Rotoworld Player News

Onyeka Okongwu

ATL Forward-Center #17

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Onyeka Okongwu (mouth) produced 17 points (6-of-12 FGs, 3-of-4 FTs), six rebounds, three assists, two steals, one block and two three-pointers in Wednesday’s win over the Celtics.

Okongwu left Wednesday’s game with 6:43 remaining due to a shot to the mouth that he took from Boston’s Jaylen Brown. Okongwu would make his two free throws before heading back to the locker room, and he did not return. The overall production from the Hawks’ center was good, so fantasy managers didn’t lose out on too much due to Okongwu’s premature departure. The Hawks host the Rockets on Friday; hopefully, the mouth injury doesn’t cost him any time.
Dyson Daniels

ATL Guard #5

Dyson Daniels recorded 15 points (7-of-11 FGs), six rebounds, nine assists, five steals, one block and one three-pointer in Wednesday’s win over the Celtics.

Wednesday’s stat line was what fantasy managers have hoped to see from Daniels consistently. In addition to the efficient shooting, he was effective as a rebounder and distributor, and the defensive production was elite. The six “stocks” were triple Daniels’ total in his prior three games. Compared to last season, the steals production has taken a hit, but Daniels remains capable of putting up a high number in that category.
Jalen Johnson

ATL Forward #1

Jalen Johnson dropped 19 points (6-of-16 FGs, 4-of-6 FTs), 14 rebounds, seven assists and three three-pointers in Wednesday’s win over the Celtics.

Johnson finished Wednesday’s victory with another quality stat line, recording his fourth double-double in five games. His production across the board makes the Hawks’ forward one of the best players in fantasy basketball, providing first-round value in nine-cat formats. Johnson and the Hawks host the Rockets on Friday, the first of two games Atlanta will play before the end of Week 15.
Nickeil Alexander-Walker

ATL Guard #7

Nickeil Alexander-Walker accounted for 21 points (7-of-15 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), one rebound, three assists, three steals and five three-pointers in Wednesday’s win over the Celtics.

Alexander-Walker led five Hawks starters in double figures on Wednesday. And for the first time in over two weeks, he’s recorded consecutive 20-point games. Rostered in 54 percent of Yahoo! leagues, Alexander-Walker has been a revelation in fantasy basketball, providing top-50 per-game value in eight- and nine-cat formats according to Basketball Monster. More 10-team league managers need to hop onto the Alexander-Walker bandwagon, as he’ll remain a fixture in the Hawks’ starting lineup for the foreseeable future.
Zaccharie Risacher

ATL Forward #10

Zaccharie Risacher (knee) is out for Wednesday’s game against the Celtics.

Risacher has been out for the better part of the last month with a knee injury. That absence will extend to Wednesday’s game against the Celtics. With Risacher still out, Corey Kispert and Vit Krejčí will continue to see extra minutes, though neither are worth rostering in most fantasy leagues.
Christian Koloko

ATL Center #35

Christian Koloko turned in 12 points, four rebounds, an assist and three blocked shots across 17 minutes in Monday’s win over Indiana.

Koloko backed up Onyeka Okongwu (12/10/2 with a block in 31 minutes) at center, and he logged more minutes than Mouhamed Gueye (seven points and six rebounds in 13 minutes). Koloko is on a two-way deal, but he could see meaningful minutes until Kristaps Porziņǵis (Achilles) returns to the lineup. The former is worth a look in deep leagues only.
Jalen Johnson

ATL Forward #1

Jalen Johnson contributed 15 points (5-of-19 FG), seven rebounds, six assists, four steals, a block and a three-pointer across 35 minutes in Monday’s 132-116 win over the Pacers.

Johnson couldn’t get it going as a scorer, but he did everything else in the box score, and fantasy managers ended up with another strong performance. Johnson will look to get back on track from an efficiency standpoint when the Hawks face the Celtics on Wednesday.
CJ McCollum

ATL Guard #3

CJ McCollum posted 23 points, eight rebounds, seven assists, two steals, a block and five three-pointers across 28 minutes in Monday’s win over the Pacers.

McCollum hasn’t had trouble offering strong scoring numbers off the bench, but Monday’s final stat line represents arguably his best all-around performance in a Hawks uniform. Fantasy managers who rolled with McCollum were treated to a team-high point total, meaningful counting stats, strong defensive contributions and a flurry of triples.
Zaccharie Risacher

ATL Forward #10

According to the Atlanta Hawks’ official X.com account, Zaccharie Risacher is progressing well in his recovery and is considered day-to-day.

Risacher is nearing a return after nearly three weeks on the shelf, but until he’s back, Corey Kispert and Vit Krejčí should see increased run. Despite the bump in playing time, neither Kispert nor Krejčí are worth a look outside of deep fantasy leagues.
Kristaps Porziņģis

ATL Forward-Center #8

According to the Atlanta Hawks’ official X.com account, Kristaps Porziņǵis (Achilles) will be re-evaluated in one week.

Porziņǵis is participating in basketball activity, but he’s still at least a week away from returning to the court. Onyeka Okongwu has been soaking up minutes in KP’s absence, and he’s been a strong producer for fantasy managers. Mouhamed Gueye has earned some additional backup minutes, but he’s only worth a look in deep leagues.
