Trae Young Unavailable Against Memphis

According to Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network, Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young (heel) won't suit up for Saturday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies due to a right heel contusion. Young will miss his second game in the 2024-25 season. He hasn't been scoring as much recently, but he's provided plenty of assists to his teammates, averaging 12.2 assists across 27 contests. While the 26-year-old is sidelined, expect veteran guard Bogdan Bogdanovic to see an uptick in playing time.

Trae Young Listed As Questionable Heading Into Saturday Night

Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young (heel) is listed as questionable for Saturday night's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. Young is dealing with a right heel contusion and was previously listed on the injury report with a heel injury but hasn't missed any time since early November. Young has been scoring less lately, compared to his career norms, but has been facilitating Atlanta's offense at a high level with 12.2 APG on the season. If he's forced to miss time, expect Bogdan Bogdanovic to get increased playing time. Bogdanovic has averaged 11.9 PPG and shot 34.2% from three in his last 12 games back from injury. He would certainly see a boost in Young's absence and should be a target for fantasy managers and DFS players alike if Young can't suit up.

Trae Young Will Play Against Spurs On Thursday

Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young (Achilles) will suit up as expected and play against the San Antonio Spurs on Thursday night. He was already considered probable, but has officially been upgraded to available and will certainly be in everyone's fantasy lineup regardless of format. The superstar point guard has posted a rough shooting percentage (.389) thus far but leads the league in assists at 12.1 per game. He's also contributed 1.3 steals per game making him a big-time contributor in category leagues.

Trae Young Expected To Face The Spurs

Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young (Achilles) is expected to play in Thursday's game against the Spurs. It's another game, although Young is back on the injury report due to right Achilles tendinitis. However, barring a significant setback, he should be out there on Thursday. The 26-year-old has averaged only 21.5 points this season, four points less than he had during the 2023-24 campaign. Yet, he's at least averaging a career-high 12.1 assists. As usual, Young is a must-start, with Vit Krejci and Bogdan Bogdanovic on deck for more work if he can't suit up.

Onyeka Okongwu Out At Least Four Games

Atlanta Hawks forward Onyeka Okongwu (knee) will miss at least four games due to left knee inflammation. He will be re-evaluated in a week. The 24-year-old is currently having the best season of his career, averaging 11.3 points and 6.6 rebounds. But while he's sidelined, Larry Nance Jr. could see some minutes at the five spot. However, Nance has some work to do to gain the trust of fantasy managers, although he's worth considering for rosters if he can make good use of his time on the court.

Kobe Bufkin Done For The Rest Of The Season

Atlanta Hawks guard Kobe Bufkin (shoulder) will miss the remainder of the 2024-25 campaign. The 21-year-old has appeared in only 27 games during his two-year career. He has also played sparingly, averaging only 5.0 points in 11.9 minutes per contest. Unfortunately, Bufkin will need surgery to address instability in his right shoulder. With that said, now is not the time for dynasty managers to move him, considering his value can't get much lower. However, the 2023 No. 15 overall pick is talented enough to turn things around, although he'll need to figure out how to stay healthy.

Jalen Johnson Will Suit Up For Saturday's Game

Atlanta Hawks forward Jalen Johnson (ankle) will play on Saturday against the Bucks. The 23-year-old has had an excellent 2024-25 campaign, averaging 19.8 points, 10.1 rebounds, 1.4 steals, and 1.1 blocks. He's also missed only two games after appearing in 56 last season. With that in mind, Johnson is a must-start fantasy option, although his presence will mean fewer scoring opportunities and minutes for De'Andre Hunter (knee), who was also cleared to suit up for Saturday's NBA Cup contest.

Bogdan Bogdanovic Playing Against Milwaukee

Atlanta Hawks guard Bogdan Bogdanovic (quadriceps) is good to go heading into Saturday's game against the Bucks. Fantasy managers are never surprised to see the veteran show up on the injury report, so his probable tag because of a quad contusion wasn't alarming. While there's a good chance Bogdanovic will miss more time at some point throughout the remainder of the 2024-25 campaign, fantasy managers will at least have him for Saturday's NBA Cup showdown with Milwaukee. He's averaged only 11.9 points this season, the second-lowest of his career. Still, the 32-year-old can get hot, giving him credibility for any fantasy lineup.

Trae Young Available On Saturday

Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young (Achilles) is good to go for the NBA Cup showdown with the Milwaukee Bucks. The former Oklahoma Sooner has made numerous appearances on the injury report this season due to right Achilles Tendinitis. However, he's only missed one game during the 2024-25 campaign, so it's obvious the injury isn't a big concern. Young's production is down from last season in terms of scoring and three-point shooting. Still, he leads the league with 12.2 assists per contest, making him an ideal fantasy option, especially for category managers.

De'Andre Hunter Likely To Feature Against Knicks

Atlanta Hawks forward De'Andre Hunter (knee) has been labeled as probable ahead of Wednesday's NBA Cup game against the Knicks. Hunter continues to manage a knee injury, and he took a blow to the head in Sunday's loss to Denver, but the 27-year-old is set to make a 12th consecutive appearance. Atlanta has seen the best of Hunter lately, as he's finished each of the last four games with 20-plus points. Hunter took a whopping 20 shots in 24 minutes on Sunday and should get additional offensive duties again in Wednesday's game if Jalen Johnson (shoulder) and Bogdan Bogdanovic (quadriceps) remain sidelined.

