Sun, Nov 8, 2026, 11:09 AM
NBA Injury Report
Jock Landale (hip) is questionable for Monday's game against the Lakers.
Analysis: Landale injured his hip during an October 31 game against the Pelicans and hasn't played since. With Asa Newell (toe) out, the Hawks will immediately look to Landale for backup center minutes if he can play on Monday. |
Jalen Johnson Jalen Johnson nets 30 points in return from injury
Sat, Nov 7, 2026, 4:38 PM
Jalen Johnson amassed a game-high 30 points (11-of-17 FGs, 8-of-10 FTs), seven rebounds, six assists and one steal over 36 minutes, powering the Hawks to a 124-121 win over the Nets on Saturday.
Analysis: Johnson didn't show any signs of rust, reclaiming his role as Atlanta's primary offensive catalyst, in his return after missing three games with a sprained ankle. The 24-year-old rising star reached the 30-point plateau for the first time this season despite going 0-for-5 from three-point range. It's too early to draw any firm conclusions, but he appears to be sustaining last year's increase in the scoring department, while providing his usual all-around fantasy production, averaging 19.8 points, 8.8 rebounds, 7.6 assists, 0.9 steals and 0.6 blocks through eight games this season. The Hawks are in line for a three-game week that includes favorable matchups against the Lakers, Bulls and Bucks. |
Dyson Daniels Dyson Daniels tallies 10 boards, six steals in win
Sat, Nov 7, 2026, 4:37 PM
Dyson Daniels piled up nine points (4-of-9 FGs, 1-of-2 FTs), 10 rebounds, seven assists, six steals and one block over 31 minutes in a win over the Nets on Saturday.
Analysis: Daniels hasn't evolved into much of a scoring threat, but he remains one of the more impactful guards in the fantasy landscape because of his incredible defensive prowess. He's recorded at least five steals on three separate occasions through 11 games this season and has posted at least nine rebounds and seven assists in three of his last four games since the start of November. The 23-year-old defensive wizard continues to deliver early-round fantasy production, averaging 9.8 points, 7.2 rebounds, 5.5 assists, 2.9 steals and 0.4 blocks through 11 games. The Hawks have a three-game week on tap with matchups against the Lakers, Bulls and Bucks. |
Xavier Cooks Kingston Flemings excels in third straight start
Sat, Nov 7, 2026, 4:35 PM
Kingston Flemings supplied 10 points (5-of-8 FGs), two rebounds and two blocks across 27 minutes in a win over the Nets on Saturday.
Analysis: Flemings has fit rather seamlessly into Atlanta's starting lineup, taking the place of veteran CJ McCollum for the third consecutive game. He managed to reach double figures in the scoring department for the third straight contest as he took more of a backseat with Jalen Johnson back from a sprained ankle. The 19-year-old rookie has put himself on fantasy managers' radar screens with his recent performance and should be rostered in deeper leagues. |
Onyeka Okongwu Onyeka Okongwu (throat) available to return
Sat, Nov 7, 2026, 1:58 PM
Atlanta Hawks
Onyeka Okongwu (throat) is available to return to Saturday's game against the Nets.
Analysis: Okongwu suffered a throat contusion early in the first quarter when he was inadvertently elbowed by Nets forward Julius Randle. The good news is that shortly after the Hawks listed Okongwu as questionable to return, he returned to the bench and got the all-clear. Zuby Ejiofor replaced Okongwu at the time of the injury. |
Luguentz Dort Luguentz Dort returns to bench role Saturday
Sat, Nov 7, 2026, 1:06 PM
NBA Lineups
Kingston Flemings, Nickeil Alexander-Walker, Dyson Daniels, Jalen Johnson and Onyeka Okongwu will start Saturday's game against the Nets.
Analysis: After missing three games with a sprained ankle, Johnson is back and has reclaimed his place in the starting lineup. As a result, Luguentz Dort will come off the bench. |

Sat, Nov 7, 2026, 11:32 AM
NBA Injury Report
Jalen Johnson (ankle) is available for Saturday's game against the Nets.
Analysis: Johnson is back after missing the Hawks' last three games with a sprained ankle. His return likely means that Luguentz Dort will come off the bench. |

Jock Landale Jock Landale (hip) remains out vs. Nets Saturday
Sat, Nov 7, 2026, 7:19 AM
Jock Landale (hip) is out for Saturday's game against the Nets.
Analysis: Landale has missed the last three games with a hip injury. Zuby Ejiofor continues to soak up the vacated bench minutes in Landale's absence. Ejiofor had 10 points, five rebounds and five assists in Friday's win over the Wizards, but still isn't playing enough to be relevant in redraft leagues. |

Jalen Johnson Jalen Johnson (ankle) probable Saturday vs. Nets
Sat, Nov 7, 2026, 7:06 AM
Jalen Johnson (ankle) is probable for Saturday's game against the Nets.
Analysis: Johnson has missed the last three games with a sprained left ankle. Listed as probable Saturday, the 24-year-old forward seems poised to return against the Nets. Luguentz Dort will likely head back to the bench with Johnson back in the lineup. |

Onyeka Okongwu Onyeka Okongwu with 22/10 double-double in win
Fri, Nov 6, 2026, 3:28 PM
Onyeka Okongwu with 22 points (8-of-12 FGs, 4-of-4 FTs), ten rebounds, one assist, four steals and two 3-pointers on Friday in a win over the Wizards.
Analysis: That's back-to-back good games for Okongwu who seems to be bouncing back from the tough start. Jalen Johnson (ankle) is still out which has helped Okongwu with shot attempts. There will be some regression wants he comes back, but he should return mid round value for the rest of the season barring injury. If you can pull off a sell high after the past few games, I'd look to see if that is a possibility. |

