Koloko backed up Onyeka Okongwu (12/10/2 with a block in 31 minutes) at center, and he logged more minutes than Mouhamed Gueye (seven points and six rebounds in 13 minutes). Koloko is on a two-way deal, but he could see meaningful minutes until Kristaps Porziņǵis (Achilles) returns to the lineup. The former is worth a look in deep leagues only.

Johnson couldn’t get it going as a scorer, but he did everything else in the box score, and fantasy managers ended up with another strong performance. Johnson will look to get back on track from an efficiency standpoint when the Hawks face the Celtics on Wednesday.

McCollum hasn’t had trouble offering strong scoring numbers off the bench, but Monday’s final stat line represents arguably his best all-around performance in a Hawks uniform. Fantasy managers who rolled with McCollum were treated to a team-high point total, meaningful counting stats, strong defensive contributions and a flurry of triples.

Risacher is nearing a return after nearly three weeks on the shelf, but until he’s back, Corey Kispert and Vit Krejčí should see increased run. Despite the bump in playing time, neither Kispert nor Krejčí are worth a look outside of deep fantasy leagues.

Porziņǵis is participating in basketball activity, but he’s still at least a week away from returning to the court. Onyeka Okongwu has been soaking up minutes in KP’s absence, and he’s been a strong producer for fantasy managers. Mouhamed Gueye has earned some additional backup minutes, but he’s only worth a look in deep leagues.

Inclement weather has forced a change to the start time for Monday’s game, which was initially scheduled to begin at 7:30 PM Eastern. Monday’s game between Philadelphia and Charlotte was also moved up, and it will start at 3 PM Eastern.

Due to a bone contusion in his left knee, Risacher has not appeared in a game since January 7. Being assigned to the Hawks’ G League affiliate is a step in the right direction, as it’s a sign that he’s able to do some on-court work. While Vit Krejčí was Risacher’s replacement in the starting lineup in the immediate aftermath of his knee injury, Corey Kispert has been the most recent replacement. Neither player should be rostered in most fantasy leagues.

McCollum hasn’t been great with the Hawks, but he has been a consistent source of points. That held true in this game. McCollum should continue to see plenty of minutes for Atlanta, mostly as a reserve, but his impact in category leagues will remain limited. However, he should be able to contribute more in other categories than he did in this game. Just not much more.

Okongwu remains limited on the glass, but he has been able to make an impact in a multitude of categories consistently. He also led the Hawks in scoring in the win. Okongwu is currently providing third-round value in nine-category leagues this season and has been able to produce value across the board. This was a strong performance for him, and he’ll look to keep it going against the Pacers on Monday.

Johnson had a few rough performances in January, but the last three games have been strong. He has averaged 27.7 points, 16.3 rebounds and 7.7 assists per game during this stretch. He hasn’t been as strong in the other categories, but he has been a beast in points, rebounds and assists. He matched his career high for boards in this game, which he has now set three times this season. He’ll look to keep his dominance on the glass up against the Pacers on Monday.

Kennard has logged at least 19 minutes in seven of his last eight games, with his minutes increasing when the shots are falling. The Hawks’ guard was 4-of-5 from beyond the arc in Memphis, with the 18 points being double his tally from the prior three games combined. Kennard still isn’t at the point where he can be trusted in fantasy leagues, but more nights like Wednesday could change that.

While he did shoot 60 percent from the field and record a complete stat line, this was a rough night for Okongwu. In addition to fouling out, the Hawks’ center committed a season-high seven turnovers. The good news is that nights like this have not been the norm for Okongwu, so it’s safe to assume that he’ll bounce back. And over the past two weeks, he has provided third-round value in eight-cat formats.

Johnson wasn’t among the ten players named starters for next month’s All-Star Game, but there’s little doubt that he should be making the trip. The Hawks’ forward recorded another stellar stat line on Wednesday, finishing two assists shy of a triple-double. After taking one significant leap last season, Johnson has taken another, and that likely factored into the Hawks’ decision to trade Trae Young. Johnson has been a fantasy cornerstone this season, and that should be the case for future seasons as well.

With Zaccharie Risacher (knee) still out, the Hawks decided to go with Corey Kispert (two points, one rebound, one assist and one steal) as the fifth starter instead of McCollum or Vit Krejčí (zero points, two assists). However, this did not prevent McCollum from being the one on the court as the Hawks mounted a fourth-quarter rally. More concerning than the role was McCollum playing 24 minutes. If he can consistently get into the high-20s, the veteran guard will have an easier time preserving most of his fantasy value.

