Atlanta Hawks forward Jalen Johnson (shoulder) will play on Wednesday against the Detroit Pistons. He is returning to the court after missing two games due to left shoulder inflammation. Johnson's return is set to push Mouhamed Gueye to the bench. The Pistons are a strong defensive team, but even they have struggled to slow down Johnson this season. Atlanta's rising star has averaged 24.3 points, 10.7 rebounds, 9.3 assists, and 1.7 steals across three games against Detroit.

Atlanta Hawks forward Jalen Johnson (shoulder) is questionable for Wednesday's game against Detroit after sitting out the past two contests with inflammation. His status likely will be determined closer to tipoff depending on how he responds in pregame work. Mouhamed Gueye would remain in the starting unit if Johnson sits, though his production has fluctuated. Gueye had three points, four rebounds, three assists and two steals in 22 minutes Monday after posting 16 points, 10 rebounds and three blocks in a previous start. He is a risky deep-league streamer. Onyeka Okongwu and Jonathan Kuminga could also see slight usage bumps if Johnson remains out.

Atlanta Hawks forward Jalen Johnson (shoulder) has been ruled out for Monday's game against Memphis due to inflammation, marking his second straight absence. Mouhamed Gueye could continue seeing starting minutes after posting 16 points, four three-pointers, 10 rebounds, and two assists in 26 minutes in his last start, though that line may prove difficult to repeat. Zaccharie Risacher also remains a deeper-league option after scoring 17 points with three three-pointers in 23 minutes. Jonathan Kuminga should continue seeing steady minutes, while Johnson remains worth holding, though fantasy playoff managers may want insurance just in case.

Atlanta Hawks forward Jalen Johnson (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies because of left shoulder inflammation after missing the previous contest. If Johnson remains out, Atlanta could again lean on Mouhamed Gueye, Zaccharie Risacher, and Jonathan Kuminga for extra minutes. Gueye impressed in his last start with 16 points, four three-pointers, 10 rebounds, and two assists in 26 minutes, giving him deep-league streaming appeal. Risacher could also remain on the streaming radar after scoring 17 points off the bench, while Kuminga may see additional frontcourt opportunities.

Atlanta Hawks forward Jalen Johnson (shoulder) will not play Saturday against the Warriors because of left shoulder inflammation. The injury ends his recent stretch of strong all-around production. His absence could open the door for Jonathan Kuminga to take on a larger role after he was removed from the injury report. In his last appearance, Kuminga recorded 16 points, two three-pointers, five rebounds, three assists, and one steal in 18 minutes. He looks like a solid short-term streaming option if he moves into the starting lineup, while C.J. McCollum and Nickeil Alexander-Walker could also take on more scoring responsibility.

Atlanta Hawks forward Jalen Johnson (hip) will play on Sunday versus Portland. He suffered a left hip injury during Tuesday's 119-98 win over the Washington Wizards, keeping him off the floor for the rematch on Thursday evening. Jonathan Kuminga got the start in that one, ending with 17 points, nine rebounds, three assists, one steal, and one block. While Kuminga may head back to the bench, he still offers plenty of upside for fantasy managers due to the favorable matchup on the horizon.

Atlanta Hawks forward Jalen Johnson (hip) was initially questionable for Thursday's game against the Wizards, but has been downgraded to out. He tweaked his hip in Tuesday's win over Washington and will miss the rematch Thursday. Without him, new Hawks addition Jonathan Kuminga will carry a large workload. In his Hawks' debut on Tuesday, Kuminga impressed with 27 points, seven rebounds, four assists, two steals, and three three-pointers in 25 minutes. In the same matchup on Thursday, Kuminga has a very high ceiling. Zaccharie Risacher (hip) could also get extra work if he plays through his own questionable tag in this favorable spot

Atlanta Hawks forward Jalen Johnson (hip) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Wizards after tweaking his hip in Tuesday's win. If the 24-year-old sits, Jonathan Kuminga would be positioned for a significant role, with a possible move into the starting lineup. In his Hawks debut, Kuminga erupted for 27 points, seven rebounds, four assists, two steals, and three three-pointers in 25 minutes. The matchup aided the stat line, but the opportunity is real with Johnson limited. Zaccharie Risacher (hip) could also see added run if active, while Onyeka Okongwu may absorb more frontcourt usage.

Atlanta Hawks forward Jalen Johnson suffered a left hip flexor injury in Tuesday's matchup with the Washington Wizards. He played only six minutes, finishing with five points, three rebounds, and two steals. Johnson's early exit gave Jonathan Kuminga a chance to shine. He had 27 points in 24 minutes during his Hawks debut. Zaccharie Risacher also benefits from Johnson's absence. The French sophomore went close to a double-double on Tuesday night. It's unclear whether Johnson can suit up on Thursday when the Hawks have a rematch against Washington.

Atlanta Hawks forward Jalen Johnson (knee) has received the green light to play on Wednesday against the Charlotte Hornets. He missed Monday's loss to Minnesota with a knee problem and was initially listed as questionable for Wednesday's contest. With Johnson back, Asa Newell must settle for a bench role. Johnson has had an extraordinary campaign, saving some of his best performances for the Hornets. In three meetings with Charlotte, Johnson has averaged 34.0 points, 9.3 rebounds, 9.3 assists, and 1.7 steals.

