Zaccharie Risacher

The Hawks announced Friday that Risacher (thigh) will miss Atlanta's next two games.

Not only has Risacher been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Celtics, but he'll also miss Monday's game against the Knicks. Hawks team doctors will reevaluate the rookie after that game. Atlanta has four games in Week 13, including a mid-week back-to-back. Risacher's absence boosts De'Andre Hunter's fantasy value despite his coming off the bench.

Saturday's game will be Risacher's second straight on the sidelines. He was also held out of Wednesday's win over the Bulls. David Roddy replaced him in the starting lineup but offered minimal streaming value in that role. Fantasy managers would be better served to target De'Andre Hunter, who is probable to play on Saturday.

Risacher (adductor) is out for Saturday's game against the Celtics, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

In addition to Jalen Johnson, the Hawks are without Trae Young and Zaccharie Risacher. Krejci will remain in the starting lineup, while Wallace and Roddy have replaced Young and Risacher. Given Atlanta's lack of options, Krejci is worth streaming, as is Garrison Mathews (despite coming off the bench).
