Trae Young Quiet From Field During Win

Atlanta Hawks point guard Trae Young didn’t have the security blanket of Jeremy Lin to back him up Saturday against the Denver Nuggets, and Young struggled from the field regardless. The rookie finished 3-for-12 overall, with just nine points and four assists to his credit. It appears that he has entered another malaise, shooting 32.9 […]

Atlanta Hawks power forward/center John Collins set a new career high in scoring for the third consecutive game during Saturday’s win over the Denver Nuggets. Collins finished with 30 points on 12-for-20 shooting, tying his career high with three made triples. To put a cap on his dominant performance, he added 12 rebounds for his […]

FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (12/8/18): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice

After a crazy Friday night slate, tonight features eight games with a good amount of value and high-end plays... and probably some more craziness. Due to the size of the slate, ownership should remain fairly spread out other than with a few value players. Regardless, there's plenty of ways to attacks tonights slate! In this […]

Omari Spellman To Miss Second Straight Contest

Atlanta Hawks power forward/center Omari Spellman has been ruled out for Saturday’s contest against the Denver Nuggets due to right hip soreness.

Dewayne Dedmon and Alex Len could see an uptick in minutes, with Miles Plumlee […]

Jeremy Lin Has Been Ruled Out on Saturday

Atlanta Hawks guard Jeremy Lin (back) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Denver Nuggets. The Hawks are banged up and will be shorthanded for this contest.

The Rookie Report - An Early Look At This Year's Class (Part 2)

I took a look at last year's rookie class, analyzing their fantasy games and throwing out some comparables based on their stat spread and figured that now is a good time to take a look at this year's class with a similar lens. We're through only around a fifth of the season so the sample […]

Buy, Sell, or Hold: Danilo Gallinari and Larry Nance Jr.

A wise man once said: "Sell high, buy low!"  Those are words to live by. If you time your moves just right you might be able to turn your in-form Jarrett Allen into a slumping Myles Turner. Then, when Turner turns it around, swap him for an out-of-form Blake Griffin. Then magically transform Blake after a […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (12/6/18): NBA DFS Lineups

There used to be these DirecTV commercials of genius-level cleverness that would detail an unfortunate sequence of events a person would go through as a result of having cable. Each plot twist would build upon the prior, ultimately leading to some comedic, yet unpleasant, outcome for said individual. Like there was one where the narrator […]

John Collins Scores Career-High 26 Points

Atlanta Hawks forward John Collins scored a career-high 26 points on Wednesday against the Washington Wizards, adding 14 rebounds and two three-pointers in 32 minutes. Collins' production is beginning to reward fantasy owners that held onto him during his early-season ankle issues. The second-year pro has averaged 18.8 points and 10.0 rebounds in his past […]

Kent Bazemore Rejoins Starting Lineup

Atlanta Hawks guard/forward Kent Bazemore moved back into the starting lineup on Wednesday versus the Washington Wizards, recording 22 points, two rebounds, six assists, four steals, one block and two three-pointers. It was a very productive all-around game for the 29-year-old, who finds himself reinserted back into the starting lineup because of Taurean Prince (ankle) […]

Jeremy Lin Leaves Wednesday's Game With A Back Strain

Atlanta Hawks guard Jeremy Lin (back) was only able to play four minutes on Wednesday before leaving the contest due to a lower back strain. The severity of the injury is still not known, but it is terrible news for the Hawks, who are already without Taurean Prince (ankle). Atlanta's next game is on Saturday […]

Jeremy Lin Suffers Back Injury, Will Not Return

Atlanta Hawks reserve point guard Jeremy Lin (back) suffered a lower back injury with 1:42 remaining in the first quarter of Wednesday's game against the Wizards and will not return. While it's unclear the severity of the injury at this point in time, the injury is bad news for the Hawks, who were already without […]

Omari Spellman A Late Scratch Wednesday

Atlanta Hawks forward Omari Spellman (hip) will not play Wednesday night against the Washington Wizards. Spellman was a late addition to the injury report with right hip soreness and was originally probable, however he was ultimately ruled out.

