Christian Koloko
Christian Koloko scores 12 points in 17 minutes
Mon, Jan 26, 2026, 10:11 AM
Christian Koloko turned in 12 points, four rebounds, an assist and three blocked shots across 17 minutes in Monday's win over Indiana.
Analysis: Koloko backed up Onyeka Okongwu (12/10/2 with a block in 31 minutes) at center, and he logged more minutes than Mouhamed Gueye (seven points and six rebounds in 13 minutes). Koloko is on a two-way deal, but he could see meaningful minutes until Kristaps Porzi??is (Achilles) returns to the lineup. The former is worth a look in deep leagues only.
Jalen Johnson
Jalen Johnson struggles with shot in big win
Mon, Jan 26, 2026, 10:07 AM
Jalen Johnson contributed 15 points (5-of-19 FG), seven rebounds, six assists, four steals, a block and a three-pointer across 35 minutes in Monday's 132-116 win over the Pacers.
Analysis: Johnson couldn't get it going as a scorer, but he did everything else in the box score, and fantasy managers ended up with another strong performance. Johnson will look to get back on track from an efficiency standpoint when the Hawks face the Celtics on Wednesday.
CJ McCollum
CJ McCollum stuffs stat sheet off the bench
Mon, Jan 26, 2026, 10:04 AM
CJ McCollum posted 23 points, eight rebounds, seven assists, two steals, a block and five three-pointers across 28 minutes in Monday's win over the Pacers.
Analysis: McCollum hasn't had trouble offering strong scoring numbers off the bench, but Monday's final stat line represents arguably his best all-around performance in a Hawks uniform. Fantasy managers who rolled with McCollum were treated to a team-high point total, meaningful counting stats, strong defensive contributions and a flurry of triples.
Kristaps Porzingis
Kristaps Porzi??is (Achilles) out 1 more week
Mon, Jan 26, 2026, 7:38 AM
Atlanta Hawks
According to the Atlanta Hawks' official X.com account, Kristaps Porzi??is (Achilles) will be re-evaluated in one week.
Analysis: Porzi??is is participating in basketball activity, but he's still at least a week away from returning to the court. Onyeka Okongwu has been soaking up minutes in KP's absence, and he's been a strong producer for fantasy managers. Mouhamed Gueye has earned some additional backup minutes, but he's only worth a look in deep leagues.
Jalen Johnson
NBA moves Pacers/Hawks start time to 1:30 pm
Sun, Jan 25, 2026, 10:22 AM
NBA Communications
The NBA has moved the start time for Monday's game between the Pacers and Hawks to 1:30 PM Eastern.
Analysis: Inclement weather has forced a change to the start time for Monday's game, which was initially scheduled to begin at 7:30 PM Eastern. Monday's game between Philadelphia and Charlotte was also moved up, and it will start at 3 PM Eastern.
CJ McCollum
CJ McCollum contributes 21 points off bench
Fri, Jan 23, 2026, 5:30 PM
CJ McCollum provided a boost off the bench with 21 points (9-of-15 FGs), four rebounds and two three-pointers on Friday against the Suns.
Analysis: McCollum hasn't been great with the Hawks, but he has been a consistent source of points. That held true in this game. McCollum should continue to see plenty of minutes for Atlanta, mostly as a reserve, but his impact in category leagues will remain limited. However, he should be able to contribute more in other categories than he did in this game. Just not much more.
Onyeka Okongwu
Onyeka Okongwu pours in 25/5/5/2 line vs. Suns
Fri, Jan 23, 2026, 5:22 PM
Onyeka Okongwu led the Hawks with 25 points (9-of-15 FGs), five rebounds, five assists, two steals and three three-pointers against the Suns on Friday.
Analysis: Okongwu remains limited on the glass, but he has been able to make an impact in a multitude of categories consistently. He also led the Hawks in scoring in the win. Okongwu is currently providing third-round value in nine-category leagues this season and has been able to produce value across the board. This was a strong performance for him, and he'll look to keep it going against the Pacers on Monday.
