Atlanta Hawks guard Dyson Daniels (hip) won't play on Wednesday against the Wizards. The former Pelican has a hip flexor strain, which is unfortunate, considering he is averaging career-highs in points (12.8), rebounds (4.3), steals (2.8), and blocks (1.0). The Hawks also won't have Bogdan Bogdanovic (hamstring) and Vit Krejci (adductor) on Wednesday night. At the same time, De'Andre Hunter (knee) is questionable. As a result, Garrison Mathews and Zaccharie Risacher could work their way into the starting lineup while seeing plenty of minutes, giving them value for fantasy managers.
Atlanta Hawks guard/forward Vit Krejci (groin) was limited to 10 minutes in Monday's matchup against Washington. He left the contest in the second quarter due to a right adductor strain. Krejci had seven points and one steal before his exit. He has averaged 4.5 points in 14.0 minutes for the season. Krejci doesn't play a large part in the rotation, but Atlanta is already battling injuries, with De'Andre Hunter (knee), Kobe Bufkin (shoulder), and Bogdan Bogdanovic (hamstring) all out. Garrison Mathews, Larry Nance Jr., and David Roddy could be in for a busy night off the pine when the Hawks have a rematch against Washington.
According to Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network, Atlanta Hawks forwardDe'Andre Hunter(knee) will be unavailable for Monday's game against the Wizards due to right knee inflammation. It will be the second consecutive game the 26-year-old has missed, as he didn't suit up against the Thunder on Sunday. Fantasy managers look for Zaccharie Risacher andDavid Roddyto see more action in relief of Hunter.
Atlanta Hawks center Onyeka Okongwu (toe) played in the first half of the team's back-to-back, but will not suit up for the second half on Monday. The big man is listed as out with toe injury management after he played 23 minutes on Sunday and registered 14 points, three rebounds, one assist, and one steal. We've entered another season waiting for him to become the starter, but Clint Capela remains in the starting five and should see extra minutes on Monday. Larry Nance Jr. will likely see more minutes off of the bench too.
Atlanta Hawks forward De'Andre Hunter (knee) has suffered some right knee inflammation and is considered questionable again on Monday. He went into Sunday's game with a questionable tag and was downgraded to out at the time. After sitting out the first half of a back-to-back, Hunter may have a better chance to play but fantasy managers will want to check back 90 minutes before tip-off to make sure. If he doesn't play, Zaccharie Risacher should get some extra run while David Roddy sees some minutes in relief.
