Atlanta Hawks DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Atlanta Hawks center Clint Capela (finger) will miss an eighth consecutive game on Thursday against the Miami Heat. After initially missing time for personal reasons, Capela was diagnosed with a ligament injury in the fourth metacarpal of his left hand. Following the diagnosis, he was ruled out for 3-4 weeks, meaning the 2024-25 regular season is likely over for Capela. It has been a disappointing campaign for the Swiss big man, who lost his starting job to Onyeka Okongwu in January. Okongwu has thrived in the role, averaging 14.8 points, 9.8 rebounds, 1.1 blocks, and 1.2 steals. Dominick Barlow and Mouhamed Gueye will take on the backup minutes with Capela unavailable.

Atlanta Hawks point guard Trae Young (Achilles) is probable for Thursday's tilt against the Miami Heat. He will likely be good to go for an eighth consecutive game despite dealing with tendinitis in his right Achilles tendon. This has been a nagging issue for Young throughout the season, but he has put together a strong campaign, averaging a big double-double with 24.1 points and 11.4 assists. Young has had four steaks of at least four consecutive double-doubles and could post a fifth in Thursday's game.

Atlanta Hawks forward Caris LeVert (knee) will suit up on Saturday versus the Warriors. The veteran has played well since being traded to Atlanta, averaging 16.4 points, 3.9 rebounds, and 1.0 steals. Fortunately, the knee soreness won't keep him off the floor. With so many injuries on the Atlanta roster, LeVert should remain involved enough to warrant consideration for any fantasy lineup, although his presence will likely mean less work for Georges Niang.

Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young (Achilles) is good to go for Saturday's meeting with the Warriors. The former Oklahoma Sooner was listed as probable heading into this contest. But that's nothing new, considering he's played through Achilles tendinitis for nearly the entire 2024-25 campaign. Young struggled versus Golden State when these clubs met back in November, amassing only 12 points and shooting 1-for-6 from behind the arc. Still, it's logical to assume he'll be much more productive, especially with so many injuries on the roster.
