Luke

Kennard

Kennard is available after sitting out Sunday’s win over the Hornets. His return will likely result in fewer minutes for fellow reserve Keaton Wallace, who hasn’t done enough to merit being rostered in fantasy leagues.

After playing 24 minutes off the bench in Saturday’s win over the Pelicans, Kennard did not play in Sunday’s win over the Hornets. His absence coincided with Keaton Wallace’s return, and the point guard absorbed most of the minutes that would have gone to Kennard. Look for that to be the case if Kennard can’t play on Tuesday, but neither player needs to be rostered in most fantasy leagues.

Left hip inflammation will keep Kennard out of Sunday’s game after logging 24 minutes in Saturday’s win over the Pelicans. Asa Newell and Caleb Houstan may pick up additional minutes off the bench, but neither is worth the risk in fantasy leagues. However, Newell is the one with value in dynasty leagues, regardless of how little he’s played this season.

Kennard, who played 24 minutes in Saturday’s win over the Pelicans, is dealing with left hip inflammation. While his absence would not significantly affect fantasy basketball, it would leave the Hawks down a rotation guard. As a result, Caleb Houstan could be asked to take on a more prominent role after not seeing any action until the final two minutes on Saturday.

Risacher took a hard fall against the Suns on Sunday, so the fact he was questionable before this game is encouraging. He won’t be available, but this may not be a lengthy absence for him. Luke Kennard and Vit Krejčí should take on extra minutes with Risacher unavailable; Krejčí has been on fire lately and has a decent chance to start.

Risacher injured his left hip during Sunday’s win over the Suns, landing hard on the court after completing a two-handed dunk and losing grip of the rim. If he cannot play on Tuesday, more minutes would become available to Luke Kennard and Vit Krejčí, with the latter being the more productive option recently. There’s also a chance that rookie Asa Newell gets more run after logging nine minutes on Sunday, but there isn’t anything to gain from streaming him.

Neither Porziņģis nor Kennard played in Saturday’s win over the Lakers, with the former’s absence having a greater impact on the Hawks’ rotation. Onyeka Okongwu will likely return to the bench with KP back in the fold, with Kennard’s return meaning fewer minutes for rookie Asa Newell. While Okongwu should be rostered in most leagues, there’s no need to hold onto Newell if you streamed him on Saturday.

Kennard missed Friday night’s game against the Raptors with an illness as well. With the Hawks running low on point guard options with Trae Young also out, expect Keaton Wallace and Vit Krejci to play more minutes, though neither are likely to be good a good streaming option.

Kennard has been downgraded from questionable to out, leaving the Hawks without two rotation guards. The absence of Kennard and Trae Young means more minutes will be required of reserves Keaton Wallace and Vit Krejćí. Neither player is likely to put up the numbers to merit streaming, but the opportunities will be there.

Kennard is a late addition to the injury report, and if he’s unavailable to take the court, Keaton Wallace could be in line for more minutes. Nickeil Alexander-Walker could get a slight bump, but he’s already locked into starter’s minutes with Trae Young sidelined.
