Atlanta Hawks forward Bogdan Bogdanovic (hamstring) will play against the Grizzlies. The veteran has made frequent appearances on the injury report because of a nagging left hamstring issue, but it hasn't caused him to miss any time recently. Nonetheless, his inconsistent play should be worrisome for DFS managers, although his shooting percentages should keep him in the starting lineup in category formats for the favorable matchup with Memphis.

Atlanta Hawks point/shooting guard Bogdan Bogdanovic (quad) will play in Monday's game against the Celtics despite previously having been listed as questionable due to a right quad contusion. Bogdanovic has started each of the first 16 games that he has appeared this season, but his production has fluctuated on a nightly basis to the tune of just an 11.9 points per game average. After firing a whopping 7.6 triples per game last season, that number has dipped by an average of nearly two fewer threes this year, capping some of his prior perceived upside. With numerous mouths to feed on the Hawks' offense -- particularly on the wing -- Bogdanovic stands to get lost in the shuffle when facing a defensive-minded unit.

Atlanta Hawks guard Bogdan Bogdanovic (quad) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. He was dealing with an ankle issue last week and now has a quad contusion. Bogdanovic was already playing below average this season, but the injuries haven't helped him at all. Fantasy managers should expect Cam Reddish to see more playing time and touches if Bogdanovic is forced to miss time. He could have some low cost DFS appeal without Bogdanovic on the court.

Atlanta Hawks point/shooting guard Bogdan Bogdanovic (ankle) and shooting guard/small forward Kevin Huerter (hamstring) have been given the thumbs up to take the floor for Wednesday's game against the Celtics. Atlanta will continue to have its full allotment of weapons on the wing with Bogdanovic and Huerter active, although the Serbian remains the more appealing fantasy cog due to consistent early-season scoring production (double figures in 10 of 14 games). Huerter has uncharacteristically scuffled from long range (30.6%), averaging more than two fewer triples attempted per game than he did last season (3.5, down from 5.6). Both players can be greenlit for DFS and season-long usage where applicable.

Atlanta Hawks guard Bogdan Bogdanovic (ankle) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Orlando Magic. He was able to play 30 minutes on Sunday and didn't seem to be in any pain. However, he did struggle offensively, so possibly the Hawks take the cautious approach here. Regardless, it sounds like Bogdanovic will be a game-time decision for this contest. Kevin Huerter and Cam Reddish would likely stand to gain the most fantasy value. Huerter would be an intriguing DFS option given extended minutes.

Atlanta Hawks point/shooting guard Bogdan Bogdanovic (ankle) has been cleared to suit up for Friday's matchup against the Nuggets. Bogdanovic returns after a one-game absence, in which Kevin Huerter and Cam Reddish each saw at least 30 minutes of action. Having developed into a sharpshooting dynamo, Bogdanovic has hit a three in each of his first 11 contests, even as his scoring average has taken an early-season dip from where it sat in 2020-21. The 29-year-old faces a particularly stingy matchup Friday as Denver boasts the fewest points per game allowed in the league (98.5), which stands to damper Bogdanovic's DFS appeal.

Atlanta Hawks forward Bogdan Bogdanovic (ankle) is considered a game-time decision for Friday's game against the Denver Nuggets. Both Bogdanovic and De'Andre Hunter (wrist) could possibly miss this game after sitting out on Tuesday. Kevin Huerter scored a season-high 28 points in place of Bogdanovic on Tuesday. He will be an excellent DFS option for Friday's slate, assuming Bogdanovic sits out. Fantasy managers should check back closer to game time for more information.

Atlanta Hawks shooting guard Bogdan Bogdanovic (ankle) and small forward De'Andre Hunter (wrist) have been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Jazz. Bogdanovic's absence marks his first of the year, while Hunter will be down for the second time in 2021-22. With the team severely short-handed on the wing, Kevin Huerter and Cam Reddish stand to see elevated roles, while Trae Young should be viewed as an upside DFS option. The next chance that Bogdanovic and Hunter will have to return to action comes Friday vs. Denver.

