Dyson Daniels Dyson Daniels hits two triples, scores 18 points
Mon, Mar 30, 2026, 4:02 PM
Dyson Daniels recorded 18 points (8-of-11 FGs, 0-of-1 FTs), five rebounds, five assists, two steals and two three-pointers in Monday's win over the Celtics.
Analysis: For most perimeter players, shooting 2-of-3 from beyond the arc is not a big deal. That isn't the case for Daniels, who entered Monday shooting a career-low 15.5 percent from three. However, he may be trending in the right direction. Over his last five games, Daniels has made six of his 13 attempts, an excellent percentage for a player who has struggled as much as he has. Add in the rebounds, assists and steals, and this was an encouraging start to Week 23 for Daniels. |

Nickeil Alexander-Walker Nickeil Alexander-Walker dishes out six assists
Mon, Mar 30, 2026, 4:01 PM
Nickeil Alexander-Walker amassed 17 points (6-of-16 FGs, 2-of-3 FTs), four rebounds, six assists and three three-pointers in Monday's win over the Celtics.
Analysis: Four Hawks starters, including Alexander-Walker, finished Monday's victory with at least five assists. He didn't have the best night shooting the basketball, shooting 3-of-8 from two, but the rebounds, assists and three-pointers may have helped minimize the sting for some fantasy managers. Over the past two weeks, Alexander-Walker has shot 50.5 percent from the field, so Monday's performance should not cause much concern. |

Jalen Johnson Jalen Johnson posts 20/12/5 stat line vs. Boston
Mon, Mar 30, 2026, 4:00 PM
Jalen Johnson notched 20 points (7-of-13 FGs, 5-of-6 FTs), 12 rebounds, five assists and one three-pointer in Monday's win over the Celtics.
Analysis: Johnson has recorded a double-double in three of his last four games, with two being of the points/assists variety. The Hawks' star hit double digits in points and rebounds on Monday and was one of four starters to record at least five assists. The ball was moving well, especially in the third quarter, when the Hawks outscored the Celtics by a 36-22 margin. Johnson will have two more opportunities to put up numbers in Week 23, starting with the Magic on Wednesday. |

Onyeka Okongwu Onyeka Okongwu records 20/10/3/3/1 line vs. Boston
Mon, Mar 30, 2026, 4:00 PM
Onyeka Okongwu produced 20 points (7-of-14 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), 10 rebounds, three assists, three steals, one block and four three-pointers in Monday's win over the Celtics.
Analysis: Back in the Hawks' lineup after a one-game absence, Okongwu finished Monday's victory with his 16th double-double of the season and first since March 1. Also, before the win over the Celtics, he had not scored 20 points or more in a game since March 4 against the Bucks. With the decrease in scoring, Okongwu's fantasy value has taken a hit. Monday was a step in the right direction going into Wednesday's game against the Magic. |

Jock Landale Jock Landale (illness) ruled out vs. Boston
Mon, Mar 30, 2026, 11:50 AM
NBA Injury Report
Jock Landale (illness) is out for Monday's game against the Celtics.
Analysis: Landale, who started Saturday's win over the Kings, will not be available due to illness. Onyeka Okongwu is back after missing the last game with a finger injury, so he'll resume his usual duties as the starting center. Mouhamed Gueye likely slots in as the backup, but he is not worth the risk in most fantasy leagues. |

Sun, Mar 29, 2026, 11:19 AM
NBA Injury Report
Jonathan Kuminga (knee) is off the injury report for Monday's game against the Celtics.
Analysis: Kuminga is available after sitting out Saturday's win over the Kings. He'll provide additional depth off the bench, but that has not been enough to affect fantasy basketball on most nights. |

Onyeka Okongwu Onyeka Okongwu (finger) available vs. Boston
Sun, Mar 29, 2026, 11:15 AM
NBA Injury Report

Analysis: The Hawks will have their preferred starting five for Monday's game, as Okongwu and Dyson Daniels (toe) are back after sitting out Saturday's win over the Kings. Mouhamed Gueye and Jock Landale will head to the bench, limiting the fantasy value of both players. |

Jalen Johnson Jalen Johnson drops 26 points, 10 assists vs. SAC
Sat, Mar 28, 2026, 4:04 PM
Jalen Johnson amassed 26 points (11-of-22 FGs), five rebounds, 10 assists, one steal and four three-pointers in Saturday's win over the Kings.
Analysis: While Johnson entered Saturday averaging a career-high 1.7 three-pointers per game, that may be the one category where fantasy managers have not looked to him for high-level production. He closed Week 22 in fine form from beyond the arc, shooting 9-of-22 from three in Atlanta's last two games. Johnson finished Saturday's victory with his 44th double-double of the season, and he's scored at least 26 points in each of his last three games. |

CJ McCollum CJ McCollum tallies 22 points, five assists
Sat, Mar 28, 2026, 4:03 PM
CJ McCollum accounted for 22 points (9-of-18 FGs, 2-of-4 FTs), four rebounds, five assists, one steal and two three-pointers in Saturday's win over the Kings.
Analysis: McCollum has now scored at least 20 points in five of his last seven games. Against the Kings, the veteran guard provided solid value in rebounds and assists, along with points and percentages. The lone negative for McCollum managers is Atlanta's Week 23 schedule. In addition to being limited to three games, the Hawks are done for the week on Friday. Managers locked in a playoff battle should hold onto a transaction or two for the end of Week 23 and move on from McCollum then. |