Jalen Johnson
Jalen Johnson pours in 23/18/9 line vs. Phoenix
Fri, Jan 23, 2026, 5:12 PM
Jalen Johnson recorded a double-double on Friday with 23 points (10-of-18 FGs, 2-of-5 FTs), 18 rebounds, nine assists, one three-pointer and five turnovers in a 110-103 win over the Suns.
Analysis: Johnson had a few rough performances in January, but the last three games have been strong. He has averaged 27.7 points, 16.3 rebounds and 7.7 assists per game during this stretch. He hasn't been as strong in the other categories, but he has been a beast in points, rebounds and assists. He matched his career high for boards in this game, which he has now set three times this season. He'll look to keep his dominance on the glass up against the Pacers on Monday.
Luke Kennard
Luke Kennard drops four three-pointers, 18 points
Wed, Jan 21, 2026, 5:15 PM
Luke Kennard recorded 18 points (7-of-9 FGs), four rebounds, two assists, two steals and four three-pointers in Wednesday's win over the Grizzlies.
Analysis: Kennard has logged at least 19 minutes in seven of his last eight games, with his minutes increasing when the shots are falling. The Hawks' guard was 4-of-5 from beyond the arc in Memphis, with the 18 points being double his tally from the prior three games combined. Kennard still isn't at the point where he can be trusted in fantasy leagues, but more nights like Wednesday could change that.
Onyeka Okongwu
Onyeka Okongwu hits four triples, scores 18 points
Wed, Jan 21, 2026, 5:14 PM
Onyeka Okongwu accounted for 18 points (6-of-10 FGs, 2-of-3 FTs), nine rebounds, one assist, one steal, two blocks and four three-pointers in Wednesday's win over the Grizzlies.
Analysis: While he did shoot 60 percent from the field and record a complete stat line, this was a rough night for Okongwu. In addition to fouling out, the Hawks' center committed a season-high seven turnovers. The good news is that nights like this have not been the norm for Okongwu, so it's safe to assume that he'll bounce back. And over the past two weeks, he has provided third-round value in eight-cat formats.
Jalen Johnson
Jalen Johnson records 32/15/8/1 line vs. Memphis
Wed, Jan 21, 2026, 5:14 PM
Jalen Johnson finished Wednesday's win over the Grizzlies with 32 points (10-of-21 FGs, 10-of-11 FTs), 15 rebounds, eight assists, one steal and two three-pointers.
Analysis: Johnson wasn't among the ten players named starters for next month's All-Star Game, but there's little doubt that he should be making the trip. The Hawks' forward recorded another stellar stat line on Wednesday, finishing two assists shy of a triple-double. After taking one significant leap last season, Johnson has taken another, and that likely factored into the Hawks' decision to trade Trae Young. Johnson has been a fantasy cornerstone this season, and that should be the case for future seasons as well.
CJ McCollum
CJ McCollum scores 17 points off the bench
Mon, Jan 19, 2026, 9:49 AM
CJ McCollum finished Monday's loss to the Bucks with 17 points (5-of-11 FGs, 5-of-6 FTs), three rebounds, three assists, one block and two three-pointers.
Analysis: With Zaccharie Risacher (knee) still out, the Hawks decided to go with Corey Kispert (two points, one rebound, one assist and one steal) as the fifth starter instead of McCollum or Vit Krej?í (zero points, two assists). However, this did not prevent McCollum from being the one on the court as the Hawks mounted a fourth-quarter rally. More concerning than the role was McCollum playing 24 minutes. If he can consistently get into the high-20s, the veteran guard will have an easier time preserving most of his fantasy value.
Nickeil Alexander-Walker
Nickeil Alexander-Walker gets hot late, scores 32
Mon, Jan 19, 2026, 9:48 AM
Nickeil Alexander-Walker recorded 32 points (9-of-20 FGs, 7-of-7 FTs), six rebounds, six assists, one steal, one block and seven three-pointers in Monday's loss to the Bucks.
Analysis: Alexander-Walker was on a heater during the fourth quarter, making five of his six three-point attempts. After recording five 30-point stat lines in his first six NBA seasons, the Hawks' guard has seven such games during the 2025-26 campaign. Alexander-Walker is on track to be one of the heroes of the fantasy basketball season, as he has exceeded expectations by a significant margin.