Atlanta Hawks guard Bogdan Bogdanovic (ankle) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Utah Jazz. He has been dealing with right ankle soreness, but has been playing through the issue. That being said, it wouldn't be shocking to see the Hawks be cautious here. Kevin Huerter would likely benefit the most in the absence of Bogdanovic. He could have solid DFS value without Bogdanovic on the court. Fantasy managers should check back closer to tip off for more information.

Atlanta Hawks guard Bogdan Bogdanovic (ankle) will play during Saturday's game against the Phoenix Suns. The Hawks continue listing him as probable, but Bogdanovic will suit up despite a dealing with right ankle soreness. There is no indication that this injury will limit him at all. Sadly, Bogdanovic has been underwhelming this season, but fantasy managers in season long formats can feel safe deploying him for Saturday's slate.

Atlanta Hawks guard Bogdan Bogdanovic (ankle) is listed as probable heading into Saturday's matchup versus Phoenix. The 29-year-old has been dealing with right ankle soreness for a while, but it hasn't caused him to miss any time. However, despite receiving his usual workload, he continues to struggle, averaging a career-low 11.2 points so far this year. Nonetheless, unless Bogdanovic starts to turn things around, fantasy managers may want to consider other options in all setups.

Atlanta Hawks power forward/center John Collins (foot) and point/shooting guard Bogdan Bogdanovic (ankle) have both gotten the thumbs up to take the floor Thursday against Utah. Collins has gotten off to an impressive start to the season, with three double-doubles under his belt, entering play vs. the Jazz averaging 15.9 points per game. Bogdanovic, now fully entrenched among the starting five, has shot 41.7 percent from behind the arc, adding a career-best 3.9 rebounds per contest. The duo will square off with a notoriously stout Jazz defense, which has allowed just 100.4 points per game (fourth lowest in the league) thus far.

Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young (knee) and Bogdan Bogdanovic (back), listed as probable, are available to play in Wednesday's game against the Nets. Young has been a little banged up to start the year, though it didn't affect him his last time out, as he dropped 26 points with six dimes while draining all 11 free throws. He should be a strong start for the fast-paced affair with Brooklyn. Meanwhile, Bogdanovic has started to pick up his game as of late, scoring at least 13 points on 54 percent shooting or better in each of his last three games while adding assists, steals, and three-pointers.

Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young (shin) and guard Kevin Huerter (ankle), both listed as probable, are available for Thursday's game against the Wizards. Bogdan Bogdanovic (ankle) and Lou Williams (ankle) will also play. There was little doubt that these four would be able to suit up, so it's not particularly surprising to see that they'll take the court for a favorable matchup with Washington. Young is the center of the Hawks universe and should be treated as a must-start option whenever healthy. Bogdanovic, Huerter, and Williams have each played lesser roles to start the season- and are lukewarm options for fantasy purposes.

Atlanta Hawks guard Bogdan Bogdanovic (ankle) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Washington Wizards. The Hawks could be shorthanded here with Lou Williams (ankle), Trae Young (shin) and Kevin Huerter (ankle) all banged up right now. The hope is that most of them should be able to suit up on Thursday. Bogdanovic has been off to a slow start, but fantasy managers should be patient with him. Cam Reddish could be an appealing streaming option if the Hawks are shorthanded for this contest.

