Corey Kispert

Nickeil Alexander-Walker scored 21 points, Jalen Johnson had 19 points and 14 rebounds and the Atlanta Hawks beat the Boston Celtics 117-106 on Wednesday night to avenge a lopsided home loss. Onyeka Okongwu added 17 points, Dyson Daniels had 15 and Corey Kispert 13 to help the Hawks win their fourth straight. Jaylen Brown led Boston with 21 points.

Risacher has been out for the better part of the last month with a knee injury. That absence will extend to Wednesday's game against the Celtics. With Risacher still out, Corey Kispert and Vit Krejci will continue to see extra minutes, though neither are worth rostering in most fantasy leagues.

Risacher is nearing a return after nearly three weeks on the shelf, but until he's back, Corey Kispert and Vit Krejci should see increased run. Despite the bump in playing time, neither Kispert nor Krejci are worth a look outside of deep fantasy leagues.

Due to a bone contusion in his left knee, Risacher has not appeared in a game since January 7. Being assigned to the Hawks' G League affiliate is a step in the right direction, as it's a sign that he's able to do some on-court work. While Vit Krejci was Risacher's replacement in the starting lineup in the immediate aftermath of his knee injury, Corey Kispert has been the most recent replacement. Neither player should be rostered in most fantasy leagues.

ATLANTA (AP) Jalen Johnson scored 23 points and tied a career high with 18 rebounds for his NBA-leading 30th double-double, and the Atlanta Hawks rallied to beat Phoenix 110-103 on Friday night after the Suns lost Devin Booker to a right ankle injury.
