Dyson Daniels News, Rumors, Updates - Atlanta Hawks

Defense makes up for offense in win Daniels posted six points (3-16 FG, 0-4 3Pt), five rebounds, two assists, one block and four steals over 37 minutes during Wednesday's 121-116 win over New York.

Impact Daniels had a rough night shooting the ball. However, fantasy managers have to remain pleased with his defensive contributions. Daniels has at least one steal in every game thus far and is averaging 2.4 steals and 0.7 blocks in his 30.7 minutes. Inconsistent offense may persist throughout the campaign, as that's the weakpoint of his game, but he's still someone who should be rostered in the vast majority of season-long fantasy leagues.

Solid display in return to action Daniels ended with 16 points (7-10 FG, 2-5 3Pt), five rebounds, three assists and one steal across 25 minutes during Sunday's 126-111 win over the Pelicans.

Impact Daniels returned after a brief two-game absence due to a right hip flexor strain, and the 21-year-old continues to enjoy a solid start to the campaign, as he's firmly entrenched as the Hawks' starting shooting guard with Bogdan Bogdanovic (hamstring) sidelined for the time being. Daniels has scored in double digits in four of his five appearances, putting up a solid line of 13.4 points, 4.4 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 2.4 steals per game. His ability to make an impact on both ends of the court has given the Hawks quite a boost in their backcourt.

Listed questionable for Sunday Daniels (hip) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Pelicans, Lauren L. Williams of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Impact Daniels has missed two straight games due to a right hip strain but has a chance to return Sunday. With so many injuries to Atlanta's backcourt, Daniels has a clear path to heavy minutes when cleared to suit up again, and he was off to a strong start before the injury, especially defensively. Through four appearances, he's averaged 12.8 points, 4.3 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 2.8 steals and 1.0 blocks in 32.3 minutes per game.

Won't play Wednesday Daniels won't play Wednesday against the Wizards due to a right hip flexor strain, Kevin Chouinard of the Hawks' official site reports.

Impact Daniels has broken out through the first four games of the season, averaging 12.8 points, 4.3 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 2.8 steals and 1.0 blocks in 32.3 minutes per game. It's unclear when he suffered the injury or how severe it is, but the Hawks will be extremely shorthanded Wednesday, as Bogdan Bogdanovic (hamstring) and Vit Krejci (thigh) remain out, while De'Andre Hunter (knee) is questionable. Daniels' next chance to suit up will come Friday versus the Kings.

Steal streak continues Monday Daniels logged 11 points (4-9 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, one assist and three steals over 36 minutes during Monday's 121-119 loss to the Wizards.

Impact Daniels has been a low-usage offensive player for the Hawks, but his defense has been excellent. He's recorded at least one steal in each of his first four games, averaging 2.8 swipes in his 32.5 minutes. He's also blocking 1.0 shots per game. As the No. 8 pick in the 2022 NBA Draft, Daniels was known for his defense, so these types of performances should continue.

Thrives in starting role Daniels recorded 15 points (6-12 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-4 FT), five rebounds, two assists, one block and five steals in 35 minutes during Wednesday's 120-116 win over the Nets.

Impact Daniels looked fantastic on both ends of the floor, serving as Robin to Trae Young's Batman. Despite some conjecture as to whether he would start, sure enough, Daniels ran with the starting five and certainly didn't look out of place. His overall fantasy value is likely to rely heavily on his defensive contributions, of which he had six. His offensive repertoire is a work in progress, although he flashed some upside here, attacking the basket and confidently firing away from deep. Daniels was viewed by some as a viable late-round flier in drafts, while others were less confident when it came to his draft pedigree. This is just a small sample but as long as he can play upwards of 30 minutes per night, he could continue to surprise people and end up being a fantasy stalwart for years to come.

Strong two-way performance Daniels compiled 13 points (5-14 FG, 3-7 3PT), eight rebounds, four assists and three steals in 24 minutes during Thursday's preseason loss to the Thunder.

Impact Daniels remained in the starting lineup, a role that could very well be his for the taking when the season starts next week. He makes sense as a defensive stopper alongside Trae Young, with Bogdan Bogdanovic providing a scoring punch off the bench. Despite his limited offensive upside, Daniels should be considered late in drafts, especially for his defensive capabilities and out-of-position rebounding.

Productive in spot start Daniels finished with 14 points (5-8 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT), a rebound, three assists and two steals across 22 minutes in Tuesday's 131-130 preseason win over the Pacers.

Impact Daniels got the start alongside Trae Young in the backcourt since Bogdan Bogdanovic was rested, and the former Pelicans guard did a solid job on both ends of the court. That said, Daniels is expected to open the regular season on a bench role, which should limit his upside considerably regardless of how he looks in preseason.

Gets starting nod Daniels is in the starting lineup for Tuesday's preseason opener against the Pacers, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

Impact Daniels is set to make his Hawks debut Tuesday after spending the first two years of his career in New Orleans. While Daniels is expected to come off the bench this season, he will start in place of Bogdan Bogdanovic (rest) against Indiana.

Dealt to Atlanta Daniels, Larry Nance and two first-round picks were traded from the Pelicans to the Hawks for Dejounte Murray, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

Impact As expected, the Hawks have dealt one of their two backcourt starters, now shifting to a younger look after drafting Zaccharie Risacher with the No. 1 pick in the 2024 NBA Draft. It's easy to forget Daniels was selected with the No. 8 pick in 2022, as he struggled to find consistent minutes due to injury and an influx of win-now talent on New Orleans' roster. Daniels, at 6-foot-7, 199 pounds, is a versatile on-ball defender who can disrupt players across the board. On offense, he's shown playmaking upside, but he struggles shooting the ball. It's not a perfect fit next to Trae Young, but it's the right player to take a chance on during a soft rebuild.
