Aaron Wiggins

ATL Guard #2

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Aaron Wiggins provided a boost off the bench with 20 points (8-of-14 FGs), seven rebounds, three assists, one block and four three-pointers on Thursday against the Cavaliers.

Wiggins continued to shine off the bench for Atlanta. He has scored in double figures in every game this season, and after being held to just 10 points in Wednesday’s loss to the Heat, he responded with a new season high for scoring in this one. He has been excellent in fantasy basketball thus far, mostly because he is averaging 3.0 triples per game and has hit at least two shots from beyond the arc in every game this season.
Nickeil Alexander-Walker

ATL Guard #7

Nickeil Alexander-Walker lit up the Cavaliers with 25 points (8-of-17 FGs), three rebounds, one assist, one block and four three-pointers on Thursday.

24 hours after NAW scored 23 points in a loss to Miami, he was able to surpass that mark in a win. His scoring had been slightly down since he dropped 31 points in the season opener, but he has been able to get back on track as of late. Outside of a drop in free throw percentage, his production has been in line with what he did during last season’s breakout. If he continues to contribute at this level, he’ll be one of the better players in fantasy basketball once again.
Onyeka Okongwu

ATL Forward-Center #17

Onyeka Okongwu led the Hawks with 29 points (11-of-17 FGs), 12 rebounds, two assists, one steal, one block and four three-pointers in a 114-111 win over the Cavaliers on Thursday.

It has been a rough start to the year for Okongwu, but he was finally able to get things going in this game. Entering this game, his season high for scoring was 11 points, and he hadn’t recorded a double-double yet. This was by far his best performance of the year and hopefully a sign of things to come. He’ll look to keep it going against the Pelicans on Saturday.
Kingston Flemings

ATL Guard #4

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.

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

ATL Forward #1

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.

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

ATL Guard #7

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.

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

ATL Guard #2

Aaron Wiggins (knee) is available for Wednesday’s game against the Heat.

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

ATL Guard #2

Aaron Wiggins (knee) is probable to play against the Heat on Wednesday.

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

ATL Guard #2

Aaron Wiggins (knee) is questionable for Wednesday’s game against the Heat.

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

ATL Forward-Center #17

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.

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.
