Mouhamed Gueye Mouhamed Gueye doesn't miss, scores 16 points
Sat, Mar 21, 2026, 5:27 PM
Mouhamed Gueye tallied 16 points (6-of-6 FGs), 10 rebounds, two assists, three blocks and four three-pointers in Saturday's win over the Warriors.
Analysis: With Jalen Johnson (shoulder) sidelined, Gueye was moved into the starting lineup on Saturday. And he took advantage of the opportunity, not missing a shot while recording a double-double and blocking three shots. Jonathan Kuminga (2/4/2/1) struggled in a reserve role, shooting 1-of-9 from the field. Gueye's performance may be enough to keep him in the starting lineup if Johnson is not back for Monday's game against the Grizzlies. |

CJ McCollum CJ McCollum records 23 points, five assists
Sat, Mar 21, 2026, 5:27 PM
CJ McCollum accumulated 23 points (10-of-16 FGs, 2-of-4 FTs), three rebounds, five assists and one three-pointer in Saturday's win over the Warriors.
Analysis: Since the All-Star break, McCollum has provided ninth-round value in eight-cat formats. His production has been good enough to merit rostering in 12-team formats, and there's a chance CJ becomes more valuable in 10-team formats during Week 21. The Hawks play four games, and an extended absence for Jalen Johnson (shoulder) would change the equation for McCollum and the other healthy starters. |

Dyson Daniels Dyson Daniels posts 28/7/6/4 line vs. Warriors
Sat, Mar 21, 2026, 5:27 PM
Dyson Daniels amassed 28 points (12-of-17 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), seven rebounds, six assists, four steals and two three-pointers in Saturday's win over the Warriors.
Analysis: With no Jalen Johnson in the lineup, the Hawks needed more production from their available players, and Daniels delivered. One night removed from scoring three points in a loss to the Rockets, he put up a season-high tally against the Warriors. Add in the rebounds, assists and steals, and this was an excellent end to Week 21 for Daniels and the Hawks. Atlanta plays four games in Week 22, starting with Memphis on Monday. |

Mouhamed Gueye ATL starts NAW, McCollum, Daniels, Gueye, Okongwu
Sat, Mar 21, 2026, 1:38 PM
NBA Lineups
Nickeil Alexander-Walker, CJ McCollum, Dyson Daniels, Mouhamed Gueye and Onyeka Okongwu will start Saturday's game against the Warriors.
Analysis: The Hawks won't have Jalen Johnson (shoulder) for Saturday's game. It will be Gueye who fills the void in the starting lineup, with Jonathan Kuminga coming off the bench. The promotion gives Gueye a modest boost, but he is not worth the risk in redraft leagues. |

Jalen Johnson Jalen Johnson (shoulder) downgraded to out vs. GSW
Sat, Mar 21, 2026, 12:21 PM
NBA Injury Report
Jalen Johnson (shoulder) is out for Saturday's game against the Warriors.
Analysis: A late addition to the injury report, Johnson will not play against the Warriors. Jonathan Kuminga could move into the starting lineup, as he was the replacement the last time Johnson missed a game due to injury. |

Jalen Johnson Jalen Johnson (shoulder) questionable vs. Warriors

Kevin Chouinard
Jalen Johnson (shoulder) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Warriors.
Analysis: Absent from the Hawks' initial injury report for Saturday's game, Johnson is now considered questionable. Obviously, that is not the trend the Hawks or fantasy managers want to see. If Johnson can't play on Saturday, Jonathan Kuminga could make a spot start against his former team. |

Nickeil Alexander-Walker Nickeil Alexander-Walker scores team-high 21
Fri, Mar 20, 2026, 4:59 PM
Nickeil Alexander-Walker produced 21 points (6-of-12 FGs, 8-of-9 FTs), four rebounds, four assists, one steal and one three-pointer in Friday's loss to the Rockets.
Analysis: Alexander-Walker has scored 20 points or more in each of his last four appearances, as he continues to provide reliable fantasy value. Since the All-Star break, the Hawks' guard has provided second-round value in eight-cat formats. Even Jalen Johnson, who has been a first-round player for most of the season, has not been that productive for fantasy managers. The Hawks host the Warriors on Saturday in their final game of Week 21. |

