Vít Krejcí - Scoreless in spot start Krejci notched zero points (0-8 FG, 0-7 3Pt), one assist, two blocks and two steals across 27 minutes during Friday's 110-87 win over Denver.

Impact Despite shifting into the starting lineup, Krejci failed to score, missing all eight of his shot attempts. With Zaccharie Risacher sidelined due to a knee complaint, Krejci was given an opportunity to play starter-level minutes. His four defensive stats did somewhat salvage what was otherwise a disappointing night. Assuming Atlanta starts to get healthy bodies back on the floor in the coming games, Krejci should be viewed as nothing more than a potential three-point streaming option.

Asa Newell - Nine points in 11 minutes Newell finished Friday's 110-87 victory over the Nuggets with nine points (4-5 FG, 1-2 3Pt), four rebounds and one block across 11 minutes.

Impact Newell remained in the rotation, largely due to the fact that Atlanta was without a number of key pieces. While he has flashed some interesting upside this season, Newell's role is typically that of a depth piece. In 29 appearances, he has averaged 5.3 points and 2.0 rebounds in 10.9 minutes per contest.

Keaton Wallace - Increased role yields 10 points Wallace closed Friday's 110-87 victory over the Nuggets with 10 points (4-6 FG, 2-3 3Pt), two assists and one steal over 17 minutes.

Impact Wallace scored double digits for just the fifth time this season, taking advantage of some additional playing time. Both CJ McCollum and Corey Kispert were unavailable, while Zaccharie Risacher (knee) and Kristaps Porzingis (Achilles) were late scratches, allowing Wallace to step into a larger role. While this was a positive performance, his role will likely regress again, perhaps as soon as Sunday against the Warriors.

Dyson Daniels - Logs first career triple-double Daniels notched 17 points (8-14 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 11 rebounds, 10 assists and four steals across 36 minutes in Friday's 110-87 win over the Nuggets.

Impact After getting extremely close multiple times over the past few weeks, Daniels recorded his first career triple-double Friday. The 22-year-old guard grabbed a team- and season-high 11 rebounds, marking his third outings on the campaign with double-digit boards. He also led all players in assists and may continue to take on increased playmaking duties with Trae Young (quadriceps) having been traded to Washington on Wednesday. Additionally, Daniels finished with a game-best four steals, tying his season high.

Vít Krejcí - Starting Friday Krejci will start against Denver on Friday, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

Impact The fifth-year pro will join the first unit due to Zaccharie Risacher (knee) being sidelined. Krejci has started just two games so far this season, during which he has averaged 13.5 points, 2.0 rebounds and 2.0 assists in 35.0 minutes per tilt. He has been extremely efficient from three-point range of late, shooting 49.2 percent from downtown on 6.5 attempts per game over his last 10 outings.

Mouhamed Gueye - Reverting to bench Friday Gueye is not in the Hawks' starting lineup against the Nuggets on Friday, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

Impact Gueye made his fourth start of the season Wednesday against the Pelicans, finishing with 10 points, 11 rebounds, six assists, four steals and two blocks over 31 minutes. Despite the impressive stat line, the third-year pro will revert to a bench role Friday due to the return of Onyeka Okongwu, though Gueye should still have a sizeable reserve role in the absence of Kristaps Porzingis (Achilles).

Zaccharie Risacher - Won't play Friday Risacher (knee) has been ruled out for Friday's game in Denver.

Impact With Risacher out, there will be more minutes available for Vit Krejci and Luke Kennard. Risacher's next chance to play will come Sunday against the Warriors.

Kristaps Porzingis - Not playing Friday Porzingis (Achilles) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Nuggets.

Impact Porzingis was a late addition to Friday's injury report due to left Achilles tendinitis, and the injury will prevent him from playing in Friday's contest. Mouhamed Gueye is in line for more minutes off the bench in Porzingis' absence. Porzingis' next opportunity to play is Sunday against the Warriors.

Zaccharie Risacher - Late addition to injury report Risacher is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Nuggets due to left knee inflammation.

Impact Risacher was an extremely late addition to the injury report, which isn't a positive sign for his availability. The second-year forward will likely be a game-time call ahead of Friday's tipoff at 9:00 p.m. ET. If he isn't cleared to suit up, Vit Krejci and Luke Kennard could see increased playing time.

Corey Kispert - Ruled out Friday Kispert (not with team) will not play Friday against the Nuggets.

Impact Kispert's trade to Atlanta was finalized Friday morning, but he and CJ McCollum haven't joined the team yet. Presumably, both players will be ready to make their debuts Sunday against the Warriors.

Kristaps Porzingis - Late addition to injury report Porzingis is questionable for Friday's game against the Nuggets due to left Achilles tendinitis.

Impact Porzingis is a late addition to the injury report Friday, which tends to be an ominous sign. The star big man has come off the bench in four consecutive games, and his possible absence would open up more playing time for Mouhamed Gueye in the frontcourt rotation.
