Jalen

Johnson

Johnson has missed Atlanta’s two games with shoulder inflammation, but he could return to take on Detroit. Mouhamed Gueye has been starting in place of Johnson and would get another opportunity to start if Johnson remains out. Gueye had a double-double as a starter on Saturday but was quiet in Monday’s blowout win over the Grizzlies.

Johnson is set to miss another game with a shoulder injury as he’s been ruled out for Monday’s game against the Grizzlies. Mouhamed Gueye moved into the starting lineup for Saturday’s win over the Warriors and had 16 points and four three-pointers. Gueye figures to get another start with Johnson sidelined.

Johnson did not play in Saturday’s win over the Warriors, with Mouhamed Gueye replacing him in the starting lineup. Gueye had one of his best games as a pro, shooting 6-of-6 from the field and tallying 16 points and four three-pointers. He’ll likely get another start if Johnson can’t play on Monday.

The Hawks won’t have Jalen Johnson (shoulder) for Saturday’s game. It will be Gueye who fills the void in the starting lineup, with Jonathan Kuminga coming off the bench. The promotion gives Gueye a modest boost, but he is not worth the risk in redraft leagues.

A late addition to the injury report, Johnson will not play against the Warriors. Jonathan Kuminga could move into the starting lineup, as he was the replacement the last time Johnson missed a game due to injury.

Absent from the Hawks’ initial injury report for Saturday’s game, Johnson is now considered questionable. Obviously, that is not the trend the Hawks or fantasy managers want to see. If Johnson can’t play on Saturday, Jonathan Kuminga could make a spot start against his former team.

Atlanta’s 11-game win streak came to a screeching halt on Friday, with the Rockets doing a good job of limiting Johnson’s overall impact. The three assists were the fewest he’s had in a game that he’s played at least 20 minutes since October 27. That alone is a reminder of how productive Johnson has been this season. It would be unsurprising if he rebounded with a big night against the Warriors on Saturday.

Johnson didn’t have his best night shooting the basketball, but he finished one assist shy of a triple-double on Wednesday. Since the All-Star break, the Hawks’ forward has provided second-round value in eight-cat formats, which aligns with his season-long value. And with Atlanta’s 11-game win streak, they’re now one game in the loss column out of sixth in the East.

On a night when Nickeil Alexander-Walker dropped a career-high 41 points, Johnson recorded his second triple-double in as many games and 13th of the season. The Hawks’ star continues to provide elite fantasy value, and he has been a second-round player in eight-cat formats since the All-Star break. The Hawks play three more games in Week 21, starting with the Mavericks on Wednesday.

Johnson recorded his 12th triple-double of the season on Saturday, as he and the Hawks took advantage of a Bucks team that did not have Giannis Antetokounmpo. The Hawks’ star forward has provided first-round fantasy value throughout the season, and he’s shown no signs of slippage heading into the fantasy playoff weeks. The Hawks play four games in Week 21, starting with the Magic on Monday.
