Impact McCollum made his Hawks debut Sunday after being acquired Wednesday in the deal that sent Trae Young to the Wizards. McCollum logged 24 minutes off the bench and finished as one of six Atlanta players to score in double figures, though he failed to connect from three-point range. After averaging 18.8 points, 3.6 assists and 3.5 rebounds in 30.9 minutes across 35 starts this season with the Wizards, the veteran's role and usage with his new team will be worth monitoring going forward.

Nickeil Alexander-Walker - Strong contributor in win Alexander-Walker notched 24 points (9-18 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 3-3 FT), three steals, two rebounds and two assists across 34 minutes during Sunday's 124-111 victory over the Warriors.

Impact Alexander-Walker was one of three Hawks to top 20 points in Sunday's double-digit road win. The 27-year-old has been confident firing from deep, knocking down at least three triples in seven of the past 10 games. It's been a true breakout in the guard's first season with Atlanta, as he's averaging 20.6 points through 39 appearances after posting single-digit scoring averages in each of the previous three regular seasons.

Onyeka Okongwu - Flirts with triple-double in win Okongwu posted 18 points (6-14 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 12 rebounds, eight assists and two steals across 34 minutes during Sunday's 124-111 victory over Golden State.

Impact Okongwu filled the stat sheet Sunday with a double-double and fell two assists shy of his first career triple-double, though the eight dimes still marked a career high. Long praised for his interior presence, the 25-year-old has taken a noticeable step forward offensively this season, averaging 16.3 points and 3.4 assists through 39 games (28 starts) after posting 13.4 points and 2.3 assists across 74 regular-season contests last year. While prolific scoring may never be his calling card, Okongwu's expanded offensive impact has been a welcome development for Atlanta.

Luke Kennard - Erupts for 22 points Kennard racked up 22 points (8-11 FG, 6-9 3Pt), one rebound and one assist in 20 minutes during Sunday's 124-111 victory over the Warriors.

Impact Kennard exited in the second quarter due to a neck injury but returned and caught fire, pouring in a season-high 22 points while drilling a game-high six three-pointers. The veteran's minutes have fluctuated in a reserve role across all 36 appearances this season, but elite perimeter shooting remains his calling card, as the Duke product is connecting on 47.5 percent from deep and hasn't finished below 40.0 percent since the 2019-20 campaign.