Jalen Johnson Jalen Johnson limited to 14 points vs. Houston
Fri, Mar 20, 2026, 4:59 PM
Jalen Johnson tallied 14 points (6-of-12 FGs), five rebounds, three assists, one steal and two three-pointers in Friday's loss to the Rockets.
Analysis: Atlanta's 11-game win streak came to a screeching halt on Friday, with the Rockets doing a good job of limiting Johnson's overall impact. The three assists were the fewest he's had in a game that he's played at least 20 minutes since October 27. That alone is a reminder of how productive Johnson has been this season. It would be unsurprising if he rebounded with a big night against the Warriors on Saturday. |

Jonathan Kuminga Jonathan Kuminga (knee) ruled out vs. Houston
Thu, Mar 19, 2026, 12:10 PM
NBA Injury Report
Jonathan Kuminga (knee) is out for Friday's game against the Rockets.
Analysis: Friday's game is the first of two in as many nights for the Hawks, who host the Warriors on Saturday. Given the history between Kuminga and the Warriors, he should be expected to be available for that matchup. Mouhamed Gueye should step into the frontcourt rotation, but there's no need to stream him. |

Jalen Johnson Jalen Johnson posts 17/11/9/2 line vs. Dallas
Wed, Mar 18, 2026, 5:44 PM
Jalen Johnson produced 17 points (7-of-19 FGs, 1-of-2 FTs), 11 rebounds, nine assists, two steals and two three-pointers in Wednesday's win over the Mavericks.
Analysis: Johnson didn't have his best night shooting the basketball, but he finished one assist shy of a triple-double on Wednesday. Since the All-Star break, the Hawks' forward has provided second-round value in eight-cat formats, which aligns with his season-long value. And with Atlanta's 11-game win streak, they're now one game in the loss column out of sixth in the East. |

Nickeil Alexander-Walker Nickeil Alexander-Walker hits four triples
Wed, Mar 18, 2026, 5:43 PM
Nickeil Alexander-Walker recorded 22 points (8-of-14 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), one rebound, two assists, two steals, one block and four three-pointers in Wednesday's win over the Mavericks.
Analysis: Alexander-Walker has gotten his Week 21 off to an excellent start. After dropping a career-high 41 points on Monday, he helped extend Atlanta's win streak to 11 games with another quality showing on Wednesday. The overall stat line may have been modest, especially in comparison to what Alexander-Walker did on Monday, but there's no need for concern. Since the All-Star break, he has provided first-round value in eight-cat formats. |

CJ McCollum CJ McCollum scores team-high 24 points vs. Dallas
Wed, Mar 18, 2026, 5:43 PM
CJ McCollum tallied 24 points (9-of-14 FGs, 6-of-7 FTs), seven assists, two steals and one blocked shot in Wednesday's win over the Mavericks.
Analysis: After going off for 30 points in a March 14 win over the Bucks, McCollum crashed back to earth in Monday's win over the Magic. The good news for fantasy managers is that the veteran guard did not take long to turn things around, as he scored 24 points on good percentages against the Mavericks. Add in the assists, and many category league managers will be reasonably pleased with McCollum's showing on Wednesday. |

Jonathan Kuminga Jonathan Kuminga (knee) upgraded to available
Wed, Mar 18, 2026, 1:21 PM
NBA Injury Report
Jonathan Kuminga (knee) is available for Wednesday's game against the Mavericks.
Analysis: Kuminga is good to go after initially being listed as questionable for Wednesday's game. He'll take on his usual reserve role, which limits the Hawks' wing's fantasy value due to the limited playing time. |

Jonathan Kuminga Jonathan Kuminga (knee) questionable vs. Dallas
Tue, Mar 17, 2026, 12:23 PM
NBA Injury Report
Jonathan Kuminga (knee) is questionable to play against the Mavericks on Wednesday.
Analysis: Kuminga was back on Monday and contributed seven points and eight rebounds in 19 minutes off the bench. He'll likely play a similar role if he's available on Wednesday, which isn't enough for him to make much of a fantasy impact. Mouhamed Gueye will fill the minutes if Kuminga is out. |

