Atlanta Hawks DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Atlanta Hawks point guard Trae Young (Achilles) is considered probable for Wednesday's matchup against the New York Knicks. Despite dealing with Achilles tendinitis, Young has played in eight consecutive games and appears to be on track for another appearance at Madison Square Garden. There is no love lost between Young and the Knicks fans, and he has already had two outings at MSG this season, averaging 24.5 points and 8.5 assists with eight makes from downtown.

Atlanta Hawks center Clint Capela (undisclosed) will be inactive against the Orlando Magic on Monday. This will be the second straight game with Capela inactive while not appearing on the injury report. Overall, he will be out for an eighth consecutive game, as Capela recently battled back spasms. Onyeka Okongwu has taken over the starting gig at center, with Larry Nance Jr., Dominick Barlow, and Mouhamed Gueye providing cover for him. The latter will start Monday's contest alongside Okongwu.

Atlanta Hawks point guard Trae Young (Achilles) will be active against the Orlando Magic on Monday night. The Hawks star has once again shaken off a probable tag. Young has been on fire lately and has just been named to the All-Star Game as an injury replacement, so he'll head into Monday's matchup with great momentum. Over the last five games, Young has averaged 31.8 points and 11.8 assists while sinking 19 three-pointers.

Atlanta Hawks point guard Trae Young (Achilles) will be active against the Milwaukee Bucks on Friday. The team has upgraded him from probable to available. Young has played superbly in recent outings, finishing three consecutive appearances with 30-plus points and bagging two double-doubles during that stretch. He recorded a 35-point double-double in the last game against Milwaukee when these teams battled for a spot in the NBA Cup final.

Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Networkreports that Atlanta Hawks forwardGeorges Niang won't debut with his new club on Friday versus the Milwaukee Bucks. The trade that recently sent him from the Cavs is still being finalized. Niang's next chance to play is on Saturday on the road versus the Wizards in Washington. The 31-year-old, across 51 games in Cleveland, averaged 8.7 points, 3.7 rebounds, and 1.3 assists in 20.6 minutes per contest. His role with his new team is uncertain, so he will likely have a limited impact on fantasy for now.
