Vit

Krejci

This will be the second straight game on the sideline for Johnson, who also missed Saturday’s loss to the Clippers. Vit Krejci started that one but offered little value in that role. While Garrison Mathews is also a risky play, he provides a higher upside than Krejci, even if he comes off the bench.

With Jalen Johnson (shoulder) sitting out the second game of Atlanta’s back-to-back, Krejci received the starting nod against the Clippers. He hit a few 3-pointers, but that was about it regarding value. Garrison Mathews was more productive off the bench, hitting four triples and finishing with 15 points, eight rebounds, three assists, and two steals in 25 minutes. With Johnson likely returning for Tuesday’s game against the Jazz, there’s no need to add Krejci or Mathews. The latter offers greater streaming value when the Hawks are shorthanded.

The Hawks are without Jalen Johnson (shoulder) for Saturday’s game, so Krejci will start against the Clippers. He’s offered minimal fantasy value in prior starts, and there’s little reason to expect anything different this time. Leave Krejci on your league’s waiver wire.

Despite the hand injury, Young played 36 minutes in Friday’s loss to the Lakers. If he cannot play against the Clippers, Vit Krejci will likely fill Young’s place in the starting lineup. However, Krejci offers limited streaming value when allowed to start. Fantasy managers with Dyson Daniels rostered should anticipate his assist production increasing if Young doesn’t play.

Young is officially available for Friday’s game and will occupy his usual spot in the starting lineup. Vit Krejci misses out on a potential boost to his fantasy value, while Dyson Daniels is unlikely to have as many opportunities to serve as a playmaker with Young on the floor.

Young hasn’t missed a game since December 21, when he was sidelined due to a right heel contusion. Vit Krejci replaced him in the lineup that night and would be in line for another start if Young cannot play on Friday. However, this does not make Krejci a worthwhile streaming option, as Dyson Daniels (who’s already rostered in most leagues) has also seen his value increase when Young cannot play.

Daniels is closing in on a return to action after missing Atlanta’s last two games. His return would push Vit Krejci to the bench. Krejci has not offered much fantasy value as Daniels’ replacement in the starting lineup.

Dyson Daniels sat out Saturday’s game due to an illness, resulting in Krejci moving into the starting lineup. While he wasn’t a liability playing alongside Trae Young, Krejci didn’t provide much streaming value. However, Garrison Mathews did, finishing Saturday’s win with 18 points, two rebounds, two assists, one steal, and four 3-pointers in 26 minutes off the bench. If Daniels remains out for Sunday’s game in Toronto, Mathews will deserve streaming consideration.

Krejci joins the Hawks’ starting five with Dyson Daniels out with an illness. He played just 11 minutes in Thursday’s game against the Bulls, but should see a lot more playing time with Daniels out Saturday.

Young has been able to play through their last two games with this heel contusion, but he did miss a game last weekend because of it. If he were to miss this one, Vit Krejci could start in his place, as he did in Trae’s last absence, with Keaton Wallace coming off the bench. However, neither player would be worth streaming, and Jalen Johnson and Dyson Daniels would likely take on extra playmaking duties.
