Atlanta Hawks DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Atlanta Hawks forward Jalen Johnson (shoulder) will be active against Detroit on Wednesday. He has shaken off a questionable tag ahead of the contest and will take the court for a third consecutive game. Johnson recently missed five games due to shoulder inflammation, and his shooting has been off since his return. Atlanta's rising star has managed only 9-for-25 from the field over the past two games. He has finished four consecutive appearances without at least 20 points for the first time this season.

Atlanta Hawks point guard Trae Young (Achilles) will play against Detroit on Wednesday. He has been upgraded from probable to available. Young is a regular on the injury report but has missed only a handful of games during the campaign and typically carries a heavy load when he's on the court. The star guard has averaged 23.3 points and 11.7 assists in 35.8 minutes. He racked up a 35-point double-double in this season's first head-to-head clash against Cade Cunningham and the Pistons.

Atlanta Hawks forward Jalen Johnson (shoulder) is questionable for Wednesday's game versus the visiting Pistons. He missed five games because of right shoulder inflammation. However, the 23-year-old has appeared in Atlanta's previous two contests, amassing a double-double in both. Atlanta will play the Raptors on Thursday, so head coach Quin Snyder may hold him out for precautionary reasons. If that's the case, there's several directions Snyder could go as far as the starting unit is concerned. But it's logical to assume De'Andre Hunter, Vit Krejci, and Dyson Daniels could benefit, although Trae Young would remain the favorite to lead the team in scoring.

Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young (Achilles) is listed as probable ahead of Wednesday's game against the Detroit Pistons. Young has been tagged on the injury report for quite some time due to this Achilles issue. However, Young has only missed one game this month, so the chances of him sitting out on Wednesday are low. Fantasy managers should check back ahead of tip-off on Wednesday just in case something changes. Vit Krejci would likely see more playing time if Young is unable to play. He's well worth a look as a streaming choice, especially with increased playing time.

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Caris LeVert (wrist) was a late addition to the Cavs' injury report for their Monday matchup with the Suns, and he was downgraded to out an hour before tip-off. LeVert started on Saturday with Evan Mobley (calf) out, but now he'll join Mobley and Isaac Okoro (shoulder) on the sidelines. In his absence, Max Strus and Ty Jerome will be strong DFS streaming options. Jerome had a great game with 15 points, four rebounds, four assists, and one steal against the Timberwolves on Friday. Especially with LeVert out as well, Jerome will be in a strong spot Monday afternoon.
