Jalen Johnson Jalen Johnson turns in 21/9/9/2 line vs. Brooklyn
Thu, Mar 12, 2026, 4:32 PM
Jalen Johnson led the Hawks with 21 points (7-of-15 FGs), nine rebounds, nine assists, two steals and four three-pointers in a 108-97 win over the Nets on Thursday.
Analysis: Triple-doubles have eluded Johnson this month, but this was another near miss for him. Still, he was able to stuff the stat sheet once again in another win for Atlanta. They currently own the longest winning streak in the NBA at eight games, though it's worth noting they've only played on away game during this streak. Still, Johnson has been fantastic, and he'll look to stay hot against the Bucks on Saturday to wrap up the week. |

Jonathan Kuminga Jonathan Kuminga (knee) grabs nine rebounds
Thu, Mar 12, 2026, 4:27 PM
Jonathan Kuminga returned to the lineup on Thursday and finished with two points (0-of-4 FGs), nine rebounds and two assists against the Nets.
Analysis: Following a three-game absence with a knee injury, Kuminga returned to the lineup, and while Atlanta's winning streak stayed alive, he wasn't as productive as his previous appearances for Atlanta. He averaged 21.3 points across his first three games for the Hawks, but his only two points in this game came at the free throw line. It was good to see Kuminga log 19 minutes in his first game back, but it's clear he won't be a 20-point scorer consistently. |

Corey Kispert ATL starting McCollum, NAW, Kispert, Johnson, OO
Thu, Mar 12, 2026, 1:08 PM
Kevin Chouinard
CJ McCollum, Nickeil Alexander-Walker, Corey Kispert, Jalen Johnson and Onyeka Okongwu will start against the Nets on Thursday.
Analysis: Kispert will get the starting nod in place of Dyson Daniels (toe), who is sidelined for this game. Kispert started six games for Atlanta in January but has come off the bench since then. He can provide some three-pointers in extra minutes, but that isn't guaranteed. He is a low-upside streaming option. |

Atlanta Hawks
Jonathan Kuminga (knee) is available to play against the Nets on Thursday.
Analysis: Kuminga will be back after missing the last three games with left knee inflammation. With Dyson Daniels (toe) sidelined, Kuminga has a chance to start, though he will at least see a bump in minutes off the bench. |

Atlanta Hawks
Dyson Daniels (toe) has been ruled out against the Nets on Thursday.
Analysis: Daniels will miss a game for the first time since before the All-Star break, opening up a spot in the starting unit. Zaccharie Risacher, Corey Kispert and Jonathan Kuminga, who is returning following a three-game absence, are all candidates to start, though there should be extra minutes for all three regardless. |

Analysis: Atlanta won a seventh straight game in this one, and during that stretch, Daniels has averaged 11.6 points, 7.7 rebounds, 7.1 assists, 2.6 steals and 0.6 turnovers per game while shooting 59.4 percent from the floor. He has been incredible and a big reason why Atlanta has had recent success. He has his obvious limitations, but Daniels has been producing at an incredibly high level as of late regardless. |

Nickeil Alexander-Walker NAW scores game-high 29 points with five triples
Tue, Mar 10, 2026, 5:03 PM
Nickeil Alexander-Walker led the Hawks with 29 points (12-of-19 FGs), two rebounds, three assists, two steals, one block and five three-pointers in a 124-112 win over the Mavericks on Tuesday.
Analysis: NAW has been fantastic all season, but he did hit a bit of a rough patch in February. However, he has gotten back on track recently. Over his last three games, he has averaged 25.3 points and 4.7 triples per game while shooting 60.4 percent from the floor, and this was his highest-scoring outing since January. NAW will look to stay hot against the Nets on Thursday. |

Jalen Johnson Jalen Johnson tallies 27/7/8/1/2 line vs. Dallas
Tue, Mar 10, 2026, 5:01 PM
Jalen Johnson stuffed the stat sheet on Tuesday with 27 points (10-of-18 FGs), seven rebounds, eight assists, one steal, two blocks and two three-pointers against the Mavericks.
Analysis: Johnson had a fewer rough performances by his lofty standards since the All-Star break, but he has gotten back on track recently. They only have two more games this week, but he will continue to fill it up in the box score every night. The Hawks have won seven games in a row and will look to keep that up against the Nets on Thursday, which is another favorable matchup for Johnson. |

Onyeka Okongwu Onyeka Okongwu turns in 18/10/2/1/4 line vs. Mavs
Tue, Mar 10, 2026, 4:51 PM
Onyeka Okongwu posted a full line on Tuesday with 18 points (7-of-12 FGs), 10 rebounds, two assists, one steal, four blocks and three three-pointers against the Mavericks.
Analysis: Saturday's win over the 76ers was a quieter performance for Okongwu, but he was able to get back on track in this one. Over his last seven games, he has five double-doubles and has been able to contribute plenty of steals and blocks during that stretch. He hasn't been a strong rebounder this season, but he has been more impactful on the glass in recent weeks, leading to elite fantasy production. |

Jonathan Kuminga Jonathan Kuminga (knee) downgraded to out vs. DAL
Tue, Mar 10, 2026, 11:42 AM
Brad Rowland
Jonathan Kuminga (knee) is out for Tuesday's game against the Mavericks.
Analysis: Kuminga will miss a third consecutive game as he continues to deal with left knee inflammation. His absence has freed up rotation minutes for Mouhamed Gueye, but the third-year forward has not been productive enough to merit rostering in redraft leagues. |

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. |

Jonathan Kuminga Jonathan Kuminga (knee) downgraded to out vs. PHI
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. |