Nickeil Alexander-Walker Nickeil Alexander-Walker scores game-high 27 pts
Sat, Mar 28, 2026, 4:03 PM
Nickeil Alexander-Walker recorded 27 points (7-of-14 FGs, 9-of-9 FTs), five rebounds, eight assists, four steals and four three-pointers in Saturday's win over the Kings.
Analysis: Alexander-Walker has been one of the most improved players in the NBA, benefiting both fantasy managers and the Hawks. He shot 4-of-9 from beyond the arc on Saturday, and the eight assists were the most in a game for him since February 7. Add in the rebounds and steals, and this was an excellent way for Alexander-Walker to end Week 22. The Hawks play three games in Week 23, which is championship week in Yahoo! default leagues. |

Jock Landale Jock Landale grabs season-high 13 rebounds vs. SAC
Sat, Mar 28, 2026, 4:02 PM
Jock Landale produced 19 points (7-of-11 FGs, 3-of-5 FTs), 13 rebounds, four assists, two blocks and two three-pointers in Saturday's win over the Kings.
Analysis: With Onyeka Okongwu (finger) sidelined, the Hawks called on Landale to fill the void in the middle on Saturday. As was the case last month, when Okongwu missed time due to a facial fracture, the veteran reserve stepped up. Landale recorded his second double-double since joining the Hawks in early February, and the 13 rebounds were a season-high. Atlanta opens a three-game Week 23 on Monday in Boston, and Landale will be worth streaming if Okongwu remains out. |

Sat, Mar 28, 2026, 11:46 AM
Kevin Chouinard
Jock Landale (shoulder) is available for Saturday's game against the Kings.
Analysis: Landale is good to go after missing Friday's loss to the Celtics. With Onyeka Okongwu (finger) out, Landale is likely to start, and he would be worth streaming in that scenario. |

Kevin Chouinard
Dyson Daniels (toe) is out for Saturday's game against the Kings.
Analysis: Daniels is officially out after being listed as questionable on the initial injury report. Zaccharie Risacher is the potential replacement in the starting lineup, giving the second-year a higher fantasy ceiling. |

Sat, Mar 28, 2026, 7:22 AM
NBA Injury Report
Jock Landale (shoulder) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Kings.
Analysis: Landale did not play in Friday's loss to the Celtics, leading to Mouhamed Gueye slotting into the backup center role. With Onyeka Okongwu (finger) out, one of those two will likely move into the starting lineup, with Landale offering a higher fantasy ceiling if available. |

Sat, Mar 28, 2026, 7:18 AM
NBA Injury Report
Dyson Daniels (toe) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Kings.
Analysis: Daniels, who played 32 minutes in Friday's loss to the Celtics, is dealing with a sprained left great toe. If he can't play against the Kings, Zaccharie Risacher could move back into the starting lineup. While he has not been the most reliable fantasy option, Risacher could be worth streaming in deep leagues, given the matchup. |

Jonathan Kuminga Jonathan Kuminga (knee) ruled out vs. Sacramento
Sat, Mar 28, 2026, 7:13 AM
NBA Injury Report
Jonathan Kuminga (knee) is out for Saturday's game against the Kings.
Analysis: Kuminga has not reached the point where he can play both games of back-to-backs, so he'll sit after logging 18 minutes off the bench in Friday's loss to the Celtics. Mouhamed Gueye, who played 10 minutes, may see his playing time increase, but that is not enough to make him a factor in fantasy basketball. |
|
Onyeka Okongwu Onyeka Okongwu (finger) ruled out vs. Sacramento
Sat, Mar 28, 2026, 7:09 AM
NBA Injury Report
Onyeka Okongwu (finger) is out for Saturday's game against the Kings.
Analysis: Okongwu is out with a sprained left index finger, which he suffered during Friday's loss to the Celtics. If Jock Landale (shoulder), who is questionable, can play, he'll likely move into the starting lineup. If not, Christian Koloko may receive the nod after being inactive on Friday. |

Nickeil Alexander-Walker NAW records 20/4/5/2 line in loss to Boston
Fri, Mar 27, 2026, 4:22 PM
Nickeil Alexander-Walker posted a solid line on Friday with 20 points (6-of-13 FGs), four rebounds, five assists, two steals and two three-pointers against the Celtics.
Analysis: NAW has had an incredible first season with the Hawks, but he has taken things up a notch in March. He has scored at least 20 points in seven of his last eight games and averaged 23.5 points, 3.4 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 1.6 steals and 3.5 triples while shooting 53.6 percent from the floor, 50 percent from deep and 93 percent from the free throw line. He's making a strong push for the Most Improved Player award and will look to stay hot against the Kings on Saturday. |

CJ McCollum CJ McCollum scores 21 points in loss to Boston
Fri, Mar 27, 2026, 4:15 PM
CJ McCollum finished with 21 points (8-of-20 FGs), five rebounds, two assists and three three-pointers against the Celtics on Friday.
Analysis: McCollum wasn't able to match his 27-point effort from Wednesday's win, but he was able to score at least 20 points for the fourth time in his last six games. This was only the Hawks' third loss since the All-Star break, and McCollum has filled in well with this team, which has led to him having some productive outings for fantasy managers. He'll look to keep it going against the Kings on Saturday. |
