Wallace, Gueye and Okongwu will replace Nickeil Alexander-Walker (back), Jalen Johnson (quad) and Kristaps Porzingis (rest) in the starting unit on the second night of a back-to-back. This will be a shorthanded rotation for Atlanta, with Trae Young (knee) and Luke Kennard (illness) also out, which means Asa Newell and Vit Krejci should play big minutes off the bench.

Wallace could be ready to return to the Hawks lineup following a one-game absence, and his next chance to take the court will be Tuesday against Orlando. His return could mean fewer minutes for Luke Kennard, who had a serviceable performance on Sunday against Cleveland.

Wallace, who was initially questionable for Sunday’s game, will not be available. That leaves the Hawks light on options at point guard, with starter Trae Young (knee) out for at least four weeks. Luke Kennard should see more time off the bench, with starters Nickeil Alexander-Walker and Dyson Daniels spending even more time on the ball as playmakers.

Wallace played 17 minutes off the bench against the Pacers on Friday with Trae Young (knee) sidelined. Young is set to miss at least a month, so Wallace’s role will be secure when he’s available. If he misses this game, Luke Kennard should see an uptick in minutes off the bench, with Dyson Daniels and Nickeil Alexander-Walker also seeing a boost in playmaking opportunities.

Wallace exited during the second quarter after chipping a few teeth on a face-first fall to the court. He has since returned, taking on the backup point guard duties. Unfortunately for the Hawks, Zaccharie Risacher (leg) limped to the locker room during the third quarter and only recently returned to the bench. He is available to play.

During the second quarter of Wednesday’s game, Wallace lost his balance and fell, hitting his face on the court. That resulted in multiple chipped teeth, and he’s questionable to return. Nickeil Alexander-Walker, whose playing time increased due to Dyson Daniels getting into foul trouble, and Luke Kennard will have added importance if Wallace cannot return.

Wallace entered training camp on a two-way contract, agreeing to the deal in mid-July. While he did not score more than six points in any of his four preseason appearances, the 6-foot-3 guard dished out 20 assists while committing just five turnovers. Wallace was a worthwhile streamer in deep leagues when the Hawks were without Trae Young last season, but they added Nickeil Alexander-Walker during the summer. The Hawks have not wasted any time filling the two-way slot that belonged to Wallace, as they’ve signed Caleb Houstan.

Wallace spent last season on a two-way contract with the Hawks and will do the same in 2025-26. The older brother of Oklahoma City guard Cason Wallace, Keaton appeared in 31 games last season, making five starts when the Hawks were without Trae Young. With Atlanta signing Nickeil Alexander-Walker via sign-and-trade, Wallace’s streaming opportunities will likely be limited next season.

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.

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.

Wallace has not appeared in a game since March 10, and a shoulder injury has kept him out for just over one week. Wallace won’t receive enough playing time to impact fantasy basketball as long as Trae Young is available.

With Trae Young (quad) sidelined, Wallace slid into the starting lineup for the first time since January. Wallace was productive in his three previous starts this season, but he wasn’t able to replicate that on Monday. The assists were nice, but he struggled as a scorer. In four starts this season, he has averaged 13.5 points ,3.3 rebounds, 6.8 assists, 1.5 steals and 2.3 three-pointers per game. He should be considered as a deep-league streamer if Young misses more time this season.

The Hawks’ lone change to the starting lineup is significant. Trae Young is out with a quad injury, as is valued reserve Caris LeVert. He’ll be replaced by Wallace, who can provide deep-league streaming value in this role. Daniels’ offensive ceiling will be raised with Young inactive, as he should spend a little more time on the ball.
