Rotoworld Player News

Jonathan Kuminga

ATL Forward #0

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Jonathan Kuminga (knee) is questionable for Tuesday’s game against the Mavericks.

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

ATL Guard #3

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.

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

ATL Guard #7

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.

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

ATL Forward #1

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.

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

ATL Forward #0

Jonathan Kuminga (knee) is out for Saturday’s game against the 76ers.

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.
Jonathan Kuminga

ATL Forward #0

Jonathan Kuminga (knee) is questionable for Saturday’s game against the 76ers.

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

ATL Guard #3

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.

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

ATL Guard #7

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.

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.
Jalen Johnson

ATL Forward #1

Jalen Johnson accounted for 20 points (7-of-17 FGs, 5-of-7 FTs), five rebounds, nine assists, two steals and one three-pointer in Wednesday’s win over the Bucks.

While he didn’t record one of his usual robust stat lines, Johnson finished Wednesday’s victory one assist shy of a double-double and one block shy of a complete line. And after tallying eight points in his return to action on Sunday after missing time with a hip injury, Wednesday’s effort was suitable. Johnson will look to end Week 19 on a high note when the Hawks host the 76ers on Saturday.
Onyeka Okongwu

ATL Forward-Center #17

Onyeka Okongwu finished Wednesday’s win over the Bucks with 21 points (9-of-14 FGs, 0-of-2 FTs), eight rebounds, one assist, three steals, three blocks and three three-pointers.

For the first time since mid-January, Okongwu has scored 20 points or more in consecutive games. He recorded a complete stat line in Milwaukee, with the lone issue being a 0-of-2 night from the foul line. Okongwu has provided third-round value in eight-cat formats since the All-Star break, which aligns with his season-long value. The Hawks play one more game in Week 19, as they host the 76ers on Saturday.
