Solid display in return to action Daniels ended with 16 points (7-10 FG, 2-5 3Pt), five rebounds, three assists and one steal across 25 minutes during Sunday's 126-111 win over the Pelicans.

Impact Daniels returned after a brief two-game absence due to a right hip flexor strain, and the 21-year-old continues to enjoy a solid start to the campaign, as he's firmly entrenched as the Hawks' starting shooting guard with Bogdan Bogdanovic (hamstring) sidelined for the time being. Daniels has scored in double digits in four of his five appearances, putting up a solid line of 13.4 points, 4.4 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 2.4 steals per game. His ability to make an impact on both ends of the court has given the Hawks quite a boost in their backcourt.

Records another double-double Young finished Sunday's 126-111 victory over the Pelicans with 23 points (8-15 FG, 5-10 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, 12 assists and one steal over 31 minutes.

Impact Jalen Johnson led the Hawks in scoring with his 29-point effort, but the impact Young is having on the Hawks offensively can't be overlooked. He's scored at least 23 points in all but one of his outings, and he's also dished out 10 or more assists in six of his seven appearances. Even though it's early in the season, it would be shocking if he doesn't average a double-double for the third consecutive campaign. Through the first two weeks of the 2024-25 regular season, Young is averaging a robust 27.0 points and 11.7 assists per tilt.

Comes close to triple-double Johnson contributed 29 points (12-20 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 5-6 FT), nine rebounds, eight assists, two blocks and two steals over 38 minutes during Sunday's 126-111 win over the Pelicans.

Impact Johnson has taken things off to a new level this season and is showing improvement on both ends of the court after his career-best season in 2023-24. The star forward has entrenched himself as one of the Hawks' primary scoring threats, even ahead of Trae Young at times, and the numbers back him up. Johnson has scored over 20 points in three of his last four games and is averaging 23.3 points, 10.8 rebounds and 7.0 assists per game in that four-game stretch.

Stuffs stat sheet in victory Johnson amassed 29 points (12-20 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 5-6 FT), nine rebounds, eight assists, two blocks and two steals across 38 minutes during Sunday's 126-111 victory over the Pelicans.

Impact The 22-year-old led the Hawks in points, rebounds and blocks while dishing out the second-highest mark in assists behind Trae Young (12). Johnson has been able to stuff the stat sheet on a nightly basis, and his two-way abilities have made him a valuable option in fantasy formats. The fourth-year pro is averaging 18.1 points, 9.9 rebounds, 5.3 assists and 2.9 steals-plus-blocks across 37.1 minutes per game through seven regular-season outings.

Back to bench Nance won't start Sunday's game against the Pelicans, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

Impact With Dyson Daniels back in action, Nance will shift to his usual reserve role. In two appearances off the bench this season, Nance has averaged 8.5 points, 2.0 assists, 1.5 rebounds and 1.0 steals in 15.0 minutes, but the majority of that production came in one game.

Available Sunday Daniels (hip) is available for Sunday's game against the Pelicans, Lauren L. Williams of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Impact Daniels missed two consecutive games due to a right hip flexor strain, though he is expected to play through the injury on the first day of a back-to-back set Sunday. The 21-year-old has seen an uptick in playing time in his first season with Atlanta, during which he has averaged 12.8 points, 4.3 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 2.8 steals and 1.0 blocks across 32.5 minutes per game in four regular-season appearances thus far.

Won't play Sunday Okongwu (toe/rest) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Pelicans, Lauren L. Williams of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Impact Okongwu will take a seat for the first half of a back-to-back set due to left big toe injury management, but he should be available for Monday's matchup against Boston. In his absence, Larry Nance should see increased minutes behind Clint Capela.

NOVEMBER 3 • ROTOWIRE

Late addition to injury report Okongwu is questionable for Sunday's game against the Pelicans due to left big toe injury management, Kevin Chouinard of the Hawks' official site reports.

Impact Sunday's game is the first half of a back-to-back set, so even if Okongwu plays against New Orleans, he may sit out Monday versus Boston. After exploding for 28 points, eight rebounds and three blocks in the regular-season opener, Okongwu has averaged 8.5 points, 4.5 rebounds and 0.3 blocks in his last four appearances. If Okongwu sits out, Larry Nance and Dominick Barlow would be candidates for increased roles behind Clint Capela.

NOVEMBER 3 • ROTOWIRE

Back at full strength Barlow (back) isn't listed on the injury report ahead of Sunday's game against the Pelicans, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

Impact Barlow has been battling a back injury through the first few weeks of the season, but he's with the team in New Orleans and wasn't listed on the injury report, indicating he's returned to health. The 21-year-old has yet to appear this year for Atlanta given his current spot in the team's rotation. However, he could be active for Sunday's clash after getting over the back issue.

Impact Zeller will continue to be away from the team due to personal reasons. It's unclear when he'll return, but his next chance at doing so will be against the Celtics on Monday.

NOVEMBER 2 • ROTOWIRE

Listed questionable for Sunday Daniels (hip) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Pelicans, Lauren L. Williams of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Impact Daniels has missed two straight games due to a right hip strain but has a chance to return Sunday. With so many injuries to Atlanta's backcourt, Daniels has a clear path to heavy minutes when cleared to suit up again, and he was off to a strong start before the injury, especially defensively. Through four appearances, he's averaged 12.8 points, 4.3 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 2.8 steals and 1.0 blocks in 32.3 minutes per game.
