Atlanta Hawks forward De'Andre Hunter (knee) is at Tuesday morning's shootaround. Out since late December after undergoing a non-surgical procedure on his right knee, the 26-year-old would appear to be on the right side of questionable for Tuesday's game versus the Los Angeles Lakers as Atlanta continues their six-game homestand. Over 22 games without Hunter this season, Saddiq Bey has averaged 13.4 points, 7.2 rebounds, 1.9 assists, and 1.5 threes but would lose fantasy appeal upon Hunter's return.
Atlanta Hawks forward De'Andre Hunter (knee) has been listed as questionable for Tuesday's clash with the Lakers. It's the first time he's earned the questionable tag after undergoing a procedure on his right knee last month and missing 19 games. Hunter's return will be bad news for Saddiq Bey, who will likely have to relinquish his starting job. However, that might not happen immediately as Hunter could be limited in his first outings following the long layoff.
Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young (concussion protocol) has received the questionable tag for the Friday night game against the Dallas Mavericks. He still hasn't fully cleared concussion protocol just yet, so fantasy managers will have to wait and see if he can get through it before tipoff on Friday. In the two games that he's missed so far, the Hawks have suffered a 15-point and 22-point loss during a mini west coast swing. Missing their star guard who's averaging 26.9 points and 10.8 assists per game is always hard to overcome. If he misses his third consecutive game, Dejounte Murray will receive a bump in usage again while Bogdan Bogdanovic should remain in the starting lineup.
Atlanta Hawks center Clint Capela (calf) has been tagged as questionable on Friday as he's dealing with a left calf contusion. The veteran big man has been on and off the injury report but ultimately has only missed two games so far this season. As long as he's healthy, his value in points, boards, blocks, and efficiency is very high, especially for a later-round draft pick in many fantasy drafts. Capela is averaging 11.2 points, 10.4 rebounds, 1.0 assists, and 1.6 blocks per game while shooting 56.7% from the floor on 8.2 shots a night. Fantasy managers relying on that production will want to check back when tipoff approaches to see if he's upgraded to active for this contest.
Atlanta Hawks point guard Trae Young (concussion) has been ruled out for the team's Wednesday game against the Golden State Warriors. The star point guard suffered a concussion against the Cavaliers on January 20th and missed the last game while in the concussion protocol. Remaining in protocol on Wednesday, Dejounte Murray and Bogdan Bogdanovic are expected to be the starting backcourt in Young's absence. Both players are likely to experience a significant increase in usage with Young out, providing ample opportunities for production. Young has been averaging 26.8 points and 10.8 assists in 36 minutes per game this season.
