Atlanta Hawks DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Atlanta Hawks guard/forward Dyson Daniels (ankle) is not on the injury report for Tuesday's matchup against the Houston Rockets. He is poised to return from a one-game absence. Daniels leads the NBA in steals this season, and he has also stepped up offensively in recent times. Three of Daniels' five 20-point efforts this season have come in his past five appearances. However, on Tuesday, Daniels faces a top defensive team, making scoring difficult for him.

Atlanta Hawks point guard Trae Young (hamstring) will return to the lineup for Tuesday's tilt against the Houston Rockets. He sat out Monday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Keaton Wallace stepped in for Young in the starting lineup and had a good game with 13 points, seven assists, and two steals. But it wouldn't be surprising to see him fall out of the rotation on Tuesday. Young has struggled recently, failing to reach the 20-point plateau in three consecutive appearances. However, he appears to be in a good bounce-back spot, as the Rockets allow the fourth-most points per game to the point guard position.

Atlanta Hawks guard Dyson Daniels (ankle) won't play on Monday against Minnesota. The 21-year-old popped up on the injury report on Monday because of ankle soreness. Unfortunately, he won't be on the floor versus the Timberwolves, joining Trae Young (hamstring), Jalen Johnson (shoulder), and Larry Nance Jr. (hand, injury management) on the shelf. As a result, Zaccharie Risacher (adductor), De'Andre Hunter (illness), Vit Krejci, and Onyeka Okongwu may all benefit from a production standpoint. Keaton Wallace, who was recalled from the G League, could also be in line for added scoring opportunities and minutes.

Cleveland Cavaliers shooting guard Caris LeVert (wrist) has been ruled out ahead of Monday's game against the Detroit Pistons. The shooting guard will miss his fifth game in a row due to a right wrist sprain. He has played in 34 games this season and missed 11. LeVert has revitalized his game, becoming a highly effective scorer and all-around defensive contributor averaging 10.8 points and 3.8 assists while shooting 42% from beyond the arc. His next chance to suit up will come Wednesday against the Miami Heat. Ty Jerome will continue to benefit from his ongoing absence.

Atlanta Hawks forward Larry Nance Jr. (hand) is questionable for Monday's meeting with the Timberwolves. The veteran missed nearly a month after undergoing surgery on his right hand. But he returned on Saturday against the Raptors, finishing with four points in 20 minutes. The Hawks play consecutive games on Monday and Tuesday, so head coach Quin Snyder may keep him out for one of them. But with Trae Young (hamstring) and Jalen Johnson (shoulder) ruled out, and De'Andre Hunter (illness) and Zaccharie Risacher (adductor) questionable, Nance may find himself in the starting lineup, just like he was on Saturday. But depending on who is available, David Roddy may begin the game on the court, with the 23-year-old averaging 10.5 points, 5.0 rebounds, and 2.5 steals in two starts this season.
