Alexander-Walker has been a home run signing for the Hawks, delivering the strongest season of his career, averaging a robust 20.5 points, 3.6 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 1.1 steals and 0.6 blocks through 38 games. He’s averaging just over three three-pointers per-game after sitting at just 1.7 last year. The 27-year-old guard figures to play a larger role in Atlanta’s offense with Trae Young no longer in the picture.

Alexander-Walker knocked down 6-of-11 from three-point range and took 18 shots or more for the eighth time in his last 11 games since December 14. The 27-year-old guard has seen an uptick in scoring opportunities with Trae Young (quad) sidelined. The Hawks will square off against the Raptors on Monday in a rematch north of the border.

Once again starting for the injured Trae Young (quad), Alexander-Walker has scored 23 points or more in three of his last four appearances. Rostered in 47 percent of Yahoo! leagues, he’s providing top-75 per-game value in nine-cat formats. Even if Young is available for Saturday’s game in Toronto, Alexander-Walker is worth considering in more 12-team leagues, and some 10-team leagues as well.

Alexander-Walker recorded his fifth 30-point effort of the season, accomplishing the feat for the first time in nearly a month. The 27-year-old guard took on an expanded role from a scoring standpoint with Jalen Johnson sidelined due to illness, hoisting a season-high 24 shot attempts in this one.

The Hawks won’t have Trae Young or Jalen Johnson for Monday’s game, opening up two spots in the starting lineup. Alexander-Walker and Krejčí are filling the resulting voids. While the former is already rostered in most fantasy leagues, the latter will be worth streaming in deeper leagues.

Since scoring eight points in a November 25 loss to the Wizards, Alexander-Walker has failed to score in double figures just once. His performance against the Knicks was among the best, with the reserve guard recording his fourth 20-point game in his last six appearances. Alexander-Walker has only been an 11th-round player in eight-cat formats over the past two weeks, but he’s worth holding onto in some 12-team leagues.

With Dyson Daniels (hip) sidelined, NAW returned to the starting unit. Since Trae Young (knee) returned to the lineup last week, NAW has started two of Atlanta’s four games and has scored at least 20 points in three of those. He’s at his best as a starter, and he’ll continue to get starting opportunities as the season progresses. However, he’ll still be worthy of a roster spot in standard leagues even as a reserve.

The Hawks will be without Dyson Daniels for Tuesday’s game due to right hip inflammation. Alexander-Walker, who should already be rostered in 12-team formats, moves into the starting lineup. Atlanta’s other four starters are unchanged.

With Trae Young (knee) sidelined for the second night of Atlanta’s back-to-back, NAW slid back into the starting lineup. He was productive as a reserve on Thursday, finishing with 28 points off the bench. He kept hat going as a starter. Even with Young back, NAW will continue to provide standard-league value. He’ll continue to play plenty of minutes, even if he is coming off the bench.

Initially questionable for Sunday’s game with a sprained right ankle, Alexander-Walker’s status has been upgraded. He’ll continue to serve as the starting point guard, as Trae Young is not ready to return from the knee injury that he suffered in late October. Alexander-Walker should be rostered in 12-team leagues.

Alexander-Walker, who has been starting since late October due to Trae Young’s knee injury, is dealing with a right lateral ankle sprain. If he’s unable to play on Sunday, the Hawks will likely turn to Keaton Wallace to fill the void. However, Wallace would not be the only player whose usage would increase, as Jalen Johnson would have the ball in his hands even more than he already does.

Things went south for the Pistons while their starters were on the floor, but the one-sided contest didn’t prevent Alexander-Walker from putting up some decent stats. His scoring and three-point shooting were the main things that stood out, as he led the team in threes and total points. Despite Atlanta playing inconsistent basketball of late, the first-year Hawk continues to be productive — he’s scored over 20 points and hit at least three three-pointers in six of his last seven appearances. Alexander-Walker shouldn’t slow down much as long as he’s on the floor and in good health.

