Dyson Daniels News, Rumors, Updates - Atlanta Hawks

Grabs three steals in return Daniels (illness) had nine points (4-17 FG, 1-7 3Pt), six assists, five rebounds and three steals across 30 minutes during Wednesday's 139-120 loss to the Nuggets.

Impact Daniels returned to action following a two-game absence streak due to an illness. The 21-year-old struggled to find his rhythm on the offensive end, though he logged a steal for the sixth game in a row in a well-rounded effort. Daniels has averaged 10.6 points, 4.8 rebounds, 4.4 assists and 3.8 steals across 30.8 minutes per game in his last five outings. He has also shot 38.1 percent from deep in that span.

Available against Nuggets Daniels (illness) is available for Wednesday's game against the Nuggets, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

Impact After missing the past two games with an illness, Daniels is ready to return to Atlanta's lineup Wednesday. The disruptive wing averaged 12.1 points, 5.0 rebounds, 4.3 assists and 3.3 steals in 33.3 minutes over 10 games in December, and Daniels figures to handle his usual allotment of playing time as well as some added usage in the absence of Jalen Johnson (shoulder).

Expected back Wednesday Daniels (illness) is probable for Wednesday's game against Cleveland, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

Impact Daniels has missed his squad's last two games while dealing with an illness, but it appears he's trending in the right direction. Expect final word from Atlanta on Daniels' availability closer to tipoff.

Remains out Sunday Daniels (illness) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Raptors, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

Impact Daniels will miss both halves of Atlanta's weekend back-to-back set due to an illness. His next chance to suit up will come Wednesday against the Nuggets. In Daniels' absence, Vit Krejci and Garrison Mathews are candidates for increased roles.

Ruled out Saturday Daniels (illness) won't play in Saturday's game against the Heat, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

Impact Daniels will get the night off to recover from a non-COVID illness, leaving more opportunities for Vit Krejci, De'Andre Hunter and David Roddy. Daniels' next chance to play will come Sunday at Toronto.

Considered questionable Daniels is listed as questionable for Saturday's game versus the Heat due to an illness.

Impact Daniels status will presumably depend on how he is feeling closer to tip off. The defensive stud amassed two blocks and a career-high eight steals over 34 minutes in Monday's 117-104 win over the Timberwolves. Some combination of Bogdan Bogdanovic, De'Andre Hunter and Vit Krejci would likely absorb Daniels' minutes should he ultimately be unable to give it a go.

Elite defensive production again Daniels amassed 10 points (4-10 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, four assists, two blocks and eight steals over 34 minutes during Monday's 117-104 win over the Timberwolves.

Impact Daniels was at it again, recording a career-high eight steals, as the Hawks took care of the Timberwolves. Daniels has been a revelation this season, exceeding the expectations of even his biggest supporters. Given the advanced metrics have Daniels right at the top of the list when it comes to deflections, there is no reason to think he can't continue to lead the league in steals.

DECEMBER 24, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Records six steals in loss Daniels recorded 15 points (6-9 FG, 3-5 3Pt), three rebounds, six assists, one block and six steals across 29 minutes during Saturday's 128-112 loss to the Grizzlies.

Impact Daniels reminded everyone of his elite defensive upside, recording at least five steals for the seventh time this season. With Trae Young sidelined due to a heel injury, Daniels took control of the offense, tallying at least six assists for just the fourth time since joining the Hawks. With or without Young on the court, Daniels should continue to build a case for Defensive Player of the Year honors, currently averaging 3.9 combined steals and blocks.

Impact Daniels cobbled together another serviceable performance, continuing his breakout season. Although his scoring has been a little inconsistent, his defensive numbers continue to astound. He is averaging 3.9 combined steals and blocks across the first 25 games, putting him firmly in the discussion for Defensive Player of the Year.

Grabs five steals in loss Sunday Daniels provided 18 points (7-15 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-4 FT), six assists, five steals, four rebounds and one block in 34 minutes during Sunday's 141-111 loss to the Nuggets.

Impact Daniels stuffed the stat sheet in an impressive performance on both sides of the floor, racking up three-plus steals for his 13th time over 23 regular-season outings. The 21-year-old also led the starting five in scoring, and he reached the second-highest mark in points on the team behind De'Andre Hunter (20 points). Daniels' two-way play continues to make him a top option across fantasy formats, and in his last five outings, he has averaged 14.7 points, 4.6 steals, 4.5 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 0.7 blocks across 35.5 minutes per contest.

Stellar two-way play in victory Daniels racked up 19 points (8-16 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, four steals, two assists and one block across 35 minutes during Monday's 124-112 win over the Pelicans.

Impact The 21-year-old led the team in steals while tying Jalen Johnson for the most points among the starting five. Daniels has been impressive on both ends of the floor in a breakout season, and he has logged eight games with four-plus steals. Moreover, the young guard has made significant strides offensively, reaching double-digit points in 14 of his 20 regular-season appearances after averaging only 5.8 points across 22.3 minutes per game with the Pelicans last year. Daniels continues to deliver stellar performances on both sides of the ball, and his two-way play has made him a top option for fantasy managers.

Another four steals in loss Daniels provided eight points (3-14 FG, 2-4 3Pt), five rebounds, four assists and four steals over 32 minutes during Friday's 136-122 loss to the Bulls.

Impact Daniels struggled from the field, shooting just 3-of-14 from the field. However, he managed to chip in elsewhere, something he has done on a consistent basis this season. He currently leads the league in steals and deflections, providing the Hawks with a much-needed defensive presence on the wing. His offensive game is still a little raw, although it does appear as though his confidence is right where it needs to be. Should his scoring ability ever catch up with his defensive production, he could escalate himself to another level.

Strong two-way impact Monday Daniels finished Monday's 109-108 win over Sacramento with 14 points (6-14 FG, 2-5 3Pt), eight rebounds, four assists and four blocks in 39 minutes.

Impact Daniels finished just two rebounds shy of a double-double Monday, but he also made his presence felt with a season-high four blocks. His two-way impact can't go unnoticed in Atlanta, and his elite defensive play has allowed Trae Young to excel as a playmaker, as Daniels has shown the ability to handle opposing point guards on the other end of the court. Daniels has also looked better than expected as a scoring threat. He's averaging 15.9 points, 5.1 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 3.7 steals per game since the beginning of November.
