Andrew Nembhard - Back at practice Tuesday Nembhard (neck) was a full participant during Tuesday's practice and expects to play in Friday's preseason finale against the Cavaliers, Scott Agness of FieldhouseFiles.com reports...

Impact Nembhard was a full participant for the first time in nearly two weeks, and he appears to have moved past the neck soreness that sidelined him to begin training camp. The 2022 second-round pick showed flashes as a rookie last year, but he's slated for a reserve role behind Tyrese Haliburton and Bennedict Mathurin to begin the 2023-24 campaign.

AJ Griffin - Solid numbers off bench Griffin scored 15 points (6-10 FG, 3-4 3Pt) while adding two rebounds, two assists and a steal across 20 minutes off the bench in Monday's 116-112 preseason loss to the Pacers.

Impact Griffin is slated to open the 2023-24 season as a regular rotation piece for the Hawks, likely to operate as the backup at small forward behind De'Andre Hunter. Griffin can offer value as a three-point threat who can also defend, and he should average around 20 to 25 minutes per night if he stays healthy.

De'Andre Hunter - Puts up 16 points Monday Hunter posted 16 points (4-9 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 7-9 FT) and three rebounds across 20 minutes in Monday's 116-112 preseason loss to the Pacers.

Impact Hunter scored nearly half of his points from the charity stripe and didn't do much else, but he's simply trying to finish the preseason in the best possible shape. He's likely locked into the starting small forward spot to begin the regular season.

Onyeka Okongwu - Active at both ends Monday Okongwu finished with 11 points (4-8 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 3-6 FT), six rebounds, an assist and two blocks across 26 minutes in Monday's 116-112 preseason loss to the Pacers.

Impact Okongwu has received a few starts during preseason action, and even though he looked quite good in this one, all signs point to him playing off the bench while Clint Capela operates with the first unit. Okongwu is still valuable in fantasy this year as a handcuff option and could be quite an asset in dynasty formats. He averaged 9.9 points, 7.2 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 1.3 blocks across 23.1 minutes per game last season.

Myles Turner - Scores 13, swats three shots Turner ended with 13 points (4-5 FG, 3-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, a steal and three blocks across 16 minutes in Monday's 116-112 preseason win over the Hawks.

Impact Turner was efficient from the field and active as a defensive presence, which is the value he'll ultimately bring once the regular season rolls around. As one of the best long-range shooters -- among big men -- in the league, Turner possesses strong upside in most formats. He can fill the stat sheet on any given night even if he's a below-average rebounder for his size.
