Atlanta Hawks DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Caris LeVert (knee) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Atlanta Hawks, marking his fourth consecutive absence due to left knee injury management. The 30-year-old plays a key role off the bench for the Cavaliers, averaging 24.4 minutes and 11.8 points per game this season. His absence could lead to increased opportunities for Isaac Okoro, Sam Merrill, and Georges Niang. LeVert's next chance to return will come Friday against Atlanta.

Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young (Achilles) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers due to right Achilles tendinitis. The 26-year-old could miss just his second game of the season, which would be a blow for fantasy managers given his stellar play this year. Young has been dishing out assists at an elite level, recording double-digit assists in four consecutive games. He's been a consistent presence on the court, averaging 35.9 minutes, 21.9 points, and 11.9 assists per game this season. If Young is unable to suit up, others in the Hawks' backcourt, including Kobe Bufkin, could see increased opportunities.

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Caris LeVert (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Toronto Raptors. LeVert will miss his second game in a row due to left knee inflammation. He'll be joined by Dean Wade (ankle) on the sideline for Sunday, which leaves the Cavs shorthanded. Isaac Okoro (ankle) is expected to take on a bigger role in the rotation if he's cleared. Otherwise, Sam Merrill and Jaylon Tyson are candidates to see larger workloads. Tyson is coming off a strong outing where he dropped 16 points and 11 rebounds on Wednesday. He's worth a look as a streaming option with the Cavs banged up at the moment.

Atlanta Hawks forward Jalen Johnson (leg) is active for Wednesday night's game against the Golden State Warriors. Johnson missed Monday night's game with leg inflammation but will be back in action against a fast-paced Warriors team that is prone to giving up points in the paint. With the 22-year-old averaging 19.4 PPG, 9.9 RPG and 5.4 APG he remains a must start in all fantasy formats. DFS managers need to find a way to get Johnson into their lineups as well. The forward has the potential to make a large impact on Wednesday night in a game with a high expected total.

On Wednesday, Cleveland Cavaliers guard Caris LeVert (knee) will not suit up against the New Orleans Pelicans. LeVert will miss his second straight game due to inflammation in his left knee. Luckily, he will have more extra days of rest since the Cavs' next game is on Sunday versus Toronto. With LeVert missing in action, Georges Niang and Craig Porter could see an uptick in minutes on the floor versus the Pelicans.
