Nickeil Alexander-Walker, Dyson Daniels, Zaccharie Risacher, Jalen Johnson and Mouhamed Gueye will start Saturday's game against the Pacers.The Hawks have made three changes to the starting lineup for Saturday's game. Risacher returns from an extended absence, and he'll start immediately in a move that pushes Corey Kispert to the bench. Johnson's return doesn't force anyone to the bench, as Vit Krejci (ankle) is out. The third change is Gueye, who will fill the void left by Onyeka Okongwu (mouth) two nights after Christian Koloko did the honors.
Zaccharie Risacher (knee) is available for Saturday's game against the Pacers.Saturday's game will be Risacher's first since January 7. Corey Kispert has replaced him in the starting lineup, and that may remain the case on Saturday, given the time Risacher has missed. However, there hasn't been much to gain from streaming Kispert, so leave him on the waiver wire.
Zaccharie Risacher (knee) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Pacers.Risacher has missed the last three weeks with a knee injury. The 20-year-old small forward has a chance to return Saturday given his questionable listing. If he remains out, Corey Kispert and Vit Krejci will continue to see extra minutes, though neither are worth rostering in most fantasy leagues.
Jalen Johnson (calf) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Pacers.Johnson missed Thursday's game against the Rockets with left calf tightness. He's once again listed as questionable for the same injury Saturday against the Pacers. Corey Kispert moved into the starting lineup for Thursday's game and had 17 points. He could start again if Johnson remains out, but isn't worth rostering in most fantasy leagues.
Nickeil Alexander-Walker, Dyson Daniels, Vit Krejci, Corey Kispert and Christian Koloko will start against the Rockets on Thursday.Atlanta will be incredibly shorthanded for this game, with Jalen Johnson (calf) and Onyeka Okongwu (mouth) both sidelined. Krejci and Koloko will join the starting group, and there should be extra minutes off the bench available for Mouhamed Gueye and Asa Newell.
