Top Dyson Daniels News

  • Hawks' Dyson Daniels: Solid numbers in Saturday's loss

    Daniels ended with 18 points (8-11 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), eight rebounds, three assists and one steal over 29 minutes before fouling out of Saturday's 121-114 loss to Houston.

    The fifth-year wing wasn't able to keep up his blistering defensive start to the season, but Daniels still put together a productive night. Through three games, Daniels is averaging 16.3 points, 7.0 boards, 4.3 steals and 3.3 assists over 29.0 minutes while shooting a scalding 61.8 percent from the floor.

  • Hawks' Dyson Daniels: Excellent all-around showing

    Daniels delivered 11 points (5-10 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-3 FT), nine rebounds, four assists, seven steals and a block across 23 minutes in Friday's 128-81 win over the Hornets.

    Daniels needed just 23 minutes to produce an outstanding defensive performance, with his seven steals providing an enormous fantasy boost, and a double-digit steals outing would've been within reach had he played more. His rebounding was equally encouraging, falling one board short of a double-double despite the reduced workload. While that level of steals production is unsustainable, Daniels' ability to generate defensive stats gives him considerable fantasy upside even when his scoring remains modest.

  • Hawks' Dyson Daniels: Dominates season opener

    Daniels closed with 20 points (8-13 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 4-6 FT), four rebounds, three assists and five steals in 35 minutes during Wednesday's 132-125 victory over the Magic.

    Daniels was in his bag to begin the season, getting it done on both ends of the floor. Coming off a strong showing during the 2025-26 season, Daniels will look to advance his game this year, particularly on the offensive end. Although he missed both of his three-point attempts, the fact that he attempted 13 shots was encouraging. He has a chance to lead the league in steals, which provides fantasy managers with a sense of reassurance when it comes to his overall value.

  • Hawks' Dyson Daniels: Cleared to play Friday

    Daniels (rest) will play in Friday's preseason finale against the Mavericks, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

    Daniels and most of Atlanta's regulars rested Monday against the Thunder but will return to action for the final exhibition. It's unclear how many minutes Daniels will play Friday, but he should be full go for the regular-season opener.

  • Hawks' Dyson Daniels: Won't play Monday

    Daniels (rest) has been ruled out for Monday's preseason game against the Thunder, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

    Daniels and most of Atlanta's regulars will rest during the Hawks' penultimate preseason contest. Daniels tallied 13 points (6-16 FG, 1-3 3Pt), 11 rebounds, an assist and a steal across 21 minutes in Thursday's 123-116 preseason win over the Spurs but struggled with his shot against the Pacers on Saturday.

  • Hawks' Dyson Daniels: Posts double-double in preseason win

    Daniels tallied 13 points (6-16 FG, 1-3 3Pt), 11 rebounds, an assist and a steal across 21 minutes in Thursday's 123-116 preseason win over the Spurs.

    Daniels was particularly active on the glass, collecting a game-high 11 rebounds, including six offensive boards, to secure a double-double despite an inefficient shooting performance. However, his ability to contribute without relying exclusively on scoring remains a significant part of his fantasy appeal. Daniels will open the season in a starting role in the Hawks' backcourt, where his three-point shooting, defensive contributions and elite rebounding ability will make him a valuable fantasy asset across most formats.

  • Hawks' Dyson Daniels: Quiet in preseason opener

    Daniels finished with six points (2-6 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 2-5 FT), four rebounds and two assists in 18 minutes during Monday's preseason loss to the Grizzlies.

    Daniels struggled from three-point range and the charity stripe before sitting out the second half along with most of Atlanta's starters. Despite the quiet opener, Daniels should continue filling a prominent two-way role for the Hawks this season.

  • Hawks' Dyson Daniels: Shot expected to improve

    Hawks president of basketball operations Onsi Saleh called Daniels "one of the most impactful players in the NBA" and an "all-world defender" while expressing confidence that his shooting will improve, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

    Daniels remained highly productive across the board in 2025-26, averaging 11.9 points, 6.8 rebounds, 5.9 assists and 2.0 steals in 33.2 minutes across 76 regular-season appearances, but he connected on just 18.8 percent of his 1.5 three-point attempts per game. Despite the lack of perimeter shooting, Daniels shot 51.7 percent overall and earned a spot on the All-Defensive Second Team. Atlanta's continued confidence in his offensive development is encouraging heading into 2026-27.

  • Hawks' Dyson Daniels: More competition for minutes

    Daniels may face increased competition for minutes in Atlanta's backcourt after the Hawks drafted Kingston Flemings with the No. 8 overall pick in the 2026 NBA Draft.

    Atlanta also brought in Aaron Wiggins via free agency, adding another player who will require minutes in the Hawks' backcourt. Daniels saw 46 percent of his minutes at the shooting guard position last season, but that number may dip with Wiggins and Flemings in the mix. Daniels' role will be worth monitoring throughout training camp and the preseason.

  • Hawks' Dyson Daniels: Ejected from Game 6

    Daniels was ejected from Thursday's Game 6 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs against the Knicks following an altercation, Kevin Chouinard of the Hawks' official site reports. He'll finish with three points (1-4 FG, 1-3 3Pt) and one steal in 15 minutes.

    Daniels and Mitchell Robinson got into a scuffle while lining up for a free-throw attempt, and it took players from each team to put an end to it. After the officials reviewed the play, Daniels and Robinson were both tossed from the matchup. Daniels' absence shouldn't have much of an impact on the outcome, as the Knicks owned a commanding 72-22 lead in the second quarter at the time of his ejection.
