Dyson Daniels DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy 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 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.

Atlanta Hawks guard Dyson Daniels (illness) has been listed as active for Wednesday night's game against the Denver Nuggets. Daniels had missed the last two games with an illness but is able to suit up in Denver on Wednesday. Daniels has been a rewarding fantasy option from a defensive perspective, averaging 3.1 steals per game and 0.9 blocks with the Hawks this season. As an offensive producer, there's a bigger question mark, as he averages just 13.0 points per game. But when combined with his defensive stats, he becomes an intriguing fantasy option. With the Hawks set to play in a high-paced game in Denver and with Atlanta already missing Jalen Johnson, more opportunities may be coming Daniels' way. He's an intriguing option for Wednsday night in all fantasy formats.
