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 (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.

Trae Young (Achilles) is cleared to play in Friday's meeting with the 76ers. The former Oklahoma Sooner had a 24-point, 12-rebound double-double in Thursday's win over the Brooklyn Nets. As usual, he was listed on the injury report because of Achilles Tendinitis. But the Hawks need to secure the No. 8 seed in the Eastern Conference, so he will be out there. Young has faced the Sixers just once this season, amassing 28 points and eight assists, giving him plenty of appeal for DFS managers.

Trae Young (Achilles) is back on the injury report for his Achilles tendinitis, but he's considered probable to play on Friday against the Philadelphia 76ers. The Hawks are locked into a play-in spot, but still could fall out of the eighth seed as they sit just one game ahead of the Chicago Bulls. Luckily, having Young against the battered and bruised Sixers should mean at least one win in these last two games. This should also make him a popular DFS option, but if he doesn't suit up for some reason,
Terance Mann would likely move into the starting lineup while
Caris LeVert would also get a bump in minutes.
