Jalen Johnson Jalen Johnson drops 26 points, 10 assists vs. SAC
Sat, Mar 28, 2026, 4:04 PM
Jalen Johnson amassed 26 points (11-of-22 FGs), five rebounds, 10 assists, one steal and four three-pointers in Saturday's win over the Kings.
Analysis: While Johnson entered Saturday averaging a career-high 1.7 three-pointers per game, that may be the one category where fantasy managers have not looked to him for high-level production. He closed Week 22 in fine form from beyond the arc, shooting 9-of-22 from three in Atlanta's last two games. Johnson finished Saturday's victory with his 44th double-double of the season, and he's scored at least 26 points in each of his last three games. |

CJ McCollum CJ McCollum tallies 22 points, five assists
Sat, Mar 28, 2026, 4:03 PM
CJ McCollum accounted for 22 points (9-of-18 FGs, 2-of-4 FTs), four rebounds, five assists, one steal and two three-pointers in Saturday's win over the Kings.
Analysis: McCollum has now scored at least 20 points in five of his last seven games. Against the Kings, the veteran guard provided solid value in rebounds and assists, along with points and percentages. The lone negative for McCollum managers is Atlanta's Week 23 schedule. In addition to being limited to three games, the Hawks are done for the week on Friday. Managers locked in a playoff battle should hold onto a transaction or two for the end of Week 23 and move on from McCollum then. |

Nickeil Alexander-Walker Nickeil Alexander-Walker scores game-high 27 pts
Sat, Mar 28, 2026, 4:03 PM
Nickeil Alexander-Walker recorded 27 points (7-of-14 FGs, 9-of-9 FTs), five rebounds, eight assists, four steals and four three-pointers in Saturday's win over the Kings.
Analysis: Alexander-Walker has been one of the most improved players in the NBA, benefiting both fantasy managers and the Hawks. He shot 4-of-9 from beyond the arc on Saturday, and the eight assists were the most in a game for him since February 7. Add in the rebounds and steals, and this was an excellent way for Alexander-Walker to end Week 22. The Hawks play three games in Week 23, which is championship week in Yahoo! default leagues. |

Jock Landale Jock Landale grabs season-high 13 rebounds vs. SAC
Sat, Mar 28, 2026, 4:02 PM
Jock Landale produced 19 points (7-of-11 FGs, 3-of-5 FTs), 13 rebounds, four assists, two blocks and two three-pointers in Saturday's win over the Kings.
Analysis: With Onyeka Okongwu (finger) sidelined, the Hawks called on Landale to fill the void in the middle on Saturday. As was the case last month, when Okongwu missed time due to a facial fracture, the veteran reserve stepped up. Landale recorded his second double-double since joining the Hawks in early February, and the 13 rebounds were a season-high. Atlanta opens a three-game Week 23 on Monday in Boston, and Landale will be worth streaming if Okongwu remains out. |

Kevin Chouinard
Jock Landale (shoulder) is available for Saturday's game against the Kings.
Analysis: Landale is good to go after missing Friday's loss to the Celtics. With Onyeka Okongwu (finger) out, Landale is likely to start, and he would be worth streaming in that scenario. |
|

Sat, Mar 28, 2026, 11:43 AM
Kevin Chouinard
Dyson Daniels (toe) is out for Saturday's game against the Kings.
Analysis: Daniels is officially out after being listed as questionable on the initial injury report. Zaccharie Risacher is the potential replacement in the starting lineup, giving the second-year a higher fantasy ceiling. |
|

Sat, Mar 28, 2026, 7:22 AM
NBA Injury Report
Jock Landale (shoulder) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Kings.
Analysis: Landale did not play in Friday's loss to the Celtics, leading to Mouhamed Gueye slotting into the backup center role. With Onyeka Okongwu (finger) out, one of those two will likely move into the starting lineup, with Landale offering a higher fantasy ceiling if available. |

Dyson Daniels Dyson Daniels (toe) questionable vs. Sacramento
Sat, Mar 28, 2026, 7:18 AM
NBA Injury Report
Dyson Daniels (toe) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Kings.
Analysis: Daniels, who played 32 minutes in Friday's loss to the Celtics, is dealing with a sprained left great toe. If he can't play against the Kings, Zaccharie Risacher could move back into the starting lineup. While he has not been the most reliable fantasy option, Risacher could be worth streaming in deep leagues, given the matchup. |

Jonathan Kuminga Jonathan Kuminga (knee) ruled out vs. Sacramento
Sat, Mar 28, 2026, 7:13 AM
NBA Injury Report
Jonathan Kuminga (knee) is out for Saturday's game against the Kings.
Analysis: Kuminga has not reached the point where he can play both games of back-to-backs, so he'll sit after logging 18 minutes off the bench in Friday's loss to the Celtics. Mouhamed Gueye, who played 10 minutes, may see his playing time increase, but that is not enough to make him a factor in fantasy basketball. |
|
Onyeka Okongwu Onyeka Okongwu (finger) ruled out vs. Sacramento
Sat, Mar 28, 2026, 7:09 AM
NBA Injury Report
Onyeka Okongwu (finger) is out for Saturday's game against the Kings.
Analysis: Okongwu is out with a sprained left index finger, which he suffered during Friday's loss to the Celtics. If Jock Landale (shoulder), who is questionable, can play, he'll likely move into the starting lineup. If not, Christian Koloko may receive the nod after being inactive on Friday. |

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
Jock Landale (shoulder) has been ruled out against the Celtics on Friday.
Analysis: Landale was initially listed as questionable but has now officially been ruled out for this game. Mouhamed Gueye will likely fill out the backup center minutes behind Onyeka Okongwu with rookie Asa Newell in the G League. |

Fri, Mar 27, 2026, 9:13 AM
NBA Injury Report
Jock Landale (shoulder) is questionable for Friday's matchup with the Celtics.
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. |

CJ McCollum had 27 points (10-of-21 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), one rebound, five assists, one steal and five three-pointers in Wednesday's win over the Pistons.
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. |

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. |