Alexander-Walker was on a heater during the fourth quarter, making five of his six three-point attempts. After recording five 30-point stat lines in his first six NBA seasons, the Hawks’ guard has seven such games during the 2025-26 campaign. Alexander-Walker is on track to be one of the heroes of the fantasy basketball season, as he has exceeded expectations by a significant margin.

Daniels, who recorded his seventh double-double of the season, finished three assists shy of his career-high on Monday. He was one rebound shy of his second triple-double, and Daniels has been a top-15 per-game player in nine-cat formats over the past two weeks. After getting off to a slow start, the Hawks’ guard is headed in the right direction in terms of fantasy value.

Johnson produced another excellent stat line, finishing with his 28th double-double of the season. At this time last season, which is about when a shoulder injury sidelined him for the remainder of the 2024-25 campaign, the Hawks forward had 20 double-doubles. Included in Monday’s stat line were 16 rebounds, two shy of his season and career-high. Look for Johnson to continue to flourish, and it would be unsurprising if he were named an All-Star reserve later this month.

The Hawks welcome Daniels back after a one-game absence, and his return means that CJ McCollum will head back to the bench. That’s one of two changes to the starting five, with Kispert being the other. He steps in for Vit Krejčí, who was the initial replacement for the injured Zaccharie Risacher. Kispert can provide three-pointers, but his overall streaming value is limited.

Daniels is back after sitting out Saturday’s loss to the Celtics. His return gives the Hawks a needed boost defensively, and it will likely push CJ McCollum to the bench.

Monday’s game against the Bucks will be the sixth that Risacher has missed with a bone contusion in his left knee. With the team’s update, he’ll miss at least another three games before being re-evaluated. Vit Krejčí has been Risacher’s replacement in the starting lineup, and that should not change.

Counting Monday’s game against the Bucks, Porziņǵis has missed Atlanta’s last six games with left Achilles tendinitis. His continued absence means more rotation minutes for Mouhamed Gueye, who has served as the primary backup to Onyeka Okongwu. Recent signing Christian Koloko may also get some run, but neither he nor Gueye is in a position to affect fantasy basketball.

Monday’s game will be the sixth that Risacher has missed due to his knee injury, meaning that Vit Krejčí gets another start. Due to his struggles shooting the ball since moving into the starting five, Krejčí is not worth the streaming risk in most leagues.

Porziņǵis will miss a sixth consecutive game as he deals with an Achilles tendon injury. Mouhamed Gueye should remain the first option off the bench behind starter Onyeka Okongwu, with Asa Newell picking up a few minutes as the third option.

Daniels was held out of Saturday’s loss to the Celtics, leading to CJ McCollum moving into the starting lineup and playing 27 minutes. McCollum would likely retain that role if Daniels misses a second game, making him worthy of a look in deep leagues.

Atlanta never recovered after getting off to a brutal start, shooting 35 percent (17-of-48) in the opening half while allowing the Celtics to erupt for 81 first-half points on 63 percent shooting (30-of-48), resulting in a massive 31-point deficit at the break. Simply put, they never recovered. Okongwu has topped 20 points in back-to-back contests and is averaging 16.4 point and 7.9 boards through 42 games this season, delivering third-round fantasy value. The Hawks are in line for a three-game week coming up with matchups against the Bucks, Grizzlies and Suns.

There weren’t a ton of positive takeaways for the free-falling Hawks in this one as Alexander-Walker nailed a team-high four three-pointers as one of the few starters that shot the ball well. The 27-year-old should have an expanded role with Trae Young no longer in the picture and he’s been a bright spot overall this season, averaging 20.4 points, 3.6 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 1.1 steals and 0.6 blocks through 42 games.

Initially questionable, Daniels will not be available on Saturday, which opens up a spot in the starting lineup. CJ McCollum and Luke Kennard are potential replacements, with the former yet to make his first start as a Hawk since being acquired from the Wizards in the Trae Young deal.

This will be a fifth straight absence for Risacher, which means Vit Krejčí should be in line for another start. Unfortunately, Krejčí has shot 28.6 percent during this stint as a starter, and his value is tied to his shooting ability. He isn’t worth streaming despite the increased workload.

Porziņģis is set to miss a fifth straight game. Mouhamed Gueye should continue to fill out the backup center minutes, with Asa Newell and the recently-signed Christian Koloko also potentially sprinkling in some minutes. However, Onyeka Okongwu will continue to log most of the minutes at center.

Daniels’ potential absence would leave the Hawks’ rotation even thinner than it already is. CJ McCollum would have a chance to make his first start for Atlanta, though Luke Kennard could also slide in to fill that spot. Keaton Wallace is another candidate to start if the Hawks are looking for more defense in place of Dyson.
