CJ McCollum McCollum posts 17/3/6/2/2 line vs. New York
Mon, Apr 6, 2026, 4:16 PM
CJ McCollum posted a full line on Monday with 17 points (7-of-19 FGs), three rebounds, six assists, two steals, two blocks and three three-pointers against the Knicks.
Analysis: McCollum nearly helped Atlanta make an insane comeback in the final seconds. They trailed by four with five seconds left, and McCollum knocked down a triple to make it a one-point game. Jalen Brunson hit two free throws, and then McCollum banked in a shot from half court, except it was still on his fingertips. Atlanta lost, but McCollum still posted a strong line, which included four stocks. He has had unexpected success as the replacement for Trae Young, which has helped the Hawks be one of the best teams in the league since the All-Star break. |

Jalen Johnson Jalen Johnson finishes with 21/11/5/1 line vs. NYK
Mon, Apr 6, 2026, 4:12 PM
Jalen Johnson recorded a double-double on Monday with 21 points (8-of-19 FGs), 11 rebounds, five assists, one steal, three three-pointers and five turnovers against the Knicks.
Analysis: Johnson has been a huge reason for Atlanta's success this year, but this was a subpar performance for him, even if he was able to extend his double-double streak to five games. Johnson has been one of the best players in fantasy basketball this season, but efficiency was an issue in what was only the Hawks' fourth loss since the All-Star break. Their next two games are against the Cavaliers, and they'll need Johnson to be better than he was in this game to avoid the play-in tournament. |

Nickeil Alexander-Walker NAW lights up Knicks with 36 points, seven triples
Mon, Apr 6, 2026, 4:09 PM
Nickeil Alexander-Walker led the Hawks with 36 points (12-of-19 FGs), two rebounds, three assists, one block and seven three-pointers in a 108-105 loss to the Knicks on Monday.
Analysis: NAW has enjoyed a breakout first season with Atlanta, and he just continues to get better. He has provided third-round value in nine-category leagues this season, but over the past month, he ranks inside the top 10. This was his 10th game scoring at least 30 points this season, which is a mark he has achieved just 15 times in his career. This was also the fourth time in his career that he hit at least seven triples in a game, with all of those coming this season. He has certainly made a strong case to win the Most Improved Player award. |

Tony Bradley Shams: Hawks sign Tony Bradley for rest of season
Sat, Apr 4, 2026, 1:40 PM
Shams Charania
ESPN's Shams Charania reports that the Hawks signed Tony Bradley to a contract for the rest of the season.
Analysis: With Jock Landale (ankle) sidelined for at least two weeks, the Hawks needed additional depth in the frontcourt. They're reportedly signed Bradley to address that issue. The veteran center appeared in 38 games for the Pacers earlier this season, averaging 4.0 points and 2.8 rebounds in 10.9 minutes per game. In a corresponding move, the Hawks have waived Caleb Houstan. |

Nickeil Alexander-Walker Nickeil Alexander-Walker scores 21 points vs. Nets
Fri, Apr 3, 2026, 4:40 PM
Nickeil Alexander-Walker accounted for 21 points (8-of-16 FGs, 1-of-1 FTs), four rebounds, three assists, three blocks and four three-pointers in Friday's win over the Nets.
Analysis: Alexander-Walker, one of the favorites for Most Improved Player honors, continues to flourish in Atlanta. He's scored at least 20 points in six of his last seven appearances, and the Hawks guard also recorded three blocked shots on Friday. Expected by many fantasy managers to offer late-round value before the season began, Alexander-Walker has been a top-50 player in category leagues. |

CJ McCollum CJ McCollum scores team-high 25 points vs. Nets
Fri, Apr 3, 2026, 4:39 PM
CJ McCollum tallied 25 points (8-of-12 FGs, 5-of-6 FTs), two rebounds, seven assists, one steal and four three-pointers in Friday's win over the Nets.
Analysis: After totaling 23 points on 10-of-20 shooting in games against the Celtics and Magic, McCollum may have been thrilled to see the lottery-bound Nets. The veteran guard shot 66.7 percent from the field on Friday, and he was also responsible for seven assists. For those whose fantasy leagues run through Week 24, the Hawks play four games, starting with the Knicks on Monday. |

