Rotoworld Player News

Zaccharie Risacher

ATL Forward #10

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Zaccharie Risacher (knee) is questionable for Saturday’s game against the Pacers.

Risacher has missed the last three weeks with a knee injury. The 20-year-old small forward has a chance to return Saturday given his questionable listing. If he remains out, Corey Kispert and Vit Krejčí will continue to see extra minutes, though neither are worth rostering in most fantasy leagues.
Jalen Johnson

ATL Forward #1

Jalen Johnson (calf) is questionable for Saturday’s game against the Pacers.

Johnson missed Thursday’s game against the Rockets with left calf tightness. He’s once again listed as questionable for the same injury Saturday against the Pacers. Corey Kispert moved into the starting lineup for Thursday’s game and had 17 points. He could start again if Johnson remains out, but isn’t worth rostering in most fantasy leagues.
CJ McCollum

ATL Guard #3

CJ McCollum led the Hawks with 23 points (9-of-19 FGs), five rebounds, two assists and five three-pointers in a 104-86 loss to the Rockets on Thursday.

For the third time in his last four games, McCollum finished with at least 20 points, though it wasn’t enough to keep the shorthanded Hawks’ winning streak alive. His tenure with the team got off to a shaky start, but he has picked up his production as of late. If they continue to play without Jalen Johnson (calf), McCollum’s shot creation will be vital to keeping this team afloat. He’ll look to keep it going against the Pacers on Saturday.
Christian Koloko

ATL Center #35

Christian Koloko started on Thursday and contributed six points (3-of-7 FGs), seven rebounds, two assists, one steal and one block against the Rockets.

With Onyeka Okongwu (mouth) sidelined for this game, Koloko got his first start as a Hawk. With Okongwu ruled out for Saturday’s game against Indiana, he should get the nod again in what will be a more favorable matchup for him. Koloko didn’t do much scoring, but he was decent on the glass and was able to contribute defensively. He’ll hold streaming upside in another start against the Pacers, but managers shouldn’t expect a monster performance.
Christian Koloko

ATL Center #35

Nickeil Alexander-Walker, Dyson Daniels, Vit Krejci, Corey Kispert and Christian Koloko will start against the Rockets on Thursday.

Atlanta will be incredibly shorthanded for this game, with Jalen Johnson (calf) and Onyeka Okongwu (mouth) both sidelined. Krejci and Koloko will join the starting group, and there should be extra minutes off the bench available for Mouhamed Gueye and Asa Newell.
Onyeka Okongwu

ATL Forward-Center #17

Onyeka Okongwu (mouth) will not be available for Saturday’s game against the Pacers.

Okongwu exited Wednesday’s game against the Celtics after being hit in the mouth by Jaylen Brown, resulting in a dental fracture that required surgery. As a result, he’ll miss at least two games, starting with Thursday’s matchup with the Rockets. Okongwu is considered day-to-day, and the Hawks will rely on Mouhamed Gueye and Christian Koloko to fill the resulting void.
Jalen Johnson

ATL Forward #1

Jalen Johnson (calf) has been ruled out against the Rockets on Thursday.

Johnson has been ruled out for the second leg of this back-to-back. Atlanta will be incredibly shorthanded for this game with Onyeka Okongwu (mouth) also sidelined. Mouhamed Gueye has shined as a starter in place of Johnson previously, though there should be plenty of minutes for Asa Newell as well.
Zaccharie Risacher

ATL Forward #10

Zaccharie Risacher (knee) is out for Thursday’s game against the Rockets.

Risacher hasn’t played since January 7th, but he does appear close to returning. In his absence, Corey Kispert and Luke Kennard should continue to play 20+ minutes.
Jalen Johnson

ATL Forward #1

Jalen Johnson is questionable for Thursday’s game against the Rockets with left calf tightness.

Johnson played 33 minutes in Wednesday night’s game against the Celtics and didn’t seem to suffer an injury, so this could be generic wear and tear. That being said, missing Johnson, who has emerged as a legit star this season, would be a big loss for the Hawks. Corey Kispert and Luke Kennard would likely see more minutes, with Nickiel Alexander-Walker and Dyson Daniels getting an uptick in usage.
Onyeka Okongwu

ATL Forward-Center #17

Onyeka Okongwu (mouth) has been ruled out for Thursday’s game against the Rockets.

Okongwu took an elbow to the face in Wednesday’s game against the Celtics and was left with a bloody mouth and fractured teeth. He had a procedure done on Thursday and will be held out for at least this game. Christian Koloko and Mouhamed Gueye figure to see an increase in minutes, but the usage should still run through the Hawks’ main playmakers.
