Daniels logged 20 points (9-13 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 12 assists, five rebounds, two steals and two blocks over 34 minutes during the Hawks' 134-117 loss to the Raptors on Saturday.
Daniels recorded his fifth double-double of the season Saturday, and his 12 dimes were tied for his second most of the year. He also reached the 20-point threshold for the first time since Dec. 14, finishing as the Hawks' third-leading scorer behind Nickeil Alexander-Walker (31 points) and Jalen Johnson (30 points). Daniels has recorded at least seven assists in five straight games and will continue to serve as one of the Hawks' top distributors, especially in games for which Trae Young (quadriceps) doesn't play, as was the case Saturday.

Rotowire
Daniels won't play Tuesday against the Bulls with right hip inflammation.
This is a new injury for Daniels, and the severity is unclear. In his most recent outing Sunday against the Bulls, Daniels had eight points (3-9 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-4 FT), nine rebounds, nine assists and two steals across 39 minutes. Nickeil Alexander-Walker and Vit Krejci could see increased minutes Tuesday with Daniels out.

Rotowire
Daniels ended Sunday's 152-150 loss to the Bulls with eight points (3-9 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-4 FT), nine rebounds, nine assists and two steals across 39 minutes.

Hawks' Dyson Daniels: Double-doubles in win
Rotowire
Daniels supplied 27 points (13-19 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 0-2 FT), 10 rebounds, four assists, two blocks and one steal across 39 minutes during Sunday's 120-117 win over Philadelphia.
Daniels set a new season high in scoring in this one, as he notched his second straight double-double and helped Atlanta earn their seventh straight victory over Philadelphia. Daniels will look to keep the good times rolling Thursday with a favorable matchup against the Hornets, but his offensive usage could take a hit, as Trae Young (knee) is nearing a return to game action.

Hawks' Dyson Daniels: Nears double-double in win
Rotowire
Daniels chipped in 22 points (10-17 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), nine rebounds, six assists and two steals over 36 minutes during Sunday's 113-110 victory over the Hornets.
Daniels finished as Atlanta's third-leading scorer and was one of four Hawks players to reach the 20-point threshold. While he struggled from beyond the arc once again, the fourth-year guard knocked down a triple after shooting 0-for-11 from downtown in his previous eight appearances. He also led the team in rebounds and tied the game-high mark in steals, recording multiple swipes for the 14th time across 18 regular-season appearances.

Hawks' Dyson Daniels: Balanced stat line Thursday
Rotowire
Daniels contributed eight points (4-8 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 0-1 FT), six rebounds, five assists and three steals across 31 minutes during Thursday's 135-126 loss to the Spurs.
Daniels didn't have his best scoring output in this nine-point loss, as Nickeil Alexander-Walker and Jalen Johnson did that, but Daniels delivered solid numbers in other categories. As a defensive specialist, Daniels has enough talent to be a valuable fantasy option due to his ability to fill the stat sheet across all categories, even in games when his scoring output is limited.

Hawks' Dyson Daniels: Sniffs triple-double in win
Rotowire
Daniels supplied 11 points (5-6 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-1 FT), seven rebounds, 12 assists and three steals in 37 minutes during Sunday's 124-122 victory over the Suns.
Daniels' 12 assists were his second-best output of the season, and he allowed players like Jalen Johnson, Nickeil Alexander-Walker and Onyeka Okongwu to carry the scoring lead. Daniels made his presence felt on both ends of the court, as he also notched three steals and finished just three rebounds away from recording what would've been his first triple-double of the season.

Hawks' Dyson Daniels: Doesn't do much over 27 minutes
Rotowire
Daniels finished Thursday's 132-122 win over Utah with two points (1-2 FG), two rebounds, three assists and one steal in 27 minutes.
Daniels spent a lot of energy chasing around Lauri Markkanen on defense, and he was scoreless through the first half of action without a single shot attempt. He didn't even get his first shot up until the six-minute mark of the third quarter, and he managed to record only one steal. Look for Daniels to bounce back with a more productive stat line Sunday against the Suns.

Hawks' Dyson Daniels: Season-high eight assists
Rotowire
Daniels posted seven points (2-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds, eight assists, one block and two steals in 35 minutes during Friday's 109-97 loss to Toronto.
Daniels contributed a season-high eight assists, continuing to ramp up his production in the wake of the knee injury to Trae Young. He had also scored 18 points in each of the three contests prior to Friday, an indication that he will indeed be more involved offensively. Through nine games, he is averaging 9.8 points, 6.0 rebounds, 4.2 assists and 2.4 steals in 32.7 minutes per contest.

