Rotowire
Porzingis (illness) is questionable for Friday's game versus the Nuggets, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
Porzingis has missed the past four games due to an illness, but it appears he's finally feeling better and could get out there Friday night. He'll likely be a game-time call, but if he can play, Onyeka Okongwu would head back to the second unit and Mouhamed Gueye's minutes would dip.

Rotowire
Porzingis (illness) is questionable for Friday's game against the Cavaliers.
Porzingis was a very late addition to the injury report, presumably after waking up under the weather. If Porzingis can't go, Onyeka Okongwu would likely have a higher floor in fantasy, and Mouhamed Gueye could pick up some backup center minutes for Atlanta.

Hawks' Kristaps Porzingis: Team-high 22 points in loss
Rotowire
Porzingis tallied 22 points (7-13 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 6-7 FT), eight rebounds and one assist over 22 minutes during the Hawks' 132-113 loss to the Wizards on Tuesday.
Porzingis returned from a one-game absence Tuesday due to rest purposes, and he led the Hawks in scoring while finishing second in rebounds behind Dyson Daniels (nine). Porzingis has missed seven of Atlanta's first 19 games of the regular season, but he has been an important contributor for the Hawks when he's played, particularly in the prolonged absence of Trae Young (knee). In eight games since Nov. 2, Porzingis has averaged 18.5 points, 6.0 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 1.9 blocks over 27.1 minutes per game, though he's connected on just 27.8 percent of his three-pointers on 4.5 3PA/G over that span.

Hawks' Kristaps Porzingis: Resting Sunday
Rotowire
Porzingis (rest) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Hornets, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
Porzingis will sit out the second half of the Hawks' weekend back-to-back for rest. The big man recently dealt with a knee injury and hasn't played in a back-to-back this season, so his absence is no surprise. If Onyeka Okongwu (ankle) is available, he'll likely draw the start in Porzingis' place.

Hawks' Kristaps Porzingis: Explodes for 30 points in win
Rotowire
Porzingis ended with 30 points (11-17 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 6-7 FT), seven rebounds, four assists and three blocks across 33 minutes during Saturday's 115-98 win over the Pelicans.
The 30-point mark was a season-high output for Porzingis. Even though two games are not enough of a sample size to draw meaningful conclusions, he's shot 18-for-27 from the field and 4-for-9 from three-point range in his two appearances since returning from a three-game absence due to a knee injury. Porzingis should be a must-start player in all formats as long as he's healthy, but given that he's already missed six games in 2025-26, that's far from a certainty.

Hawks' Kristaps Porzingis: Scores 16 points in return
Rotowire
Porzingis amassed 16 points (7-10 FG, 2-3 3Pt), five rebounds, one assist and two blocks in 29 minutes during Thursday's 135-126 loss to San Antonio.
Porzingis snapped a three-game absence Thursday and delivered a solid stat line across the board. He ended just one minute away from 30 -- he's reached that plateau only once this season. Porzingis is a reliable option to score in double digits and should be valuable in fantasy as long as he stays healthy.

Porzingis has been productive when available, averaging 17.3 points, 5.7 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 1.6 blocks, but he has yet to play more than 30 minutes in a game this season, suggesting Atlanta may be monitoring his workload.
