ATLANTA HAWKS NEWS

Trae Young - Another double-double Young recorded 22 points (9-20 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), six rebounds and 13 assists in 35 minutes during Friday's 125-114 loss to the Raptors.

Impact Young might have needed 20 shots to record his fourth straight game with 20-plus points, but that didn't matter much considering the numbers he delivered in other categories as well. The star point guard now has three double-doubles over his last five games and is averaging 28.8 points, 9.0 assists and 4.3 rebounds per contest since the beginning of January.

John Collins - Questionable versus Raptors Collins (shoulder) is questionable for Friday's game against the Raptors, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports.

Impact Collins is dealing with soreness in his right shoulder stemming from Thursday's matchup with the Suns, leaving his availability for the second half of the back-to-back set in question. The 24-year-old indicated after the contest he plans to play Friday, but it remains to be seen if he's actually cleared to take the court.

Danilo Gallinari - Ruled out Friday Gallinari has been ruled out for Friday's contest against Toronto due to right hamstring tightness, Brad Rowland of PeachtreeHoops.com reports.

Impact Gallinari played 23 minutes during Thursday's win over Phoenix, but he apparently picked up a hamstring injury that will sideline him for the second half of the Hawks' back-to-back. In his absence, Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot is expected to see an increased role against the Raptors.

Young leads Atlanta against Toronto after 43-point showing

Atlanta visits the Toronto Raptors after Trae Young scored 43 points in the Hawks' 124-115 win against the Phoenix Suns

Trae Young's stardom makes the Hawks dangerous, but the climb up in the East is still daunting Young picked up a loose ball and drilled a 3 from the top of the key to give Atlanta a 9-point lead, helping the Hawks beat the Suns 124-115

De'Andre Hunter - Modest performance Thursday Hunter notched 13 points (4-7 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 4-7 FT), two rebounds and one assist across 21 minutes during Thursday's 124-115 victory over the Suns.

Impact Hunter was able to play through his ankle injury, finishing with yet another underwhelming line. It appears the medical staff is going to continue to monitor his minutes, especially given his recent injury struggles. The starting role is his to lose, and while he can be a viable 12-team asset, his upside is probably not to the point where he is a must-roster player.

Clint Capela - Grabs 12 boards in victory Capela racked up six points (2-4 FG, 2-2 FT), 12 rebounds, four assists and one block across 25 minutes during Thursday's 124-115 victory over the Suns.

Impact Capela continued to be passive on the offensive end of the floor but did salvage his evening with 12 boards. His playing time also continues to hover around the mid-20s, a number that fantasy managers would love to see increase. Surprisingly, both teams opted to play a decent amount of small-ball in this one, despite the fact they are laden with traditional bigs. John Collins suffered a shoulder injury late in the fourth quarter, and if he does miss any time, there could be a few more minutes available for both Capela and Onyeka Okongwu.

Trae Young - On fire as Hawks down Suns Young had 43 points (16-25 FG, 6-11 3Pt, 5-7 FT), five assists and one steal in 36 minutes during Thursday's 124-115 win over the Suns.

Impact Young was on another planet in the victory despite coming into the game under an injury cloud. Obviously, his shoulder was not an issue, and managers will have to hope that he can continue on, without further worries. The scoring was fantastic here, but the lack of peripherals was somewhat disappointing. He is currently putting together the best individual season of his career, and with the Hawks beginning to look like a real threat in the East once again, he should be very busy the rest of the way.

Impact The extent of the injury is not yet clear, though it was severe enough to force him from the contest in the second half. He'll likely be re-evaluated Friday morning to determine his availability for Friday's matchup with Toronto, though after the game, Collins indicated that he plans to play, per Kirschner.
