Dyson Daniels

Daniels' production came on a night when the team struggled to stay competitive against the Pistons. Despite the one-sided score, the fourth-year guard tied a team-high in minutes at 34, which allowed him to finish as one of the team's best scorers, facilitators, and rebounders on the evening. Daniels ended up collecting his third double-double of the season and put together a solid night from a fantasy basketball standpoint. He'll have a chance to log another productive performance against the Sixers on Sunday.

Shams notes that, "Hawks star Trae Young, who sustained a sprained MCL on Oct. 29, is optimistic about returning to action this month. The Hawks have gone 12-8 without Young in the lineup, and they believe his fit with a rising core in Jalen Johnson, Dyson Daniels, Nickeil Alexander-Walker, Zaccharie Risacher and Onyeka Okongwu will elevate the team." It's an encouraging update, but there is still no clear timeline for Young's return. Fantasy managers should continue monitoring his status.

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.

Daniels was able to provide his typical dose of swipes, but the offensive production has been more notable. Scoring isn't going to be a strength for him consistently, but the playmaking is absolutely something that will stick, at least until Trae Young (knee) returns. Young is supposed to be re-evaluated soon, which should provide more clarity to when he'll be back in the lineup. Until then, Young should have more opportunities on offense.

With Kristaps Porzingis sidelined, Okongwu will unsurprisingly return to the starting lineup. He has been excellent in seven starts this year, averaging 20 points, 6.7 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 1.4 steals, 1.9 blocks and 2.7 three-pointers per game.
