Drops 20 points in loss Alexander-Walker totaled 20 points (6-19 FG, 4-14 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds, four assists, two steals and two blocks in 34 minutes during Monday's 124-114 loss to the Lakers.

Impact Alexander-Walker struggled to find the bottom of the net in the loss, but he led the team in scoring by letting it fly. He also bounced back on the opposite end after he was held without a steal or block Saturday against Brooklyn. This was an uncharacteristic shooting performance from the 28-year-old, who was hitting at a clip of 42.7 percent from the field and 42.0 percent from beyond the arc in his previous four appearances entering Monday.

Scores 20 points in win Alexander-Walker finished with 20 points (7-17 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 4-5 FT), three rebounds and one assist across 31 minutes in Saturday's 124-121 win over Brooklyn.

Impact Alexander-Walker hit the 20-point mark for the fourth consecutive contest. He didn't shoot the ball well. However, the 28-year-old continues to exceed preseason expectations. While the return of Jalen Johnson (ankle) after a three-game absence could cause Alexander-Walker's production to decline somewhat, the latter is still on track for a career year, assuming he continues to play at an All-Star level.

Leads Hawks to another win Alexander-Walker finished with 28 points (7-20 FG, 4-12 3Pt, 10-10 FT), two rebounds, two assists and two steals across 33 minutes in Friday's 139-132 win over the Wizards.

Impact Jalen Johnson (ankle) was sidelined once again Friday, so the Hawks received increased contributions from several players on the roster. However, it was Alexander-Walker who ended the night with a team-high in scoring to lead Atlanta to its third consecutive victory. With Johnson missing the last three regular-season games, Alexander-Walker has stepped up, averaging 29.3 points, 3.3 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 2.0 steals while shooting 46.3 percent from deep over 32.4 minutes per contest during that span. Although Alexander-Walker should cool off at some point, he has an excellent opportunity to stay more productive than usual if Johnson misses more time.

Impact Alexander-Walker had another fantastic performance Wednesday, tying Anthony Davis for the game-high in points. With Jalen Johnson (ankle) sidelined for the Hawks' last two contests, Alexander-Walker has turned things up, averaging 30.0 points, 4.0 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 2.0 steals while shooting 51.7 percent from deep over 31.9 minutes per outing during that span. The 28-year-old is having the best season of his career, and he could stay more productive than usual if Johnson misses more time moving forward.

Drills nine treys Alexander-Walker finished with 34 points (12-25 FG, 9-15 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds, four assists and four steals in 31 minutes during Monday's 108-104 win over Indiana.

Impact Alexander-Walker stepped up against a short-handed Indiana squad, as he turned in his best scoring performance of the young campaign. He was dialed in from downtown, where he added 27 of his 34 points just a few nights after going 0-for-7 from deep. The 28-year-old also led the Hawks with four steals on the opposite end. Alexander-Walker has now put up 20-plus points in four of his first eight games of the 2026-27 season.

Poor display from deep vs. NOLA Alexander-Walker racked up 12 points (3-12 FG, 0-7 3Pt, 6-6 FT), two rebounds, one assist and one steal across 29 minutes during Saturday's 121-99 loss to New Orleans.

Impact Alexander-Walker struggled from the floor Saturday, with seven of his nine field-goal misses coming from beyond the arc, and it was the first time this season that he failed to connect on a three-pointer. Jalen Johnson did not play in the fourth quarter due to a left ankle injury, and if he's required to miss time, Alexander-Walker would see a sharp increase in his production floor. Alexander-Walker is averaging 19.3 points, 3.1 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 3.1 threes and 1.3 steals over 30.1 minutes per game this season.

Scores 25 points Thursday Alexander-Walker delivered 25 points (8-17 FG, 4-12 3Pt, 5-5 FT), three rebounds, an assist and a block across 31 minutes in Thursday's 114-111 win over the Cavaliers.

Impact Alexander-Walker provided Atlanta with a major scoring boost, connecting on four three-pointers and making two late free throws that proved to be clutch. His 12 attempts from beyond the arc highlight his aggressive perimeter role, although his limited playmaking and rebounding make his fantasy value somewhat scoring-dependent. Continued opportunities to operate as a primary perimeter threat should support his upside, and he's enjoyed a strong start to the season as a scoring weapon -- he has cleared the 20-point mark in three of his first six outings.

Drains five triples Alexander-Walker amassed 23 points (8-18 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one steal across 32 minutes during Wednesday's 129-117 loss to the Heat.

Impact Alexander-Walker was one of Atlanta's primary offensive contributors, matching Kingston Flemings for the team lead in scoring while connecting on five three-pointers. The veteran guard accounted for nearly a third of the Hawks' made triples, providing a valuable boost in points and perimeter shooting. His substantial playing time and willingness to fire from deep give him fantasy appeal, particularly in formats that reward three-point production.

Impact The veteran guard continues to fill up the bucket from downtown. Alexander-Walker has delivered multiple three-pointers in all three games to begin the season, averaging 21.0 points, 4.0 boards, 4.0 assists, 3.7 threes and 2.0 steals in 29.7 minutes.

Solid contribution in blowout win Alexander-Walker posted 14 points (5-12 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, five assists and two steals across 27 minutes in Friday's 128-81 win over the Hornets.

Impact Alexander-Walker contributed across multiple categories despite struggling from long range. His five assists were encouraging, although the lopsided score limited his playing time, so he didn't come even remotely close to the 31-point performance he posted in the season opener. Still, Alexander-Walker should remain an important part of Atlanta's backcourt rotation, but his fantasy ceiling will depend on consistent scoring and defensive production alongside his playmaking responsibilities.

Impact Alexander-Walker torched the nets from downtown in Atlanta's regular-season opener, leading all players in triples en route to a team-high scoring total. He also got to the charity stripe frequently and paced the Hawks in free throws made. The 28-year-old swingman is coming off a career year in his first season with Atlanta and should remain one of the team's top offensive options alongside Jalen Johnson.

Leads Hawks in scoring in preseason finale Alexander-Walker recorded 25 points (7-12 FG, 6-10 3Pt, 5-9 FT), three rebounds and five assists across 27 minutes in Friday's 135-111 preseason win over the Mavericks.

Impact Alexander-Walker delivered an impressive perimeter shooting performance to lead Atlanta in scoring in this preseason finale. The veteran should be a key contributor in Atlanta's backcourt in the regular season due to his ability to knock down threes, create for others and play sound perimeter defense. All these traits should make him an intriguing fantasy option, especially since he's a lock to start in Atlanta's backcourt in the regular-season opener against the Magic on Wednesday, Oct. 21.

Impact Alexander-Walker was effective from beyond the arc, converting four of his seven attempts while contributing across multiple statistical categories. The veteran guard started and finished as Atlanta's second-leading scorer, demonstrating the perimeter shooting and complementary playmaking that should help him remain an important part of the Hawks' backcourt rotation.
