Georges Niang DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

Atlanta Hawks forward Georges Niang (rest) is off the injury report and ready to play on Tuesday against the Orlando Magic. The Hawks rested Niang on Sunday against the Magic but will bring him back into the lineup for the crucial play-in game. After landing in Atlanta from the Cleveland Cavaliers in February, Niang has carved out a solid role for himself in the rotation, posting 12.1 points with 41.3 percent shooting from downtown. Additionally, he has recorded 3.0 rebounds and 1.6 assists per game in 23.0 minutes. However, Niang has notched only 8.0 points in 21.8 minutes against Orlando's tough defense this season.

Atlanta Hawks forward Georges Niang (illness) has been ruled out ahead of Monday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. Niang has seen more time on the court since being traded from the Cleveland Cavaliers at the deadline. His absence opens up additional playing time for Mouhamed Gueye and Terance Mann in the rotation. Between the two, Mann is the better streaming choice ahead of Monday's contest. Mann has scored 13 points or more in each of the last three games. The 28-year-old has also played 26 minutes or more during that span, so he figures to see more of a role during Monday's game.

Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Networkreports that Atlanta Hawks forwardGeorges Niang won't debut with his new club on Friday versus the Milwaukee Bucks. The trade that recently sent him from the Cavs is still being finalized. Niang's next chance to play is on Saturday on the road versus the Wizards in Washington. The 31-year-old, across 51 games in Cleveland, averaged 8.7 points, 3.7 rebounds, and 1.3 assists in 20.6 minutes per contest. His role with his new team is uncertain, so he will likely have a limited impact on fantasy for now.