Dyson Daniels
Dyson Daniels posts 17 points, 10 assists vs. MIL
Mon, Jan 19, 2026, 9:48 AM
Dyson Daniels amassed 17 points (8-of-16 FGs, 1-of-1 FTs), nine rebounds, 10 assists, three steals and one blocked shot in Monday's loss to the Bucks.
Analysis: Daniels, who recorded his seventh double-double of the season, finished three assists shy of his career-high on Monday. He was one rebound shy of his second triple-double, and Daniels has been a top-15 per-game player in nine-cat formats over the past two weeks. After getting off to a slow start, the Hawks' guard is headed in the right direction in terms of fantasy value.
Jalen Johnson
Jalen Johnson records 28/16/6 line vs. Milwaukee
Mon, Jan 19, 2026, 9:47 AM
Jalen Johnson accounted for 28 points (11-of-24 FGs, 3-of-6 FTs), 16 rebounds, six assists, one block and three three-pointers in Monday's loss to the Bucks.
Analysis: Johnson produced another excellent stat line, finishing with his 28th double-double of the season. At this time last season, which is about when a shoulder injury sidelined him for the remainder of the 2024-25 campaign, the Hawks forward had 20 double-doubles. Included in Monday's stat line were 16 rebounds, two shy of his season and career-high. Look for Johnson to continue to flourish, and it would be unsurprising if he were named an All-Star reserve later this month.
Corey Kispert
ATL starts NAW, Daniels, Kispert, Johnson, Okongwu
Mon, Jan 19, 2026, 6:42 AM
NBA Lineups
Nickeil Alexander-Walker, Dyson Daniels, Corey Kispert, Jalen Johnson and Onyeka Okongwu will start Monday's game against the Bucks.
Analysis: The Hawks welcome Daniels back after a one-game absence, and his return means that CJ McCollum will head back to the bench. That's one of two changes to the starting five, with Kispert being the other. He steps in for Vit Krej?í, who was the initial replacement for the injured Zaccharie Risacher. Kispert can provide three-pointers, but his overall streaming value is limited.
Dyson Daniels
Dyson Daniels (ankle) available Monday vs. MIL
Mon, Jan 19, 2026, 5:03 AM
NBA Injury Report
Dyson Daniels (ankle) is available for Monday's game against the Bucks.
Analysis: Daniels is back after sitting out Saturday's loss to the Celtics. His return gives the Hawks a needed boost defensively, and it will likely push CJ McCollum to the bench.
Kristaps Porzingis
Porzi??is (Achilles) out at least one more week
Mon, Jan 19, 2026, 4:40 AM
Kevin Chouinard
Kristaps Porzi??is (Achilles) will be re-evaluated in one week.
Analysis: Counting Monday's game against the Bucks, Porzi??is has missed Atlanta's last six games with left Achilles tendinitis. His continued absence means more rotation minutes for Mouhamed Gueye, who has served as the primary backup to Onyeka Okongwu. Recent signing Christian Koloko may also get some run, but neither he nor Gueye is in a position to affect fantasy basketball.
Kristaps Porzingis
Kristaps Porzi??is (Achilles) out Monday vs. MIL
Sun, Jan 18, 2026, 11:16 AM
NBA Injury Report
Kristaps Porzi??is (Achilles) is out for Monday's game against the Bucks.
Analysis: Porzi??is will miss a sixth consecutive game as he deals with an Achilles tendon injury. Mouhamed Gueye should remain the first option off the bench behind starter Onyeka Okongwu, with Asa Newell picking up a few minutes as the third option.
Dyson Daniels
Dyson Daniels (ankle) questionable Monday vs. MIL
Sun, Jan 18, 2026, 11:13 AM
NBA Injury Report
Dyson Daniels (ankle) is questionable for Monday's game against the Bucks.
Analysis: Daniels was held out of Saturday's loss to the Celtics, leading to CJ McCollum moving into the starting lineup and playing 27 minutes. McCollum would likely retain that role if Daniels misses a second game, making him worthy of a look in deep leagues.
