Jalen Johnson is questionable for Thursday's game against the Rockets with left calf tightness.Johnson played 33 minutes in Wednesday night's game against the Celtics and didn't seem to suffer an injury, so this could be generic wear and tear. That being said, missing Johnson, who has emerged as a legit star this season, would be a big loss for the Hawks. Corey Kispert and Luke Kennard would likely see more minutes, with Nickiel Alexander-Walker and Dyson Daniels getting an uptick in usage.

In addition to the efficient shooting, he was effective as a rebounder and distributor, and the defensive production was elite. The six "stocks" were triple Daniels' total in his prior three games. Compared to last season, the steals production has taken a hit, but Daniels remains capable of putting up a high number in that category.
