Logs 28 minutes Tuesday Risacher ended with nine points (4-11 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), nine rebounds, three assists and one steal across 28 minutes during Tuesday's 119-98 victory over Washington.

Impact Risacher came off the bench once again, a role he has now assumed for two straight games. Despite the relegation, he was able to log 28 minutes, the most he has played since Jan 7. With Jalen Johnson forced from the game due to a hip issue, Risacher absorbed some of the additional playing time. While this trend could continue if Johnson is sidelined for any length of time, managers should be cautious when considering him, outside of deeper formats.

Rare appearance in win Wallace chipped in three points (1-4 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-1 FT) across six minutes during Tuesday's 119-98 win over the Wizards.

Impact Wallace logged six minutes during garbage time, entering the rotation for just the second time in the past eight games. In his last six appearances, Wallace has averaged just 1.3 points in 2.6 minutes, making him a non-factor in all fantasy formats.

Grabs 11 boards in win Gueye produced six points (2-4 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 11 rebounds, one assist and two steals over 18 minutes during Tuesday's 119-98 victory over Washington.

Impact Gueye moved into the starting lineup for the second half, replacing Jalen Johnson, who was ruled out after just seven minutes due to a hip injury. Gueye subsequently grabbed double-digit boards for the first time in his past 21 games, putting him on the radar as a streaming consideration, should Johnson be forced to miss additional time.

Impressive in Atlanta debut Kuminga finished Tuesday's 119-98 win over the Wizards with 27 points (9-12 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 6-7 FT), seven rebounds, four assists and two steals over 24 minutes.

Impact Kuminga was acquired by the Hawks from the Warriors in early February, but it wasn't until Tuesday when the fifth-year forward made his debut with Atlanta after he progressed enough in his recovery from a left knee bone bruise. It was just his third game since Dec. 20, but there didn't appear to be any rust for Kuminga, who scored 18 of his season-high 27 points in the third quarter. Jalen Johnson left in the first quarter and did not return due to a left hip flexor injury, and Kuminga would figure to take on an expanded role if the former were to miss any time.

Won't return Tuesday Johnson won't return to Tuesday's game against the Wizards due to a left hip flexor injury. He'll finish with five points (2-4 FG, 1-2 FT), three rebounds and two steals across six...

Impact Johnson sustained the hip injury in the first quarter and was initially deemed questionable to return before being ruled out shortly thereafter. With the star forward unavailable, Jonathan Kuminga and Mouhamed Gueye are candidates for increased playing time the rest of the way. Johnson's next opportunity to play will come in Thursday's rematch versus Washington.

Exits game with hip injury Johnson is questionable to return to Tuesday's game against the Wizards due to a left hip flexor injury.

Impact Johnson went to the locker room midway through the first quarter, where he is being evaluated by medical staff to determine whether he can return to Tuesday's game. Dyson Daniels, Nickeil Alexander-Walker and CJ McCollum will step into more prominent roles on offense and Zaccharie Risacher and Jonathan Kuminga are candidates to see more minutes off the bench for as long as Johnson is out of the game.

Available Tuesday Kuminga (knee) is available for Tuesday's game against the Wizards.

Impact Kuminga hasn't played since Jan. 22 due to a left knee bone bruise but will be available to make his Hawks debut Tuesday. The 23-year-old forward appeared in 20 regular-season outings (13 starts) with Golden State before being traded to Atlanta on Feb. 4. With the Warriors this season, he averaged 12.1 points, 5.9 rebounds and 2.5 assists in 23.8 minutes per contest. It wouldn't be surprising if Kuminga operated under a minutes restriction following the extended absence. Still, his return will leave fewer minutes available for the likes of Corey Kispert and Mouhamed Gueye.
