Scores 15 points off bench Williams had 15 points (5-7 FG, 3-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound and five assists over 19 minutes during Wednesday's 121-104 victory over the Kings.
Impact Williams made all three of his three-point attempts en route to a season-high 15 points. Delon Wright has overtaken Williams as the primary backup to Trae Young, which has resulted in very few fantasy relevant performances for Williams. On the season, the veteran point guard is averaging just 7.0 points, 1.8 assists and 1.5 rebounds in 14.5 minutes.

Solid performance off bench Okongwu contributed 18 points (6-9 FG, 6-7 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and one steal in 19 minutes during Wednesday's 121-104 win over the Kings.
Impact With Clint Capela back from an ankle injury, Okongwu has operated off the bench the last two games. However, the latter was able to significantly out produce the former during Wednesday's win. In just 15 appearances this season, the 2020 first-round pick is averaging 9.8 points, 6.3 rebounds, 1.7 blocks and 1.2 assists in 23.7 minutes. The veteran Capela likely has a stronghold on the starting gig, but the youngster has shown enough flashes to continue garnering a sizable role off the bench. However, both player's overall fantasy production will likely be limited if they continue to spilt time.

Impresses in return Bogdanovic (knee) amassed 18 points (6-11 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 3-4 FT), three rebounds, seven assists and one steal over 23 minutes during Wednesday's 121-104 victory over the Kings.
Impact Bogdanovic returned from a five-game absence due to right knee soreness and was expected to be limited Wednesday. He played 23 minutes, which is slightly below his season average (28.5), but he made the most of his time on the court by scoring in double figures and dishing out a season-high seven assists. After his solid performance, fantasy managers can expect him to be back in the starting lineup and playing close to 30 minutes per game as soon as Friday. However, there may still be some limitations on back-to-backs.

Plays just 17 minutes in start Hunter supplied nine points (4-5 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 0-1 FT) and one rebound in 17 minutes during Wednesday's 121-104 victory over the Kings.
Impact Hunter landed on the injury report Tuesday will low back back discomfort and was officially listed as questionable. However, he was deemed healthy enough to play and even drew the start, but the third-year pro played just 17 minutes -- the fewest of any starter. Fantasy managers are encouraged to monitor Hunter's status closely, as the back injury may be a lingering issue that limits his overall production moving forward.

Double-doubles in win Young had 17 points (7-18 FG, 3-8 3Pt), three rebounds, 10 assists and four steals across 25 minutes during Wednesday's 121-104 win over the Kings.
Impact Young's streak of scoring at least 20 points ended at six games, but he made up for his lack of scoring by dishing out double-digit assists, notching his 22nd double-double of the season. The star point guard also showed off his defensive prowess by swiping a season-high four steals. Over his last seven games, Young has averaged 27.9 points, 8.6 assists, 3.6 rebounds and 1.6 steals in 34.4 minutes. He'll look to continue his strong play against the Celtics on Friday.

If he is indeed available, fantasy managers can expect him to play between 20-to-24 minutes.

Dealing with non-COVID illness Luwawu-Cabarrot is questionable for Wednesday's contest against the Kings due to a non-COVID illness, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports.
Impact Luwawu-Cabarrot has made just two appearances over the Hawks' last four games, totaling five minutes. However, De'Andre Hunter (back) is also questionable, so if neither player is able to suit up, Danilo Gallinari and Kevin Huerter are both candidates for increased usage.

Impact Hunter has played well since his return to the starting lineup Jan. 14, turning in averages of 17.2 points, 4.8 rebounds, 1.8 steals and 1.8 combined blocks-plus-steals. Earlier Tuesday, head coach Nate McMillan told Spencer that Hunter was able to go through the Hawks' practice, even though he was still experiencing some soreness. Assuming he doesn't feel too much worse for the wear following Wednesday's morning shootaround, Hunter should be cleared ahead of the game's 7:30 p.m. ET tipoff.
