Alexander-Walker dominated the offense with Jalen Johnson (calf) sidelined, and while he didn't have his most efficient outing, he still managed to extend his career-best streak of games with 20-plus points to four.

Hawks' Nickeil Alexander-Walker: Scores 34 points in double-OT win
Alexander-Walker contributed 34 points (11-22 FG, 6-11 3Pt, 6-6 FT), eight rebounds, seven assists, one block and one steal across 44 minutes during Sunday's 142-134 double-overtime win over the 76ers.
Alexander-Walker is going through a prolific stretch and has recorded at least 30 points for the third time over his last six games. He's also achieved that mark in back-to-back games for the first time in 2025-26. Alexander-Walker has been an excellent backcourt partner for Dyson Daniels in the absence of Trae Young (knee), and his numbers suggest he should remain a regular starter across all formats until further notice. Alexander-Walker averaged 21.5 points, 3.6 rebounds, 3.9 assists and a combined 1.5 steals-plus-blocks per game in November while shooting 40.9 percent from three-point range.

Hawks' Nickeil Alexander-Walker: Team-high 30 points in win
Alexander-Walker ended with 30 points (10-22 FG, 5-13 3Pt, 5-5 FT), three rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal in 35 minutes during Friday's 130-123 win over the Cavaliers.
It was another strong shooting night for Alexander-Walker, who led the Hawks in scoring Friday thanks in large part to his five three-pointers, his most in a game since Nov. 20 against the Spurs (eight). The seventh-year pro's career-high average in scoring prior to the 2025-26 regular season was 11.0 points per game during the 2020-21 campaign with the Pelicans, but he has taken on a greater scoring role in his first year with the Hawks. Over his last nine outings, Alexander-Walker has averaged 21.0 points, 3.8 assists, 3.7 rebounds, 2.9 threes, 1.0 blocks and 0.8 steals over 33.3 minutes per game.

However, he was able to regain offensive momentum Sunday. Alexander-Walker has been key to Atlanta, especially with the absence of Trae Young (knee), as he averages 20.7 points, 3.4 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 0.7 steals, 0.9 blocks and 2.4 threes across 32.8 minutes in his last 11 starts.

Alexander-Walker is averaging 18.8 points, 2.7 rebounds and 3.6 assists per game when deployed in a starting role, a trend that will continue as long as Young remains out.
