Hawks' Georges Niang: Immediate impact in team debut
Georges Niang contributed 16 points (6-10 FG, 4-7 3Pt), six rebounds, three assists and three steals over 26 minutes during Saturday's 125-111 victory over Washington.Making his Atlanta Hawks debut, Niang was immediately thrust into the starting lineup and recorded a season-high three steals. The 31-year-old operated strictly as a reserve for the Cavaliers, as evidenced by his one start this season prior to Saturday. Still, it appears initially as though Atlanta has a significant role in mind for Niang at power forward in the void of Jalen Johnson (shoulder). That said, Niang is worth a speculative add in deep fantasy leagues until his role becomes solidified.

Cavaliers' Georges Niang: Steps up with season-high 10 boards
Georges Niang notched 15 points (5-7 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 10 rebounds, one assist and one steal across 29 minutes during Saturday's 124-117 win over the Timberwolves.With Evan Mobley sidelined with a calf injury Saturday, Niang stepped up off Cleveland's bench with his highest scoring output since Jan. 3 against Dallas to go with his first double-double of the season. Although it was sixth man Caris LeVert who drew the start for the Cleveland Cavaliers in Mobley's stead, Niang may have left enough of an impression to be considered for a start if Mobley sits out Monday's game against the Suns as well. In any case, Niang should offer streaming value in fantasy leagues until Mobley is healthy.
