Luguentz

Dort

After missing three games with a sprained ankle, Johnson is back and has reclaimed his place in the starting lineup. As a result, Luguentz Dort will come off the bench.

Johnson is back after missing the Hawks’ last three games with a sprained ankle. His return likely means that Luguentz Dort will come off the bench.

Dort hasn’t had the same role that he had with Oklahoma City, but it was a good game in this one. He’s having a similar output to last season in terms of efficiency, which isn’t great since he’s been below 40% from the field. He has been impactful on defense and has value there. He’s still a deeper league guy despite having a good performance. He has been notorious for being volatile in terms of his day-to-day performances. He’s worth a stream in start while keeping in mind that he might ruin your FG% category.

Johnson will miss a third straight game while recovering from a sprained left ankle. Luguentz Dort has started in the All-Star’s absence, but the production has been a mixed bag.

Johnson has missed Atlanta’s last two games, which has allowed Luguentz Dort to slide into the starting unit. He scored 14 points in his first start but was held to six points in the most recent one. Dort would likely start again if Johnson remains out.

Johnson will miss his second game in a row with a left ankle sprain. Luguentz Dort moved into the starting lineup and had 14 points and four three-pointers in 31minutes Monday against the Pacers. Dort could be in line for a similar role with Johnson out again.

Johnson, who sprained his ankle during Saturday’s loss to the Pelicans, did not play in Monday’s win over the Pacers. Luguentz Dort moved into the starting lineup, finishing with 14 points, two rebounds, one steal and four three-pointers in 31 minutes. He may take on a similar role if Johnson remains out on Wednesday.

With Jalen Johnson (ankle) sidelined, Dort slid into the starting unit. He set new season highs for minutes, points and three-pointers and was a solid fill-in for Johnson. However, Dort has never been an elite option in fantasy basketball. He saw a boost in production as a starter, but that won’t continue when the team is healthy. Managers shouldn’t be looking to add Dort off the waiver wire outside of deep leagues.

With Jalen Johnson (ankle) sidelined for this game, Dort will get his first start as a Hawk. It will be a smaller starting unit for Atlanta, though they’re playing against a Pacers squad with just seven healthy players. Dort’s defensive pressure alongside Daniels and NAW will be a challenge for Indiana.

After a left knee contusion kept him out of Thursday’s exhibition in San Antonio, Dort made his first appearance in a Hawks uniform on Saturday. He started, since Nickeil Alexander-Walker got the night off. While Dort gives the Hawks another quality wing defender to call upon, coming off the bench once the regular season begins likely eliminates what little fantasy value he would have as a starter. There’s no need to select him in 12-team drafts, and managers in 14-team leagues can pass as well.
