Johnson finished with 16 points (6-22 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 16 rebounds and 11 assists in 35 minutes during Friday's 128-97 loss to the Heat.
After delivering a 32-point double-double in Thursday's win over Philadelphia, Johnson racked up his third triple-double this month. He led Atlanta with game highs in rebounds and assists, and he has grabbed double-digit boards in all but one of his last eight outings. However, he struggled mightily with efficiency and has shot just 34.1 percent from the floor over his last two games.

Rotowire
Johnson is questionable for Monday's game against Minnesota with left knee inflammation.
Johnson is a late addition to the injury report, which is generally a bad sign. If the star forward can't play, more playing time would open up for Corey Kispert and Zaccharie Risacher in the Atlanta frontcourt.

Hawks' Jalen Johnson: Comes close to triple-double
Rotowire
Johnson accumulated 31 points (10-18 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 9-11 FT), nine rebounds, eight assists and three steals over 40 minutes during Saturday's 126-119 loss to the Hornets.
Johnson finished one rebound and two assists away from recording what would've been a triple-double -- a feat he's achieved regularly this season. The first-time All-Star is firmly entrenched as the Hawks' go-to option on offense and should continue to fill the stat sheet every time he steps on the court. Johnson was coming off three straight triple-doubles and has achieved that feat 10 times in 2025-26.

In Johnson's six games since that period, he's averaged 25.0 points, 13.7 rebounds and 7.7 assists, reinforcing his status as a first-round value in nine-category formats.

Hawks' Jalen Johnson: Won't play Thursday
Rotowire
Johnson is out for Thursday's game against the Rockets due to left calf tightness, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
After playing 33 minutes during Wednesday's 117-106 victory over Boston, the star forward is sitting out the second half of this back-to-back. With Onyeka Okongwu (face) also ruled out, the Hawks are likely to ask more of Corey Kispert, Luke Kennard and Mouhamed Gueye in the frontcourt Thursday.

Johnson recorded his 29th double-double of the season as he helped the Hawks snap a four-game skid, and he joined Bob Pettit as the only players in franchise history with multiple games of 30-plus points, 15-plus rebounds and eight-plus assists. After a brief lull, Johnson has been hot over his last two outings, posting 20-plus points with double-digit rebounds in both. He'll look to keep the momentum going Friday versus Phoenix.

His five dimes marked his lowest since Nov. 7, but he still extended his streak of games with at least five assists to 27, the third-longest in the league this season. The star forward should continue to rack up the counting stats with star point guard Trae Young traded to the Wizards on Wednesday. Johnson has averaged 25.3 points, 9.9 rebounds, 8.5 assists, 0.8 steals and 0.7 blocks in 36.4 minutes per contest over his last 11 games.

Johnson saw his streak of games with a double-double or a triple-double snap at 12, but he still posted an impressive stat line while reaching the 30-point mark for the second time in his last three games. Johnson has scored at least 30 points seven times this season, and he should remain as the Hawks' go-to option on offense, even ahead of Trae Young.

Johnson notched 18 points (7-14 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-6 FT), 10 rebounds, 11 assists and two steals across 38 minutes in Friday's 111-99 win over the Knicks.
Johnson has been a triple-double machine this season, and by now, it seems he's a candidate to achieve this goal every time he steps on the hardwood. He has posted either a triple-double (six) or a double-double (nine) in each of his last 15 appearances, and unsurprisingly, he's averaging a triple-double over that stretch with 26.4 points, 11.3 rebounds and 10.1 assists per contest.

Johnson was at it again, recording his second straight triple-double and fourth of the season. He now surpasses Doc Rivers for the most triple-doubles in a single season in franchise history, a record that has stood since the 1987-88 season. Johnson continues to be the engine that powers the Hawks, averaging 23.4 points, 10.5 rebounds, 7.9 assists, 1.6 steals and 1.6 three-pointers through his first 22 regular-season games, which is good enough for top-10 value in standard fantasy leagues.

Hawks' Jalen Johnson: Getting shots up
Rotowire
Johnson, who's officially listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Nuggets due to right calf tightness, was spotted getting shots up following the Hawks' morning shootaround, Kevin Chouinard of the Hawks' official site reports.
Given the current state of calf injuries in the NBA, it wouldn't be surprising to see Atlanta exercise caution with its oft-injured forward, but Johnson appears to be trending in the right direction after missing Wednesday's loss to the Clippers, which was his third absence of the campaign. Over his last 11 appearances, Johnson has averaged 25.7 points, 11.2 rebounds, 8.9 assists and 1.7 steals in 37.0 minutes per game.
