Dyson Daniels News, Rumors, Updates - Atlanta Hawks

Returns to bench Daniels is coming off the bench Monday against the Kings, James Ham of ESPN 1320 Sacramento reports.

Impact Daniels drew a spot start Saturday with CJ McCollum unable to travel with the team, but he'll head back to the bench Monday. He hasn't been productive in his last two contests off the bench, totaling six points, six rebounds, two assists, two steals and one block through 26 minutes.

Limited in spot start Daniels amassed seven points (3-5 FG, 1-3 3Pt), two rebounds, two assists and one steal in 22 minutes during Saturday's 124-118 loss to the Bulls.

Impact Daniels moved into the starting lineup Saturday, replacing CJ McCollum who is not yet able to travel with the team as a result of his recent chest injury. Despite starting, Daniels was limited to just 22 minutes, producing very little outside two steals. With the Pelicans nearing full health, Daniels is going to find it hard to see enough playing time to be considered a sustainable fantasy asset.

Joins starting five Daniels will move into the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Bulls, Will Guillory of The Athletic reports.

Impact C.J. McCollum is taking the night off for rest for the second leg of the back-to-back set. Daniels has fared well as a starter this season, posting averages of 8.5 points, 5.7 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 1.9 steals.

Returns to bench Daniels isn't in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game versus the 76ers.

Impact After missing the previous 12 games with a collapsed right lung, CJ McCollum will replace Daniels in the starting lineup Wednesday. Daniels is averaging 7.0 points, 4.1 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 1.0 steals in 22.6 minutes across his previous seven appearances coming off the bench this season.

Tallies six steals in loss Daniels totaled six points (3-14 FG, 0-6 3Pt, 0-1 FT), six rebounds, five assists, one block and six steals over 34 minutes during Saturday's 105-100 loss to the Jazz.

Impact Daniels was a beast on the defensive end despite the loss, racking up a career-high six steals to go with one block. Unfortunately, he shot just 3-of-14 from the field, somewhat negating his defensive masterclass. Nonetheless, he remains a must-roster player across most formats, at least until CJ McCollum (chest) returns from his injury.

Continues stint in starting lineup Daniels amassed seven points (3-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt), eight rebounds, five assists, one block and one steal in 36 minutes during Friday's 116-106 victory over the Clippers.

Impact The 2022 first-round pick has failed to meet expectations during his tenure with the Clippers, but that is partly due to a lack of playing time. He has an opportunity to impress during CJ McCollum's (chest) absence, but Daniels hasn't done much with his time in the starting lineup. Through nine starts, the Aussie is averaging 9.0 points, 6.0 rebounds, 4.4 assists and 1.7 steals. The multi-category input is somewhat encouraging, but his fantasy outlook is mediocre at best. Jordan Hawkins has performed far better in McCollum's place and is currently the guard with the highest upside in this scenario.

Logs team-high 37 minutes Daniels produced 13 points (6-12 FG, 1-3 3Pt), six assists, five rebounds and one steal in 37 minutes during Saturday's loss to the Timberwolves.

Impact Daniels continues to start at point guard for the Pelicans, putting together the best stretch of his young career. Over the past two weeks, he has put up averages of 10.9 points, 5.6 rebounds, 4.4 assists, 1.9 steals and 1.1 three-pointers, good enough for top-75 value in standard leagues. As long as he is running with the opening unit, Daniels needs to be rostered in all leagues.

Solid all-around effort Friday Daniels notched 10 points (4-6 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-3 FT), eight rebounds, seven assists and three steals over 33 minutes during Friday's 115-110 win over Denver.

Impact Daniels has done an admirable job of filling for CJ McCollum (chest) and continues to make an impact on both ends of the court. He has scored in double digits in four consecutive appearances and is averaging 10.8 points, 6.4 rebounds, 4.8 assists and 2.2 steals per game since moving to a starting role.

Solid showing in blowout win Daniels ended Tuesday's 131-110 victory over the Mavericks with 10 points (4-10 FG, 2-5 3Pt), two rebounds, six assists and three steals in 29 minutes.

Impact Daniels has drawn four straight starts with CJ McCollum (ribs) sidelined. During that stretch, the second-year wing has averaged 11.0 points, 6.0 rebounds, 4.3 assists and 2.0 steals in 33.0 minutes per game. With McCollum slated to miss extended time, Daniels should have a clear path to consistent playing time moving froward.

Sets career high with 17 points Daniels generated 17 points (7-12 FG, 3-6 3Pt), nine rebounds and four assists across 31 minutes in Sunday's 136-124 loss to the Mavericks.

Impact The second-year player picked up his third straight start while the Pelicans were without CJ McCollum (chest), Herbert Jones (leg) and Trey Murphy (knee) and made the most of the opportunity, setting a new career high in scoring. A 43 percent shooter from the field and 32.2 percent shooter from downtown through his first 69 NBA games, Daniels' scoring performance from Sunday probably won't be easily replicable, but he'll have some value in the short term for fantasy managers in need of aid in the rebounds, assists and steals categories. He's averaging 7.3 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 1.7 steals through his first three starts.

Balanced outing in first start Daniels contributed seven points (3-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt), three rebounds, five assists and four steals in 31 minutes during Wednesday's 122-101 loss to Minnesota.

Impact Daniels earned his first start of the 2023-24 season Wednesday due to New Orleans dealing with the absence of six players, ending with a team-high steals mark and finishing second in assists in a balanced showcase. Daniels has been a nice contributor mainly off the Pelicans bench this season, averaging 7.0 points, 4.0 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 1.4 steals over 23.6 minutes in eight contests.

Contributes to victory Daniels ended Wednesday's 110-106 victory over Oklahoma City with eight points (3-10 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 1-4 FT), four rebounds, one assist, two blocks and one steal over 25 minutes.

Impact Daniels recorded season highs in points, minutes and blocks in Wednesday's win. The second-year guard has seen an uptick in his 17.7 minutes per contest from last year and is now averaging 22.5 minutes across his four appearances in 2023-24. However, Daniels is shooting a poor 35.7 percent from the field and 16.7 percent from three.

Team option exercised The Pelicans exercised the third-year team option on Daniels' contract Thursday.

Impact Daniels had a somewhat limited workload during his rookie season last year, averaging 3.8 points, 3.2 rebounds and 2.3 assists in 17.7 minutes per game. However, he had some encouraging performances during Summer League play this year, and it's possible he carves out a larger role during his second professional season. Following Thursday's move, he'll be under contract with the Pelicans through the 2024-25 season.

Scoreless in limited action Daniels chipped in zero points (0-1 FG), two rebounds and two assists over 11 minutes during Tuesday's 123-108 loss to the Lakers.

Impact Daniels played his fewest minutes since March 1 and was held scoreless for the first time since Feb. 25. Over his last seven appearances, he's averaging just 2.3 points, 2.7 rebounds and 2.6 assists in 16.7 minutes per game, so barring numerous injuries, fantasy managers can safely leave Daniels on the waiver wire moving forward.
