Brad Rowland
Jacob Toppin (shoulder) has been ruled out against the Clippers on Wednesday.
Analysis: Toppin has played less than 20 total minutes for the Hawks this year. His absence won't impact their rotation. |

Tue, Dec 2, 2025, 11:04 AM
Brad Rowland
Kristaps Porzi??is (illness) is out for Wednesday's game against the Clippers.
Analysis: Porzi??is will miss a fourth consecutive game due to illness. Onyeka Okongwu, who should already be rostered in most leagues, will remain in the starting lineup until Porzi??is is healthy enough to play. Mouhamed Gueye will pick up rotation minutes off the bench as Okongwu's backup. |

Nickeil Alexander-Walker NAW scores 16 in fourth, Hawks lose by one
Mon, Dec 1, 2025, 4:21 PM
Nickeil Alexander-Walker lit up the Pistons with 26 points (10-of-19 FGs), three rebounds, one assist, two steals and six three-pointers on Monday.
Analysis: NAW was able to have another big scoring night, and it mostly came in the fourth quarter. He scored 16 of his 26 points in the final frame, which included a triple with less than a few seconds left to make it a one-point game. Unfortunately, they came up short, but NAW just keeps on dominating. As long as Trae Young (knee) remains out, Alexander-Walker will continue to shine for fantasy managers. |

Onyeka Okongwu Onyeka Okongwu tallies 20/6/4/1/3 line vs. Detroit
Mon, Dec 1, 2025, 4:18 PM
Onyeka Okongwu posted a full line on Monday with 20 points (9-of-18 FGs), six rebounds, four assists, one steal, three blocks and two three-pointers against the Pistons.
Analysis: Okongwu started once again with Kristaps Porzi??is sidelined for a third straight outing. He was better as a scorer in this one after he shot 5-of-14 on Sunday, but he wasn't as effective on the glass. The Hawks were dominated on the boards, losing the rebounding battle 60-34. Okongwu has another tough matchup coming up next against Ivica Zubac on the Clippers on Wednesday. |

Jalen Johnson Jalen Johnson puts up 29/13/7 line vs. Detroit
Mon, Dec 1, 2025, 4:15 PM
Jalen Johnson recorded a double-double on Monday with 29 points (9-of-17 FGs, 7-of-8 FTs), 13 rebounds, seven assists and four three-pointers in a 99-98 loss to the Pistons.
Analysis: 24 hours after scoring a career-best 41 points in a double-overtime win, Johnson was able to turn in another masterclass performance, though it wasn't enough for Atlanta to add another victory. Johnson has been consistently incredible for fantasy managers, and with Trae Young (knee) still a couple weeks away, he'll continue to be a fantasy superstar. Next up on the schedule is the Clippers on Wednesday, |

Kristaps Porzingis Kristaps Porzi??is (illness) out Monday vs. DET
Mon, Dec 1, 2025, 8:11 AM
NBA Injury Report
Kristaps Porzi??is (illness) has been ruled out for Monday's matchup with the Pistons.
Analysis: Porzi??is will miss a third straight game, which should mean a third straight start for Onyeka Okongwu. Okongwu is a strong streaming option for as long as KP is sidelined, and Mouhamed Gueye should soak up backup big man minutes off the bench. |

Jalen Johnson Jalen Johnson stars with 41/14/7 in 2OT win
Sun, Nov 30, 2025, 4:22 PM
Jalen Johnson led the Hawks with 41 points (10-of-22 FGs, 17-of-22 FTs), 14 rebounds, seven assists, one steal, one block, four three-pointers and six turnovers in a 142-134 win over the 76ers on Sunday.
Analysis: Two days after recording a triple-double, Johnson set a new career high for scoring in a double-overtime win over Philadelphia. It was a spectacular showing, and Johnson was able to make an impact from beyond the arc, at the free throw line and at the rim to help the Hawks move to 13-8. With Trae Young (knee) set to miss at least two more weeks, Johnson will continue to be the star of the show. Johnson has been one of the best players in fantasy basketball this season, which will continue during Atlanta's upcoming four-game week. |

