Johnson notched 30 points (10-21 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 6-9 FT), seven rebounds and nine assists across 37 minutes in Saturday's 134-117 loss to the Raptors.
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.

Rotowire
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.

Hawks' Jalen Johnson: Absent from injury report
Rotowire
Johnson (illness) is off the injury report for Wednesday's game against Minnesota.
After sitting out Monday's loss to the Thunder with an illness, Johnson is seemingly feeling better and is set to play Wednesday. Vit Krejci will likely slide back to the bench as a result. Johnson has been on a tear of late, averaging 26.5 points, 11.5 rebounds, 10.3 assists and 1.1 steals in 37.4 minutes per contest over his last 13 appearances.

Hawks' Jalen Johnson: Comes close to triple-double again
Rotowire
Johnson supplied 20 points (7-16 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 5-6 FT), nine rebounds, 12 assists and two blocks over 37 minutes during Saturday's 128-125 loss to New York.
Johnson continues to step up his game even with Trae Young back in the mix, and it wouldn't be a stretch to say Johnson has been the Hawks' best player over the last few weeks. This was the fifth time in his previous six games in which Johnson ended just one rebound or one assist away from a triple-double. His ability to fill the stat sheet while producing in a prominent role on offense has made him a key player for the Hawks and an outstanding asset in most fantasy formats.

Rotowire
Johnson totaled 30 points (10-18 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 8-8 FT), 12 rebounds, 12 assists and two steals across 39 minutes during Saturday's 131-116 victory over the Wizards.
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.

Johnson (calf) is questionable for Friday's game against the Nuggets, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

Johnson (calf) won't play Wednesday against the Clippers, Kevin Chouinard of the Hawks' official site reports.
Johnson was a very late addition to the injury report with a questionable tag, only for the Hawks to rule him out for good a few minutes later. With Johnson sidelined, there could be more opportunities for Mouhamed Gueye, Zaccharie Risacher and Vit Krejci.

Johnson chipped in 29 points (9-18 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 8-12 FT), 12 rebounds, 12 assists and two steals over 39 minutes during Friday's 130-123 win over the Cavaliers.
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.

Hawks' Jalen Johnson: Limited output in loss
Rotowire
Johnson produced seven points (3-12 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), seven rebounds, seven assists, two blocks and one steal in 30 minutes during Tuesday's 132-113 loss to the Wizards.
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.

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.

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.

Another game, another instance of Johnson flirting with a triple-double while being a reliable fantasy option on both ends of the court. The forward has put up great numbers in 2025-26, stepping up as a reliable go-to threat in the absence of Trae Young (knee). Over his last five games, the star forward has averaged 26.2 points, 11.6 rebounds and 9.0 assists per game.

Johnson continued his run of stellar play Sunday, leading the team in rebounding while logging his third consecutive game with at least 20 points, 10 rebounds and seven assists.

Johnson set new career highs in points, assists, rebounds and steals, recorded his first triple-double of the season and became the first player in the NBA this season to produce a seven-steal, 30-point triple-double. He's been unconscious over the past two games, pumping out gaudy averages of 27.5 points, 14.0 rebounds, 11.0 assists, 3.0 triples and 4.0 steals per contest.

Johnson flirted with a triple-double Monday, finishing two assists shy while notching his third double-double of the season in a narrow victory. The Duke product entered the 2025-26 campaign with lofty expectations and has largely delivered, averaging 20.1 points, 8.6 rebounds, 5.2 assists and 1.3 steals through nine games. The lone blemish has been his outside shooting, as Johnson has connected on just 21.7 percent of his threes and made multiple triples in a game only once this season, though that hasn't hindered his overall production.

Hawks' Jalen Johnson: Available to play
Rotowire
Johnson (quad) will be available to play Monday against the Clippers, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
Johnson sat out the second leg of a back-to-back Saturday, but he'll be back in action Monday evening, which will likely shift Mouhamed Gueye back to the second unit. Johnson isn't expected to operate under a minutes restriction Monday, but the Hawks do have another back-to-back set during Week 4, so his availability will be worth monitoring ahead of Wednesday's game against the Kings and Thursday's game against the Jazz.
