Impact The Hawks will be close to full strength for this NBA Cup matchup against the Knicks, as Trae Young (Achilles), De'Andre Hunter (knee) and Bogdanovic (quadriceps) will all be available as well. Johnson has been one of the Hawks' most reliable offensive weapons all season long, and he figures to play a prominent role once again now that he'll return from a one-game absence. Johnson is averaging 20.9 points, 9.3 rebounds, 5.6 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.0 blocks per game in his last 10 appearances.

Impact Johnson is coming off a 12-point, 10-rebound effort in Friday's win over the Lakers, but it appears he may have injured his right shoulder in the process. De'Andre Hunter and Bogdan Bogdanovic would see an uptick in playing time Sunday if Johnson is unable to play.

Impact The double-double was the 12th of the season for Johnson in only 23 games, putting the fourth-year forward on pace to shatter his previous career high of 19. He's been locked in since missing a game Nov. 18 due to a minor lower-leg issue, and over nine contests since he's averaged 20.4 points, 10.0 boards, 5.8 assists, 1.9 threes, 1.2 steals and 1.0 blocks while shooting 55.8 percent from the floor and 42.5 percent (17-for-40) from beyond the arc.

During that eight-game stretch, Johnson is averaging 21.5 points, 10.0 points, 5.6 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.1 blocks per game.

Flirts with triple-double Friday Johnson posted 20 points (9-14 FG, 2-4 3Pt), nine rebounds, seven assists and one steal in 35 minutes during Friday's 117-101 victory over the Cavaliers.

Impact Johnson was one rebound and three assists shy of registering his third triple-double of his career, and he finished Friday's game as the Hawks' third-leading scorer behind De'Andre Hunter (23) and Trae Young (21). Johnson has scored at least 20 points in four straight games, and since and including Nov. 1 he has averaged 21.2 points, 10.0 rebounds, 5.8 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.1 blocks over 36.0 minutes per game.

Another strong all-around night Johnson contributed 22 points (9-16 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds, seven assists, one block and one steal in 35 minutes during Wednesday's 135-124 win over the Cavaliers.

Impact Johnson turned in a solid shooting performance and flirted with a double-double. He also posted his best passing game since Nov. 15 and recorded at least one block and one steal for a second straight appearance. The Duke product is now averaging 23.0 points and 10.2 rebounds over his last five games.

Leads Atlanta in scoring Monday Johnson contributed 28 points (12-20 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 11 rebounds, three assists, one block and three steals over 37 minutes during Monday's 129-119 loss to the Mavericks.

Impact Johnson seems to have taken over Trae Young as the No. 1 option on offense for the Hawks, and the numbers back that up. The star forward, who's emerging as a reliable double-double, stat-filling machine every time he steps on the court, has posted five double-doubles and a triple-double across his last six appearances. He's averaging 21.5 points, 11.3 rebounds, 5.5 assists, 1.7 steals and 1.5 blocks per contest in that six-game stretch.

Posts double-double in return Johnson closed with 15 points (6-16 FG, 3-5 3Pt), 14 rebounds, four assists and two steals over 35 minutes during Wednesday's 120-97 loss to Golden State.

Impact Johnson returned from a one-game absence and notched his seventh double-double of the season, albeit while shooting poorly from the floor. Any player can have an off night from the floor, however, so fantasy managers shouldn't be worried about Johnson's efficiency, particularly in this matchup against an on-the-rise Warriors team. Johnson's role as one of the Hawks' go-to players on offense shouldn't be under any threat going forward, and he'll remain valuable in fantasy even amid an occasional off night due to his impressive two-way contributions.

Impact Johnson was extremely efficient Sunday and missed just four of his 14 shots en route to leading the Hawks in scoring despite the defeat.
