Nickeil Alexander-Walker NAW records 20/4/5/2 line in loss to Boston
Fri, Mar 27, 2026, 4:22 PM
Nickeil Alexander-Walker posted a solid line on Friday with 20 points (6-of-13 FGs), four rebounds, five assists, two steals and two three-pointers against the Celtics.
Analysis: NAW has had an incredible first season with the Hawks, but he has taken things up a notch in March. He has scored at least 20 points in seven of his last eight games and averaged 23.5 points, 3.4 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 1.6 steals and 3.5 triples while shooting 53.6 percent from the floor, 50 percent from deep and 93 percent from the free throw line. He's making a strong push for the Most Improved Player award and will look to stay hot against the Kings on Saturday. |

CJ McCollum CJ McCollum scores 21 points in loss to Boston
Fri, Mar 27, 2026, 4:15 PM
CJ McCollum finished with 21 points (8-of-20 FGs), five rebounds, two assists and three three-pointers against the Celtics on Friday.
Analysis: McCollum wasn't able to match his 27-point effort from Wednesday's win, but he was able to score at least 20 points for the fourth time in his last six games. This was only the Hawks' third loss since the All-Star break, and McCollum has filled in well with this team, which has led to him having some productive outings for fantasy managers. He'll look to keep it going against the Kings on Saturday. |

Jalen Johnson Jalen Johnson tallies 29/6/6/1/1 line vs. Boston
Fri, Mar 27, 2026, 4:07 PM
Jalen Johnson led the Hawks with 29 points (9-of-21 FGs), six rebounds, six assists, one steal, one block and five three-pointers in a 109-102 loss to the Celtics on Friday.
Analysis: Johnson once again stuffed the stat sheet, though it wasn't enough to keep Atlanta's winning streak alive. However, he was able to match his career high for three-pointers in a game, and he has now hit at least two triples in nine consecutive games. Johnson continues to be one of the premier options in fantasy hoops, and with a favorable matchup against the Kings to wrap up the week on Saturday, he'll look to be even more productive than he was in this game. |

NBA Injury Report

Analysis: Landale has played a key role for Atlanta off the bench, but if he's ultimately ruled out, Mouhamed Gueye could fill in as Onyeka Okongwu's primary backup. |

Analysis: McCollum has now had at least 23 points in four of his last seven games. The 34-year-old shooting guard has provided seventh-round per game value over the last two weeks. McCollum takes on more of a scoring role with Jalen Johnson back and gets two more chances to put up points with the Hawks playing four games this week. |

Analysis: Johnson returned from a two-game absence due to left shoulder inflammation and was excellent while playing 42 minutes in the overtime win over the Pistons Wednesday. The 24-year-old small forward was just two rebounds shy of a triple-double. The Hawks have two more games this week with a back-to-back against the Celtics and Kings on Friday and Saturday. |

Jalen Johnson ATL: NAW, Johnson, Okongwu, Daniels, CJ to start
Wed, Mar 25, 2026, 12:56 PM
Brad Rowland
Nickeil Alexander-Walker, Onyeka Okongwu, Dyson Daniels, CJ McCollum and Jalen Johnson will start Wednesday vs. the Pistons.
Analysis: Johnson (shoulder) will return from injury to provide a boost to Atlanta's opening unit on Wednesday. The Hawks have won 13 of their past 14 games, which has led them to the sixth seed in the Eastern Conference standings with 10 games left in their season. Each game will be of significance as they try to avoid the Play-In Tournament, making Johnson's return all the more important. |

Jalen Johnson Jalen Johnson (shoulder) upgraded to available
Wed, Mar 25, 2026, 11:35 AM
NBA Injury Report
Jalen Johnson (shoulder) is available for Wednesday's game against the Pistons.
Analysis: Johnson is back after a two-game absence with left shoulder inflammation. His return means that Mouhamed Gueye, who recorded a double-double in Saturday's win over the Warriors, will head back to the bench, eliminating most of his fantasy value. |

Jalen Johnson Jalen Johnson (shoulder) questionable vs. Detroit
Tue, Mar 24, 2026, 11:04 AM
NBA Injury Report
Jalen Johnson (shoulder) is questionable to play against the Pistons on Wednesday.
Analysis: Johnson has missed Atlanta's two games with shoulder inflammation, but he could return to take on Detroit. Mouhamed Gueye has been starting in place of Johnson and would get another opportunity to start if Johnson remains out. Gueye had a double-double as a starter on Saturday but was quiet in Monday's blowout win over the Grizzlies. |