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (12/5/18): NBA DFS Lineups

This is going to be one of our most competitive nights this season. Ten games on the slate and because each one has so much potential, I'll briefly go over each game starting with the Cavaliers and Warriors. This game is pretty clearly the one to skip out on. You could go Steph Curry or […]

Taurean Prince Will Miss Three Weeks

Atlanta Hawks forward Taurean Prince (ankle) will miss at least the next three weeks of action. An MRI revealed a ligament sprain in his left ankle and the Hawks will shut him down for the moment. Kent Bazemore is expected to jump into the starting five with Prince sidelined. Both Deandre Bembry and Kevin Huerter […]

Omari Spellman is Probable on Wednesday

Atlanta Hawks forward Omari Spellman (hip) is listed as probable for Wednesday's game against the Washington Wizards. Spellman has been dealing with a sore right hip over the last week or so. John Collins has taken away most of Spellman's fantasy value anyway. He belongs on the waiver wire while the Hawks are healthy.

Taurean Prince Expected to Miss Next Two Games

Atlanta Hawks forward Taurean Prince (ankle) is expected to miss the next two games. Luckily, the X-rays came back negative on Prince's ankle, but it is reportedly significantly swollen. The Hawks are going to give him the next few games off to rest his ankle. Kent Bazemore is expected to join the starting five. Deandre […]

Taurean Prince Scores 14 Points In Defeat

Atlanta Hawks small forward Taurean Prince finished Monday’s loss to the Golden State Warriors with 14 points, including three made triples. Make that five consecutive games with multiple three-pointers for Prince, who added three assists, but was generally quiet across the rest of the stat sheet. The nature of the loss likely affected his usage, […]

Kevin Huerter Solid Again In Seventh Start

Atlanta Hawks shooting guard Kevin Huerter seems to have made himself at home in the team’s starting lineup, finishing with 10 points, five rebounds and four assists during Monday’s loss to the Golden State Warriors. Huerter took just six shots in 27 minutes, but that seems to be his m.o. at this point, having logged […]

Dewayne Dedmon Logs Team-High 31 Minutes

Atlanta Hawks center Dewayne Dedmon entered the day battling flu-like symptoms, but he ultimately logged a team-high 31 minutes during Monday’s loss to the Golden State Warriors. Dedmon finished with six points, 10 rebounds and four steals, drawing vastly more time on the floor than Alex Len, who saw just four minutes off the bench. […]

Jeremy Lin Scores 14 Points In Return

Atlanta Hawks point/shooting guard Jeremy Lin delivered 14 points off the bench in Monday’s loss to the Golden State Warriors. For Lin, it was his first game back after a two-game absence due to an ankle injury. In addition to the scoring, he added five rebounds, five assists and two steals across 24 minutes, essentially […]

Kent Bazemore Delivers Dud Off Bench

Atlanta Hawks shooting guard/small forward Kent Bazemore was nearly silent during Monday’s loss to the Golden State Warriors, finishing with three points on one of six shooting across 19 minutes. In addition to his lack of offensive contributions, he added just one assist and one block. It appears that Kevin Huerter has leapfrogged him in […]

John Collins Scores Season-High 24 Points

Atlanta Hawks power forward/center John Collins went for a season-high 24 points during Monday’s loss to the Golden State Warriors. He delivered his third double-double of the season, adding 11 rebounds while going 11-for-14 from the floor overall.

Trae Young Records Seven Turnovers In Loss

Atlanta Hawks point guard Trae Young scuffled during Monday’s loss to the Golden State Warriors, recording seven turnovers to just three assists across 25 minutes. Young finished with 20 points, which was his highest total in the last seven games, but went 0-for-5 from beyond the arc and didn’t contribute a rebound, steal or block. […]

Jeremy Lin Cleared To Return Monday

Atlanta Hawks point/shooting guard Jeremy Lin will be back in action Monday against the Golden State Warriors, having missed the previous two games due to an ankle injury.
