Bogdan Bogdanovic - Tracking toward weekend return Hawks general manager Travis Schlenk said Tuesday that he's hopeful Bogdanovic (knee) will be able to rejoin the lineup by the weekend, Mike Conti of the Atlanta Hawks Radio Networ...

Impact Schlenk said that Capela and Bogdanovic are both on similar timelines to rejoin the lineup, with the GM's comments implying that both players will remain out for at least Wednesday's game against the Timberwolves. The Hawks will then close out their four-game week with matchups Friday against the Heat and Sunday in Charlotte, so Bogdanovic could have a chance at suiting up for either or both of those contests if he demonstrates enough progress in his recovery from the sore right knee. Kevin Huerter has started on the wing in both of the past two contests while Bogdanovic has been sidelined.

Impact Schlenk reiterated that Capela's sprained left ankle isn't a long-term injury, but based on the GM's comments, the Hawks will likely remain without their starting center for Wednesday's game against the Timberwolves. The Hawks will conclude their four-game week with a pair of matchups Friday (versus Miami) and Sunday (at Charlotte), so it's possible Capela could be available for either or both of those contests. Onyeka Okongwu is expected to pick up another start Wednesday while Capela misses a sixth consecutive contest.

Hawks' Onyeka Okongwu is showing toughness, tenacity to develop into a 2-way star Okongwu's defensive performance on Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo was a big reason the Hawks avoided an 11th consecutive home loss.

JANUARY 18, 2022 • THEATHLETIC.COM

Onyeka Okongwu - Strong all-around effort Monday Okongwu racked up 12 points (6-9 FG), eight rebounds, three assists, three blocks and one steal across 36 minutes during Monday's 121-114 win over the Bucks.

Impact Okongwu and Gorgui Dieng (DNP-CD) have been splitting the void left by Clint Capela (ankle). However, Dieng underwhelmed in two starts, paving the way for Okongwu to exceed 35 minutes for the second time this season. Okongwu has fringe fantasy appeal with this type of role, and it's unclear when exactly Capela is likely to return.

John Collins - Restores typical presence Collins closed with 16 points (5-15 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 12 rebounds, two assists and three blocks in 31 minutes during Monday's 121-114 win over the Bucks.

Impact Collins had accumulated just eight rebounds across 59 minutes over his previous two games, but he returned to his double-double producing ways Monday. Collins is averaging just 11.9 field-goal attempts per game, his lowest mark since his rookie season. However, his efficiency has remained consistent, and he is shooting at an awesome 44.3 percent clip from beyond the arc.

JANUARY 18, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Danilo Gallinari - Continues hot streak Gallinari supplied 16 points (4-5 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 7-8 FT), three rebounds and three assists across 30 minutes during Monday's 121-114 win over Milwaukee.

Impact Gallinari has scored at least 16 points in three consecutive games -- the first such occurrence for the 33-year-old since mid-December. His season averages reside at 10.3 points, 4.2 rebounds and 1.2 assists per game across 22.8 minutes per game.

JANUARY 18, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

De'Andre Hunter - Taps into new volume Hunter supplied 20 points (6-17 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 6-6 FT), nine rebounds, two assists and one block over 35 minutes during Monday's 121-114 win over the Bucks.

Impact Hunter attempted a season-high 17 shots in the win, falling one rebound shy of his first double-double of the campaign. He's appeared in only 15 games this season, but Hunter is shooting an excellent 42.3 percent on 3.7 threes per game. Managers with roster flexibility should consider him for a spot across most formats.

JANUARY 18, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Trae Young - Leads comeback win Young recorded 30 points (7-17 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 14-14 FT), four rebounds, 11 assists and one steal over 40 minutes during Monday's 121-114 victory over the Bucks.

Impact Young fueled a 20-5 run and propelled the Hawks as they outscored the Bucks by 19 in the second half. Young's distribution also resulted in six Hawks reaching double-digit scoring. He cashed in when Milwaukee resorted to fouling, raising his free-throw percentage to a career-high 89.9 percent. He'll look to stay hot against the Timberwolves on Wednesday.