Nickeil Alexander-Walker NAW tallies 34/7/7/1/1 line with six triples
Sun, Nov 30, 2025, 4:16 PM
Nickeil Alexander-Walker lit up the 76ers with 34 points (11-of-22 FGs), seven rebounds, seven assists, one steal, one block and six three-pointers on Sunday.
Analysis: NAW wasn't able to match his career high for scoring, which he set less than two weeks ago, but he was able to have one of his best performances of the season. He has been an elite fill-in for Trae Young (knee) who is set to miss at least two more weeks. NAW will retain enough value to be rostered in standard leagues when Young returns, but he won't match this current run of production. Still, for now, Alexander-Walker will continue to be a star. |

Onyeka Okongwu Onyeka Okongwu puts up 10/13/6 line as starter
Sun, Nov 30, 2025, 4:13 PM
Onyeka Okongwu started on Sunday and contributed 10 points (5-of-14 FGs), 13 rebounds, six assists and one steal against the 76ers.
Analysis: Okongwu remained in the starting lineup with Kristaps Porzi??is sidelined once again. He wasn't as productive offensively as he has been in previous starts, but he was still able to record a double-double and have success as a playmaker. It wasn't a spectacular night for Okongwu, but he was able to nearly match his season high for rebounds. As long as Porzi??is is sidelined, Okongwu will continue to shine. |

Kristaps Porzingis Porzi??is (illness) out again vs. Philadelphia
Sat, Nov 29, 2025, 11:05 AM
Lauren Williams
Kristaps Porzi??is (illness) has been ruled out against the 76ers on Sunday.
Analysis: This will be a second straight absence for Porzi??is, which will mean another start for Onyeka Okongwu. OO has been elite as a starter and will once again be set up for a big night. Mouhamed Gueye should also see a few extra minutes as the backup center. |

Trae Young Trae Young (knee) to miss at least two more weeks
Sat, Nov 29, 2025, 8:22 AM
Hawks
Trae Young (knee) will miss at least two more weeks.
Analysis: Young is dealing with an MCL sprain in his right knee. It was reported that he'd be re-evaluated in four weeks at the beginning of the month, but now it'll be another two weeks before there's an update on the 27-year-old point guard's health. While Young was able to avoid an ACL injury and any structural damage to his knee, he's set to miss a solid portion of the season. |

Nickeil Alexander-Walker Alexander-Walker drops 28 points with five triples
Fri, Nov 28, 2025, 5:36 PM
Nickeil Alexander-Walker lit up the Cavaliers with 28 points (9-of-21 FGs), three rebounds, one assist, one steal, one block and five three-pointers on Friday.
Analysis: NAW has been an incredible fill-in for Trae Young (knee) this season, and he showed why once again in this game. This was his eighth game this season with at least 20 points, and he has more than doubled his scoring average from last season. In previous seasons, NAW had been more of a defensive specialist, but he has been getting it done on both ends of the floor this year. Even when Young returns, NAW should still maintain standard-league value. |

Jalen Johnson Jalen Johnson records 29/12/12 triple-double
Fri, Nov 28, 2025, 5:29 PM
Jalen Johnson led the Hawks with 29 points (9-of-18 FGs, 8-of-12 FTs), 12 rebounds, 12 assists, two steals and three three-pointers in a 130-123 win over the Cavaliers on Friday.
Analysis: Coming off his worst performance of the season in a blowout loss to the Wizards, Johnson was able to respond in a big way. His second triple-double of the season also featured his second-best mark for both points and assists this year. Johnson has been a fantasy superstar this year, and the return of Trae Young (knee) shouldn't drop his production significantly. |

Dyson Daniels Dyson Daniels produces 10/8/9/3 line vs. Cavs
Fri, Nov 28, 2025, 5:24 PM
Dyson Daniels stuffed the stat sheet on Friday with 10 points (5-of-8 FGs), eight rebounds, nine assists and three steals against the Cavaliers.
Analysis: Daniels was able to provide his typical dose of swipes, but the offensive production has been more notable. Scoring isn't going to be a strength for him consistently, but the playmaking is absolutely something that will stick, at least until Trae Young (knee) returns. Young is supposed to be re-evaluated soon, which should provide more clarity to when he'll be back in the lineup. Until then, Young should have more opportunities on offense. |

