Impact Gallinari was a game-time decision for Friday's matchup but will be held out due to right Achilles soreness. De'Andre Hunter, Kevin Knox and Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot should see increased work in his absence.

Danilo Gallinari - Won't play Friday Gallinari (Achilles) is out Friday against the Heat, Brad Rowland of PeachtreeHoops.com reports.
Gorgui Dieng - Available vs. Heat Dieng (illness) will be available for Friday's matchup against the Heat, Kevin Chouinard of the Hawks' official site reports.
Impact With Clint Capela back from a six-game absence, Dieng's role will presumably be reduced heavily, though with Capela on a minutes limit Friday, Dieng could still see some run. He'll be competing with Onyeka Okongwu for backup minutes.
JANUARY 21, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Clint Capela - Available on minutes limit Capela (ankle) is available on a minutes limit for Friday's matchup against the Heat, Sarah K. Spencer of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
Impact The Hawks will ease the center back into a normal workload following a six-game absence. As a result, Onyeka Okongwu should still be viable in fantasy Friday, but his role will presumably take a hit moving forward.
JANUARY 21, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Clint Capela - Goes through shootaround Capela (ankle) went through Friday's morning shootaround and will be a game-time decision against the Heat, Kelly Crull of Bally Sports South reports.
Impact Capela has missed six straight games due to a sprained left ankle and is officially listed as questionable for Friday's contest. If the 27-year-old can suit up, it wouldn't be surprising to see him on a minutes restriction during his first game back in action.

Danilo Gallinari - Will be game-time decision Gallinari (Achilles) will be a game-time decision against the Heat after not participating in Friday's morning shootaround, Sarah K. Spencer of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution rep...
Impact Gallinari is officially listed as questionable. However, he drew the same designation ahead of the Hawks' Jan. 15 matchup with the Knicks and was still able to score 17 points across 27 minutes, so barring a setback, he'll likely be able to play through the right Achilles soreness again. Nonetheless, if he is a late scratch, more minutes should be available for Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot.

NBA odds: Championship futures for every team after Kevin Durant's injury
With Kevin Durant suffering an injury, the race for the NBA title is wide open. Let's take a look at the futures odds for every team.JANUARY 21, 2022
Danilo Gallinari - Questionable vs. Heat Gallinari is questionable for Friday's matchup against the Heat due to right Achilles soreness.
Impact Gallinari is in danger of missing Friday's game after a streak of nine straight appearances. He's scored in double figures in each of the past four games. If he sits out, more minutes should be available for Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot.
JANUARY 20, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Gorgui Dieng - Questionable against Miami Dieng is questionable for Friday's game against Miami due to a non-COVID illness, Brad Rowland of PeachtreeHoops.com reports.
Impact Dieng has played a minimal role across the last two games, as he's totaled an assist and a block in four minutes during that time. If his illness prevents him from suiting up Friday, his absence shouldn't significantly impact Atlanta's rotation.
JANUARY 20, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Bogdan Bogdanovic - Out Friday Bogdanovic (knee) is out Friday against the Heat.
Impact Bogdanovic didn't practice Thursday, so his absence isn't too surprising. His next chance to play arrives Sunday against the Hornets.
JANUARY 20, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Clint Capela - Questionable Friday Capela (ankle) is questionable for Friday's game against Miami, Brad Rowland of PeachtreeHoops.com reports.
Impact Capela has been unavailable for the last six games due to a sprained left ankle, but he'll have a chance to return to the court Friday. If the 27-year-old is able to suit up, it wouldn't be surprising to see him on a minutes restriction during his first game back in action.
JANUARY 20, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Sharife Cooper - Goes to G League The Hawks transferred Cooper to the G League's College Park Skyhawks on Thursday.
Impact Since he was cleared to play Jan. 12 after suffering a minor ankle sprain, Cooper has made just one two-minute appearance off the Atlanta bench. The rookie point guard should get the chance to play extended minutes for College Park in its game Friday against the G League Ignite.
JANUARY 20, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Jalen Johnson - Heads to G League The Hawks assigned Johnson to the G League's College Park Skyhawks on Thursday.
Impact Johnson appears to be healthy after recently missing time with a left ankle sprain, but he has yet to leave the Atlanta bench in the NBA team's two games since he was removed from the injury report. The rookie first-round pick should get the chance to play extended minutes for College Park on Friday when the Skyhawks host the G League Ignite.