Alexander-Walker fell just shy of reaching the 20-point mark for the sixth consecutive game as he knocked down just 3-of-10 from long range. The 27-year-old guard has stepped up in a big way from an offensive standpoint while Trae Young remains sidelined with an MCL sprain in his knee.

This was the fifth straight game that NAW was able to score at least 20 points, and four of his nine career 30-point games have come over the last 15 days. It has been a spectacular first year in Atlanta for NAW, and he’ll continue to shine as a starter until Trae Young (knee) returns. His value will take a hit after that, but he should still be productive enough to be worth rostering in standard leagues.

The Hawks were no match for the Clippers without Jaylen Johnson as they trailed by 14 points at halftime and ultimately lost by 23. Alexander-Walker continued to put up numbers even in the loss. The 27-year-old shooting guard had 21 points Wednesday and continues to produce with Trae Young (knee) out of the lineup.

NAW was able to have another big scoring night, and it mostly came in the fourth quarter. He scored 16 of his 26 points in the final frame, which included a triple with less than a few seconds left to make it a one-point game. Unfortunately, they came up short, but NAW just keeps on dominating. As long as Trae Young (knee) remains out, Alexander-Walker will continue to shine for fantasy managers.

NAW wasn’t able to match his career high for scoring, which he set less than two weeks ago, but he was able to have one of his best performances of the season. He has been an elite fill-in for Trae Young (knee) who is set to miss at least two more weeks. NAW will retain enough value to be rostered in standard leagues when Young returns, but he won’t match this current run of production. Still, for now, Alexander-Walker will continue to be a star.

NAW has been an incredible fill-in for Trae Young (knee) this season, and he showed why once again in this game. This was his eighth game this season with at least 20 points, and he has more than doubled his scoring average from last season. In previous seasons, NAW had been more of a defensive specialist, but he has been getting it done on both ends of the floor this year. Even when Young returns, NAW should still maintain standard-league value.

Since the Hawks lost Trae Young to a knee injury on October 29, Alexander-Walker has scored at least 20 points on seven occasions, including Sunday night. He has been a sixth-round player in nine-cat formats since making his first start on Halloween, a solid return for many fantasy managers. Alexander-Walker is rostered in 43 percent of Yahoo! leagues, and that number may creep up a bit due to the Hawks being active on a three-game Tuesday to open their Week 6 schedule.

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.

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.

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.

Alexander-Walker returned from a two-game absence and logged a balanced performance against the Kings on Wednesday. In 22 minutes, he made an impact with his scoring and passing on the offensive end, while also contributing on the defensive glass glass. As a result, the veteran guard finished as a game-high +44 in the Hawks’ route of the Kings.

Alexander-Walker is available after missing two games with lower back spasms, prompting the lone change to the Hawks’ starting lineup. His return means Keaton Wallace will head to the bench, where he offers limited fantasy value.

Alexander-Walker is back in the lineup after a two-game absence. His return likely means Keaton Wallace will come off the bench, where he offers minimal fantasy value at best. There’s no need to roster Wallace in any fantasy league with Alexander-Walker healthy.

Having missed the prior two games with lower back spasms, Alexander-Walker was initially questionable for Wednesday’s game. The status upgrade is a sign that he’s trending in the right direction. If Alexander-Walker plays, he’ll likely push Keaton Wallace out of the starting lineup.

Alexander-Walker will miss a second straight game due to lower back spasms. Keaton Wallace started Saturday’s win over the Lakers and will likely retain that role. With Trae Young (knee) also out, Wallace is worth streaming in deeper leagues. Also, Dyson Daniels and Jalen Johnson should have more opportunities to initiate offense.

NAW has been the starting point guard in place of Trae Young (knee), but his absence will open that role back up. Keaton Wallace should fill the void, and with Jalen Johnson (quad) also out, Dyson Daniels will have to step up as a playmaker.
