Atlanta Hawks guard Caris LeVert (knee) has been cleared to play ahead of Saturday's game against the Indiana Pacers. He was considered questionable coming into this game due to a knee issue, but it doesn't appear to be serious enough to hold him out of action. LeVert posted a dud on Thursday, but before that he had three straight games with 21 points or more. He has been fitting in nicely with the Hawks and seems to be a capable streaming option.


Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young (Achilles) is available to play ahead of Saturday's game against the Indiana Pacers. As expected, Young has been cleared to play after being listed as probable on the injury report. Young continues to be a regular on the injury report, but he played in eight straight games. The 26-year-old has posted four double-doubles in a row, so clearly the Achilles issue isn't impacting his performance on the court. Fantasy managers can get Young back in their lineups ahead of tip-off.


Indiana Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton (hip) has been ruled out ahead of Saturday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. Haliburton will miss his second game in a row due to a left hip strain. His next chance to get on the court will be Monday versus the Chicago Bulls. T.J. McConnell and Andrew Nembhard will continue to see increased playing time with Haliburton unavailable for this contest. It's also worth noting that Benedict Mathurin (wrist) is available to play, so he could see more scoring responsibilities on Saturday. Mathurin is the best fantasy choice here, but it's unclear if the team plans to limit his minutes during his first game back. That being said, fantasy managers might want to be cautious and avoid Mathurin in DFS contests.


Atlanta Hawks forward Terance Mann (quad) is available to play ahead of Saturday's game against the Indiana Pacers. Mann has been cleared to play after being considered questionable for this contest due to a quad issue. It doesn't sound like it was a serious issue as Mann will be back in action without missing any games. The 28-year-old has scored 12 points or more in five of his last six games. Mann should be viewed as a low-end streaming option right now.


Boston Celtics center Kristaps Porzingis (illness) has been ruled out ahead of Saturday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. The big man will miss his fifth game in a row due to a lingering illness. There seemed to be some hope that Porzingis would play on Saturday, but he'll ultimately be held out for at least one more game. Al Horford will move into the starting five and becomes a more appealing fantasy option. Sam Hauser and Luke Kornet should also see more run in the rotation with Porzingis sidelined.
