Atlanta Hawks DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young (rib) is expected to play on Saturday versus the Celtics. He has been dealing with a rib contusion, keeping him off the floor for Wednesday's win over the Chicago Bulls. Keaton Wallace got the start in that one and finished with a game-high 27 points. However, with Young likely to return against Boston, Wallace probably won't be as productive, assuming he's active.

Atlanta Hawks forward Jalen Johnson (shoulder) is questionable for Saturday's matchup with the Celtics. The 23-year-old is having a fantastic season, averaging 19.8 points, 10.1 rebounds, 5.3 assists, and 1.1 blocks. He missed the last five games because of shoulder inflammation. But even if Johnson doesn't suit up on Saturday night, the questionable tag at least suggests he's moving in the right direction toward a return. De'Andre Hunter (foot), who is probable after missing the last two games, will be in line to start if Johnson doesn't play versus Boston. Yet, if Hunter is out as well, David Roddy, averaging 10.5 points, 5.0 rebounds, and 2.5 steals in two starts this season, would likely take over at the four spot.

Los Angeles Clippers guard Terance Mann (calf) is listed as questionable for Thursday night's road matchup with the Trail Blazers. Mann only played eight minutes on Wednesday in the first half of the team's back-to-back, and his role has been fairly minimal lately. However, if he does play on Thursday, there should be more work available since Kawhi Leonard (knee) is out for injury management. If Mann is sidelined in addition to Leonard, more work would be available for Amir Coffey and Kris Dunn.

Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young (hip) won't play on Wednesday versus Chicago. The 26-year-old is fresh off a massive performance, amassing 43 points, five assists, and three steals in Tuesday's win over the Phoenix Suns. Unfortunately, Young won't suit up on Wednesday, only his third absence of the 2024-25 campaign. The Hawks are severely thin against the Bulls, with De'Andre Hunter (foot), Jalen Johnson (shoulder), and Zaccharie Risacher (adductor) also ruled out. As a result, Dyson Daniels, Onyeka Okongwu, Vit Krejci, and Bogdan Bogdanovic are all in line to exceed their usual fantasy expectations.

Atlanta Hawks point guard Trae Young (illness) will play against Phoenix on Tuesday. He has been upgraded from questionable to available. This should be a big boost for the Hawks, who remain without Jalen Johnson (shoulder). Young is a walking double-double and recently had his third 20-20 game of the season. However, the Suns found a way to slow down Young last week when he finished a 123-115 loss with 21 points and seven assists.
