Atlanta Hawks DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Caris LeVert (hand) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. LeVert has missed the last seven games due to a hand injury, but has a chance at getting back on the court here. The expectation is that LeVert would be under a minutes limit if he does suit up. If he sits, Ty Jerome and Max Strus would continue seeing a larger role in the rotation. Both players have been fairly decent fantasy options lately. Jerome appears to be the slightly better streaming option between the two. Jerome has finished with 15 points or more in five of his last six games.

Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young (hamstring) is expected to play on Saturday against Indiana. The veteran has been routinely listed on the Hawks' injury report all season, mostly for a foot issue. But hamstring tightness kept him off the floor for a recent meeting with the Timberwolves, although he's been active for Atlanta's previous two contests. With Clint Capela (back), Jalen Johnson (shoulder), and Bogdan Bogdanovic (personal) all sidelined, Young has a higher ceiling versus the Pacers, a team that has allowed 114.8 points per contest during the 2024-25 campaign. However, if he suffers a setback and doesn't suit up, Keaton Wallace, averaging 15.7 points and 7.0 assists in three starts this season, would likely fill his spot in the rotation.

Atlanta Hawks center Clint Capela (back) remains out on Saturday against the Pacers. The 30-year-old will now miss his third-straight game due to back spasms. Onyeka Okongwu, who had already been promoted to the starting lineup over Capela, will continue to operate at the five, with Larry Nance Jr., who has struggled in his three games since returning from a hand injury, will continue to operate from off the bench.

Atlanta Hawks point guard Trae Young (hamstring) is officially available for Thursday's contest against the Cleveland Cavaliers. The team has upgraded him from probable. Young has produced a pair of big efforts against Cleveland this season and is expected to do much of the heavy lifting again offensively, with Jalen Johnson (shoulder) and Bogdan Bogdanovic (personal) out of the lineup. Keaton Wallace lacks fantasy appeal with Young available and is unlikely to have a significant role on Thursday.

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Caris LeVert (wrist) will not play Thursday against the Hawks as the Cavs finish their back-to-back. This will be the team's seventh straight game without LeVert, who is dealing with a right wrist sprain. While he has been out, guards Ty Jerome and Sam Merrill have had a chance to step up, and Jerome has been especially effective lately, averaging 18.4 points, 3.2 rebounds, and 3.2 assists in 25.7 minutes per game over his last five contests. Jerome will be a solid streaming and DFS option for as long as LeVert remains sidelined.