Onyeka Okongwu Onyeka Okongwu starting in place of Porzi??is
Fri, Nov 28, 2025, 1:42 PM
Atlanta Hawks
Nickeil Alexander-Walker, Dyson Daniels, Zaccharie Risacher, Jalen Johnson and Onyeka Okongwu will start against the Cavaliers on Friday.
Analysis: With Kristaps Porzi??is sidelined, Okongwu will unsurprisingly return to the starting lineup. He has been excellent in seven starts this year, averaging 20 points, 6.7 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 1.4 steals, 1.9 blocks and 2.7 three-pointers per game. |

Kristaps Porzingis Porzi??is (illness) ruled out vs. Cleveland
Fri, Nov 28, 2025, 11:47 AM
Atlanta Hawks
Kristaps Porzi??is (illness) has been ruled out against the Cavaliers on Friday.
Analysis: Porzi??is was a late addition to the injury report and has now officially been ruled out. Onyeka Okongwu should once again return to the starting lineup, where he has had plenty of success this season. Mouhamed Gueye will likely fill out the backup center minutes, though Okongwu will play most of the center minutes. |

Kristaps Porzingis Kristaps Porzingis (illness) questionable Friday
Fri, Nov 28, 2025, 9:09 AM
NBA Injury Report
Kristaps Porzingis (illness) is questionable for Friday's matchup with the Cavaliers.
Analysis: Porzingis is a late addition to the injury report, so he should be considered highly questionable to take the court against the Cavs. If KP is sidelined, Onyeka Okongwu could rejoin the starting five in his place. |

Dyson Daniels Dyson Daniels posts 11/9/7 line vs. Washington
Tue, Nov 25, 2025, 3:45 PM
Dyson Daniels finished Tuesday's loss to the Wizards with 11 points (5-of-11 FGs), nine rebounds, seven assists and one three-pointer.
Analysis: Despite not recording any defensive stats, Daniels provided solid value in the rebound and assist categories. Over the past two weeks, he has been a seventh-round player in 12-team, nine-cat formats, ranking just outside the top-75. While Trae Young's absence has not boosted Daniels' fantasy value to the heights some hoped, he's been better than he was at the start of the season. The Hawks play games on Friday and Sunday to end Week 6. |

Onyeka Okongwu Onyeka Okongwu hits three triples, scores 20
Tue, Nov 25, 2025, 3:44 PM
Onyeka Okongwu accumulated 20 points (8-of-14 FGs, 1-of-2 FTs), three rebounds, one block and three three-pointers in Tuesday's loss to the Wizards.
Analysis: Unsurprisingly, Okonwgu's return to the bench did not negatively impact his fantasy value. He's scored at least 20 points in six of his last seven appearances, providing top-15 value in nine-at formats during this stretch. While some fantasy managers may be tempted to sell high, a better course of action may be to hold onto him. Not only should Okongwu's production be considered, but also the injury history of starter Kristaps Porzi??is. |

Kristaps Porzingis Kristaps Porzi??is scores team-high 22 points
Tue, Nov 25, 2025, 3:44 PM
Kristaps Porzi??is recorded 22 points (7-of-13 FGs, 6-of-7 FTs), eight rebounds, one assist and two three-pointers in Tuesday's loss to the Wizards.
Analysis: Back in the lineup after sitting out Sunday's win over the Hornets, Porzi??is was one of the few Hawks to play well in Tuesday's blowout defeat. Despite having just five games with at least 20 points, he's closing in on top-25 value in nine-cat formats. Increased assist production has been a factor, with Porzi??is averaging a career-high 3.3 helpers per game. The Hawks still have two games to play after Thanksgiving, but the second is part of a Sunday/Monday back-to-back. |
