Iffy for Wednesday Hunter (knee) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Knicks, Lauren L. Williams of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Impact Hunter has missed six straight games due to the knee issue, but he'd been previously listed as out 24 hours in advance, so his questionable tag is somewhat encouraging. However, even if cleared to play Wednesday, Hunter will likely face restrictions after a multi-week absence.

Expected to play Wednesday Young (ribs) is probable for Wednesday's game against the Knicks, Lauren L. Williams of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Impact Young suffered a right rib sprain during Monday's loss to the Celtics and didn't return, but it looks like he's avoided a long-term issue. The probable tag also suggests Young shouldn't have any major limitations if he's indeed given the green light to suit up Wednesday.

Good defense in garbage time Wallace provided six points (2-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, two assists, two blocks and four steals in 21 minutes during Monday's 123-93 loss to the Celtics.

Impact Wallace saw the bulk of his production come in fourth-quarter garbage time during the blowout loss. Undrafted in 2021, the rookie out of UTSA is on a two-way deal with the Hawks and is getting some extra burn as the team deals with injuries. Despite the situation in which he racked up Monday's numbers, his active defense was encouraging and may be worth noting as Trae Young (ribs) left the game. If Young misses any time, Wallace could be in line for even more action.

Stuffs stat sheet once again Johnson ended Monday's 123-93 loss to the Celtics with 20 points (7-20 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 4-5 FT), 11 rebounds, four assists and one steal over 31 minutes.

Impact Johnson didn't have his best performance from an efficiency perspective, but that won't matter much if he continues to deliver the same numbers he's been posting over the first two weeks of the regular season. Johnson could be in line for a sizable uptick in usage in case Trae Young (ribs) is forced to miss time, but even if that's not the case, his role as a primary offensive weapon in Atlanta is set in stone. Through eight contests, Johnson is averaging 18.4 points, 10.0 rebounds, 5.1 assists and 1.8 steals per game.

Struggles massively Monday Capela produced two points (1-3 FG), five rebounds and one assist over 17 minutes during Monday's 123-93 loss to Boston.

Impact Capela had another woeful showing, and it's fair to wonder for how long he'll remain in the starting unit, as Onyeka Okongwu has outplayed him almost in every game this season. Capela has had a few decent performances this season, but he only has one double-double through eight appearances while averaging a modest 8.9 points and 6.5 rebounds across 22.5 minutes per game in a starting role.

NOVEMBER 5 • ROTOWIRE

Efficient despite loss Monday Okongwu produced 18 points (8-12 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 10 rebounds and two steals in 23 minutes during Monday's 123-93 loss to Boston.

Impact Okongwu continues to find ways to outplay Clint Capela on a steady basis, and at this point, it wouldn't be surprising if he claims the starting role at center sooner rather than later. Okongwu is averaging 13.3 points, 6.0 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 0.7 blocks across 23.8 minutes per contest in his six outings to date, so fantasy managers should continue to trust him even if he continues to play off the bench for the time being.

Won't come back Monday Young won't return to Monday's game against the Celtics due to a right rib sprain. He contributed two points (1-10 FG, 0-6 3Pt), six assists and one steal across 23 minutes.

Impact Young struggled to find his stride before leaving the game with a rib injury in the third quarter. It is unclear whether the All-Star will miss additional time, though Atlanta is getting blown out and there was seemingly no point in leaving Young in.

Ruled out for Monday Lundy (ankle) is listed as out for Monday's game against the Celtics.

Impact The two-way player has been assigned to the G League's College Park Skyhawks in recent days, but it's unclear if he's actually taken part in any practices with the Hawks' affiliate while he manages a left ankle sprain that has been nagging him since the preseason. Once healthy, Lundy will provide a banged-up Hawks roster with some depth off the bench, but he may not be in store for a regular spot in head coach Quin Snyder's rotation.

Out again Monday Zeller (personal) will not play Monday against the Celtics.

Impact Zeller has yet to appear this season and remains without a timetable for a return.

NOVEMBER 4 • ROTOWIRE

Available to play Okongwu (toe) is available for Monday's game against the Celtics.

Impact This is an expected move after Okongwu was held out of the front leg of the back-to-back set Sunday. In five regular-season appearances, Okongwu has averaged 12.4 points, 5.2 rebounds and 1.6 assists in 24.4 minutes per contest.

NOVEMBER 4 • ROTOWIRE

Out again Monday Hunter (knee) won't play against the Celtics on Monday.

Impact Hunter will be sidelined for a sixth straight game Monday, and his timetable remains unclear. Look for rookie Zaccharie Risacher to start in Hunter's absence once again.

Plays well off bench Nance supplied 14 points (6-8 FG, 2-3 3Pt), six rebounds and one steal across 25 minutes during Sunday's 126-111 victory over the Pelicans.

Impact Despite moving back to the bench, Nance supplied a versatile fantasy line in limited action. However, with Onyeka Okongwu (toe/rest) expected back Monday, Nance isn't guaranteed to see much action against the Celtics.

NOVEMBER 4 • ROTOWIRE

Makes team debut Barlow (back) played the final 2:23 of Sunday's 126-111 win over the Pelicans and recorded no statistics during his time on the court.

Impact Barlow wasn't available for the Hawks' first six games of the regular season while he recovered from a low back contusion that dated back to the preseason. After getting in some practice time in the G League last week, Barlow was cleared to play Sunday, but he was outside of head coach Quin Snyder's rotation and didn't see the floor until garbage time. As one of the Hawks' three two-way players, Barlow is likely to see most of his minutes this season in the G League with the College Park Skyhawks.

NOVEMBER 4 • ROTOWIRE

Returns from G League The Hawks recalled Gueye from the G League's College Park Skyhawks on Monday.

Impact Gueye will be available to serve as frontcourt depth for the Hawks in Monday's game against the Celtics. The second-year big man has appeared in just one of the Hawks' first seven games of the season, logging three total minutes.
