Atlanta Hawks DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Caris LeVert (knee) will return for Wednesday's contest against the Pelicans. The 30-year-old missed the Cavs' previous two games because of right knee soreness, opening the door for more minutes for Isaac Okoro and Sam Merrill. While Okoro should continue to start with Dean Wade (illness) and Max Strus (ankle) sidelined, LeVert's presence could lower his ceiling. Merrill, who had 12 points, five boards, and two steals in 27 minutes on Monday versus the Bucks, is still worth streaming in deeper fantasy formats.

Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young (rib) will play on Wednesday versus the Knicks. The 26-year-old was limited to only 23 minutes because of a rib injury in Monday's loss to the Boston Celtics. But he's good to go for the meeting with New York. Young has averaged 23.9 points, 11.0 assists, and 1.3 steals this season. Yet, he's logged 4.9 turnovers and shot 30.7% from behind the arc. Still, Young remains a top fantasy option, especially since his shooting woes should come to an end at some point.

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Caris LeVert (knee) is questionable for Wednesday's matchup with the Pelicans. The veteran has missed the last two games because of right knee soreness. But with Max Strus (ankle) and Dean Wade (illness) sidelined, LeVert could see some meaningful minutes if he plays. But if he isn't ready to return, Isaac Okoro and Sam Merrill should continue to benefit, with the latter amassing 12 points, five boards, and two steals in 27 minutes in Monday's two-point win over the Bucks.

Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young (rib) is expected to play on Wednesday versus the visiting Knicks. The 26-year-old logged only 23 minutes in Monday's loss to the Boston Celtics, exiting the contest prematurely due to a rib injury. Fortunately, it looks like he'll be good to go. Young has averaged 23.9 points, 11.0 assists, and 1.3 steals this season. However, he's logged 4.9 turnovers per game and shot a career-low 30.7% from behind the arc. With that said, if Young ends up getting ruled out, Keaton Wallace, who had six points, four rebounds, two steals, and two blocks on Monday, could be worth a start for those in need of a streaming option.

Atlanta Hawks point guard Trae Young (rib) was limited to 23 minutes in Monday's blowout loss to Boston. He left the game in the third quarter due to a right rib sprain. It was a miserable night for Young, as he notched only two points on 1-for-10 shooting, missing all six attempts from three-point land. Keaton Wallace has received plenty of usage in recent games and could now get even more action if Young has to take some time off. Atlanta is short of options at the point guard position, with Kobe Bufkin (shoulder) already on the shelf.
