Dyson Daniels

With Jalen Johnson (leg) as a late scratch, Quin Snyder will opt for more shooting in the starting lineup with Mathews. De'Andre Hunter and Larry Nance should be candidates for extra minutes off the bench, and Bogdan Bogdanovic's return adds another wrinkle to the rotation.

The historic run continues. Daniels now has at least six steals in four straight games, which is the second-longest streak in NBA history. Only Alvin Robertson has a longer streak. He had at least six steals in six straight games in 1986. If Daniels were to keep up this pace, he would tie the record in Sacramento on Monday and break it in Golden State on Wednesday. Their next game is against Portland, and they allow the fourth most steals in the league. The Kings are middle of the pack in that area, while the Warriors allow the third-fewest. Steals fluctuate often, so this will be a difficult streak to maintain. However, Daniels is dominating that category this season. It's a skewed number, but he has been a top-20 player in 9-cat leagues because of improvements across the board and historic steal numbers.

Daniels recorded 28 points (12-21 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 3-5 FT), seven assists, six steals and three rebounds in Tuesday's 117-116 win over the Celtics.

If opposing teams have not reached the point where they avoid handling/passing the ball around Daniels, they may get there soon. He's tallied at least six steals in three consecutive games, halfway to the record set by former NBA defensive great Alvin Robertson. Add in the scoring, and Daniels is emerging at a level similar to that of Jalen Johnson last season. Atlanta doesn't play again until Friday, but games against the Wizards and Trail Blazers (Sunday) could be massive for Daniels managers.

With Trae Young (Achilles) unavailable, Wallace will move into the starting point guard role. He's worth targeting in leagues where there's a need for assists and steals. The other four starters are unchanged.
