Towns’ ‘playmaking has been unlocked’ vs. Hawks

Pierre Andresen explains why the Knicks should run the offense through Karl-Anthony Towns, who looks “rejuvenated” on both ends of the floor while the Hawks look “lost” after losses in Games four and five.

Rotoworld Player News

Onyeka Okongwu

ATL Forward-Center #17

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Onyeka Okongwu posted a full line on Tuesday with 16 points (6-of-10 FGs), five rebounds, four assists, one steal, one block and two three-pointers against the Knicks.

Okongwu continues to produce stat lines that play well for fantasy managers. Unfortunately, he has struggled to compete down low against Karl-Anthony Towns and Mitchell Robinson, which is why the Knicks outrebounded the Hawks 48-27. Okongwu is effective in many ways, but his struggles in the paint against bigger players have been evident in this series. He’ll need to be better in Game 6 for the Hawks to have a chance.
Dyson Daniels

ATL Guard #5

Dyson Daniels contributed 17 points (7-of-11 FGs), two rebounds, five assists and two three-pointers against the Knicks on Tuesday.

Daniels has made a big impact on this series for the Hawks, but he hasn’t done much scoring. However, that changed in this game, though it didn’t do much to help the Hawks’ chances. He didn’t get any steals in this game, but he was still making his presence felt on the defensive end, even if it didn’t do much to slow down Jalen Brunson. He’ll need to make more of an impact for the Hawks to stay alive in Game 6 on Thursday.
Jalen Johnson

ATL Forward #1

Jalen Johnson recorded a double-double on Tuesday with 18 points (7-of-15 FGs), 10 rebounds, six assists, two steals and one three-pointer in a 126-97 loss to the Knicks in Game 5.

Johnson struggled mightily in Game 4 on Saturday, and while he was more effective in this one, it wasn’t enough to get the Hawks on the right side of the scoreboard. He was better, but he hasn’t played to the level that Atlanta needs their All-Star to play at. He’ll need to make more of an impact on both ends of the floor in Game 6 on Thursday for the Hawks to avoid elimination.
Jalen Johnson

ATL Forward #1

Jalen Johnson finished Saturday’s Game 4 loss to the Knicks with 14 points (4-of-12 FGs, 5-of-5 FTs), three rebounds, five assists and one three-pointer.

Coming off of his most productive game of the series, Johnson struggled in Game 4. In addition to a 1-of-5 night from beyond the arc, the Hawks’ All-Star forward did not record any defensive stats. Give New York’s Josh Hart and OG Anunoby credit for their defensive work, but the Hawks need more from Johnson if they’re to win this series. Game 5 is on Tuesday in New York with the series tied at two games apiece.
Nickeil Alexander-Walker

ATL Guard #7

Nickeil Alexander accounted for 15 points (5-of-11 FGs), four rebounds, one assist and five three-pointers in Saturday’s Game 4 loss to the Knicks.

As a team, the Hawks shot 10-of-41 from beyond the arc on Saturday, and Alexander-Walker was responsible for five of the makes. While he had a good night shooting the basketball, the NBA’s Most Improved Player did not provide much value overall. And the Knicks have done a good job of defending Alexander-Walker thus far, as he’s scored 17 points or less in all four games. With the series tied at two games apiece, the teams return to New York for Game 5 on Tuesday.
CJ McCollum

ATL Guard #3

CJ McCollum recorded 17 points (8-of-15 FGs, 1-of-3 FTs), one rebound, three assists, one steal and two blocks in Saturday’s Game 4 loss to the Knicks.

While McCollum once again led the Hawks in scoring, the Knicks did a much better job of defending him in Game 4. The veteran guard missed all four of his three-point attempts, and the Hawks were 10-of-41 as a team. And with the Knicks playing far better than they did in Game 3, this was the recipe for a 16-point New York victory. McCollum and the Hawks will look to regain home-court advantage with a win on Tuesday in New York.
Nickeil Alexander-Walker

ATL Guard #7

Nickeil Alexander-Walker was named the NBA’s 2025-26 Most Improved Player.

Alexander-Walker exploded with a career year in his first season with the Hawks. The 27-year-old shooting guard averaged 20.8 points, 1.3 steals and 3.2 three-pointers while shooting 45 percent from the field and 39 percent from behind the three-point line. Alexander-Walker set the Hawks record for three-pointers made in a season. Atlanta holds a 2-1 series lead over the Knicks heading into Saturday’s Game 4.
Jonathan Kuminga

ATL Forward #0

Jonathan Kuminga produced 21 points (9-of-14 FGs, 1-of-2 FTs), four rebounds, one steal, one block and two three-pointers in the win over the Knicks on Thursday.

The Hawks’ most efficient scorer came off the bench on Thursday. Kuminga, acquired by Atlanta ahead of February’s trade deadline, showcased his big-game experience, finishing as one of three Hawks players to score 20 or more points in Game 3. Kuminga is averaging 20.0 points on 16-of-26 shooting in Atlanta’s two wins this series, compared to 8.0 points on 3-of-7 shooting in losses. He’ll have a chance to remain impactful in Saturday’s fourth game of the series.
Jalen Johnson

ATL Forward #1

Jalen Johnson tallied 24 points (8-of-19 FGs, 6-of-10 FTs), 10 rebounds, eight assists, two steals, one block and two three-pointers in the win over the Knicks on Thursday.

Johnson had his most productive game of the series in Game 3. While he left some points at the free-throw line and wasn’t very efficient from the field, he still found a way to lead Atlanta in scoring in his 38 minutes. But the fifth-year forward did more than just score points on Thursday; he led all players in assists and was one of two Hawks players to pull down double-digit rebounds. Much like throughout the regular season, Johnson stuffed the stat sheet and was a major contributor for the Hawks. They’ll hope to receive similar production from the first-time All-Star in Game 4.
CJ McCollum

ATL Guard #3

CJ McCollum added 23 points (8-of-19 FGs, 5-of-7 FTs), five rebounds, one assist, two steals, two blocks and two three-pointers in the win over the Knicks on Thursday.

McCollum came up big in the clutch for Atlanta on Thursday. Trailing by one point with under 20.0 seconds remaining, the veteran combo guard broke free on an inbounds play, possessed the ball, and calmly dribbled right into a mid-range pull-up jumper, which ended up being the go-ahead bucket. The final basket was only his second after halftime. Nonetheless, McCollum finished with at least 20 points for the third time this series. He’ll have a chance to extend his streak to four games and help Atlanta take a 3-1 series lead on Saturday.
