes in both games. Schröder figures to be worth more to a playoff team than the Kings as the season goes on, but he won’t see as many minutes in a true reserve role.

DeRozan didn’t have a great game on Wednesday. The 36-year-old small forward was able to get to the free throw line and made 9-of-10 attempts, but shot just 4-of-12 from the field. DeRozan scored just 17 points and had five assists in the loss. The Kings will take on the Grizzlies on the second night of a back-to-back on Thursday.

The Kings are without Domantas Sabonis for Wednesday’s game, as he is out with a sore left knee. As has been the case in the past, he’ll be replaced in the starting lineup by Eubanks, who is worth adding to deep-league rosters. Sacramento’s lineup has no other changes.

Risacher took a hard fall during Sunday’s game against the Spurs and subsequently was held out of Tuesday’s game against the Pistons. The 20-year-old small forward is questionable for Thursday with a hip injury. If he’s ruled out again, Luke Kennard and Vit Krejčí should see extra minutes.

Porziņģis has missed Atlanta’s last three games, resulting in Onyeka Okongwu moving into the starting lineup. While Okongwu would likely move to the bench if KP plays on Thursday, he should still be rostered in most, if not all, fantasy leagues. Mouhamed Gueye’s playing time would likely decrease, but he does not affect fantasy basketball.

The absences of Zaccharie Risacher (hip) and Kristaps Porziņģis, plus some foul trouble for Onyeka Okongwu, led to Gueye playing an extended role off the bench. Gueye has had some other strong performances this year, though they have generally come when Jalen Johnson is out. It was good to see him have a nice game off the bench, and they needed his impact on the glass, but he isn’t worth rostering unless Johnson is sidelined.

NAW has been excellent as a fill-in with Trae Young (knee) sidelined. After scoring a season-high 26 points in Atlanta’s last game, he nearly matched that mark in this one. The defensive stats haven’t come as consistently, but he has been a reliable scoring option, having scored at least 20 points in five of his last eight games. As long as Young is sidelined, NAW will continue to see a boost in usage and production, but he’ll still be worth rostering when Trae returns.
ATL • Forward • #1

Even though it wasn’t enough for the Hawks to win, Johnson’s elite stretch has continued. This was his third straight game with at least 25 points, and while his double-double streak came to an end, he came close to recording a triple-double for the second time in three games. Johnson has been a top-five player in fantasy basketball over the past two weeks, and he’ll continue to produce to that level as long as Trae Young (knee) remains sidelined.
ATL • F-C • #17

This was a third consecutive start for Okongwu due to the continued absence of Kristaps Porzingis with a knee sprain. He continues to be an effective scorer, averaging 26.7 points and 5.0 three-pointers per game during this three-game stretch. However, he was rendered ineffective on the glass in this one. Dyson Daniels, Jalen Johnson and Mouhamed Gueye made an impact as rebounders, so the Hawks weren’t dominated on the boards. However, they didn’t lose that battle, and it’s difficult to look elsewhere when the starting center only grabs one rebound. Okongwu’s rebounding isn’t his best attribute, but it typically isn’t this level of weakness.

With Zaccharie Risacher (hip) sidelined after taking a hard fall in Sunday’s game, Krejčí will get his first start of the season. He has been red-hot from deep recently and will see a boost in minutes and shot attempts as part of the starting unit, making him worth streaming.

This means Murray will miss Wednesday’s game against the Thunder. He was assigned to the G League on Monday to continue his rehab, and now he’s expected to make his return. Keon Ellis started on Monday, but he should return to a reserve role with Murray back. Sacramento’s starting lineup has undergone a few changes recently, but Murray should be locked in as a starter.

Risacher took a hard fall against the Suns on Sunday, so the fact he was questionable before this game is encouraging. He won’t be available, but this may not be a lengthy absence for him.

OO will be good to go despite initially being listed as questionable. With Kristaps Porzingis (knee) out again, OO should remain in the starting lineup. He has been on quite the tear over the Hawks’ last two games and will have an opportunity to keep that going in this one.

