Atlanta Hawks DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young (hamstring) won't play on Monday against the Timberwolves. Usually, the former Oklahoma Sooner is listed on the injury report because of an Achilles issue. However, he's battling hamstring tightness, so he'll miss his fourth game of the 2024-25 campaign. The Hawks will also be without Jalen Johnson (shoulder), and with De'Andre Hunter (illness) and Zaccharie Risacher (adductor) questionable, the team could see expanded production from Vit Krejci and Dyson Daniels on Monday night.

Cleveland Cavaliers guard/forward Caris LeVert (wrist) will remain out on Saturday against the Houston Rockets, missing his fourth consecutive game. LeVert is dealing with a wrist sprain and was initially listed as questionable for the game. With LeVert sidelined and Dean Wade (knee) going down in Friday's matchup against the Philadelphia 76ers, Ty Jerome logged 33 minutes off the Cavaliers bench. He went off for a career-high 33 points on an incredible 8-for-8 three-point shooting. We can expect to see Jerome in a significant role again on Saturday.

Atlanta Hawks forward Larry Nance Jr. (hand) will play on Saturday versus the Raptors. The veteran hasn't played in nearly a month after undergoing surgery on his right hand. Under normal circumstances, Nance doesn't usually see much action. However, with Jalen Johnson (shoulder), De'Andre Hunter (illness), and Zaccharie Risacher (hamstring) sidelined, Nance could be more involved than initially planned. Still, David Roddy, who will likely start, should see plenty of minutes at the four, giving him streaming appeal for fantasy managers.

Atlanta Hawks center Clint Capela (knee) will play in Saturday's rematch with the Raptors. The veteran didn't suit up when the Hawks and Raptors met on Thursday because of right knee soreness, his first absence of the 2024-25 campaign. But after carrying a questionable designation, he's good to go. Capela was recently bumped from the starting lineup in favor of Onyeka Okongwu. However, with Jalen Johnson (shoulder), De'Andre Hunter (illness), and Zaccharie Risacher (hamstring) sidelined, Capela could see more minutes than usual from off the bench.

Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young (hamstring) will play on Saturday against the Raptors. The former Oklahoma Sooner is usually listed on the injury report because of a nagging Achilles issue. However, hamstring tightness was the culprit heading into Saturday night. The Hawks are in trouble, with Jalen Johnson (shoulder), Zaccharie Risacher (hamstring), and De'Andre Hunter (illness) all sidelined. But those injuries could at least open the door for more production from Young, who has averaged 22.9 points and 11.7 assists this season.
