Okongwu is dealing with left ankle inflammation, which may have stemmed from San Antonio’s Luke Kornet falling onto his leg during Thursday’s loss to the Spurs. With Kristaps Porziņģis available, the Hawks may need more minutes from Mouhamed Gueye, who’s had his moments when allowed to play extended minutes.

Filipowski sat out Tuesday, but he’s ready to re-join Utah’s lineup following a one-game absence. His return should mean reduced playing time for Kyle Anderson, who logged 21 minutes in Filipowski’s absence.

Porziņģis was back in the starting lineup after a three-game absence, recording a solid stat line in San Antonio. Just as important was his not showing any ill effects from the sore knee that sidelined him. Porziņģis’ return pushed Onyeka Okongwu to the bench, and Double-O finished with 15 points, seven rebounds, five assists and three three-pointers in 25 minutes. Okongwu, who suffered an injury scare during Thursday’s game when San Antonio’s Luke Kornet fell into his right leg, remains valuable in fantasy basketball. But his ceiling is lower with Porziņģis in the lineup.

Johnson recorded his seventh double-double of the season on Thursday, finishing three assists shy of his second triple-double. Since Halloween, he has been a top-10 player in eight- and nine-cat formats, providing elite fantasy value when the Hawks play without Trae Young (knee). While some may be concerned about what happens with Johnson once Young returns, it’s difficult to envision the Hawks asking him to take a back seat, given how well he’s played.

Alexander-Walker has scored at least 20 points in six of his starts filling in for the injured Trae Young. However, the production across the stat line has been lacking at times. There were no such concerns on Thursday, as Alexander-Walker notched a career-high 38 points, surpassing 35 for the first time since January 13, 2021. Rostered in 40 percent of Yahoo! leagues, NAW has provided top-25 value in eight-cat formats over the past week. He should be rostered in some 12-team leagues until Young is cleared to return from his knee injury.

Due to a sprained right wrist, Filipowski did not play in Tuesday’s loss to the Lakers. His absence factored into Kyle Anderson playing 20 minutes off the bench. Slo Mo’s playing time will decrease if Filipowski plays, but neither will impact fantasy basketball at this point in the season. However, Filipowski will be worth rostering after the February trade deadline.

Risacher and Porziņǵis are back in the fold after missing time with hip and knee injuries, respectively. Their returns mean that Vit Krejčí and Onyeka Okongwu will come off the bench, with the former not worth the streaming risk in most leagues. Okongwu should be rostered in all leagues, whether he starts or comes off the bench.

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.

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.

It has been a scorching hot start to the year for George, and after scoring a season-high 33 points on Sunday, he surpassed that mark for a second straight game. George showed plenty of flashes through his first two seasons in the league, but he is currently averaging career-highs in both points and assists per game. His field goal percentage has still been rough, but that wasn’t an issue in this game, though that isn’t something fantasy managers should get used to.

Markkanen’s streak of 40-point games comes to a close after two, but he has scored at least 30 points in four straight games. His scoring tear has lasted all year in what has been a drastic improvement over his 2024-25 output. Markkanen is one of six players averaging at least 30 points per game this season and as the best scorer in Utah, that should continue moving forward.
UTA • Center • #11

Nurkić continues to provide solid value as the starting center in Utah. This was his third double-double of the year and the fifth straight game he has finished with at least 10 boards. Of course, it’s the assists and steals that set him apart, and he is averaging 6.3 dimes and 3.3 swipes over his last three games. Nurkić’s role as a starter should be safe moving forward, yet he’s still available in 55 percent of Yahoo! leagues.

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.

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.

Hendricks has missed Utah’s last four games, most recently sitting out Sunday’s double-overtime win over the Bulls. He hasn’t been productive enough to merit being rostered in most leagues, but the third-year forward should be in the Jazz rotation if allowed to play against the Lakers.

Filipowski played 21 minutes in Sunday’s double-overtime win over the Bulls, with starting center Jusuf Nurkić logging 38.

