Skylar Mays - Gets garbage-time run Mays (illness) played five minutes off the bench in Thursday's 131-107 win over the Cavaliers, finishing with zero points (0-2 FG) and one assist.

Impact Mays was back in action for Atlanta after he was ruled out of the team's previous four games with a non-COVID-19-related illness.

Onyeka Okongwu - Double-double off bench Okongwu recorded 17 points (6-6 FG, 5-6 FT), 12 rebounds, one assist and one block in 25 minutes off the bench during Thursday's 131-107 win over the Cavaliers.

Impact It's the first double-double of the season for the second-year center, although Okongwu has pulled down double-digit boards in two straight games. He continues to see consistent minutes behind Clint Capela in the Hawks' frontcourt, and while he hasn't yet added much consistency to his game, Okongwu's upside remains intriguing.

Kevin Huerter - Strikes for 23 in win Huerter ended Thursday's 131-107 win over Cleveland with 23 points (7-12 FG, 5-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT), two rebounds, two assists and two steals across 30 minutes.

Impact That's now four straight games with at least 20 points for Huerter, who has stepped up down the stretch for the Hawks and helped them secure a spot in the play-in tournament. The fourth-year guard hadn't hit for 20 since late January prior to this surge, but if Atlanta is going to advance to the playoffs, Huerter may need to stay locked in from beyond the arc -- he's drained multiple threes in six straight, making a blistering 55.8 percent (24-for-43) of his long-range attempts.

Clint Capela - Double-double against Cavs Capela registered 12 points (5-9 FG, 2-5 FT), 14 rebounds, two assists, three blocks and two steals across 23 minutes during Thursday's 131-107 win over the Cavaliers.

Impact He took advantage of the absence of Evan Mobley (ankle), grabbing his third double-double in the last four games while recording multiple blocks and steals in a game for the first time since early December. Capela can be inconsistent from night to night, but over 17 games in March he averaged 11.2 points, 11.1 boards and 1.0 blocks.

Trae Young - Racks up 30 in win Young finished with 30 points (9-17 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 8-8 FT), two rebounds and nine assists across 28 minutes during Thursday's 131-107 victory over Cleveland.

Impact The fourth-year guard produced big numbers once again as Young helped the Hawks secure a spot in the play-in tournament. He's scored at least 30 points in six of his last 10 games, averaging 30.7 points, 10.7 assists, 3.9 threes, 3.1 boards and 1.5 steals over that stretch.
