ATLANTA HAWKS NEWS

De'Andre Hunter - Puts up 17 points off bench Hunter logged 17 points (6-12 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 3-4 FT), three rebounds, two assists and one steal in 26 minutes during Wednesday's 112-101 win over the Cavaliers.

Impact Hunter might have lost his starting role to Saddiq Bey, but he remains a reliable fantasy asset in his new role with the second unit, where he's taken on a more significant role as a scoring weapon off the bench. The numbers back that up, as Hunter has now scored in double digits in his last 12 appearances. Over that span, he's averaging 18.2 points per game while shooting 53.8 percent from the field and an impressive 48.2 percent from three-point range.

Bogdan Bogdanovic - Goes for 23 points in win Bogdanovic closed with 23 points (8-15 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 4-4 FT), two rebounds, six assists and one steal across 34 minutes during Wednesday's 112-101 victory over Cleveland.

Impact Bogdanovic left a good impression on offense and carried the team from a scoring perspective en route to a tight win over the Cavaliers. The veteran sharpshooter has started in each of Atlanta's last six games due to the absence of Trae Young (finger) but has been thriving, putting up 14.7 points per game. He is, however, shooting just 39.7 percent from the field and 35 percent from deep in that span, so there's still room for improvement. His scoring figures are enough to make him valuable in most formats.

Dejounte Murray - Hands out nine assists in win Murray racked up 18 points (7-21 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 3-4 FT), two rebounds, nine assists and two steals across 39 minutes during Wednesday's 112-101 victory over the Cavaliers.

Impact Murray struggled from deep and nailed just one of his seven three-point attempts, but he salvaged his fantasy stat line by delivering a strong line in other categories, mainly the nine assists and two steals. Murray has taken over the playmaking duties in Atlanta with Trae Young (finger) out, and the numbers back that up. He's averaging 8.6 assists, as well as 21.9 points, 6.6 rebounds and 1.3 steals per game, since the end of the All-Star break.

Kobe Bufkin - Out again Wednesday Bufkin (toe) will not play in Wednesday's game against the Cavaliers.

Impact Bufkin will miss his second straight game, but he's considered day-to-day. Trent Forrest will likely pick up the backup point guard minutes again Wednesday after seeing 11 minutes against the Knicks on Tuesday.

De'Andre Hunter - Probable for Wednesday Hunter is probable for Wednesday's game against the Cavaliers due to right knee injury management.

Impact Wednesday's game is the second leg of a back-to-back set, and Hunter played 25 minutes Tuesday night. Given the probable tag, the Hawks likely want to see how Hunter's knee responds in warmups before giving him the green light.

Jalen Johnson - Sniffs triple-double in win Johnson posted 26 points (12-17 FG, 2-3 3Pt), nine rebounds, seven assists and one steal across 38 minutes during Tuesday's 116-100 win over the Knicks.

Impact Johnson has been one of the most productive players for the Hawks this season, and his numbers have experienced a remarkable uptick over the last few months, particularly when he took over the starting power forward role over Saddiq Bey. Johnson is averaging 16.5 points, 9.8 rebounds, 4.1 assists and 1.1 blocks per game since the beginning of February.

Clint Capela - Solid performance in win over NY Capela notched 13 points (5-11 FG, 3-4 FT), nine rebounds, three assists and one block in 25 minutes during Tuesday's 116-100 win over the Knicks.

Impact Capela might not be the automatic double-double machine he was during his prime years, but he remains a player capable of making things happen on both ends of the court. The veteran big man is averaging just 8.2 points, 8.7 rebounds and 1.5 blocks per game since the end of the All-Star break, and while those numbers are borderline when it comes to a starting gig in fantasy, he will continue to hold value as long as he remains a starter for the Hawks.

MARCH 6 • ROTOWIRE

Dejounte Murray - Solid all-around showing in win Murray ended Tuesday's 116-100 victory over New York with 21 points (7-17 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 3-4 FT), nine rebounds, six assists and one steal in 37 minutes.

Impact Murray has embraced a more significant role in the playmaking department due to the absence of Trae Young (finger), but he's been thriving in the same point guard role he had during his Spurs days. Murray is known for his ability to impact the game on both ends of the court, and such has been the case in recent weeks as well, as he's handling the uptick in usage rate quite well. Murray is averaging 22.5 points, 7.3 rebounds, 8.5 assists, 1.2 steals and 0.5 blocks per game since the end of the All-Star break.
