Porzingis will miss Saturday’s game for conditioning reasons. The 30-year-old power forward missed Friday’s game against the Nuggets with an illness and has missed the last five games. Onyeka Okongwu will start, but he’s already rostered in most fantasy leagues.

Following a four-game absence due to an illness, Porzingis was back in the rotation for this game. He came off the bench for the first time this season and only the second time in his career, which allowed Onyeka Okongwu to remain a starter. That likely isn’t a permanent change, since Porzingis was on a minutes restriction, but he thrived during his 20 minutes on the floor. This was the first of a back-to-back, and Porziņģis hasn’t played in both legs of a back-to-back this year.

Johnson became the first player in Hawks history to record a triple-double in a single half. He wasn’t quite as productive in the second half, but he was still able to set a new career high for assists and match his career high for rebounds. Johnson missed Wednesday’s game due to right calf tightness, and he was questionable to play in this one. It didn’t seem to bother him, but there is certainly a chance he is back on the injury report ahead of Saturday’s game against the Wizards since it is the second of a back-to-back.

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.

Porziņģis will be back after a four-game absence, and he will likely return to his spot in the starting lineup. That would typically push Onyeka Okongwu to the bench, but with Porziņģis on a minutes restriction, Okongwu will continue to start. This is the first night of a back-to-back, so Porziņģis will likely sit that one out.

Johnson will be back after a one-game absence. Mouhamed Gueye started that game in his place, but he will return to a reserve role for this one. This is the first night of a back-to-back, so don’t be surprised if Johnson is back on the injury report ahead Saturday’s game against the Wizards.

Porziņģis has missed Atlanta’s last four games due to illness, and he has progressed to the “return to competition conditioning” phase. Onyeka Okongwu will be the starting center whenever Porziņģis is not available, and he should already be rostered in all leagues.

Due to right calf tightness, Johnson was held out of Wednesday’s loss to the Clippers. Mouhamed Gueye replaced him in the starting lineup but did not offer much value, going scoreless in 23 minutes. Gueye may get another start if Johnson can’t play against the Nuggets, but there’s no need to consider streaming him.

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.

The Hawks are without Jalen Johnson and Kristaps Porziņģis, with the latter missing his fifth consecutive game. Okongwu will continue to start for KP, while Gueye steps in for Johnson. While Okongwu is already rostered in most leagues, Gueye is worthy of streaming consideration in deep leagues.

Initially listed as available for Wednesday’s game, Johnson was downgraded to questionable about an hour before tipoff. He is now officially out. Mouhamed Gueye could be pushed into the starting lineup out of necessity. Getting to start would make Gueye worthy of a look in deep leagues, which has not been the case when he’s come off the bench.

Porziņģis will miss a fourth consecutive game due to illness. Onyeka Okongwu, who should already be rostered in most leagues, will remain in the starting lineup until Porziņģis is healthy enough to play. Mouhamed Gueye will pick up rotation minutes off the bench as Okongwu’s backup.

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.

Okongwu started once again with Kristaps Porziņģis sidelined for a third straight outing. He was better as a scorer in this one after he shot 5-of-14 on Sunday, but he wasn’t as effective on the glass. The Hawks were dominated on the boards, losing the rebounding battle 60-34. Okongwu has another tough matchup coming up next against Ivica Zubac on the Clippers on Wednesday.

24 hours after scoring a career-best 41 points in a double-overtime win, Johnson was able to turn in another masterclass performance, though it wasn’t enough for Atlanta to add another victory. Johnson has been consistently incredible for fantasy managers, and with Trae Young (knee) still a couple weeks away, he’ll continue to be a fantasy superstar. Next up on the schedule is the Clippers on Wednesday,

Porziņģis will miss a third straight game, which should mean a third straight start for Onyeka Okongwu. Okongwu is a strong streaming option for as long as KP is sidelined, and Mouhamed Gueye should soak up backup big man minutes off the bench.

Two days after recording a triple-double, Johnson set a new career high for scoring in a double-overtime win over Philadelphia. It was a spectacular showing, and Johnson was able to make an impact from beyond the arc, at the free throw line and at the rim to help the Hawks move to 13-8. With Trae Young (knee) set to miss at least two more weeks, Johnson will continue to be the star of the show. Johnson has been one of the best players in fantasy basketball this season, which will continue during Atlanta’s upcoming four-game week.

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.

Okongwu remained in the starting lineup with Kristaps Porziņģis sidelined once again. He wasn’t as productive offensively as he has been in previous starts, but he was still able to record a double-double and have success as a playmaker. It wasn’t a spectacular night for Okongwu, but he was able to nearly match his season high for rebounds. As long as Porziņģis is sidelined, Okongwu will continue to shine.

This will be a second straight absence for Porziņģis, which will mean another start for Onyeka Okongwu. OO has been elite as a starter and will once again be set up for a big night. Mouhamed Gueye should also see a few extra minutes as the backup center.

Young is dealing with an MCL sprain in his right knee. It was reported that he’d be re-evaluated in four weeks at the beginning of the month, but now it’ll be another two weeks before there’s an update on the 27-year-old point guard’s health. While Young was able to avoid an ACL injury and any structural damage to his knee, he’s set to miss a solid portion of the season.

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.

Coming off his worst performance of the season in a blowout loss to the Wizards, Johnson was able to respond in a big way. His second triple-double of the season also featured his second-best mark for both points and assists this year. Johnson has been a fantasy superstar this year, and the return of Trae Young (knee) shouldn’t drop his production significantly.

Daniels was able to provide his typical dose of swipes, but the offensive production has been more notable. Scoring isn’t going to be a strength for him consistently, but the playmaking is absolutely something that will stick, at least until Trae Young (knee) returns. Young is supposed to be re-evaluated soon, which should provide more clarity to when he’ll be back in the lineup. Until then, Young should have more opportunities on offense.

With Kristaps Porziņģis sidelined, Okongwu will unsurprisingly return to the starting lineup. He has been excellent in seven starts this year, averaging 20 points, 6.7 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 1.4 steals, 1.9 blocks and 2.7 three-pointers per game.

Porziņģis was a late addition to the injury report and has now officially been ruled out. Onyeka Okongwu should once again return to the starting lineup, where he has had plenty of success this season. Mouhamed Gueye will likely fill out the backup center minutes, though Okongwu will play most of the center minutes.

Porzingis is a late addition to the injury report, so he should be considered highly questionable to take the court against the Cavs. If KP is sidelined, Onyeka Okongwu could rejoin the starting five in his place.