CJ McCollum CJ McCollum has 15 points, nine assists in big win
Mon, Mar 23, 2026, 4:20 PM
CJ McCollum had 15 points (5-of-11 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), four rebounds, nine assists, one steal and three three-pointers in Monday's win over the Grizzlies.
Analysis: McCollum took on more of a playmaking role in this one with Jalen Johnson (shoulder) sidelined. The 34-year-old shooting guard had 15 points and nine assists in the blowout 146-107 win. McCollum was a team-high +31 in 22 minutes. He would've been able to have an even better fantasy game if the game was closer and he played more minutes. |

Analysis: Alexander-Walker has now scored at least 20 points in eight of his last 10 games. The 27-year-old shooting guard had 26 points in 26 minutes as the Hawks crushed the Grizzlies 146-107 on Monday. He could've had an even better game had the game been closer and he played more minutes. Alexander-Walker has provided eighth overall per game value over the last two weeks. The Hawks have three more games in Week 22 with a matchup against the Pistons on Wednesday up next. |

Analysis: Johnson is set to miss another game with a shoulder injury as he's been ruled out for Monday's game against the Grizzlies.

Jalen Johnson Jalen Johnson (shoulder) questionable vs. Memphis
Sun, Mar 22, 2026, 12:53 PM
NBA Injury Report
Jalen Johnson (shoulder) is questionable for Monday's game against the Grizzlies.
Analysis: Johnson did not play in Saturday's win over the Warriors, with Mouhamed Gueye replacing him in the starting lineup. Gueye had one of his best games as a pro, shooting 6-of-6 from the field and tallying 16 points and four three-pointers. He'll likely get another start if Johnson can't play on Monday. |

Mouhamed Gueye Mouhamed Gueye doesn't miss, scores 16 points
Sat, Mar 21, 2026, 5:27 PM
Mouhamed Gueye tallied 16 points (6-of-6 FGs), 10 rebounds, two assists, three blocks and four three-pointers in Saturday's win over the Warriors.
Analysis: With Jalen Johnson (shoulder) sidelined, Gueye was moved into the starting lineup on Saturday. And he took advantage of the opportunity, not missing a shot while recording a double-double and blocking three shots. Jonathan Kuminga (2/4/2/1) struggled in a reserve role, shooting 1-of-9 from the field. Gueye's performance may be enough to keep him in the starting lineup if Johnson is not back for Monday's game against the Grizzlies. |

CJ McCollum CJ McCollum records 23 points, five assists
Sat, Mar 21, 2026, 5:27 PM
CJ McCollum accumulated 23 points (10-of-16 FGs, 2-of-4 FTs), three rebounds, five assists and one three-pointer in Saturday's win over the Warriors.
Analysis: Since the All-Star break, McCollum has provided ninth-round value in eight-cat formats. His production has been good enough to merit rostering in 12-team formats, and there's a chance CJ becomes more valuable in 10-team formats during Week 21. The Hawks play four games, and an extended absence for Jalen Johnson (shoulder) would change the equation for McCollum and the other healthy starters. |

Dyson Daniels Dyson Daniels posts 28/7/6/4 line vs. Warriors
Sat, Mar 21, 2026, 5:27 PM
Dyson Daniels amassed 28 points (12-of-17 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), seven rebounds, six assists, four steals and two three-pointers in Saturday's win over the Warriors.
Analysis: With no Jalen Johnson in the lineup, the Hawks needed more production from their available players, and Daniels delivered. One night removed from scoring three points in a loss to the Rockets, he put up a season-high tally against the Warriors. Add in the rebounds, assists and steals, and this was an excellent end to Week 21 for Daniels and the Hawks. Atlanta plays four games in Week 22, starting with Memphis on Monday. |

Mouhamed Gueye ATL starts NAW, McCollum, Daniels, Gueye, Okongwu
Sat, Mar 21, 2026, 1:38 PM
NBA Lineups
Nickeil Alexander-Walker, CJ McCollum, Dyson Daniels, Mouhamed Gueye and Onyeka Okongwu will start Saturday's game against the Warriors.
Analysis: The Hawks won't have Jalen Johnson (shoulder) for Saturday's game. It will be Gueye who fills the void in the starting lineup, with Jonathan Kuminga coming off the bench. The promotion gives Gueye a modest boost, but he is not worth the risk in redraft leagues. |

Sat, Mar 21, 2026, 12:21 PM
NBA Injury Report
Jalen Johnson (shoulder) is out for Saturday's game against the Warriors.
Analysis: A late addition to the injury report, Johnson will not play against the Warriors. Jonathan Kuminga could move into the starting lineup, as he was the replacement the last time Johnson missed a game due to injury. |

Kevin Chouinard
Jalen Johnson (shoulder) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Warriors.
Analysis: Absent from the Hawks' initial injury report for Saturday's game, Johnson is now considered questionable. Obviously, that is not the trend the Hawks or fantasy managers want to see. If Johnson can't play on Saturday, Jonathan Kuminga could make a spot start against his former team. |
