Jalen Johnson Fantasy Stats

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 Asa Newell. However, it might be a tough night for anyone on the Hawks' roster in a meeting with the top defensive team in the National Basketball Association.

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.

Atlanta Hawks forward Jalen Johnson posted a monster game in their win over the Utah Jazz on Thursday. 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.

Atlanta Hawks forward Jalen Johnson (quadriceps) may have to skip a second consecutive game on Monday versus the Los Angeles Clippers, as the team has listed him as questionable on the injury report. Johnson sustained a right quadriceps contusion earlier this week and missed his second game of the season on Saturday against the Los Angeles Lakers. With Trae Young (knee) on the shelf, Johnson has been the leading man on offense for the Hawks, averaging 20.6 points and 4.9 assists with 8.4 rebounds. 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.

Atlanta Hawks forward Jalen Johnson (quad) is listed as questionable for Saturday night's matchup against the Los Angeles Lakers. Johnson is dealing with a right quad contusion. The 23-year-old has been a very important piece to Atlanta's rotation this season, averaging 20.6 PPG and 8.4 RPG. With Atlanta already ruling out Kristaps Porzingis, and Nickeil Alexander-Walker being listed as questionable as well, Johnson's production will be greatly missed if ruled out. With Atlanta on the second leg of a back-to-back, they will have a tough decision to make prior to tip-off. If Johnson misses, expect Mouhamed Gueye to get the start. In his one start in Johnson's spot this season he put up 11 points and six rebounds. Fantasy managers may have better options but DFS managers may find him to be an intriguing play if Johnson is ruled out.

Atlanta Hawks forward Jalen Johnson (ankle) is listed as active for Wednesday night's game against the Brooklyn Nets. Johnson was initially listed as probable, but he's been battling a right ankle sprain that forced him to miss one game so far during a back-to-back. Atlanta has seen the 23-year-old become a bright spot during a tough start to the season. Johnson is currently averaging 19 points, seven rebounds, four assists, and just under two steals per game through three games played. Brooklyn is giving up the most points per game in the NBA at 130.5 to provide extra value for him in a great matchup. Kristaps Porzingis and Trae Young average more points than the talented forward, but the Nets give up enough points for all three to have peak fantasy value on Wednesday.

Atlanta Hawks forward Jalen Johnson (ankle) remains on the injury report ahead of Wednesday's clash against the Brooklyn Nets, but he is expected to play, as the team has listed him as probable. Due to an ankle sprain, Johnson was forced to miss one game during the opening week. However, he returned to the lineup on Monday versus the Chicago Bulls and should remain available on Wednesday night. In his first three appearances of the season, Johnson has averaged 19.7 points, 7.0 rebounds, 4.0 assists, and 1.7 steals. With the Nets appearing to have one of the weakest squads in the league, Johnson will have a good opportunity to boost his numbers if he plays on Wednesday.

Atlanta Hawks forward Jalen Johnson (ankle) is available for Monday's meeting with the Chicago Bulls. He was dealing with a sprained right ankle, keeping him off the floor for Saturday's loss with the Oklahoma City Thunder. Fortunately, Johnson will be back after missing only one game. The Hawks will also welcome back Kristaps Porzingis (illness) and Zaccharie Risacher (ankle), meaning less work for Nickeil Alexander-Walker, Onyeka Okongwu, and Mouhamed Gueye.
