Jalen Johnson

Due to right calf tightness, Johnson was held out of Wednesday's loss to the Clippers. Mouhamed Gueye replaced him in the starting lineup but did not offer much value, going scoreless in 23 minutes. Gueye may get another start if Johnson can't play against the Nuggets, but there's no need to consider streaming him.

The Hawks are without Jalen Johnson and Kristaps Porzingis, with the latter missing his fifth consecutive game. Okongwu will continue to start for KP, while Gueye steps in for Johnson. While Okongwu is already rostered in most leagues, Gueye is worthy of streaming consideration in deep leagues.

Initially listed as available for Wednesday's game, Johnson was downgraded to questionable about an hour before tipoff. He is now officially out. Mouhamed Gueye could be pushed into the starting lineup out of necessity. Getting to start would make Gueye worthy of a look in deep leagues, which has not been the case when he's come off the bench.

Johnson (calf) won't play Wednesday against the Clippers, Kevin Chouinard of the Hawks' official site reports.

Johnson racked up 29 points (9-17 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 7-8 FT), 13 rebounds and seven assists across 37 minutes during Monday's 99-98 defeat in Detroit.
