Xavier Cooks Kingston Flemings has 23/5/5/1/1 line in loss vs.MIA
Wed, Oct 28, 2026, 7:18 PM
Kingston Flemings had 23 points (9-of-12 FGs, 2-of-3 FTs), five rebounds, five assists, one steal, one block and three three-pointers against the Heat on Wednesday.
Analysis: Flemings came off the bench, played 28 minutes and had the best game of his young career so far. The 19-year-old rookie was impressive with 23 points on 12 attempts from the field and a full stat line. Flemings ended up playing more minutes than starter CJ McCollum, but don't expect that to continue. Timing Flemings' next outstanding performance will be difficult given his inconsistent playing time, making him more of a priority in dynasty formats. |
Jalen Johnson Jalen Johnson has 12/9/11 line in loss vs. Heat
Wed, Oct 28, 2026, 4:39 PM
Jalen Johnson had 12 points (4-of-12 FGs, 2-of-3 FTs), nine rebounds, 11 assists, two blocks and two three-pointers in Wednesday's game against the Heat.
Analysis: Johnson was just one rebound shy of a triple-double. While that makes for a somewhat solid stat line, he also shot 4-of-12 from the field and was -23 in 36 minutes in a 12-point loss at home to the Heat, who entered play Wednesday winless. It'll be a quick turnaround for Johnson as the Hawks take on the Cavaliers at home Thursday. |
Nickeil Alexander-Walker Nickeil Alexander-Walker has 23 points in loss
Wed, Oct 28, 2026, 4:30 PM
Nickeil Alexander-Walker had 23 points (8-of-18 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), three rebounds, one assist, one steal and five three-pointers against the Heat on Wednesday.
Analysis: Alexander-Walker led the Hawks with 23 points, breaking a stretch of three consecutive games where he fell short of at least 20 points. He's made at least four three-pointers in three of five games so far this season. Alexander-Walker averaged a career-high 3.2 made three-pointers per game last season and he's carried his outside shooting success into this year. |
Aaron Wiggins Aaron Wiggins (knee) upgraded to available Weds.
Wed, Oct 28, 2026, 11:07 AM
NBA Injury Report
Aaron Wiggins (knee) is available for Wednesday's game against the Heat.
Analysis: Wiggins is good to go after being listed as probable on the Hawks' initial injury report. He's averaging nearly 16 points per game so far, so managers in deeper leagues may get value from rostering Wiggins while he's performing well. |

Aaron Wiggins Aaron Wiggins (knee) now probable vs. Miami
Wed, Oct 28, 2026, 6:31 AM
Kevin Chouinard
Aaron Wiggins (knee) is probable to play against the Heat on Wednesday.
Analysis: Wiggins was initially listed as questionable, but he is now expected to suit up against Miami. He has been a valuable piece off the bench for the Hawks so far this season and should continue to play a significant reserve role, where he has averaged 15.8 points per game this season. |

Aaron Wiggins Aaron Wiggins (knee) questionable Wednesday
Tue, Oct 27, 2026, 11:13 AM
NBA Injury Report
Aaron Wiggins (knee) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Heat.
Analysis: Wiggins, who has averaged 15.8 points per game through four appearances, is dealing with a left knee contusion. If he can't play on Wednesday, Corey Kispert could slide into the back end of the Hawks' rotation. |
Onyeka Okongwu Onyeka Okongwu posts 11/9/1/2/1 line vs. Houston
Mon, Oct 26, 2026, 5:42 PM
Onyeka Okongwu posted a full line on Monday with 11 points (5-of-10 FGs), nine rebounds, one assist, two steals, one block and one three-pointer against the Rockets.
Analysis: To put it mildly, it has been a rough start to the year for Okongwu. This was his best performance of the year as he posted season highs in points, rebounds and steals. That isn't saying much, but his lack of minutes has been the biggest concern. Only one game was impacted by a blowout, but he is currently averaging 4.5 fewer minutes per game that what he saw last season. Unless that changes, he won't be able to make as much of an impact as he did last year. |
CJ McCollum CJ McCollum scores season-high 20 points vs. HOU
Mon, Oct 26, 2026, 5:38 PM
CJ McCollum lit up the Rockets with 20 points (8-of-16 FGs), one rebound, three assists, three steals and four three-pointers on Monday.
Analysis: McCollum has been a solid source of offense for the Hawks since they traded for him last season. So far this year, his production has been underwhelming, but this ended up being his best scoring performance of the season. He has been efficient as a scorer, but the lack of volume has prevented him from making much of an impact for fantasy managers. Still, as a starter, he'll continue to produce standard-league value. |

