Jonathan Kuminga Jonathan Kuminga (knee) questionable vs. Dallas
Mon, Mar 9, 2026, 11:18 AM
NBA Injury Report
Jonathan Kuminga (knee) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Mavericks.
Analysis: Kuminga has missed Atlanta's last two games with inflammation in his left knee, resulting in more rotation minutes for fellow reserve Mouhamed Gueye. Gueye has not done enough to merit streaming in redraft leagues, so nothing will change if Kuminga plays on Tuesday. |

CJ McCollum CJ McCollum chips in with 17 points, seven dimes
Sat, Mar 7, 2026, 2:38 PM
CJ McCollum finished Saturday's win over the 76ers with 17 points (6-of-13 FGs, 4-of-6 FTs), three rebounds, seven assists, one steal and one three-pointer.
Analysis: McCollum has reached double figures in four straight and ten of his last 11 appearances, having moved into the Hawks' starting lineup six games ago. As a starter, the veteran guard has averaged 17.2 points, 3.8 rebounds, 4.8 assists and 1.7 three-pointers in just over 28 minutes per game. The issue for McCollum has been field-goal percentage, as he's made just 41.3 percent of his attempts over the last six games. The Hawks open a three-game Week 20 on Tuesday against the Mavericks. |

Nickeil Alexander-Walker Nickeil Alexander-Walker hits four triples vs. PHI
Sat, Mar 7, 2026, 2:38 PM
Nickeil Alexander-Walker tallied 24 points (8-of-15 FGs, 4-of-4 FTs), two rebounds, six assists, one steal and four three-pointers in Saturday's win over the 76ers.
Analysis: After scoring 23 points in Wednesday's rout of the Bucks, Alexander-Walker dropped an efficient 24 on the 76ers. Since the All-Star break, he has been a top-50 player in eight-cat formats, which aligns with his season-long production. Alexander-Walker has been one of the big surprises in fantasy basketball this season, with his value far exceeding his Yahoo! ADP (117). |

Jalen Johnson Jalen Johnson posts 35/10/7/2 line vs. 76ers
Sat, Mar 7, 2026, 2:37 PM
Jalen Johnson recorded 35 points (12-of-19 FGs, 9-of-9 FTs), 10 rebounds, seven assists, two steals and two three-pointers in Saturday's win over the 76ers.
Analysis: Johnson was the best player on the floor on Saturday, finishing three assists shy of a triple-double. The Hawks forward entered the game having totaled 33 points in his prior three appearances, shooting 12-of-30 from the field. For fantasy managers whose playoffs began with Week 19, this has not been a good time to have Johnson rostered, even with Saturday's robust stat line. After a two-game Week 19, the Hawks play three games in Week 20. |

Sat, Mar 7, 2026, 10:03 AM
NBA Injury Report
Jonathan Kuminga (knee) is out for Saturday's game against the 76ers.
Analysis: Initially questionable due to an inflamed left knee, Kuminga will miss a second consecutive game. Mouhamed Gueye may pick up a few more minutes off the bench, but he is not a player who should be rostered in fantasy leagues. |

NBA Injury Report
Jonathan Kuminga (knee) is questionable for Saturday's game against the 76ers.
Analysis: Kuminga did not play in Wednesday's win over the Bucks due to left knee inflammation. Mouhamed Gueye's playing time increased, but not to the point where he could affect fantasy basketball. |

CJ McCollum CJ McCollum drops 18 points, eight assists
Wed, Mar 4, 2026, 6:09 PM
CJ McCollum recorded 18 points (5-of-11 FGs, 6-of-6 FTs), two rebounds, eight assists, one steal, one block and two three-pointers in Wednesday's win over the Bucks.
Analysis: McCollum has started Atlanta's last five games, with the team's win over the Wizards on February 24 being the only one in which he legitimately struggled. Since the lineup change, CJ has been a top-100 player in eight-cat formats. Meanwhile, Zaccharie Risacher (12 points, four rebounds, two steals and four three-pointers) sits outside the top-200 since moving to the bench. McCollum should remain in the starting lineup for the rest of the season. |

