Luka Dončić can't be stopped, the Wolves can't find their footing, and the Warriors are still scary. Here's who's rising and who's falling.

Prolific outing not enough Young contributed 30 points (8-22 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 11-13 FT), seven rebounds, 14 assists and one steal over 44 minutes during Monday's 143-141 double-overtime loss to the Warriors.

Impact Young finished with at least 30 points and 10 assists for the sixth time this year while also grabbing a season-high seven boards, but his prolific outing wasn't enough as Golden State outlasted Atlanta in a wild double-overtime finish. Over his past eight appearances, the dynamic point guard has averaged 28.5 points, 11.1 assists and 3.5 rebounds in 36.5 minutes.

Plays through back injury Friday Young (back) finished Friday's 130-121 loss to the Lakers with 29 points (11-24 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 7-9 FT), three rebounds, eight assists and one steal in 36 minutes.

Impact Young returned to action Friday after missing the previous game due to a calf injury. However, he then proceeded to exit the game after suffering a back injury in the early going. He was able to return to the court and ended with a strong performance, outside of his poor three-point shooting. Rumors continue to swirl regarding the goings on in Atlanta, with a number of individuals seemingly unhappy. While this is unlikely to impact Young's fantasy value, it is a situation to monitor moving forward.

Probable to return Young is likely to return to Friday's game against the Lakers due to a back contusion after taking a hard fall in the first quarter.

Impact Young was cleared to play after missing a game with a calf contusion but looks to have suffered a minor back injury in the early portions of Friday's game. If he for some reason does not return, Aaron Holiday and Dejounte Murray would be the primary beneficiaries.

Cleared to play Young (calf) is available for Friday's matchup against the Lakers, Kevin Chouinard of the Hawks' official site reports.

Impact As expected, Young is back following a one-game absence. He's struggling from three this season but has improved significantly as of late. Over the past five games, he's averaging 30.0 points on 45/46/91 shooting, 10.2 assists and 3.0 rebounds in 34.6 minutes.

Tabbed a game-time call Young (calf) is a game-time decision for Friday's game against the Lakers, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

Impact Young's status as a game-time call is certainly concerning, considering he was listed as probable initially. Although it is unclear if he suffered a setback at some point Friday, fantasy managers should have a backup plan in case Young sits. If that were to be the case, Aaron Holiday would likely draw another start.

Probable to return Friday Young (calf) is listed as probable to take the floor for Friday's game versus the Lakers.

Impact Young looks set to return from a one-game absence due to a left calf contusion and will presumably retake his spot as the team's starting point guard. The star point guard was averaging 30.0 points and 10.2 assists in the five games before his night off and will aim to pick up where he left off, barring a downgrade in his status over the next 24 hours.

Hopeful to play Wednesday Young (calf) said after Tuesday's game that he hopes he's able to play in Wednesday's matchup with the Pacers, Lauren L. Williams of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Impact Young left Tuesday's game late in the fourth quarter due to a left calf contusion, finishing with 22 points (5-15 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 9-10 FT), three rebounds, 10 assists and one block in 34 minutes. However, his optimism is a good sign that he has avoided a serious injury. If Young doesn't play in Wednesday's back-to-back, his next chance to suit up is Friday's contest versus the Lakers.