Jalen Johnson Jalen Johnson produces 21/9/4/2/2 line vs. Houston
Mon, Oct 26, 2026, 5:31 PM
Jalen Johnson led the Hawks with 21 points (5-of-14 FGs, 10-of-12 FTs), nine rebounds, four assists, two steals, two blocks and one three-pointer in a 120-110 loss to the Rockets on Monday.
Analysis: It wasn't as dominant of a performance as he put together against Houston on Saturday, but Johnson was still able to provide value across the board in the rematch. However, that didn't change the result on the scoreboard. Johnson will continue to stuff the stat sheet for Atlanta, which has allowed him to be one of the best players in fantasy basketball so far this season despite a rough start shooting the ball. |

CJ McCollum CJ McCollum scores 17 points in loss to Rockets
Sat, Oct 24, 2026, 5:46 PM
CJ McCollum finished with 17 points (7-of-14 FGs), two rebounds, one assist and one three-pointer against the Rockets on Saturday.
Analysis: McCollum has been a solid scorer for Atlanta so far this season, though he hasn't contributed much value in other categories. 14 of his 17 points in this game came in the second half, but that wasn't enough for them to get the win. McCollum should provide more assists than he has to this point, but in category leagues, the buckets are the only thing he'll provide consistently. |

Aaron Wiggins Aaron Wiggins chips in 16/5/2/1/1 off bench
Sat, Oct 24, 2026, 5:43 PM
Aaron Wiggins provided a boost off the bench with 16 points (6-of-13 FGs), five rebounds, two assists, one steal, one block and four three-pointers against the Rockets on Saturday.
Analysis: The Man Who Saved Basketball has been fantastic for the Hawks this season. He fell out of the rotation in Oklahoma City but has been a key reserve early on for Atlanta this season. He has scored at least 15 points in every game and is averaging 17 points, 1.7 steals and 3.3 three-pointers per game while shooting 58.1 percent from the floor. As a backup, Wiggins may not be able to keep up this pace, but he should hold streaming appeal if he gets a spot start from time to time. For now, he'll just continue to be a high-level backup. |

Jalen Johnson Jalen Johnson posts 26/9/16/2 line in loss
Sat, Oct 24, 2026, 5:37 PM
Jalen Johnson led the Hawks with 26 points (8-of-19 FGs, 8-of-10 FTs), nine rebounds, 16 assists, two steals and two three-pointers in a 121-114 loss to the Rockets on Saturday.
Analysis: The Hawks dropped a game for the first time this season, but Johnson was still fantastic for fantasy managers. His field goal percentage was subpar, but the near triple-double made up for it, especially since he matched his career high for assists. Johnson's shooting percentage has been rough in two of Atlanta's three games so far, but he is currently averaging a triple-double, which has allowed him to be one of the best players in fantasy basketball to this point. |

Jalen Johnson Jalen Johnson has 19/7/8/3/1 line in win vs. Hornets
Fri, Oct 23, 2026, 4:36 PM
Jalen Johnson had 19 points (9-of-16 FGs, 1-of-1 FTs), seven rebounds, eight assists, three steals and one block in Friday's game against the Hornets.
Analysis: With less than two minutes left in the first half, Dyson Daniel hit the floor for one of his seven steals, leading to a Jalen Johnson alley-oop dunk on the other end. That pretty much encapsulates how the night went for the Hawks as Johnson led the team in scoring with 19 in the 128-81 blowout win. Johnson showed he was able to move past the extracurriculars with the Magic on Wednesday with his usual excellent performance against the Hornets. |
Dyson Daniels Dyson Daniels has seven steals in 23 minutes Friday
Fri, Oct 23, 2026, 4:25 PM
Dyson Daniels had 11 points (5-of-10 FGs, 1-of-3 FTs), nine rebounds, four assists, seven steals and one block in the Hawks' 128-81 victory over the Hornets on Friday.
Analysis: Daniels has now recorded at least five steals in consecutive games to start the season. The 23-year-old point guard leads the NBA in steals since the beginning of the 2024-25 season. The question is no longer whether he'll lead the league in steals again this year, but by how many. |
Jock Landale Jock Landale (nose) available Friday vs. Charlotte
Fri, Oct 23, 2026, 6:08 AM
NBA Injury Report
Jock Landale (nose) is available for Friday's game against the Hornets.
Analysis: Landale, who played 19 minutes off the bench in Wednesday's win over the Magic, is dealing with a broken nose. He'll take on his usual responsibilities as Onyeka Okongwu's backup, which limits the veteran center's fantasy value. |