Hawks' Dyson Daniels: Well-rounded outing in victory
Rotowire
Daniels finished with 18 points (8-9 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six rebounds, six assists and two steals across 35 minutes in Tuesday's 127-112 win over the Magic.
After failing to reach double figures in each of Atlanta's first five outings, Daniels delivered an extremely efficient performance, marking his third consecutive game with 18 points. The 22-year-old guard also led the Hawks in assists and has dished out six in three of his last four appearances. He will likely continue to see an increased role on offense with Trae Young (knee) sidelined. Additionally, Daniels has impressed on the defensive end thus far, recording multiple steals in all but one of his eight regular-season games.

Hawks' Dyson Daniels: Starting to heat up
Rotowire
Daniels logged 18 points (8-12 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-4 FT), four rebounds, three assists, one block and four steals in 36 minutes during Sunday's 117-109 loss to the Cavaliers.
Daniels racked up a season-high four swipes, putting him up to 33 career regular-season games with at least four steals. The swingman had scored in single digits in five consecutive games to open the season, but he's posted 18 points in back-to-back contests now. On the year, Daniels has averaged 9.0 points, 5.7 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 2.6 steals in 32.0 minutes per game.

Hawks' Dyson Daniels: Well-rounded outing in win
Rotowire
Daniels racked up 18 points (8-13 FG, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds, six assists and three steals over 38 minutes during Friday's 128-108 win over the Pacers.
Daniels delivered his best offensive performance of the season after scoring single-digit points in the team's first five regular-season games. With Trae Young (knee) sidelined, Daniels also stepped up as a distributor. The 22-year-old is a consistent producer on the defensive end and has racked up multiple steals in five of six regular-season games, and he could continue to see more opportunities on the offensive end if Young misses significant time.

Hawks' Dyson Daniels: Tallies four defensive stats
Rotowire
Daniels finished with seven points (3-10 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, six assists, one block and three steals across 35 minutes during Wednesday's 117-112 win over Brooklyn.
Daniels had arguably his best game of the season, despite shooting just 3-for-10 from the field. Production aside, perhaps the biggest takeaway was the fact that Trae Young suffered a knee injury, which could send him to the sideline for a period of time. The effect here could be that Daniels is tasked with doing a little more on the offensive end, boosting his potential for scoring and assists.

Hawks' Dyson Daniels: Tacks three steals in loss
Rotowire
Daniels only scored two points (1-8 FG) but added seven rebounds, three steals and two assists across 34 minutes in Monday's 128-123 loss to Chicago.
Daniels hasn't eclipsed double digits in scoring to begin the season but has provided steady value on the defensive end, averaging 2.0 steals and 0.5 blocks. His efficiency from the field and the free-throw line is jarring (32.0 percent from the field, 50.0 percent from the free-throw line). In order for Daniels to be considered a top fantasy option that he was thought to be prior to the season, he has to improve in those areas.

Hawks' Dyson Daniels: Quiet in blowout defeat
Rotowire
Daniels totaled four points (2-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt), three rebounds, two assists and two steals in 23 minutes during Wednesday's 138-118 loss to the Raptors.
It was a relatively disappointing season debut for Daniels, who got into foul trouble with five infractions. The lopsided score also didn't help keep him on the floor, either. Daniels will likely end up settling in as a complementary scorer alongside Trae Young, Jalen Johnson and Kristaps Porzingis. However, Daniels still projects as an elite source of steals for fantasy managers.

Hawks' Dyson Daniels: Won't play Thursday
Rotowire
Daniels (rest) will not suit up for Thursday's preseason finale against the Rockets, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
Daniels will sit out Atlanta's final exhibition game, but he'll be fine for Opening Night on October 22. It'll be interesting to see if he can replicate the 3.0 steals per game he averaged last season, and if he can, he'll have no trouble flirting with top-15 value.

Hawks' Dyson Daniels: Fills up box score

Daniels finished Tuesday's 120-95 Play-In Game loss to the Magic with seven points (3-8 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 12 rebounds, seven assists and two blocks in 35 minutes.
Daniels wasn't able to record a steal after leading the league in that category during the regular season, but he was still a factor on the defensive side of the floor with two swats and a team-high 12 boards. The Hawks will need Daniels' defensive prowess in Friday's game to determine the eighth seed of the Eastern Conference, with Atlanta hosting the winner of Wednesday's Play-In Game between Chicago and Miami.

Hawks' Dyson Daniels: Could sit out against Orlando
Rotowire
Daniels is listed as questionable for Sunday's game versus the Magic due to rest purposes.
Daniels could sit out Sunday's regular-season finale due to Atlanta already being locked into the Play-In Tournament. If Daniels is downgraded to out, Vit Krejci, Terance Mann and Garrison Mathews are candidates to receive increased playing time.