Atlanta Hawks forward Jalen Johnson (knee) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's tilt against the Charlotte Hornets. He is facing a second consecutive absence due to left knee inflammation. With Johnson unavailable, Asa Newell got the nod to start on Monday night against the Minnesota Timberwolves. He had a limited role in the contest, notching two points, four rebounds, and one assist in 25 minutes. Mouhamed Gueye is also in a position to see more action, but he was ejected from Monday's game early in the fourth quarter.

Atlanta Hawks forward Jalen Johnson (knee) will sit out Monday against Minnesota after being added to the injury report earlier in the day and ruled inactive with left knee inflammation. His absence creates a short-term opening across Atlanta's frontcourt. Onyeka Okongwu is positioned for a heavier workload and remains the primary fantasy beneficiary after posting 16 points, six rebounds, two assists, and two blocks in 31 minutes in his last outing. Zaccharie Risacher and Corey Kispert should also see steadier minutes, while Johnson remains a firm hold once healthy.

Atlanta Hawks forward Jalen Johnson (calf) won't play on Thursday against the Houston Rockets. Atlanta's rising star was initially listed as questionable on the injury report due to left calf tightness, but it has now been confirmed that Johnson won't be available for the second leg of a back-to-back. Onyeka Okongwu (face) also won't play, while Kristaps Porzingis (Achilles) and Zaccharie Risacher (knee) remain out, meaning Christian Koloko, Corey Kispert, and Mouhamed Gueye will see additional action in the rotation. Meanwhile, Nickeil Alexander-Walker, ... [More]

Atlanta Hawks forward Jalen Johnson (calf) was listed as questionable for Thursday night's home game against the Rockets, as his team finishes out a back-to-back. On Wednesday, Johnson had 19 points, 14 rebounds, and seven assists to help Atlanta get a nice road win in Boston against the Celtics, but his is now dealing with left calf tightness. With Onyeka Okongwu (face) ruled out, the Hawks will be very shorthanded in the frontcourt if Johnson is also out. Corey Kispert, Christian Koloko, and Mouhamed Gueye are likely to play more minutes in that scenario, along with Asa Newell, who was just recalled from the G League.

Atlanta Hawks forward Jalen Johnson (illness) isn't listed on the injury report heading into Wednesday's game versus Minnesota. He wasn't feeling well, forcing him to miss Monday's loss to OKC, his first absence in nearly a month. Vit Krejci got the start in that one, finishing with 18 points, two assists, and one rebound while shooting 4-for-10 from behind the arc. While Krejci might still see additional work if Trae Young (quadriceps) can't suit up, his fantasy ceiling is considerably lower coming off the bench, even more so with Kristaps Porzingis (illness) also in line to return. As far as Johnson is concerned, he should be more productive if Young isn't available, although he may have trouble surpassing his usual statistical expectations against a sound Timberwolves defense.

Atlanta Hawks forward Jalen Johnson (illness) won't play on Monday against OKC. With Trae Young (quadriceps) and Kristaps Porzingis (illness) ruled out, Johnson would have been in line for an expanded role. Unfortunately, he's not feeling well, so only time will tell if he'll be healthy enough to get back on the court on Wednesday versus the visiting Minnesota Timberwolves. While Johnson is on the shelf, Onyeka Okongwu, Dyson Daniels, and Nickeil Alexander-Walker are the favorites to lead the way offensively. On the other hand, streaming consideration can be given to Zaccharie Risacher, Vit Krejci, and ... [More]

Atlanta Hawks forward Jalen Johnson (calf) is available to play Friday night against the Denver Nuggets. He previously missed Wednesday's loss to the Los Angeles Clippers. The 23-year-old is making a strong campaign for his All-Star nod this season, averaging 23.2 points, 10 rebounds, 7.3 assists, and 1.6 steals, while shooting 53% from the floor and 41% from beyond the arc. He's been one of the best players in fantasy basketball this season and can be plugged right back into starting lineups.

Atlanta Hawks forward Jalen Johnson (calf) is questionable for Friday's matchup with Denver after missing Wednesday's loss, which pushed Mouhamed Gueye into a 23-minute spot start that produced six rebounds and one steal. Johnson's potential absence again funnels minutes to Gueye, Vit Krejci, and rookie Asa Newell, while Zaccharie Risacher holds a stable role after logging 11 points, three rebounds, and three assists. Managers should treat Gueye as a deep-league streaming option only, as his low usage and inconsistent production cap his upside.

The Duke product finished with 31 points, 18 rebounds, 14 assists, seven steals, and six turnovers while shooting 10-for-19 from the floor and 4-for-5 from beyond the arc. Johnson has taken full control of the Hawks' offense since Trae Young (knee) has been out, and the results speak for themselves. In the seven games since then, Johnson averages 22.0 points, 11.0 rebounds, 7.4 assists, 2.0 steals, 1.4 threes, and 3.1 turnovers per game while shooting a red-hot .578 overall.

Mouhamed Gueye had an impressive outing as a starter on Saturday with 21 points, seven rebounds, seven assists, and two steals. He may get another chance to shine on Monday if Johnson remains out.
