Dyson Daniels Dyson Daniels tallies 9/8/3/2/1 line vs. Miami
Thu, Mar 27, 2025, 5:05 PM
Dyson Daniels posted a full line on Thursday with nine points (4-of-10 FGs), eight rebounds, three assists, two steals, one block and one three-pointer against the Heat.
Analysis: It was a quieter night offensively for Daniels, but he was able to continue to swipe some steals. This was his 10th-straight game with at least two steals. That is the longest streak in the NBA this season, surpassing two separate nine-game streaks, both of which were set by Daniels. This was also his 44th-straight game with at least one steal, which is tied for the 19th-longest streak in league history. Daniels' has been swiping the ball at a historic rate, and he now sits at 208 steals, which is tied for 51st in NBA history for a single season. He has nine more games to ascend up the leaderboard. |

Vit Krejci Vit Krejci scores 14 points with four triples
Thu, Mar 27, 2025, 4:43 PM
Vit Krejci started on Thursday and contributed 14 points (5-of-8 FGs), six rebounds, four assists, one block and four three-pointers against the Heat.
Analysis: Krejci made the move back into the starting unit in place of Mouhamed Gueye, who wasn't in the rotation at all on Thursday. Krejci hasn't been a great fantasy option as a reserve, but when he has started this year, he has been productive. His 14 points were the most that he has had in a game since January, and he was able to provide some value in other categories with the increased opportunity. Atlanta only has one more game with week, but with a four-game week coming up, Krejci could hold some value. |

Trae Young Trae Young records 29/12 double-double in loss
Thu, Mar 27, 2025, 4:29 PM
Trae Young led the Hawks with 29 points (10-of-21 FGs), two rebounds, 12 assists, two steals, six three-pointers and five turnovers in a 122-112 loss to the Heat on Thursday.
Analysis: Young didn't have a ton of help from his teammates, but he was able to have another monster night. This was his third-straight game with exactly 12 assists, and of his four consecutive double-doubles, he has had at least 25 points in three of them. Turnovers continue to plague him, but that will always be an issue. However, he has been more efficient as a shooter recently. He has shot 51.5 percent from the floor over Atlanta's last six games, which has him ranked 13th in nine-cat formats on Basketball Monster during that stretch. Managers shouldn't expect him to stay this hot, but it is an enjoyable hot streak. |

Vit Krejci ATL starting Trae, Dyson, Krejci, Risacher, OO
Thu, Mar 27, 2025, 1:16 PM
NBA.com Lineups
Trae Young, Dyson Daniels, Vit Krejci, Zaccharie Risacher and Onyeka Okongwu will start against the Heat on Thursday.
Analysis: Krejci will replace Mouhamed Gueye in the starting unit, and while Gueye has been a fixture of Atlanta's starting lineup since before the All-Star break, he hasn't seen the workload that an NBA starter usually does. Krejci should be closer to typical starters minutes, and he did have an effective stretch as a starter in January, which gives him some upside if he remains in this role. |

Trae Young Trae Young (Achilles) available vs. Miami
Thu, Mar 27, 2025, 12:08 PM
Atlanta Hawks
Trae Young (Achilles) is available to play against the Heat on Thursday.
Analysis: Unsurprisingly, Young will be good to go after once again being listed as probable. He'll continue to see his normal role in the starting unit, where he has recorded a double-double in three straight games. |

Larry Nance Larry Nance (knee) out for rest of regular season
Wed, Mar 26, 2025, 1:01 PM
Atlanta Hawks
Larry Nance (knee) will be re-evaluated at the end of the regular season.
Analysis: The Hawks announced Wednesday that Nance continues progressing in his recovery from a right medial femoral condyle fracture. However, the next update will not be provided until the regular season concludes on April 13. Nance's absence has freed up minutes for Mouhamed Gueye and Georges Niang. While the former has been in the starting lineup, the latter offers a higher fantasy floor and ceiling. |

Brad Rowland
Trae Young (Achilles) is probable for Thursday's game against the Heat.
Analysis: The Hawks list Young as probable on their initial injury report with the same Achilles tendon issue. He'll likely be cleared to play, so fantasy managers should set their lineups with this expectation. Young should play starters' minutes, as has been the norm for most of this season. |

Dyson Daniels Dyson Daniels double-doubles with four more steals
Tue, Mar 25, 2025, 4:43 PM
Dyson Daniels posted 19 points, eight rebounds, 10 assists, four steals and three triples across 36 minutes in Tuesday's loss to Houston.
Analysis: Daniels continues to get it done across the board for fantasy managers. As if the points, boards, dimes and triples weren't sweet enough, he racked up four more steals to bring his season total to 206. Averaging 3.1 swipes per game, he's on pace to reach 237 steals, a mark that hasn't been equaled since the 1991-92 season when John Stockton recorded 244. |

Onyeka Okongwu Onyeka Okongwu double-doubles in loss to HOU
Tue, Mar 25, 2025, 4:35 PM
Onyeka Okongwu delivered 14 points, 15 rebounds, three assists and a pair of triples across 38 minutes in Tuesday's loss to the Rockets.
Analysis: Okongwu was one of six Hawks to finish with double-digit scoring, and he led all rebounders in the contest. The big man has thrived since returning from the All-Star break, averaging better than 15 points, 10 rebounds, a steal and a block. With Clint Capela and Jalen Johnson out, expect Okongwu to continue producing at a high level to close out the 2024-25 campaign. |