Nickeil Alexander-Walker Alexander-Walker scores team-high 23 points
Wed, Mar 4, 2026, 6:09 PM
Nickeil Alexander-Walker amassed 23 points (9-of-14 FGs), one rebound, two assists, one steal and five three-pointers in Wednesday's win over the Bucks.
Analysis: While the overall stat line was a bit lean, Alexander-Walker's 23 points were the most in a game for him since hitting that number in a February 9 loss to the Timberwolves. Rostered in 59 percent of Yahoo! leagues, NAW's season-long fantasy value has remained high. Fantasy managers in 10-team leagues should make sure Alexander-Walker isn't sitting on the waiver wire, as he can be a difference-maker during the playoff weeks. |

Jalen Johnson Jalen Johnson produces 20 points, nine assists
Wed, Mar 4, 2026, 6:08 PM
Jalen Johnson accounted for 20 points (7-of-17 FGs, 5-of-7 FTs), five rebounds, nine assists, two steals and one three-pointer in Wednesday's win over the Bucks.
Analysis: While he didn't record one of his usual robust stat lines, Johnson finished Wednesday's victory one assist shy of a double-double and one block shy of a complete line. And after tallying eight points in his return to action on Sunday after missing time with a hip injury, Wednesday's effort was suitable. Johnson will look to end Week 19 on a high note when the Hawks host the 76ers on Saturday. |

Onyeka Okongwu Onyeka Okongwu records 21/8/1/3/3 stat line
Wed, Mar 4, 2026, 6:08 PM
Onyeka Okongwu finished Wednesday's win over the Bucks with 21 points (9-of-14 FGs, 0-of-2 FTs), eight rebounds, one assist, three steals, three blocks and three three-pointers.
Analysis: For the first time since mid-January, Okongwu has scored 20 points or more in consecutive games. He recorded a complete stat line in Milwaukee, with the lone issue being a 0-of-2 night from the foul line. Okongwu has provided third-round value in eight-cat formats since the All-Star break, which aligns with his season-long value. The Hawks play one more game in Week 19, as they host the 76ers on Saturday. |

Wed, Mar 4, 2026, 1:53 PM
Brad Rowland
Jonathan Kuminga (knee) is out for Wednesday's game against the Bucks.
Analysis: Added to the Hawks' injury report early Wednesday afternoon, Kuminga is out due to left knee inflammation. His absence frees up additional minutes for Mouhamed Gueye, who should not be streamed in most leagues. |

Jonathan Kuminga Jonathan Kuminga (knee) now questionable vs. Bucks
Wed, Mar 4, 2026, 8:04 AM
NBA Injury Report
Jonathan Kuminga (knee) is questionable to play against the Bucks on Wednesday.
Analysis: Kuminga wasn't initially on the injury report, but there is now a chance he is sidelined against Milwaukee. He has played well through three games with Atlanta, and his potential absence would open up extra minutes for Mouhamed Gueye to slide in as the backup power forward. |

Jonathan Kuminga Jonathan Kuminga contributes 20/7/3/2 stat line
Sun, Mar 1, 2026, 2:33 PM
Jonathan Kuminga finished Sunday's win over the Trail Blazers with 20 points (7-of-10 FGs, 5-of-7 FTs), seven rebounds, three assists, two steals and one three-pointer.
Analysis: While he's only played three games in his new home, Kuminga has looked incredibly comfortable with the Hawks. He's scored at least 17 points in all three appearances, including 20 or more in both games that he came off the bench. Kuminga scored 11 of his 20 on Sunday in the fourth quarter, helping the Hawks win the frame by a 32-16 margin. He's rostered in 43 percent of Yahoo! leagues, with the issue in the short term being that Atlanta plays just two games in Week 19. |

