Nickeil Alexander-Walker, Dyson Daniels, Zaccharie Risacher, Mouhamed Gueye and Onyeka Okongwu will start Wednesday's game against the Clippers.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.
Dyson Daniels stuffed the stat sheet on Friday with 10 points (5-of-8 FGs), eight rebounds, nine assists and three steals against the Cavaliers.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.
Nickeil Alexander-Walker, Dyson Daniels, Zaccharie Risacher, Jalen Johnson and Onyeka Okongwu will start against the Cavaliers on Friday.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.
Dyson Daniels finished Tuesday's loss to the Wizards with 11 points (5-of-11 FGs), nine rebounds, seven assists and one three-pointer.Despite not recording any defensive stats, Daniels provided solid value in the rebound and assist categories. Over the past two weeks, he has been a seventh-round player in 12-team, nine-cat formats, ranking just outside the top-75. While Trae Young's absence has not boosted Daniels' fantasy value to the heights some hoped, he's been better than he was at the start of the season. The Hawks play games on Friday and Sunday to end Week 6.
Nickeil Alexander-Walker, Dyson Daniels, Zaccharie Risacher, Jalen Johnson and Kristaps Porzingis will start Tuesday's game against the Wizards.Porzingis is back after sitting out the second game of Atlanta's most recent back-to-back, Sunday against the Hornets. Onyeka Okongwu will head to the bench, but he will still be a valuable option in fantasy basketball, regardless of league size or format.