ATLANTA (AP) — Atlanta Hawks general manager Travis Schlenk moved quickly to lock down Nate McMillan as the full-time coach, reaching an agreement to remove the interim tag only two days after team's season ended. The deal comes after McMillan, in his interim role, led the team to an improbable run to the Eastern Conference finals. Schlenk said Monday that “an agreement in place in principal” was reached earlier in the day with McMillan. “We’re just drawing up the contract,” Schlenk said. The team is expected to officially announce the deal on Tuesday. Details were not immediately available. McMillan, 56, was named interim coach after Lloyd Pierce was fired when the team had a 14-20 record. The Hawks enjoyed an immediate turnaround under McMillan. They played better late in games, protecting leads while posting a 27-11 mark that gave them the No. 5 seed in the Eastern Conference playoffs. It was Atlanta's first playoff berth since 2017. The Hawks were underdogs in beating the New York Knicks... [More]

ATLANTA (AP) — As the final seconds ticked off on a season that lasted far longer than anyone expected, the crowd rose to its feet to salute the home team. The Atlanta Hawks sure earned the cheers. Making an improbable turnaround from what looked like another lost year, the Hawks earned a spot in the playoffs for the first time since 2017, knocked off the top-seeded team in the East, and made it all the way to the conference finals. The Cinderella run finally ended Saturday night with a 118-107 loss to the Milwaukee Bucks, who won the series 4-2 and advanced to the NBA Finals to take on the Phoenix Suns. But the disappointing finish did nothing to dampen the enthusiasm of a long-downtrodden franchise that seems poised for more long-term success than at any time since moving to Atlanta in 1968. “This is the beginning,” Trae Young said. “We have the city excited and we want to keep it like that.” The Hawks will likely bring back largely the same cast next season, though they do have two major...

ATLANTA (AP) — Lou Williams was on the training table when his coach walked up to deliver some rather startling news. Atlanta Hawks star Trae Young would not be able to play Game 4 of the Eastern Conference finals because of an injury. Williams would be getting the first playoff start of his long career. “OK,” he replied. That's it. No big deal. “It's not like a ‘Remember The Titans’ thing happens in the locker room, I can promise you that," Williams said with a wry smile. ”That was the extent of our conversation, and then we had to get ready for the game." Boy, was he ready. Williams stepped into Young's enormous shoes and guided the Hawks to a 110-88 rout of the Milwaukee Bucks, evening the Eastern Conference final at two wins apiece Tuesday night. Williams led the way with 21 points on 7-of-9 shooting, dished out eight assists and had just one turnover in 35 minutes of playing time — his most extensive outing since the 34-year-old guard was acquired by the Hawks at the trade deadline....

ATLANTA (AP) — John Collins' value to the Atlanta Hawks' championship hopes — and in free agency — can't be fully measured by his points and rebounds. To better appreciate the power forward's vital role, try to imagine the Hawks' matchup against Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Milwaukee Bucks in the Eastern Conference finals without Collins' size and athleticism. Game 1 of the series is Wednesday night in Milwaukee. The Bucks are favored by seven points by FanDuel Sportsbook. in a physical conference semifinal series against Philadelphia in which the 76ers seemed to try and bully Collins and the Hawks, he posted double-doubles in the last four games of the conference semifinal series. Collins had 14 points, 16 rebounds, Atlanta's only blocked shot and a steal in the 103-96 series-clinching Game 7 win on Sunday night. “I’m glad I got to experience something like this,” Collins said. “It’s a legendary moment for myself personally.” Collins saw the potential for the Hawks to return to the playoffs...

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Doc Rivers met Joel Embiid on the court, slapped the big man’s hand and gave him a big I-told-you-so in the waning moments of a Game 6 victory. Rivers believed in his 76ers. Embiid, Seth Curry and even Tobias Harris came through down the stretch to reward Rivers’ faith in them and win in Atlanta. “These guys are young, man,” Rivers said. “They need to believe that. I didn’t know if they did or didn’t. I thought they did. You can tell in the way we played. But he have another game.” This Eastern Conference semifinal comes down to Game 7 Sunday in Philadelphia and there’s scant proof the home-court edge will matter much for the top-seeded Sixers. Game 1, Atlanta leads by 26 points, wins. Game 5, Hawks trail by 26, win. Both games in Philly. Here comes Trae Young and the Hawks back to Philadelphia, with recent road success on their side -- but the weight of Atlanta’s career 0-9 mark in Game 7s on the road against them. “You have to look at that, the fact we have won there...
