• Hawks' Jalen Johnson: Stays hot from downtown

  23H ago • By RotoWire

  Johnson accumulated 20 points (8-19 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds, one assist and one block over 37 minutes during Friday's 122-121 loss to the Pistons. Johnson reached the 20-point threshold for the fourth game in a row, and he also continued to add value from beyond the arc. The Duke product has nailed two or more triples in three straight, though this number will likely fall back down to earth considering he averaged 1.3 made triples across 56 regular-season appearances a season ago.

• Hawks' Jalen Johnson: Sniffs triple-double in win

  3D ago • By RotoWire

  Johnson posted 23 points (10-18 FG, 3-6 3Pt), 15 rebounds, seven assists and one block over 39 minutes during Wednesday's 121-116 victory over the Knicks. Johnson was one of the main reasons why the Hawks pulled the upset against the Knicks, and he finished just three dimes away from recording what would've been his first triple-double of the campaign. It seems the breakout season he had in 2023-24 was the real deal, as the star forward is putting up even better numbers throughout the first two weeks of the 2024-25 campaign. Through nine contests, Johnson is averaging career-high marks in points (18.9), rebounds (10.6), assists (5.3), steals (1.6) and blocks (0.9) per game.

• Hawks' Jalen Johnson: Stuffs stat sheet once again

  4D ago • By RotoWire

  Johnson ended Monday's 123-93 loss to the Celtics with 20 points (7-20 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 4-5 FT), 11 rebounds, four assists and one steal over 31 minutes. Johnson didn't have his best performance from an efficiency perspective, but that won't matter much if he continues to deliver the same numbers he's been posting over the first two weeks of the regular season. Johnson could be in line for a sizable uptick in usage if Trae Young (ribs) is forced to miss time, but even if that's not the case, Johnson's role as a primary offensive weapon in Atlanta is set in stone. Through eight contests, Johnson is averaging 18.4 points, 10.0 rebounds, 5.1 assists and 1.8 steals per game.

  Johnson contributed 29 points (12-20 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 5-6 FT), nine rebounds, eight assists, two blocks and two steals over 38 minutes during Sunday's 126-111 win over the Pelicans. Johnson has taken things off to a new level this season and is showing improvement on both ends of the court after his career-best season in 2023-24. The star forward has entrenched himself as one of the Hawks' primary scoring threats, even ahead of Trae Young at times, and the numbers back him up. Johnson has scored over 20 points in three of his last four games and is averaging 23.3 points, 10.8 rebounds and 7.0 assists per game in that four-game stretch.

The 22-year-old tied his career high in points (29) while leading the Hawks in points, rebounds and blocks. He also dished out the second-highest mark in assists behind Trae Young (12). Johnson has been able to stuff the stat sheet on a nightly basis, and his two-way abilities have made him a valuable option in fantasy formats. The fourth-year pro is averaging 18.1 points, 9.9 rebounds, 5.3 assists, 1.8 steals and 0.8 blocks across 37.1 minutes per game through seven regular-season outings.
