Luke Kennard (illness) is out for Saturday’s game against the Lakers.

Kennard missed Friday night’s game against the Raptors with an illness as well. With the Hawks running low on point guard options with Trae Young also out, expect Keaton Wallace and Vit Krejci to play more minutes, though neither are likely to be good a good streaming option.

Luke Kennard (illness) is out for Friday’s game against the Raptors.

Kennard has been downgraded from questionable to out, leaving the Hawks without two rotation guards. The absence of Kennard and Trae Young means more minutes will be required of reserves Keaton Wallace and Vit Krejćí. Neither player is likely to put up the numbers to merit streaming, but the opportunities will be there.

Hawks.com’s Kevin Chouinard reports that Luke Kennard (illness) is questionable for Friday’s matchup against the Rockets.

Kennard is a late addition to the injury report, and if he’s unavailable to take the court, Keaton Wallace could be in line for more minutes. Nickeil Alexander-Walker could get a slight bump, but he’s already locked into starter’s minutes with Trae Young sidelined.

Luke Kennard accounted for 17 points (5-of-8 FGs, 3-of-4 FTs), one rebound, two assists, one steal, one block and four three-pointers in Wednesday’s win over the Nets.

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.

ESPN’s Shams Charania reports the Hawks signed Luke Kennard to a one-year, $11 million deal.

Few teams have gotten off to a better start to the offseason than the Hawks, who added Kennard and Nickeil Alexander-Walker in free agency and Kristaps Porzingis via trade. Kennard agreed to a one-year deal, giving Atlanta a capable shooter off the bench. In 65 appearances for the Grizzlies last season, he shot 43.3 percent from three and is regarded as one of the best three-point shooters in the NBA. While the bench role would limit Kennard’s fantasy ceiling, opportunities to offer solid streaming value throughout the season will be there.

Luke Kennard (Achilles) is available for Game 4 against the Thunder on Saturday.

Initially questionable with a sore right Achilles, Kennard has been upgraded to available. With Ja Morant (hip) out, there will be more opportunities available to Kennard. Either he or John Konchar will start, with the latter being the more likely choice.

Luke Kennard (Achilles) is officially questionable for Game 4 against the Thunder on Saturday.

Kennard could be in line to start with Ja Morant (hip) doubtful for Game 4, but the 28-year-old shooting guard is questionable with right Achilles soreness. While Morant’s is an injury the Grizzlies simply can’t afford in this series, Kennard’s injury certainly doesn’t help them. Santi Aldama could be in line for a significant role if Kennard misses Game 4.

Luke Kornet played 26 minutes in Sunday’s win over the Wizards, finishing with 13 points (6-of-9 FGs, 1-of-2 FTs), 14 rebounds and three assists.

Luke Kennard turned in a solid line on Monday with eight points (4-of-11 FGs), two rebounds, eight assists and two steals against the Kings.

With Ja Morant sidelined, Kennard took on the role of facilitator for Memphis. This was his second-straight start, but it wasn’t a productive one outside of the assist boost. This was Kennard’s fifth game this season with at least eight dimes, but he wasn’t able to reach his season-high of 11. Kennard has upside as long as he is starting, but the production hasn’t been there consistently for him. He is known for his deep-range shooting, so while the assist numbers are fun, Kennard not hitting a triple is disappointing.

Luke Kennard amassed 11 points (5-of-8 FGs), four rebounds, four assists and one three-pointer in 29 minutes in Saturday’s win over the Heat.

Kennard started Saturday’s game for Ja Morant, who did not play due to a shoulder injury. While the final stat line certainly wasn’t elite, Luke was far from a liability for deep-league managers. His value for Week 20, which begins Monday in Sacramento, depends on Morant’s availability. Kennard won’t need to be rostered if Ja is available.

Luke Kennard (back) is not on the injury report against the Jazz on Wednesday.

After missing Memphis’ last two games, Kennard will be available to play against Utah. His role has been inconsistent, but he should see plenty of minutes, which will likely take some time away from Scotty Pippen Jr.

Luke Kennard (back) is out for Sunday’s game against the Pelicans.

Initially doubtful for Sunday’s game, Kennard has officially been ruled out. Scotty Pippen Jr. should play a few more minutes off the bench, but this is unlikely to impact fantasy basketball with Ja Morant available.

Luke Kennard finished Monday’s loss to the Hawks with 17 points (8-of-15 FGs), three rebounds, seven assists, two steals and one three-pointer in 35 minutes.

Kennard started alongside Desmond Bane on Monday, as the Grizzlies were again without Ja Morant (shoulder). Luke had a good night, providing solid value in the points, assists and steals categories. When allowed to start, Kennard is a worthwhile streamer in deep leagues. Memphis plays three more games during Week 18, starting with the Thunder on Wednesday.

Luke Kennard was ejected from Saturday’s game against the Spurs with 7:43 remaining in the fourth quarter.

A good night for Kennard came to a disappointing and abrupt end as he picked up his second technical foul with 7:43 remaining in the fourth quarter. He finished with 14 points (6-of-9 FGs, 2-of-3 FTs), six rebounds, five assists and two steals in 24 minutes off the bench. Lamar Stevens should play additional minutes off the bench, as the Grizzlies were already without Desmond Bane and Vince Williams Jr. due to injury.

Luke Kennard (back) is available for Saturday’s game against the Spurs.

Kennard has been upgraded from questionable to available, and he should play good minutes due to the Grizzlies’ many absences. Ja Morant, Desmond Bane, and Vince Williams Jr. are out, so Kennard will likely move into the starting lineup. When allowed to take on those responsibilities, he’s worth streaming.

Luke Kennard (back) and Vince Williams Jr. (knee) are questionable for Saturday’s game against the Spurs.

With Desmond Bane (hip) questionable, Kennard and Williams would be next in line for increased minutes if Bane is ruled out. This situation has become complicated by Kennard and Williams also being included on the injury report. Fantasy managers will have to check back prior to game time to see how the Grizzlies’ health situation checks out.
