ATLANTA HAWKS NEWS

Re-evaluated in 7-10 days Okongwu (toe) has shed his walking boot and will be re-evaluated in 7-10 days, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

Impact While it's a good sign that Okongwu is finally out of his walking boot, he still doesn't appear to be particularly close, so he's a cut candidate for managers currently going through the fantasy playoffs. Bruno Fernando will continue to pick up the slack behind Clint Capela in Okongwu's absence.

Puts up 17 points off bench Hunter logged 17 points (6-12 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 3-4 FT), three rebounds, two assists and one steal in 26 minutes during Wednesday's 112-101 win over the Cavaliers.

Impact Hunter might have lost his starting role to Saddiq Bey, but he remains a reliable fantasy asset in his new role with the second unit, where he's taken on a more significant role as a scoring weapon off the bench. The numbers back that up, as Hunter has now scored in double digits in his last 12 appearances. Over that span, he's averaging 18.2 points per game while shooting 53.8 percent from the field and an impressive 48.2 percent from three-point range.

Goes for 23 points in win Bogdanovic closed with 23 points (8-15 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 4-4 FT), two rebounds, six assists and one steal across 34 minutes during Wednesday's 112-101 victory over Cleveland.

Impact Bogdanovic left a good impression on offense and carried the team from a scoring perspective en route to a tight win over the Cavaliers. The veteran sharpshooter has started in each of Atlanta's last six games due to the absence of Trae Young (finger) but has been thriving, putting up 14.7 points per game. He is, however, shooting just 39.7 percent from the field and 35 percent from deep in that span, so there's still room for improvement. His scoring figures are enough to make him valuable in most formats.

Hands out nine assists in win Murray racked up 18 points (7-21 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 3-4 FT), two rebounds, nine assists and two steals across 39 minutes during Wednesday's 112-101 victory over the Cavaliers.

Impact Murray struggled from deep and nailed just one of his seven three-point attempts, but he salvaged his fantasy stat line by delivering a strong line in other categories, mainly the nine assists and two steals. Murray has taken over the playmaking duties in Atlanta with Trae Young (finger) out, and the numbers back that up. He's averaging 8.6 assists, as well as 21.9 points, 6.6 rebounds and 1.3 steals per game, since the end of the All-Star break.
