Jock Landale Won't Play Monday

According to Kevin Chouinard of the Hawks' official site, Atlanta Hawks center Jock Landale (illness) is unavailable for Monday's matchup with the Boston Celtics. The 30-year-old big man will be held out due to an illness. While Landale is sidelined, fantasy managers should expect Onyeka Okongwu (finger) to take on a heavier workload as he is set to return after a one-game absence due to a left index finger sprain.

Jonathan Kuminga to Sit Out on Saturday

Atlanta Hawks forward Jonathan Kuminga (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Saturday's game against the Sacramento Kings. Unsurprisingly, Kuminga will take a seat in the second leg of this back-to-back set while he continues to deal with lingering knee issues. The Hawks are also without Dyson Daniels (toe) on Saturday, so the depth of this team is going to be tested. Without them available, Corey Kispert and Zaccharie Risacher will be asked to take on larger roles. Neither player has great streaming value, but Risacher could be worth a look as a low-end option with big minutes likely coming his way on Saturday.

Onyeka Okongwu Won't Play on Saturday

Atlanta Hawks center Onyeka Okongwu (finger) has been ruled out ahead of Saturday's game against the Sacramento Kings. The big man appears to have suffered a finger injury that will keep him sidelined for this game. Luckily, fellow big man Jock Landale (shoulder) is back in the mix following a one-game absence. Landale should move into the starting five and have increased fantasy value on Saturday. Mouhamed Gueye should take over as the primary backup, but Landale is the better fantasy choice between the two. Fantasy managers should check back on Monday for another update on Okongwu ahead of their game against the Boston Celtics.

Jock Landale is Cleared for Saturday's Game

Atlanta Hawks center Jock Landale (shoulder) is available to play ahead of Saturday's game against the Sacramento Kings. Landale is back in the mix following a one-game absence due to a shoulder injury. Fellow big man Onyeka Okongwu (finger) is out, which means Landale should have an expanded role. Landale should start and play 25-plus minutes without Okongwu on the court. When he gets extra minutes, Landale is usually able to capitalize. Fantasy managers in need of help on Saturday should consider Landale as a streaming option.

Dyson Daniels is Ruled Out for Saturday

Atlanta Hawks guard Dyson Daniels (toe) has been ruled out ahead of Saturday's game against the Sacramento Kings. Daniels was questionable coming into this game due to a left toe sprain. It appears to be significant enough to keep Daniels off the court for at least one game. His next chance to play will come on Monday against the Boston Celtics, so fantasy managers should check for another update ahead of that game. Without Daniels, Corey Kispert and Zaccharie Risacher should see expanded roles. Neither player is an ideal streaming option, but Risacher should offer some deep league value while Daniels sits out.

Jock Landale is Ruled Out for Friday

Atlanta Hawks center Jock Landale (shoulder) has been ruled out ahead of Friday's game against the Boston Celtics. Landale was a late addition to the injury report and will ultimately suit up due to a shoulder issue. His next chance to play will come on Saturday against the Sacramento Kings. Fantasy managers should check back for another update on his status ahead of that game. Mouhamed Gueye is expected to have an expanded role behind Onyeka Okongwu on Friday. Gueye will likely see minutes in the teens, but it probably won't be enough to warrant streaming him in most fantasy formats.

Jalen Johnson Cleared for Action Wednesday

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.

Jalen Johnson Could Miss Third Straight Game

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.

Jalen Johnson Remains Out Monday

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.

Jalen Johnson Could Miss Second Straight Game

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.

Jalen Johnson Sidelined Saturday

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.

Jonathan Kuminga Ruled Out Friday Against Rockets

Atlanta Hawks forward Jonathan Kuminga (knee) will sit out Friday's game against Houston for injury management on the first night of a back-to-back, though he could return Saturday against Golden State. His absence could mean a few extra minutes for Zaccharie Risacher and Corey Kispert, but neither is a trustworthy fantasy option during the playoffs. Risacher recently posted five points, six rebounds, one steal, and one block in 16 minutes, while Kispert added 10 points in 13 minutes. Mouhamed Gueye could also enter the rotation but remains off the fantasy radar, with most usage staying with Jalen Johnson and Nickeil Alexander-Walker.