Dyson Daniels Dyson Daniels has 20 points, five steals in win
Wed, Oct 21, 2026, 4:15 PM
Dyson Daniels had 20 points (8-of-13 FGs, 4-of-6 FTs), four rebounds, three assists and five steals against the Magic on Wednesday.
Analysis: Daniels averaged two steals last year and three steals two years ago, which led the league. Sometimes it feels like he gets five steals per game, but that was actually his total from Wednesday's win over the Magic. Only the Thunder's Cason Wallace had more steals than Daniels last year, though Daniels seems destined to reclaim his spot among the steals leaders this season. He was also able to score 20 points and if he keeps that up, he'll be a lock for the top-50 this season. |

Jalen Johnson Jalen Johnson has 20/14/6 line in win over Magic
Wed, Oct 21, 2026, 4:10 PM
Jalen Johnson had 20 points (7-of-19 FGs, 6-of-7 FTs), 14 rebounds and six assists against the Magic on Wednesday.
Analysis: Double-doubles are nothing new for Johnson as the 24-year-old forward has averaged at least 10 rebounds in each of the last two seasons. He pulled down 14 rebounds Wednesday against the Magic and scored 20 points for his first double-double of the season. Johnson was involved in a play where he appeared to crash into Magic guard Desmond Bane with his elbow and later had to be separated from Paolo Banchero, who was presumably letting him hear about it on the court after the game. |

Nickeil Alexander-Walker Nickeil Alexander-Walker has 31 points in win vs. ORL
Wed, Oct 21, 2026, 4:02 PM
Nickeil Alexander-Walker had 31 points (8-of-15 FGs, 10-of-13 FTs), four rebounds, three assists, one steal, one block and five three-pointers in Wednesday's 132-125 victory over the Magic.
Analysis: Alexander-Walker averaged 20.8 points in his first season with the Hawks and started his second year in Atlanta by dropping 31 on the Magic. Two of his five three-pointers came with less than two minutes left in the fourth quarter to help seal the win. Alexander-Walker is coming off his best season in the NBA and the 28-year-old guard appears to still be ascending. |

Aaron Wiggins Aaron Wiggins has 19 points in win over Mavericks
Fri, Oct 16, 2026, 5:44 PM
Aaron Wiggins had 19 points (6-of-13 FGs, 3-of-4 FTs), seven rebounds, two assists and four three-pointers in Friday's exhibition against the Mavericks.
Analysis: Wiggins was feeling it as he dropped 19 points in 22 minutes off the bench in the preseason finale against the Mavericks. Despite the strong effort, this level of production is unlikely to carry over to the regular season given the crowded Hawks backcourt rotation. |

Xavier Cooks Zuby Ejiofor records 15 points, nine rebounds
Mon, Oct 12, 2026, 3:44 PM
Zuby Ejiofor accounted for 15 points (5-of-9 FGs, 4-of-4 FTs), nine rebounds, three assists, one block and one three-pointer in Monday's exhibition against the Thunder.
Analysis: The Hawks didn't play Onyeka Okongwu on Monday, so the available big men moved up a spot in the rotation. Ejiofor, the 23rd overall pick in June's draft, finished one rebound shy of a double-double in 23 minutes. With Jock Landale in the fold, Ejiofor is in line to be the third center, but there may be some minutes available at the four, depending on the matchup. For now, he's more valuable in dynasty leagues than redraft leagues. |