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.

Despite coming off the bench in each of his last four appearances, Collier has provided solid value to managers needing assists. He’s recorded seven helpers or more in four straight games and was a key factor in Sunday’s double-overtime victory. Collier and Brice Sensabaugh (16/6/1/1 with four three-pointers) played well enough to be part of Will Hardy’s closing lineup, with the former ramping up the pace and the latter providing valuable three-point shooting. Collier’s return from a hamstring injury has also impacted Walter Clayton Jr., who picked up a second straight DNP-CD on Sunday.

After not appearing in Utah’s first five games, Love has hit double figures in minutes in each of his last three appearances. He was productive against the Bulls, hitting double figures and finishing two rebounds shy of a double-double. Love is not in a position where he needs to be considered for any fantasy roster, even after Walker Kessler was ruled out for the remainder of the season. Managers needing production are better off gambling on Jusuf Nurkić, who tallied four points, 14 rebounds, five assists, three steals and one blocked shot in 38 minutes.

George shot 3-of-10 from beyond the arc on Sunday, but his last attempt was the most important. The Jazz guard knocked down a three with eight-tenths of a second remaining in double overtime to give Utah the 150-147 victory. George tallied a season-high point total, finishing with his second 30-point game. He’s been a pleasant surprise in fantasy basketball thus far, providing top-75 value in nine-cat formats.

Markkanen has scored at least 40 points in each of his last two games, with Sunday’s tally being the highest for him since October 27. The Bulls struggled to find an answer for the Jazz forward, who is providing top-10 value in nine-cat formats going into Week 5. It goes without saying that Markkanen is increasing his trade value should Utah’s front office decide to go that route. The Jazz play three games during Week 5, starting with the Lakers on Tuesday.

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.

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.

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.

Markkanen got off to a scorching-hot start to this game, scoring 25 points in just the first half. He was still effective after the break as well, but it wasn’t enough for the Jazz to get the win. It has been an excellent year for Markkanen, which has been great to see after a disappointing 2024-25 campaign. After a dramatic dip in scoring and shooting percentage, Markkanen is back to playing at an All-Star level. This 40-point performance was the second time he has eclipsed that threshold this season, with the first coming in his season-best 51-point night in October. Utah is likely heading back to the lottery, but Markkanen’s early success is a good thing for the future of the Jazz. Whether he’s used as a trade piece to bring back more draft capital or to help them turn into a competitive team next season, Markkanen playing well and increasing his trade value will help the Jazz long term.

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.

Two days after scoring 20 points for the first time in his career, Bailey surpassed that mark, setting a new career-high for a second straight game. The No. 5 overall pick last summer, Bailey’s career got off to a slow start, but he’s really starting to figure things out. Currently rostered in just 28 percent of Yahoo! leagues, Bailey’s starting spot feels secure, so he should be worth rostering for the rest of the season.

Nurkić had some turnover issues, but he was able to have a dominant night in the box score. This was his second straight double-double and a new season-high for both assists and steals. Nurkić seems to be locked in as the starting center in Utah for now, and he played 28 minutes in this game, while Kyle Filipowski played 18 minutes and Kevin Love played 15.

Coming off the bench for the second straight game, Collier was excellent in his 26 minutes. Not only did the second-year guard record his first double-double of the season, but he also committed only two turnovers. Collier’s ability to get others involved is what gives him value in deeper fantasy leagues, even if he continues to come off the bench. On Tuesday, he picked up the slack for starter Keyonte George (10/5/7), who shot 3-of-12 from the field. Given how well George has played overall, the starting point guard job should be his for the foreseeable future. However, as evidenced by Tuesday’s performance, that does not prohibit Collier from providing reliable fantasy value.

Bailey has hit double figures in three straight games, but Tuesday’s performance was his best by far. The rookie notched his first 20-point game and was efficient in doing so, shooting over 50 percent from the field and only committing one turnover.
