Atlanta Hawks DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Cleveland Cavaliers guard/forward Caris LeVert (wrist) is probable for Sunday's showdown with the Nuggets. Levert has battled wrist soreness throughout the season. But he sat out Friday's win over the Philadelphia 76ers because of it. However, he should be back on the floor versus the champs. Despite coming off the bench in most appearances, the 29-year-old has averaged 13.6 points and 5.3 assists this season. While he's not as productive as he was in Brooklyn, he's still worthy of a spot in any DFS lineup. With that in mind, LeVert's impending return should mean less work for Marcus Morris Sr., Georges Niang, and Sam Merrill.

New Orleans Pelicans guard Dyson Daniels (knee) will play on Saturday against Boston. The 21-year-old had averaged 5.5 points, 3.7 rebounds, and 1.4 steals before going down with a knee injury that resulted in surgery. But after being on the shelf for over a month, he'll be back on the floor, although he may be limited in his first game back. At any rate, with Jose Alvarado (oblique) out, Daniels should see enough work to keep Jordan Hawkin off the floor, giving him some potential as a DFS value option.

New Orleans Pelicans guard Dyson Daniels (knee) appears ready to rejoin the lineup on Saturday versus Boston, as the team has listed him as probable on the injury report. The versatile guard hasn't played since Feb. 8, missing 21 games. However, Daniels returned to game action in the G League earlier in the week and should now also suit up for the Pelicans. The 21-year-old has averaged 5.5 points, 3.7 rebounds, and 2.6 assists in 21.9 minutes for the season. With Jose Alvarado (oblique) out of the lineup, Daniels will have an opportunity to pick up extra shifts off the bench, although his minutes might be monitored following his long absence.

Cleveland Cavaliers guard/forward Caris LeVert (wrist) won't be in the lineup on Friday versus Philadelphia. The team has downgraded LeVert from questionable to out as the 29-year-old battles a sore right wrist. LeVert has struggled badly in the most recent games and having some time off could even be good for him. Donovan Mitchell (nose) will be back on Friday, which will lessen the impact of LeVert's absence. Isaac Okoro and Sam Merrill could play bigger roles off the bench without LeVert, especially with Craig Porter Jr. (illness) also unavailable on Friday.

Atlanta Hawks forward/center Onyeka Okongwu (toe) won't play on Saturday versus the Bucks. He's been battling a toe sprain and recently missed a month. Although the 23-year-old returned for a few games, he'll now be sidelined for a fifth consecutive contest. Jalen Johnson (ankle) has a chance to return against Milwaukee, which could help lessen the blow. At the same time, Bruno Fernando, coming off a 6-point, four-rebound effort, has value for DFS managers who don't mind taking a chance.