Jonathan Kuminga Upgraded to Available

Atlanta Hawks forward Jonathan Kuminga (knee) will be active against the Dallas Mavericks on Wednesday night. The team has upgraded Kuminga's status from questionable to available. Late last month, Kuminga had a promising start to life in Atlanta, but he's recently been dealing with a knee issue that seems to have impacted his performance. Over his last two outings, Kuminga has shot below 20 percent from the field, scoring nine points. Overall, Kuminga has averaged 14.6 points, 8.0 rebounds, and 2.6 assists in 23.6 minutes per game in five appearances for the Hawks.

Jonathan Kuminga Questionable to Suit Up Wednesday

Atlanta Hawks forward Jonathan Kuminga (knee) is questionable for Wednesday's action against the Dallas Mavericks. The 23-year-old is dealing with a knee problem, but he managed to return to action Monday night against Orlando. However, Kuminga had only seven points on 2-for-7 shooting. Over his last two appearances, Kuminga has shot 18.2 percent from the field and hasn't made a positive impact since beginning his Hawks career with a strong three-game stretch. If Kuminga can't play on Wednesday, the rest of the bench will absorb his minutes, but no one stands out as a strong fantasy contributor. Jock Landale was the only other reserve to play more than 10 minutes on Monday, so Hawks head coach Quin Snyder doesn't seem to trust his second unit much.

Jonathan Kuminga Slated to Suit Up Monday

Kevin Chouinard of the Hawks' official site reports that Atlanta Hawks forward Jonathan Kuminga (knee) will play against the Orlando Magic on Monday. Kuminga was previously listed as questionable due to a knee issue, but he has since been cleared to play. The injury kept him out of four of the previous five games. Besides health issues, moving to Atlanta has worked out for the 23-year-old forward, as he's averaged 16.5 points, 8.0 rebounds, 3.0 assists, and 1.3 steals in 24.8 minutes per contest across four appearances.

Jonathan Kuminga Returns From Three-Game Absence

Atlanta Hawks forward Jonathan Kuminga (knee) will rejoin the lineup on Thursday against the Brooklyn Nets. The team has upgraded his status from questionable to available. Kuminga has been out for three games due to a bone bruise in his left knee. Apart from his health issues, moving to Atlanta has worked out well for Kuminga, who has averaged 21.3 points, 7.7 rebounds, 3.3 assists, and 1.7 steals in three appearances with the Hawks. He looks set for another productive evening against a weak Nets squad.

Dyson Daniels Unavailable Thursday

Atlanta Hawks guard Dyson Daniels (toe) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. He will sit out the action after being initially considered questionable for the game. Daniels' exit from the lineup opens up a spot in the starting unit. Corey Kispert, Zaccharie Risacher, and Jonathan Kuminga (knee) will mainly benefit from his absence. The latter has been cleared to play after sitting out three games due to a knee issue.

Dyson Daniels Dealing With Toe Sprain, Questionable Thursday

Atlanta Hawks guard Dyson Daniels (toe) is carrying a questionable tag on the injury report ahead of Thursday's matchup with the Brooklyn Nets. He has sprained his left big toe and could be absent for only his fourth game of the season. If Daniels can't play on Thursday night, CJ McCollum will pick up a few extra minutes. Meanwhile, Gabe Vincent and Corey Kispert could contribute more off the bench. Brooklyn will roll out a weakened lineup and is a 14.5-point underdog for this game, making this a very attractive fantasy matchup for Atlanta's second unit, which is likely to see more playing time in a blowout situation.

Jonathan Kuminga to Miss Third Straight Game

Atlanta Hawks forward Jonathan Kuminga (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Tuesday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. Kuminga is set to miss his third game in a row due to a lingering knee injury. The Hawks haven't given a timetable on his return, but his next chance to play will come on Thursday against the Brooklyn Nets. The absence of Kuminga should mean that Corey Kispert and Zacchaire Risacher should continue to see increased playing time. Kispert has been inconsistent this season, so Risacher is the better choice for a streaming option while Kuminga is out.

Jonathan Kuminga in Danger of Missing Third Consecutive Game

Atlanta Hawks forward Jonathan Kuminga (knee) is considered questionable for Tuesday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. He is dealing with a bone bruise in his left knee, and it might sideline Kuminga for a third consecutive game. Kuminga's absence from the rotation has given Zaccharie Risacher, Corey Kispert, and Mouhamed Gueye a chance to stake a claim for more playing time, but none of the trio has stepped up. The Hawks are increasingly depending on their starters as they chase a playoff spot.