Trae Young (Achilles) is probable for Tuesday's game against the Rockets.
Analysis: Young is considered probable on the Hawks' initial injury report as usual. Unless there's a surprising turn of events, he'll be available to play against the Rockets. Keaton Wallace (shoulder), who would fill in for Young on nights when he's unavailable, has already been made inactive. |

Georges Niang George Niang scores 20 points in 24 minutes
Sun, Mar 23, 2025, 2:49 PM
Georges Niang tallied 20 points (6-of-9 FGs, 3-of-3 FTs), three rebounds, two assists, one steal and five three-pointers in 24 minutes in Sunday's win over the 76ers.
Analysis: Niang had an excellent weekend off the bench. After scoring 23 points in Saturday's win over the Warriors, he tallied 20 more against the 76ers. However, Niang remains a player who does not need to be rostered in most leagues. Ranked outside the top 200 in eight-cat formats over the past two weeks, the Hawks forward is rostered in just seven percent of Yahoo! leagues. Caris LeVert (7/3/7/1/1 with one three-pointer) remains the superior option among Hawks reserves. |

Trae Young Trae Young tallies 28 points, 12 assists in win
Sun, Mar 23, 2025, 2:48 PM
Trae Young recorded 28 points (7-of-12 FGs, 10-of-11 FTs), one rebound, 12 assists, one steal and four three-pointers in 33 minutes in Sunday's win over the 76ers.
Analysis: Another game and another points/assists double-double for Young, who has recorded four in his last six appearances. Over the past two weeks, the Hawks point guard has provided top-10 value in eight-cat formats. While Young did commit five turnovers on Sunday, fantasy managers understand that this comes with the territory when rostering him. The Hawks play three games during Week 21, starting with the Rockets on Tuesday. |

Sun, Mar 23, 2025, 10:21 AM
Atlanta Hawks
Trae Young (Achilles) is available for Sunday's game against the 76ers.
Analysis: As has been the case for much of the season, Young is good to go after showing up on the injury report with a lingering Achilles tendon issue. He'll handle his usual workload as the Hawks' starting point guard. |

Trae Young Trae Young (Achilles) probable vs. 76ers Sunday
Sun, Mar 23, 2025, 7:11 AM
Trae Young (Achilles) is probable for Sunday's game against the 76ers.
Analysis: Young has scored at least 28 points in four of his previous five games and is keeping the Hawks afloat in the Eastern Conference. It appears like he'll suit up on Sunday in an attempt to lead his team to a third straight win. |

Dyson Daniels Dyson Daniels drops 12/11/6/3 line vs Golden State
Sat, Mar 22, 2025, 3:47 PM
Dyson Daniels accumulated 12 points (5-of-9 FGs), 11 rebounds, six assists, three steals and two three-pointers in 35 minutes in Saturday's win over the Warriors.
Analysis: In the steals category, Daniels' 2024-25 season will go down in league history once it's completed. He's had at least three pilfers in 38 of the 65 games he has appeared in this season. While Jaren Jackson Jr. and Evan Mobley certainly deserve the praise they have received, Daniels' name may not come up enough regarding the NBA Defensive Player of the Year award. And the fantasy value has been there, with Dyson providing top-25 value in eight-cat formats over the past month. |

Georges Niang Georges Niang hits six three-pointers, scores 23
Sat, Mar 22, 2025, 3:46 PM
Georges Niang shot 8-of-11 from the field in Saturday's win over the Warriors, tallying 23 points, two rebounds, two assists and six three-pointers in 22 minutes.
Analysis: After scoring 18 points on 6-of-23 shooting in the three games prior, Niang was outstanding on Saturday. The 23 points are the most he's scored in a game since March 6, and this was his first game with at least five three-pointers since February 23. Niang and Caris LeVert (14/2/6 with one three-pointer) have boosted their values since joining the Hawks at the trade deadline, with the latter being the superior deep-league asset. The Hawks play three games during Week 21, starting with the Rockets on Tuesday. |

Onyeka Okongwu Onyeka Okongwu tallies 22 points, 12 rebounds
Sat, Mar 22, 2025, 3:46 PM
Onyeka Okongwu amassed 22 points (10-of-16 FGs), 12 rebounds, six assists, two blocks and two three-pointers in 34 minutes in Saturday's win over the Warriors.
Analysis: Okongwu continued his stellar play on Saturday, recording his fourth consecutive double-double. Over the past month, the Hawks center has provided top-20 value in eight-cat formats. With Clint Capela likely done for the season due to injury, nothing has prevented Okongwu from logging heavy minutes. Not only is he helping fantasy managers win their leagues this season, but Onyeka is boosting his value for drafts in the fall. |

Trae Young Trae Young drops 25 points, 10 assists vs. GSW
Sat, Mar 22, 2025, 3:45 PM
Trae Young finished Saturday's win over the Warriors with 25 points (9-of-15 FGs, 6-of-7 FTs), five rebounds, 10 assists, one steal and one three-pointer in 35 minutes.
Analysis: Young has scored 25 points or more in six of his last eight outings following Saturday's latest 25-point performance. Over the past two weeks, the Hawks point guard has provided first-round value in eight-cat formats, one round better than his season-long production. The Hawks now hit the road for three games during Week 21, starting with the Rockets on Tuesday. |

Trae Young Trae Young, Caris LeVert available Saturday
Sat, Mar 22, 2025, 11:34 AM
NBA Injury Report
Trae Young (Achilles) and Caris LeVert (knee) are available for Saturday's game against the Warriors.
Analysis: Young and LeVert were initially probable for Saturday's game, so the status upgrades were expected. While the former will assume his usual duties as the Hawks' starting point guard, the latter will be a key option off the bench. LeVert is worth rostering in deeper leagues. |