Jalen Johnson Jalen Johnson posts 18/11/5/1 line vs. Brooklyn
Fri, Apr 3, 2026, 4:39 PM
Jalen Johnson notched 18 points (6-of-12 FGs, 5-of-7 FTs), 11 rebounds, five assists, one steal and one three-pointer in Friday's win over the Nets.
Analysis: Double-doubles have become the norm for Johnson, who recorded another on Friday. The Hawks' star forward logged 28 minutes against the Nets, with Jonathan Kuminga (12/2/1/1/1 with three three-pointers) playing 21 as the backup. With Jock Landale (ankle) out for at least two weeks, this is the setup the Hawks will go with for the foreseeable future. Atlanta won't play again in Week 23; their next game is scheduled for Monday against the Knicks. |

Jock Landale Jock Landale (ankle) out at least two weeks
Thu, Apr 2, 2026, 10:56 AM
Brad Rowland
Jock Landale (ankle) will be re-evaluated in two weeks.
Analysis: Landale has been diagnosed with a high right ankle sprain sustained during the fourth quarter of Wednesday's win over the Magic. With the two-week timeline being for a re-evaluation, the veteran backup is not guaranteed to be available when the playoffs begin. Landale's injury leaves Mouhamed Gueye to serve as the backup center in the short term. As for the playoffs, starter Onyeka Okongwu will likely be asked to take on a heavier workload if Landale is not back by then. |

Jock Landale Jock Landale (ankle) exits during fourth quarter
Wed, Apr 1, 2026, 3:56 PM
Lauren Williams
Jock Landale (ankle) accumulated eight points (3-of-4 FGs, 1-of-2 FTs), one rebound, one assist and one three-pointer in Wednesday's win over the Magic.
Analysis: Landale injured his right ankle during the fourth quarter when he was fouled from behind by Orlando's Goga Bitadze. While he did remain in the game to attempt his free throws, Landale exited immediately afterward and did not return. He'll get imaging done on the ankle, but it's possible that he won't be available for Friday's game in Brooklyn. If Landale sits, Mouhamed Gueye (two rebounds, two assists and one steal in 11 minutes) would move into the backup center role. |

Jalen Johnson Jalen Johnson posts 18/14/8/1/1 line vs. Orlando
Wed, Apr 1, 2026, 3:56 PM
Jalen Johnson accounted for 18 points (8-of-17 FGs, 2-of-3 FTs), 14 rebounds, eight assists, one steal and one blocked shot in Wednesday's win over the Magic.
Analysis: Johnson recorded his third double-double in as many games on Wednesday, finishing two assists shy of a triple-double. When a player is as productive across the board as Johnson was against the Magic, a 0-of-4 night from beyond the arc means little regarding his fantasy value. With the Hawks ending their week in Brooklyn on Friday, fantasy managers will hope to get another complete stat line out of Johnson. |

Onyeka Okongwu Onyeka Okongwu records 16/7/4/2/2 line vs. Orlando
Wed, Apr 1, 2026, 3:55 PM
Onyeka Okongwu tallied 16 points (4-of-11 FGs, 6-of-8 FTs), seven rebounds, four assists, two steals, two blocks and two three-pointers in Wednesday's win over the Magic.
Analysis: Okongwu did not shoot the ball as well as he's capable of, but the Hawks center did record a complete stat line in Orlando. He's recorded four defensive contributions in consecutive games, the first time since March 10-12 that Okongwu has accomplished that feat. Add in the rebounds and assists, and this was a good night for those rostering Okongwu, even if the shots weren't falling. |

Nickeil Alexander-Walker Nickeil Alexander-Walker scores game-high 32
Wed, Apr 1, 2026, 3:55 PM
Nickeil Alexander-Walker amassed 32 points (11-of-16 FGs, 5-of-6 FTs), five rebounds, one assist, two steals, one block and five three-pointers in Wednesday's win over the Magic.
Analysis: Alexander-Walker finished Wednesday's blowout victory with his ninth 30-point game of the season, and he only played the first four minutes of the fourth quarter. The Hawks' guard has scored at least 20 points in five of his last six appearances, and the 32 points were the most in a game for him since dropping 41 on the Magic on March 16. Atlanta plays just one more game in Week 23, but it's against the lottery-bound Nets, which may be good news for those rostering Alexander-Walker. |

