• Hawks' Jalen Johnson: Comes close to triple-double

  19H ago • By RotoWire

  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.

  1D ago • By RotoWire

  Johnson amassed 29 points (12-20 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 5-6 FT), nine rebounds, eight assists, two blocks and two steals across 38 minutes during Sunday's 126-111 victory over the Pelicans. 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.

• Hawks' Jalen Johnson: Career-high 17 boards vs. Wizards

  5D ago • By RotoWire

  Johnson registered 21 points (9-21 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 2-5 FT), 17 rebounds, four assists and three steals over 30 minutes during Wednesday's 133-120 loss to the Wizards. Johnson was the second-leading scorer for the Hawks on Wednesday behind Trae Young (35) despite the former having an inefficient night from three-point range and at the charity stripe. However, the 2021 first-round pick made up for it on the glass as he grabbed a career-high 17 rebounds, six of which came on the offensive side of the floor. Johnson is averaging 16.8 points, 11.0 rebounds, 4.0 assists, 1.8 steals and 1.0 blocks through the first five games of the 2024-25 regular season.

• Hawks' Jalen Johnson: Best game of season Monday

  7D ago • By RotoWire

  Johnson contributed 29 points (11-17 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 6-7 FT), 12 rebounds, seven assists, one block and one steal over 39 minutes during Monday's 121-119 loss to the Wizards. It took Johnson a couple of games to get things going, but the star forward delivered an impressive two-way effort Monday, leading the Hawks in scoring and finishing just three assists away from a triple-double. Johnson figures to be a big part of the Hawks' short- and long-term future, and he's expected to operate as Atlanta's second-best offensive option behind Trae Young in 2024-25.

• Hawks' Jalen Johnson: Held in check

  8D ago • By RotoWire

  Johnson supplied seven points (3-13 FG, 1-3 3Pt), nine rebounds, two assists and one block over 29 minutes during Sunday's 128-104 loss to the Thunder. This was a dud by Johnson's standards, especially considering Bogdan Bogdanovic (hamstring) and De'Andre Hunter (knee) were both sidelined. His counting stats have been fine, but Johnson has yet to find his rhythm. Through three games, he's shooting 29.7 percent from the field and 20.0 percent from beyond the arc.