CJ McCollum CJ McCollum records 19 points, five assists
Sun, Mar 1, 2026, 2:31 PM
CJ McCollum notched 19 points (6-of-13 FGs, 5-of-6 FTs), two rebounds, five assists, one block and two three-pointers in Sunday's win over the Trail Blazers.
Analysis: While McCollum has averaged 17.0 points per game since moving into the Hawks' starting lineup, he has not shot the ball well. The veteran guard is making just 39.3 percent of his attempts since the lineup change, a big reason why he has only been an 11th-round player over the past week, according to Basketball Monster. That isn't terrible value, but fantasy managers were likely hoping for more when McCollum was moved into the starting lineup. |

Onyeka Okongwu Okongwu drops 25/10/6/2/1 line, seven triples
Sun, Mar 1, 2026, 2:31 PM
Onyeka Okongwu accounted for 25 points (9-of-15 FGs), 10 rebounds, six assists, two steals, one block and seven three-pointers in Sunday's win over the Trail Blazers.
Analysis: Portland's approach to defending Okongwu backfired spectacularly on Sunday. While he wasn't given complete free rein to fire away from beyond the arc, the Trail Blazers could have done more to make life difficult for the 6-foot-10 center. Okongwu made seven of his 12 attempts, one shy of his season-high. The Hawks center finished with a robust overall stat line, a great way to end Week 18. Unfortunately, Atlanta's Week 19 schedule is bad, as they only play two games. |

Nickeil Alexander-Walker Nickeil Alexander-Walker (foot) available Sunday
Sun, Mar 1, 2026, 10:28 AM
Nickeil Alexander-Walker (foot) is available for Sunday's game against the Trail Blazers.
Analysis: Alexander-Walker was listed as questionable with a left foot sprain after missing Thursday's win over the Wizards, but was ruled in for Sunday's game against the Trail Blazers. Zaccharie Risacher will likely head back to the bench with Alexander-Walker returning. |

Jalen Johnson Jalen Johnson (hip) available Sunday vs. Blazers
Sun, Mar 1, 2026, 10:24 AM
Jalen Johnson (hip) is available for Sunday's game against the Trail Blazers.
Analysis: Johnson was initially listed as questionable with a hip injury, but was ruled in for Sunday's game against the Trail Blazers. Jonathan Kuminga might move back to the bench with Johnson returning, but should still be rostered in most formats. |

Jalen Johnson Jalen Johnson (hip) questionable vs. Portland
Sat, Feb 28, 2026, 11:55 AM
NBA Injury Report
Jalen Johnson (hip) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Trail Blazers.
Analysis: Johnson's absence from the Hawks' lineup for Thursday's win over the Wizards resulted in a start for Jonathan Kuminga, who put up 17 points and nine rebounds as part of a complete stat line. Even if Johnson returns on Sunday, Kuminga should be rostered in 12-team leagues due to what he can provide off the bench. |

Nickeil Alexander-Walker Alexander-Walker (foot) questionable vs. Portland
Sat, Feb 28, 2026, 11:50 AM
NBA Injury Report
Nickeil Alexander-Walker (foot) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Trail Blazers.
Analysis: Alexander-Walker did not play in Thursday's win over the Wizards, having suffered a sprained left foot. His absence led to Zaccharie Risacher returning to the starting lineup, with C.J. McCollum serving as the primary playmaker. Risacher is not worth the risk in most redraft leagues, whether he starts or comes off the bench. |

Dyson Daniels Dyson Daniels turns in 13/4/11/5/1 line vs. WAS
Thu, Feb 26, 2026, 4:57 PM
Dyson Daniels stuffed the stat sheet on Thursday with 13 points (6-of-9 FGs), four rebounds, 11 assists, five steals, one block and one three-pointer against the Wizards.
Analysis: Daniels did a little bit of everything in this game, including finishing with at least 10 assists for the sixth time this season. He also matched his season high for steals. His scoring is down this season, but over his last three games, he has averaged 8.7 points, 7.3 rebounds, 8.7 assists and 2.7 steals per game. Daniels' game is built for category leagues, and he'll continue to provide plenty of boards, assists and steals for the rest of the year. |