Jock Landale Jock Landale (illness) upgraded to available
Wed, Apr 1, 2026, 11:36 AM
NBA Injury Report
Jock Landale (illness) is available for Wednesday's game against the Magic.
Analysis: Landale is available after sitting out Monday's loss to the Celtics. He'll resume his usual backup center duties, which means Mouhamed Gueye may fall out of the rotation entirely. |

Jock Landale Jock Landale (illness) questionable vs. Orlando
Tue, Mar 31, 2026, 11:12 AM
NBA Injury Report
Jock Landale (illness) is questionable to play against the Magic on Wednesday.
Analysis: Landale missed Monday's game against Boston and could miss a second straight game with this illness. Mouhamed Gueye filled out the reserve minutes at center for that game and could fill that role again if Landale remains out. |

Dyson Daniels Dyson Daniels hits two triples, scores 18 points
Mon, Mar 30, 2026, 4:02 PM
Dyson Daniels recorded 18 points (8-of-11 FGs, 0-of-1 FTs), five rebounds, five assists, two steals and two three-pointers in Monday's win over the Celtics.
Analysis: For most perimeter players, shooting 2-of-3 from beyond the arc is not a big deal. That isn't the case for Daniels, who entered Monday shooting a career-low 15.5 percent from three. However, he may be trending in the right direction. Over his last five games, Daniels has made six of his 13 attempts, an excellent percentage for a player who has struggled as much as he has. Add in the rebounds, assists and steals, and this was an encouraging start to Week 23 for Daniels. |

Nickeil Alexander-Walker Nickeil Alexander-Walker dishes out six assists
Mon, Mar 30, 2026, 4:01 PM
Nickeil Alexander-Walker amassed 17 points (6-of-16 FGs, 2-of-3 FTs), four rebounds, six assists and three three-pointers in Monday's win over the Celtics.
Analysis: Four Hawks starters, including Alexander-Walker, finished Monday's victory with at least five assists. He didn't have the best night shooting the basketball, shooting 3-of-8 from two, but the rebounds, assists and three-pointers may have helped minimize the sting for some fantasy managers. Over the past two weeks, Alexander-Walker has shot 50.5 percent from the field, so Monday's performance should not cause much concern. |

Jalen Johnson Jalen Johnson posts 20/12/5 stat line vs. Boston
Mon, Mar 30, 2026, 4:00 PM
Jalen Johnson notched 20 points (7-of-13 FGs, 5-of-6 FTs), 12 rebounds, five assists and one three-pointer in Monday's win over the Celtics.
Analysis: Johnson has recorded a double-double in three of his last four games, with two being of the points/assists variety. The Hawks' star hit double digits in points and rebounds on Monday and was one of four starters to record at least five assists. The ball was moving well, especially in the third quarter, when the Hawks outscored the Celtics by a 36-22 margin. Johnson will have two more opportunities to put up numbers in Week 23, starting with the Magic on Wednesday. |

Onyeka Okongwu Onyeka Okongwu records 20/10/3/3/1 line vs. Boston
Mon, Mar 30, 2026, 4:00 PM
Onyeka Okongwu produced 20 points (7-of-14 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), 10 rebounds, three assists, three steals, one block and four three-pointers in Monday's win over the Celtics.
Analysis: Back in the Hawks' lineup after a one-game absence, Okongwu finished Monday's victory with his 16th double-double of the season and first since March 1. Also, before the win over the Celtics, he had not scored 20 points or more in a game since March 4 against the Bucks. With the decrease in scoring, Okongwu's fantasy value has taken a hit. Monday was a step in the right direction going into Wednesday's game against the Magic. |

Jock Landale Jock Landale (illness) ruled out vs. Boston
Mon, Mar 30, 2026, 11:50 AM
NBA Injury Report
Jock Landale (illness) is out for Monday's game against the Celtics.
Analysis: Landale, who started Saturday's win over the Kings, will not be available due to illness. Onyeka Okongwu is back after missing the last game with a finger injury, so he'll resume his usual duties as the starting center. Mouhamed Gueye likely slots in as the backup, but he is not worth the risk in most fantasy leagues. |

Jonathan Kuminga Jonathan Kuminga (knee) absent from injury report
Sun, Mar 29, 2026, 11:19 AM
NBA Injury Report
Jonathan Kuminga (knee) is off the injury report for Monday's game against the Celtics.
Analysis: Kuminga is available after sitting out Saturday's win over the Kings. He'll provide additional depth off the bench, but that has not been enough to affect fantasy basketball on most nights. |
