Mouhamed Gueye

Johnson will be back after a one-game absence. Mouhamed Gueye started that game in his place, but he will return to a reserve role for this one. This is the first night of a back-to-back, so don't be surprised if Johnson is back on the injury report ahead Saturday's game against the Wizards.

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.

Gueye is in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Clippers, Tomer Azarly of ClutchPoints.com reports.

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.