Bogdan Bogdanovic - Doesn't practice Thursday Bogdanovic (knee) didn't participate in Thursday's practice session, Sarah K. Spencer of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
Impact Bogdanovic has missed the last three games due to a sore right knee, but the team has been hopeful that the 29-year-old will return this weekend. His absence from Thursday's practice isn't encouraging, but his status for Friday's game against Miami hasn't yet been revealed.

Miami plays Atlanta, aims for 4th straight road win
Miami heads into a matchup with Atlanta as winners of three straight road gamesJANUARY 20, 2022 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Danilo Gallinari - Drops 15 off bench Gallinari scored 15 points (5-10 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT) while adding six rebounds and an assist in 25 minutes off the bench during Wednesday's 134-122 win over the Timberwolves.
Impact The veteran forward was the only member of the Hawks' second unit to score in double digits, but he was also the only one to play more than 19 minutes. Gallinari has turned back the clock a bit lately, averaging 16.5 points, 4.5 boards, 2.8 threes and 1.8 assists over the last four games, and with Atlanta potentially looking to shake up the roster at the trade deadline, his hot streak could make him a more interesting target for a contending club.
JANUARY 20, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Onyeka Okongwu - Five rejections Wednesday Okongwu scored 17 points (5-8 FG, 7-9 FT) while adding eight rebounds, five blocks, an assist and a steal in 34 minutes during Wednesday's 134-122 win over the Timberwolves.
Impact Getting another start with Clint Capela (ankle) sidelined, Okongwu scored at least 12 points for the third straight game and posted multiple rejections for the fourth straight. The sixth overall selection in the 2020 draft is beginning to look more like a lottery pick after a fairly quiet rookie campaign, but his short-term fantasy value remains tied to Capela's health.
JANUARY 20, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
De'Andre Hunter - Scores 22 against Minnesota Hunter scored 22 points (9-16 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 1-2 FT) while adding five rebounds, an assist and a steal in 34 minutes during Wednesday's 134-122 win over the Timberwolves.
Impact The third-year forward continues to produce, dropping at least 20 points for the third time in four games since rejoining the starting lineup. Hunter missed nearly two months due to a wrist injury, but if he can regain last year's form or even take another step forward, it could help the Hawks shake themselves out of their funk.
JANUARY 20, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
John Collins - Double-double in Wednesday's win Collins scored 17 points (7-16 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 3-4 Ft) while adding 12 rebounds, three assists, two steals and two blocks in 33 minutes during Wednesday's 134-122 win over the Timberw...
Impact The 24-year-old came through with his second straight double-double and third in the last five games, as the Hawks put together another come-from-behind victory. Collins is posting numbers very similar to last season as trade rumors once again swirl around him, but it's just as likely Atlanta opens up more usage for him by dealing other players.
JANUARY 20, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Trae Young - Takes down T-wolves with 37 Young scored 37 points (10-17 FG, 6-10 3Pt, 11-11 FT) while adding 14 assists, five rebounds and a steal in 36 minutes during Wednesday's 134-122 win over the Timberwolves.
Impact Young led all scorers on the night as he once again guided the Hawks to a comeback victory, although this one was aided by the fact Minnesota lost two starters over the course of the game. The 23-year-old dropped 23 of his points in the third quarter, and Young has delivered at least 24 points in six of his eight games in January, averaging 29.4 points, 9.9 assists, 4.3 boards, 3.1 threes and 1.0 steals over that stretch.