Sabonis had been playing through a rib injury, but it’s now his left knee that’s giving him trouble. Drew Eubanks should start in his place, with Precious Achiuwa and Maxime Raynaud filling in a few minutes off the bench. Hopefully this is just a one-game absence for Sabonis, but if he misses more time, Eubanks would be worth adding.

Risacher injured his left hip during Sunday’s win over the Suns, landing hard on the court after completing a two-handed dunk and losing grip of the rim. If he cannot play on Tuesday, more minutes would become available to Luke Kennard and Vit Krejčí, with the latter being the more productive option recently. There’s also a chance that rookie Asa Newell gets more run after logging nine minutes on Sunday, but there isn’t anything to gain from streaming him.

Porziņģis has missed Atlanta’s last two games with a sore right knee, resulting in Onyeka Okongwu moving into the starting lineup. With Okongwu (knee) also questionable for Tuesday’s game, the Hawks could be severely shorthanded in the post. Mouhamed Gueye’s minutes may increase, and there’s also a chance that Atlanta would have to recall N’Faly Dante from the G League if KP and Okongwu can’t play.

Okongwu has started the last two games in place of the injured Kristaps Porziņģis and flourished in that role, most recently scoring 27 points in Sunday’s win over the Suns. However, his status for Tuesday night is in some doubt, with Porziņģis also considered questionable. The Hawks went small when Okongwu wasn’t on the floor on Sunday, with Mouhamed Gueye logging 10 minutes off the bench. He’s only worth streaming if Okongwu and Porziņģis cannot play.

While Alexander-Walker has done more scoring since moving into the starting lineup for the injured Trae Young, the production in other categories has been solid. Since Halloween, he has provided eight-round value in nine-cat formats. That’s good enough to justify rostering Alexander-Walker in some 12-team leagues, but Jalen Johnson has been a bigger beneficiary of Young’s absence. The Hawks open a four-game Week 5 on Tuesday against the Pistons.
ATL • Forward • #1

Johnson continues to flourish for the Hawks and for fantasy managers, recording his sixth double-double of the season on Sunday. Closing in on averaging a double-double, he’s providing first-round value in nine-cat formats. Regardless of Trae Young’s availability, Johnson has been elite. However, the point guard’s absence has put the ball in Johnson’s hands more, much to the delight of those who have him rostered.

The Hawks were once again without Kristaps Porziņǵis (knee), which meant it was “prime time” for Okongwu. The 6-foot-10 forward/center had another big performance, shooting 66.7 percent from the field and recording a complete stat line. Even when Porziņǵis is available, Okongwu has been consistently productive this season, and that shouldn’t change anytime soon. Atlanta plays four games during Week 5, starting with the Pistons on Tuesday.

Risacher suffered a scary fall after throwing down a dunk with seven minutes remaining in the fourth quarter. The Hawks forward lost grip of the rim and went head over heels, landing directly on his left hip. Due to what the team called a left hip contusion, Risacher did not return. Atlanta plays its next game on Tuesday against the Pistons, with Vit Krejčí having added streaming value if Risacher cannot play.

It was more of the same from DeRozan in this one as 14 of his 15 shot attempts came from inside the three-point line, but the Kings dropped their sixth consecutive game despite San Antonio missing superstar Victor Wembanyama (calf). The 36-year-old veteran remains an efficient scorer, but doesn’t offer much else for fantasy purposes at this stage of his career. The Kings are on the road for three challenging games against the Thunder, Grizzlies and Nuggets this upcoming week.

Sabonis, who has been playing through a lingering rib issue, continues to be a double-double machine and one of the league’s premier rebounders, with his 12.3 boards per game ranking fourth in the entire NBA. He recorded his ninth double-double in 11 games this season, but it wasn’t enough as Sacramento allowed San Antonio to shoot 54 percent from the field and dropped its sixth straight contest.

Schröder came within two points of matching his previous season-high mark in this one. The 32-year-old journeyman guard would make plenty of sense as a trade candidate if Sacramento falls out of playoff contention, but he doesn’t offer much fantasy appeal as a role player off the bench.

Downgraded to questionable earlier Sunday afternoon, Porziņģis will now miss a second straight game with a sore right knee. Onyeka Okongwu, who should already be rostered in most leagues, will remain in the starting lineup. If he’s sitting on your league’s waiver wire, pick him up.

