De'Andre Hunter

Already without Trae Young, Dyson Daniels, and Jalen Johnson, the Hawks are likely to be without one of their valued reserves. Bogdanovic, who missed time earlier this season with a lower left leg injury, is technically active, but the veteran wing is not expected to see action against the Timberwolves. If De'Andre Hunter is sitting on your league's waiver wire, add him. Monday's game is the first of two in as many nights for the Hawks, who will head home to host the Rockets on Tuesday.

Hunter is back after sitting out Saturday's loss to Toronto. His return likely means Garrison Mathews takes a hit in the minutes department, but Trae Young's absence may minimize the impact. Mathews should not be streamed in most fantasy leagues, even with Young inactive.

Hunter did not play in Saturday's loss to the Raptors, resulting in more minutes for fellow reserve Garrison Mathews. He can get hot when allowed to play extended minutes, but Mathews is difficult to trust in most fantasy leagues.

Daniels has played 41 of their 45 games this season, and this was his 10th with at least five steals. Only three times in NBA history has a played swiped at least five steals in 20 games, but Daniels could certainly join Don Buse and Alvin Robertson (2x) in achieving that feat. However, with Trae Young struggling and Jalen Johnson and De'Andre Hunter sidelined, Daniels was also able to step up on the offensive end in this game. Daniels has had the ball in his hands more recently, and that is a trend that should continue moving forward, with Johnson set to have more tests on his shoulder before they determine how long he'll be sidelined.

Hunter was a late addition to the injury report on Saturday, and this illness will keep him out of the lineup. He started the second half of Thursday's game after Jalen Johnson (shoulder) exited early, which means that a spot in the starting lineup will open up. That could be filled by Larry Nance Jr., though there will at least be extra minutes off the bench for Bogdan Bogdanovic and Garrison Mathews.
