Due to left patella tendinitis, Trent has been added to the Bucks’ injury report. A potential absence would free up additional minutes for AJ Green and Kevin Porter Jr. The latter offers a higher ceiling for managers needing offensive production, but Green should not be overlooked.

Young did plenty of passing in the first half of this game and entered halftime with 10 assists. Though he still added to that total after the break, he ended up doing more as a scorer in the second half. 22 of his 29 points came after the break as he fell one point shy of adding another 30-point, 10-assist game to his resume. This was his sixth-straight double-double, and he is now just 12 assists away from breaking the Hawks’ franchise record for assists in a season. He has had at least 12 assists in five consecutive game, so he could certainly break the record against Dallas on Wednesday.

Daniels had a spectacular first half on the offensive end and entered the break with 16 points without missing a shot. He wasn’t quite as effective in the second half, but he was still able to score 22 points for a second-straight game. This was also his 12th-straight game with at least two steals, which extends the longest steal streak this season by anyone in the NBA. He has been wreaking having on the defensive end all season and will look to keep that going over Atlanta’s final three games of the week.
