Bucks, Heat, Celtics, 76ers: Will a beast emerge in NBA's East?

With several good teams yet no favorites, the NBA's Eastern Conference race will come down to the end, Martin Rogers writes.

Jalen Johnson - Not listed on injury report Johnson (concussion) is not listed on the injury report ahead of Tuesday's game against the Raptors, Brad Rowland of PeachtreeHoops.com reports.

Impact Johnson missed three straight games due a concussion, but it appears he'll be available Tuesday. The rookie could garner an increased role if Bogdan Bogdanovic (knee) and/or Danilo Gallinari (knee) is ruled out.

Bogdan Bogdanovic - Questionable again Bogdanovic (knee) is questionable for Tuesday's game in Toronto, Brad Rowland of PeachtreeHoops.com reports.

Impact Bogdanovic continues to deal with a knee issue, but he's suited up in each of the last four games. However, the sharpshooter struggled in his last outing and scored just eight points -- his fewest since Jan. 14. If he's sidelined, Delon Wright and Lou Williams would likely garner increased roles off the bench.

Danilo Gallinari - Dealing with knee inflammation Gallinari is questionable for Tuesday's game in Toronto due to left knee inflammation, Brad Rowland of PeachtreeHoops.com reports.

Impact Gallinari has operated off the bench in back-to-back contests following a two-game absence due to an elbow injury, but he's now dealing with a knee issue. If the veteran forward is sidelined, Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot and Kevin Knox would be candidates for increased roles with John Collins (foot) still out.

Lou Williams - Continues making history Williams closed with eight points (1-5 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 5-6 FT) and two rebounds in 13 minutes off the bench during Saturday's 122-115 victory over the Nets.

Impact This was the 1,000th career game off the bench for Williams, as he becomes the first player in NBA history to reach that figure -- the previous record was 984 games, held by Dell Curry. The 35-year-old guard is likely reaching the end of the road, however, as his 6.4 points per game is his worst mark since his second season in the league, way back in 2006-07 with the 76ers.

Danilo Gallinari - Pops for 15 off bench Gallinari ended with 15 points (5-9 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 3-4 FT), five rebounds, one assist and one steal across 25 minutes off the bench during Saturday's 122-115 win over the Nets.

Impact The veteran forward led the Hawks' second unit in scoring, providing some balance to the offense that the Nets sorely lacked as only Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving scored in double digits for Brooklyn. Gallinari has missed four games since the beginning of March with various bumps and bruises, but he's been productive when on the court, averaging 13.3 points, 5.1 boards, 2.2 assists and 1.6 threes in 14 games over that stretch.

De'Andre Hunter - Double-double against Nets Hunter supplied 15 points (4-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 6-8 FT), 10 rebounds and two assists in 27 minutes during Saturday's 122-115 win over the Nets.

Impact The double-double was his second of the season, with the first coming back on Jan. 21 against the Heat. Hunter remains a steady producer for the Hawks, and since the beginning of March the third-year forward is averaging 14.6 points, 3.3 boards, 1.4 assists, 1.4 threes and 0.9 steals over his last 17 games.

APRIL 3, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Trae Young - Locks up win with 36 Young provided 36 points (10-24 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 12-14 FT), six rebounds and 10 assists over 35 minutes during Saturday's 122-115 victory over Brooklyn.

Impact Nine of those points came in the final minute of the game, as Young and the Hawks withstood a career-best 55 points from Kevin Durant to win their fifth straight game and move into eighth place in the Eastern Conference. Young has been instrumental in that surge, recording three double-doubles and scoring 30 or more points four times while averaging 30.8 points, 11.6 assists, 3.6 threes, 3.4 boards and 1.2 steals.
