Atlanta Hawks

Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young (Achilles) won't play in Tuesday's meeting with the Celtics. He's dealing with right Achilles Tendinitis, with Tuesday's absence marking his first of the 2024-25 campaign. Outside of Young's turnover woes and 33.3% shooting from behind the arc, he has played well this season, averaging 23.9 points and 11.5 assists. As such, the Hawks will need others to step up without him on the floor on Tuesday (and possibly beyond). Keaton Wallace, averaging 5.4 points this season, will likely slide into the starting lineup and draw streaming attention from fantasy managers. At the same time, Zaccharie Risacher, Jalen Johnson, and Dyson Daniels should see an uptick in scoring chances.

Atlanta Hawks forward De'Andre Hunter (personal) has been ruled out ahead of Tuesday's game against the Boston Celtics. Hunter has missed the last nine games due to personal reasons. It sounds like him and his partner have welcomed their first child, but the baby was born two months premature. It's unclear when Hunter is going to return to the court. In the meantime, Zaccharie Risacher should continue starting for the Hawks. The rookie forward has put together some nice performances and is worth a look with the Hawks shorthanded right now.

Atlanta Hawks forward De'Andre Hunter (knee) remains out for Saturday's matchup with the Chicago Bulls. He's appeared in only two games this season, most recently finishing with 24 points and seven boards in the win over the Hornets on October 25. However, he hasn't been on the floor since, so Saturday will mark his ninth-consecutive absence. It's unknown when Hunter will be ready to return. But until he does, Zaccharie Risacher, averaging 12.9 points, 4.5 rebounds, 1.3 steals, and 1.0 blocks in eight starts this season, has a place in fantasy lineups.

Atlanta Hawks forward De'Andre Hunter (knee) will remain sidelined for an eighth consecutive game after officially being ruled out for Friday's game against the Detroit Pistons. Hunter continues to be listed with injury management for his right knee. While Bogdan Bogdanovic (hamstring) is also out, Zaccharie Risacher and Dyson Daniels are the two best streaming options while David Roddy and Garrison Mathews could serve some spot starts here and there.

Atlanta Hawks forward David Roddy (illness) will play on Wednesday versus the Knicks. He was dealing with an illness, resulting in a questionable designation. However, the 23-year-old will be out there. With De'Andre Hunter (knee) still out, Roddy, who had 11 points, six boards, and three assists in Monday's loss to the Boston Celtics, should warrant streaming consideration.