Bogdan Bogdanovic In Danger Of Missing Another Game

Atlanta Hawks guard/forward Bogdan Bogdanovic (quadriceps) has a questionable designation on the injury report ahead of Wednesday's NBA Cup quarterfinal against the Knicks. A quadriceps contusion might keep Bogdanovic off the court for the second straight game. Garrison Mathews and Vit Krejci get extra work with Bogdanovic out, but neither was productive in Sunday's heavy loss to Denver. The two combined for only five points and four assists off the bench despite both seeing 20-plus minutes of action.

Jalen Johnson Carries A Questionable Tag

Atlanta Hawks forward Jalen Johnson (shoulder) might miss a second straight game on Wednesday versus the Knicks. He's been listed as questionable on the injury report. Following back-to-back double-doubles, Johnson exited the lineup on Sunday against Denver due to a sore shoulder. This pushed Larry Nance Jr. to the starting lineup for only the second time this season. Nance Jr. hasn't played a lot for the Hawks, but the veteran forward proved that he can get the job done. He finished with 16 points, four rebounds, three assists, and a couple of steals.

Trae Young Probable Again For Wednesday

Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young (Achilles) is expected to play on Wednesday in New York. The former Sooner is on the injury report because of right Achilles Tendinitis. However, this injury isn't anything new, so he should play barring a setback. Young has averaged just 20.9 points and shot 31.0% from behind the arc, both down from last season. Fortunately, he has logged a career-high 12.2 assists. Young is always a capable fantasy producer. Yet, he may be even more productive against the Knicks if Jalen Johnson (shoulder), De'Andre Hunter (knee), and Bogdan Bogdanovic (quadriceps) are sidelined.

De'Andre Hunter  • SF  •  Hawks

De'Andre Hunter Available Versus Nuggets

Atlanta Hawks forward De'Andre Hunter (knee) is good to go for Sunday's matchup against Denver. He keeps managing a knee injury but has been upgraded from questionable to available. Hunter will make his 11th consecutive appearance and will have extra fantasy value on Sunday, as Jalen Johnson (shoulder) and Bogdan Bogdanovic (quadriceps) won't be in the lineup. The absences also give a boost to Larry Nance Jr., who will replace Johnson in the starting lineup.

Bogdan Bogdanovic Out On Sunday

Atlanta Hawks guard/forward Bogdan Bogdanovic (quadriceps) will not be in the lineup on Sunday against Denver. The veteran scorer has been limited to 10 outings this season and will miss another game on Sunday. Atlanta also won't have the services of Jalen Johnson (shoulder), so the game will be extra demanding offensively for the rest of the players. De'Andre Hunter (knee) has been cleared to play and looks to be the main beneficiary of the absences, along with Zaccharie Risacher. Bogdanovic's absence should also give extra work to Vit Krejci, but he's not an attractive fantasy option.

Trae Young Ready To Face Nuggets

Atlanta Hawks point guard Trae Young (Achilles) will suit up for Sunday's contest against Denver. He's been upgraded from probable to available. Young is coming off an incredible 31-point, 20-assist outing against the Lakers. He'll be expected to do extra work offensively again on Sunday, as Jalen Johnson (shoulder) has been ruled out for the game. This should be a good matchup for Young, as he faces a team that's allowed the 11th-most fantasy points to opposing point guards in 2024-25.

Jalen Johnson Misses Sunday's Action

Atlanta Hawks forward Jalen Johnson (shoulder) will not play in Sunday's clash against Denver. After picking up a questionable tag due to a sore right shoulder, Johnson has been ruled out for the contest ahead of tip-off. This is quite a blow for the streaking Hawks, who have seen Johnson grow into one of the leaders of the team this season. He's averaging nearly a double-double with 19.8 points and 9.9 rebounds. De'Andre Hunter and Zaccharie Risacher will need to do more to compensate for Johnson's absence, and Trae Young, who's focused on playmaking lately, might work more as a scorer on Sunday.

Jalen Johnson Questionable For Sunday’s Game

Atlanta Hawks forward Jalen Johnson (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Denver Nuggets. Johnson may have sustained a right shoulder injury during Friday's game against the Lakers. If he is unable to play, De'Andre Hunter and Bogdan Bogdanovic are expected to see more minutes on Sunday. Johnson has been playing at a high level this season, nearly averaging a double-double with 19.8 points and 9.9 rebounds per game. His presence on both ends of the floor has been valuable, making his potential absence a significant blow for both Hawks fans and fantasy owners.

Trae Young Listed As Probable For Sunday

Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young (Achilles) is considered probable for Sunday's matchup against the Denver Nuggets. Young has been managing right Achilles tendinitis, but it hasn't impacted his performance. The All-Star point guard recently put up a remarkable 31 points and 20 assists in Friday's win over the Lakers, marking the second time in six games he's reached at least 20 assists. With over 12 assists per game, he continues to lead the league in that category.

Trae Young Good To Go Versus The Lakers

Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young (Achilles) will play in Friday's game versus the Los Angeles Lakers. He was listed as probable, so most had already planned on his availability for this one. The 26-year-old hasn't played the best this season, averaging 20.7 points, the second-lowest of his career. He's also shooting a career-low 30.6% from deep. But Young at least has a favorable matchup versus Los Angeles on the horizon, with the Lakers allowing 115.7 points per contest during the 2024-25 campaign.
