Trae Young Stays Red-Hot In Win Over Nuggets
Trae Young had a monster stat line in Sunday's win over Denver. Young dropped 35 points with 15 assists, six rebounds, four triples, and a steal in 36 minutes. He was too much for the Nuggets to handle in this one- and they couldn't even stop him by fouling, as he knocked down 11 of his 13 attempts from the line. There have been four 35-point, 15-assist games in Hawks franchise history since 1980- and Young has them all. Over his last three contests, he's averaging 35.3 points, 11.3 assists, 4.3 rebounds, 3.6 treys, and 2.0 steals per game on 61.8/47.8/90 shooting splits. Young plays on Tuesday against the Cavs, who held him to just 16 points in January, though they'll be hard-pressed to do that again.

Trae Young Probable For Friday
Trae Young (Achilles) is listed as probable for Friday's play-in game against the Miami Heat. He will likely be upgraded to available ahead of tip-off once again, as has happened throughout the campaign. Young is coming off a 28-point effort in Tuesday's loss to the Orlando Magic, during which he was ejected for receiving two technical fouls. He needs to maintain his composure better on Friday night and score more efficiently. On Tuesday, Young was the top scorer in the game but shot only 8-for-21 from the field and 1-for-5 from deep.

Trae Young Cleared To Face Orlando
Trae Young (Achilles) is available for Tuesday's Play-In showdown with the Orlando Magic. The former Oklahoma Sooner was listed as probable due to the Achilles Tendinitis that plagued him for most of the 2024-25 campaign. However, he'll be out there for the Southeast Division matchup. Young has faced Orlando three times this season, averaging 28.3 points, 8.0 assists, and 26.7% shooting from deep.

Trae Young Probable For Tuesday's Play-In Game
Trae Young (Achilles) is likely to play in Tuesday's play-in contest against the Orlando Magic, as he is listed as probable on the injury report. Young's name has been on the injury report for the entire campaign, but he ended up missing only six regular-season games. His last absence came on Sunday against the Magic for rest purposes. In previous years, Young has played in four play-in games, averaging 27.3 points and 9.3 assists. However, shooting has always been an issue for him in these high-pressure situations, as the Hawks leader has converted only 26.5 percent of his shots from three-point range.

Trae Young Won't Suit Up Versus Orlando
Trae Young (Achilles) won't suit up for Sunday's clash with the Orlando Magic. The Hawks are Play-In bound, so there's no reason Young needs to be on the floor for the season finale. Most of the other members of the starting lineup also won't suit up. But as far as the one spot is concerned, Keaton Wallace, averaging 13.5 points, 6.8 assists, and 1.5 steals in four starts, is worth considering for DFS purposes.