After missing Wednesday’s blowout loss to the Hawks, LaVine was back in the lineup. That wasn’t enough for them to get the win, but he was able to have a strong performance. LaVine has cooled off after a scorching hot start to the season, but in 11 appearances, he has scored at least 25 points seven times. Lavine will continue to be a focal point on offense for them, so there should be plenty more performances like this one in the future.

This was a historic night for Russ as he became the eighth player in NBA history to reach 10,000 assists. He also joined LeBron James as the only players to reach 25,000 points and 10,000 assists. He also recorded his second triple-double of the season and set a new season-high for dimes. It wasn’t enough to end the Kings’ losing streak, but it was a strong performance in his first game as their starting point guard. Westbrook should be rostered in standard leagues if you can deal with the inefficiencies.

Following a fourth straight home loss, Kings coach Doug Christie was clearly frustrated with his squad’s effort and discussed the possibility of making changes to the starting lineup. The lone change was moving Schroder to the bench, and he responded with a strong performance. That was great to see, but a move to the bench is still a bad thing for his upside in fantasy hoops. Schroder has struggled this year and shouldn’t be considered a must-roster player at this point.

Sabonis wasn’t able to help the Kings end their losing streak, but he had been struggling over their last few games, so it was good to see him get back on track in this one. After recording a double-double in his first seven games of the season, he had gone two straight without one, though that didn’t continue in this game. He also set a new season-high for scoring. Up next for Sabonis and the Kings is a matchup with the Spurs on Sunday to close out the week.

Johnson was dominant in this game, recording the third triple-double of his career and his first of the season. On top of that, he set new career-highs for points, rebounds, assists and steals while matching his career-high for three-pointers. Usually it’s difficult to say if a game is truly the best of a player’s career, but it doesn’t feel hyperbolic to say that for Johnson. He started to break out last season, but shoulder injuries cut his year short. Now, he’s healthy enough to put the league on notice, and the absence of Trae Young (knee) has allowed Johnson to see a bump in usage. With Young likely still a few weeks away from returning, Johnson will continue to run the show in Atlanta, which should lead to more elite production from him. What will be interesting to see is how this team adjusts to Young’s return; the Hawks have the second-best defensive rating in the league in the month of November and have won four in a row without him.

With Kristaps Porzingis (rest) sitting out the second night of the Hawks’ back-to-back, Okongwu got the starting nod, as expected. What wasn’t expected was how effective he’d be from deep. He shattered his previous career-high for triples and set a new career-high for points as well. Okongwu has improved as a deep-range shooter throughout his career, but the strides he has taken this year can’t be understated; he’s averaging 1.6 three-pointers per game this year, which is more than double what he averaged last year. OO is developing into a true stretch five, which makes him and the Hawks even more dangerous. He’s at his best in the box score when Porzingis isn’t available, but the two centers have been able to share the floor at times this year as well. Okongwu will continue to be a reliable option in fantasy basketball, regardless of what format you’re playing in. However, he turns into a fantasy superstar when Porzingis is out, which is worth noting since the Hawks have another back-to-back coming up next weekend.

Injuries opened the door for Krejčí to return to the rotation a few games ago, and he made the most of the opportunity. That earned him more playing time, and he’s stayed hot over the last four games. During this stretch, he is averaging 19 points and 4.8 three-pointers per game while shooting 63.4 percent from the floor. Until Trae Young (knee) is back, Krejčí appears to be worth rostering in deeper formats and is making a push to be a standard-league option.

Sabonis was one of several Kings players to have a rough night on Wednesday against Atlanta. Sabonis’ performance was one of the better, though — he led all starters in scoring and was the only starter to collect multiple steals.

DeRozan logged one of his least productive games of the season on Wednesday — he set season lows in points, field-goal attempts, and minutes. To be fair to the veteran forward, there weren’t many positive takeaways for any of Sacramento’s main rotation players on a night in which they trailed by as many as 44 points at home before losing by 33. DeRozan will have a chance to bounce back against the Timberwolves on Friday.
