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. |

CJ McCollum CJ McCollum goes off for game-high 30 points
Sat, Mar 14, 2026, 11:22 AM
CJ McCollum produced 30 points (10-of-18 FGs, 3-of-4 FTs), three rebounds, two assists, one steal and seven three-pointers in Saturday's win over the Bucks.
Analysis: McCollum caught fire from deep in Saturday's 122-99 victory, shooting 7-of-10 from beyond the arc. This was his second 30-point effort since joining the Hawks, the first being a 38-point showing in a February 9 loss to the Timberwolves. Since moving into the starting lineup in the Hawks' third game out of the All-Star break, McCollum has averaged 17.8 points and 2.1 three-pointers per game. His field-goal percentage hasn't been the best, but managers needing points and three-pointers can benefit from rostering the veteran guard. |

Fri, Mar 13, 2026, 11:28 AM
NBA Injury Report
Dyson Daniels (toe) is off the injury report for Saturday's game against the Bucks.
Analysis: Daniels is back after sitting out Thursday's win over the Nets. Interestingly, the Hawks started Corey Kispert in Daniels' place, with the veteran forward playing 20 minutes. Daniels' return bumps Kispert to the bench. |

Jonathan Kuminga Jonathan Kuminga (knee) ruled out vs. Milwaukee
Fri, Mar 13, 2026, 11:24 AM
NBA Injury Report
Jonathan Kuminga (knee) is out for Saturday's game against the Bucks.
Analysis: Kuminga, who returned to action on Thursday after a three-game absence, will not play on Saturday for injury management reasons. Mouhamed Gueye should pick up rotation minutes off the bench, but there's no need to add him in redraft leagues. |

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. |

Thu, Mar 12, 2026, 11:47 AM
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. |

Dyson Daniels Dyson Daniels (toe) ruled out vs. Brooklyn
Thu, Mar 12, 2026, 11:43 AM
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. |
