Jalen Johnson's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Atlanta Hawks forward Jalen Johnson (shoulder) is questionable for Wednesday's game versus the visiting Pistons. He missed five games because of right shoulder inflammation. However, the 23-year-old has appeared in Atlanta's previous two contests, amassing a double-double in both. Atlanta will play the Raptors on Thursday, so head coach Quin Snyder may hold him out for precautionary reasons. If that's the case, there's several directions Snyder could go as far as the starting unit is concerned. But it's logical to assume De'Andre Hunter, Vit Krejci, and Dyson Daniels could benefit, although Trae Young would remain the favorite to lead the team in scoring.

Atlanta Hawks forward Jalen Johnson (shoulder) has officially been upgraded from probable to available on Monday and will play in his second game back from a five-game absence. The 23-year-old returned on Saturday against the Boston Celtics to the tune of 14 points, 13 rebounds, three assists, one steal, and one block across 38 minutes. Johnson is a quality start in all fantasy formats as he usually stuffs the stat sheet, especially when Trae Young is on the court as well. It could be more of a defensive battle against the Knicks on Monday as he'll likely go up against OG Anunoby and Mikal Bridges.

Atlanta Hawks forward Jalen Johnson (shoulder) is listed as probable for Monday's game against the New York Knicks. Johnson has been dealing with right shoulder inflammation that caused him to miss five games in a row before returning against Boston on Saturday. Johnson has been fantastic for the Hawks this year, averaging 19.7 PPG and 10.2 RPG. His 5.2 APG is a career high as well, making him a very well-rounded fantasy threat. The 23-year-old grabbed 15 rebounds in both matchups against New York this season while also averaging 22.0 PPG, making him a must start in all fantasy formats on Monday.

Atlanta Hawks forward Jalen Johnson (shoulder) is questionable for Saturday's matchup with the Celtics. The 23-year-old is having a fantastic season, averaging 19.8 points, 10.1 rebounds, 5.3 assists, and 1.1 blocks. He missed the last five games because of shoulder inflammation. But even if Johnson doesn't suit up on Saturday night, the questionable tag at least suggests he's moving in the right direction toward a return. De'Andre Hunter (foot), who is probable after missing the last two games, will be in line to start if Johnson doesn't play versus Boston. Yet, if Hunter is out as well, David Roddy, averaging 10.5 points, 5.0 rebounds, and 2.5 steals in two starts this season, would likely take over at the four spot.

Atlanta Hawks forward Jalen Johnson (shoulder) will not be available when the Hawks host the Suns on Tuesday. The 23-year-old is in the midst of a breakout season, averaging 19.8 points and 10.1 rebounds per game, but he has missed four of the last five games for the Hawks, including each of their last three games. Atlanta's Saturday matchup against the Rockets was postponed due to weather, so they'll actually end up facing the Suns in consecutive games. Last Thursday when Johnson was also out, Vit Krejci made a third straight start and played 26 minutes, producing 12 points, three rebounds, six assists, and one steal. Krejci should be a serviceable streaming option and DFS value while Johnson is out. Johnson's next chance to return will be Wednesday when the Hawks finish their back-to-back against the Bulls.
