Johnson recorded 32 points (12-29 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 6-8 FT), 12 rebounds, 10 assists and three steals in Saturday's 129-124 loss to Indiana.
Johnson returned from a one-game absence after missing Thursday's game against the Rockets with a calf injury. He certainly seemed to be fine Saturday as he registered his eighth triple-double of the campaign. He remains on pace to return first-round fantasy numbers in nine-category formats in total value.

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.

Hawks' Jalen Johnson: Double-doubles in win
Rotowire
Johnson chipped in 32 points (10-21 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 10-11 FT), 15 rebounds, eight assists and one steal over 39 minutes during Wednesday's 124-122 victory over Memphis.
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.

Hawks' Jalen Johnson: Adds 19 points in win
Rotowire
Johnson supplied 19 points (9-18 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 1-3 FT), eight rebounds, five assists and one block in 36 minutes during Wednesday's 117-100 victory over the Pelicans.
Johnson didn't have his best statistical outing in the win, finishing with more turnovers (six) than assists for just the fourth time this season. 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.

Rotowire

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.

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.

Johnson recorded his second triple-double of the season, and the star forward continues to thrive both as a scorer and playmaker. He bounced back from the seven-point, seven-rebound, seven-assist performance in the loss to Washington on Tuesday, and he also kept his streak alive of consecutive games with at least seven assists. That streak is up to 10 outings, the longest active streak in the NBA.

Johnson saw the court for the least amount of time since Nov. 12, which was due to the insurmountable lead the Wizards built early on. He also did not shoot the ball well at all, recording his fifth game of the season without making a three-pointer. Johnson will look to bounce back offensively Friday against the Cavaliers.

Hawks' Jalen Johnson: Stuffs stat sheet in win
Rotowire
Johnson finished with 28 points (11-22 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 4-5 FT), 11 assists, eight rebounds and one steal in 40 minutes during Sunday's 113-110 win over the Hornets.
After finishing one assist shy of his second triple-double on the campaign in Saturday's win over the Pelicans, Johnson delivered another well-rounded performance Sunday. The 23-year-old forward led the Hawks in assists and has been impressive as a playmaker with Trae Young (knee) sidelined. Johnson also posted a game-high 28 points and has scored at least 24 in six of his last seven appearances. He has now recorded three straight double-doubles and continues to stuff the stat sheet for Atlanta.