Dyson Daniels Dyson Daniels grabs 12 rebounds vs. Orlando
Mon, Mar 16, 2026, 3:50 PM
Dyson Daniels tallied 15 points (6-of-9 FGs, 3-of-5 FTs), 12 rebounds, three assists, one steal and one blocked shot in Monday's win over the Magic.
Analysis: Daniels' second double-double in three games included a season-high 12 rebounds for the Hawks' guard. While his upside as a scorer is a bit limited, the fourth-year guard remains a valuable option in category leagues because of everything else that he brings to the table. After a slow start to the season, Daniels has been a fourth-round player in eight-cat formats since the All-Star break. |

Jalen Johnson Jalen Johnson records 24/15/13/1 line vs. Orlando
Mon, Mar 16, 2026, 3:49 PM
Jalen Johnson produced 24 points (10-of-19 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), 15 rebounds, 13 assists, one steal and two three-pointers in Monday's win over the Magic.
Analysis: On a night when Nickeil Alexander-Walker dropped a career-high 41 points, Johnson recorded his second triple-double in as many games and 13th of the season. The Hawks' star continues to provide elite fantasy value, and he has been a second-round player in eight-cat formats since the All-Star break. The Hawks play three more games in Week 21, starting with the Mavericks on Wednesday. |

Nickeil Alexander-Walker Alexander-Walker goes for career-high 41 points
Mon, Mar 16, 2026, 3:49 PM
Nickeil Alexander-Walker finished Monday's win over the Magic with 41 points (12-of-22 FGs, 8-of-9 FTs), seven rebounds, five assists, two steals and nine three-pointers.
Analysis: In a matchup of the two hottest teams in the NBA, Alexander-Walker and the Hawks extended their win streak to 10 games. One of the NBA's most-improved players, he recorded his first 40-point game and did so while shooting excellent percentages. Alexander-Walker was 9-of-15 from beyond the arc, and the 24 points he scored before halftime were a career-high for a half. While some cited Jalen Johnson's exponential growth as the biggest reason why the Hawks were willing to trade Trae Young, Alexander-Walker's exceeding expectations was also a factor. |

Jonathan Kuminga Jonathan Kuminga (knee) questionable vs. Orlando
Sun, Mar 15, 2026, 11:08 AM
NBA Injury Report
Jonathan Kuminga (knee) is questionable for Monday's game against the Magic.
Analysis: Kuminga was held out of Saturday's win over the Bucks for left knee injury management reasons. Mouhamed Gueye played 13 minutes off the bench, which isn't enough time for him to affect fantasy basketball. |

Jalen Johnson Jalen Johnson records 23/10/12 stat line vs. MIL
Sat, Mar 14, 2026, 11:24 AM
Jalen Johnson finished Saturday's win over the Bucks with 23 points (10-of-20 FGs, 1-of-2 FTs), 10 rebounds, 12 assists and two three-pointers.
Analysis: Johnson recorded his 12th triple-double of the season on Saturday, as he and the Hawks took advantage of a Bucks team that did not have Giannis Antetokounmpo. The Hawks' star forward has provided first-round fantasy value throughout the season, and he's shown no signs of slippage heading into the fantasy playoff weeks. The Hawks play four games in Week 21, starting with the Magic on Monday. |

Nickeil Alexander-Walker Nickeil Alexander-Walker tallies 20 points
Sat, Mar 14, 2026, 11:23 AM
Nickeil Alexander-Walker amassed 20 points (7-of-14 FGs, 3-of-3 FTs), three rebounds, one assist, three steals, one block and three three-pointers in Saturday's win over the Bucks.
Analysis: The Hawks have won nine straight games, and Alexander-Walker's production is one of the reasons why. He's scored 20 points or more in four of his last five appearances, and NAW has been a third-round player in nine-cat formats since the All-Star break. Thus far, Alexander-Walker has been one of the unsung heroes of fantasy basketball, based on his ADP and his production. |
