Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young (rib) will play on Wednesday versus the Knicks. The 26-year-old was limited to only 23 minutes because of a rib injury in Monday's loss to the Boston Celtics. But he's good to go for the meeting with New York. Young has averaged 23.9 points, 11.0 assists, and 1.3 steals this season. Yet, he's logged 4.9 turnovers and shot 30.7% from behind the arc. Still, Young remains a top fantasy option, especially since his shooting woes should come to an end at some point.
Atlanta Hawks forward De'Andre Hunter (knee) could be back in action against the Knicks on Wednesday. He has been listed as questionable for the game. Hunter has been absent for the last six contests, which has given Zaccharie Risacher an opportunity to roll with the starters. The top pick of this year's draft has struggled for consistency and was largely ineffective coming off the bench at the start of the season. Hunter, on the other hand, was in fine form before getting hurt, averaging 18.0 points and 6.5 rebounds with 40 percent shooting from deep.
Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young (rib) is expected to play on Wednesday versus the visiting Knicks. The 26-year-old logged only 23 minutes in Monday's loss to the Boston Celtics, exiting the contest prematurely due to a rib injury. Fortunately, it looks like he'll be good to go. Young has averaged 23.9 points, 11.0 assists, and 1.3 steals this season. However, he's logged 4.9 turnovers per game and shot a career-low 30.7% from behind the arc. With that said, if Young ends up getting ruled out, Keaton Wallace, who had six points, four rebounds, two steals, and two blocks on Monday, could be worth a start for those in need of a streaming option.
Atlanta Hawks point guard Trae Young (rib) was limited to 23 minutes in Monday's blowout loss to Boston. He left the game in the third quarter due to a right rib sprain. It was a miserable night for Young, as he notched only two points on 1-for-10 shooting, missing all six attempts from three-point land. Keaton Wallace has received plenty of usage in recent games and could now get even more action if Young has to take some time off. Atlanta is short of options at the point guard position, with Kobe Bufkin (shoulder) already on the shelf.
Atlanta Hawks forward Onyeka Okongwu (toe) has been added to the injury report ahead of Sunday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. It's the first game of a back-to-back set, so the Hawks might decide to give Okongwu a rest night on Sunday. He has been quiet since his 28-point outing during the season opener. Since then, Okongwu is averaging 8.5 points, 4.5 rebounds, and 0.3 blocks over his last four games. Larry Nance Jr. and Dominick Barlow figure to see extended playing time if Okongwu is unable to play on Sunday or Monday.