Luguentz Dort Luguentz Dort with 25/7/4 in win over the Wizards
Fri, Nov 6, 2026, 3:25 PM
Luguentz Dort put up 25 points (9-of-15 FGs, 2-of-3 FTs), seven rebounds, four assists, two steals and five 3-pointers in Friday's win over the Wizards.
Analysis: Dort hasn't had the same role that he had with Oklahoma City, but it was a good game in this one. He's having a similar output to last season in terms of efficiency, which isn't great since he's been below 40% from the field. He has been impactful on defense and has value there. He's still a deeper league guy despite having a good performance. He has been notorious for being volatile in terms of his day-to-day performances. He's worth a stream in start while keeping in mind that he might ruin your FG% category. |
Nickeil Alexander-Walker Nickeil Alexander-Walker perfect from the FT line
Fri, Nov 6, 2026, 3:23 PM
Nickeil Alexander-Walker scored 28 points (7-of-20 FGs, 10-of-10 FTs), two rebounds, two assists, two steals and four 3-pointers in Friday's 139-132 win over the Wizards.
Analysis: Nickeil has improved from last season where he won most improved player. From struggling to be efficient in New Orleans to leading the Hawks in scoring is a great story. While Jalen Johnson is out, Alexander-Walker should continue to put up points in bunches while getting good steals, good 3's and good free throws while being a high level scorer. |

Jalen Johnson Jalen Johnson (ankle) downgraded to out Friday
Fri, Nov 6, 2026, 11:02 AM
NBA Injury Report
Jalen Johnson (ankle) is out for Friday's game against the Wizards.
Analysis: Johnson will miss a third straight game while recovering from a sprained left ankle. Luguentz Dort has started in the All-Star's absence, but the production has been a mixed bag. |
|
Jalen Johnson Jalen Johnson (ankle) questionable vs. Washington
Thu, Nov 5, 2026, 11:18 AM
NBA Injury Report
Jalen Johnson (ankle) is questionable to play against the Wizards on Friday.
Analysis: Johnson has missed Atlanta's last two games, which has allowed Luguentz Dort to slide into the starting unit. He scored 14 points in his first start but was held to six points in the most recent one. Dort would likely start again if Johnson remains out. |

Xavier Cooks Zuby Ejiofor with 11 points in 17 minutes in win
Wed, Nov 4, 2026, 3:40 PM
Zuby Ejiofor got 11 points (4-of-6 FGs, 2-of-4 FTs), three rebounds, two assists, two steals, and a three in 17 minutes against the Wizards.
Analysis: The big man from St. John's had an impact off the bench in this game and was a big factor in why the Hawks got big leads when the bench was in the game. Asa Newell (toe) left the game early and Jock Landale (hip) is already out, so if you wanted to stream in Zuby in deeper redraft leagues, he could have some value for rebounds. In dynasty leagues, you should be happy that he had this performance and flashed what he might be capable of with more minutes. |
|
Onyeka Okongwu Onyeka Okongwu with a 14/16 double-double in win
Wed, Nov 4, 2026, 3:38 PM
Onyeka Okongwu had a good 14 points (5-of-9 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), 16 rebounds, four assists, two steals, a block and two 3-pointers in 120-105 win over the Wizards.
Analysis: Okongwu has been mildly disappointing this season, so it was good to see him have a good game. He got some more stocks which have been lacking at this point. The minutes aren't going anywhere, so he should continue to have this role barring injury. In dynasty, if he were to ever get traded, his role could be in jeopardy given the fact that he's an undersized center who doesn't defend at a super high level. |

Dyson Daniels Dyson Daniels with a career high 17 rebounds
Wed, Nov 4, 2026, 3:36 PM
Dyson Daniels put up 8 points (4-of-13 FGs), a career high 17 rebounds, and eight assists on Wednesday against the Wizards.
Analysis: Dyson didn't score the ball, but he did have a career high 17 rebounds in this game. Dyson's offense hasn't gotten back to where it was in his third year, and the lack of a three-point shot will hinder him, but the defense has been awesome, and he's been what you would've hoped for when you drafted him with most of his value coming from steals and good rebounds from a guard. |

Xavier Cooks Kingston with 14 points in first career start
Wed, Nov 4, 2026, 3:34 PM
Kingston Flemings had 14 points (6-of-9 FGs), three rebounds, four assists, and two 3-pointers in win over the Wizards.
Analysis: In his first start of his career, he played well and you felt his imprint on the game. It was said on the broadcast that it was CJ McCollum's idea for Kingston to start and get into a rhythm. It is notable that Kingston played 23 minutes when CJ played 25 minutes. His ability to collapse a defense with his speed was on full display. We'll see if this is a permanent change, but he clearly looked good in this game. |

Xavier Cooks Kingston Flemings to make first career start Weds/
Wed, Nov 4, 2026, 12:44 PM
NBA Lineups
Kingston Flemings, Nickeil Alexander-Walker, Dyson Daniels, Luguentz Dort and Onyeka Okongwu will start Wednesday's game against the Wizards.
Analysis: Jalen Johnson (ankle) will miss a second straight game, so Dort remains in the starting lineup. The other change is big: Flemings has replaced CJ McCollum. The change boosts the rookie's fantasy value, especially if head coach Quin Snyder sticks with it moving forward. |

Jalen Johnson Jalen Johnson (ankle) out Wednesday vs. Wizards
Wed, Nov 4, 2026, 12:03 PM
Jalen Johnson (ankle) is out for Wednesday's game against the Wizards.
Analysis: Johnson will miss his second game in a row with a left ankle sprain. Luguentz Dort moved into the starting lineup and had 14 points and four three-pointers in 31minutes Monday against the Pacers. Dort could be in line for a similar role with Johnson out again. |
