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: Elite thievery again Thursday
Rotowire
Daniels racked up 10 points (4-9 FG, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds, nine assists and three steals over 28 minutes during Thursday's 133-109 win over the Nets.
Daniels continued his breakout season, falling agonizingly short of his first triple-double. His three steals took him to 226 for the season, the most recorded by any player this century. Despite what has been a somewhat disappointing season for the Hawks, their future is bright. They have an intriguing young core featuring Trae Young, Onyeka Okongwu, Jalen Johnson, Zaccharie Risacher, and of course, Daniels.

Hawks' Dyson Daniels: Scores 12 points, swipes two steals
Rotowire
Daniels provided 12 points (5-8 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds, one assist, one block and two steals over 27 minutes during Saturday's 121-105 loss to the Knicks.
Daniels' final stat line wasn't eye-popping by any means, though the low totals in the scoring column were due to a lack of touches and not efficiency. He still found a way to fill the stat sheet and recorded multiple steals for the 56th time this season, so he still salvaged his fantasy line to a degree. Daniels is ending the campaign on a strong note and has scored in double digits in eight of his last 10 games, averaging 15.7 points, 7.2 rebounds, 4.9 assists, 3.2 steals and 0.6 blocks per game in that span.

Rotowire
Daniels ended with 22 points (10-15 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds, six assists and five steals over 34 minutes during Sunday's 145-124 victory over Milwaukee.
With five more steals Sunday, the third-year guard didn't just pad his NBA-leading total to 213 -- Shai Gilgeous-Alexander sits a distant second with 124. Daniels also set a new Hawks franchise record in the category, breaking Mookie Blaylock's mark of 212 set in 1993-94 (and which Blaylock tied exactly in two of the next three seasons.) Daniels has recorded multiple pilfers in 11 straight games, a stretch in which he's averaging 14.3 points, 7.0 boards, 5.7 assists, 3.6 steals and 1.0 threes while shooting 50.4 percent from the floor.

Rotowire
Daniels contributed 19 points (7-14 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds, 10 assists and four steals over 36 minutes during Tuesday's 121-114 loss to Houston.
Daniels finished just two boards shy of a triple-double, and as has been the trend all season long, he also made his presence felt on the defensive end with his elite hands and instincts. This was Daniels' ninth consecutive game with multiple swipes, but he's doing more than just contributing defensively of late. Over that nine-game stretch, Daniels is averaging 14.0 points, 6.7 rebounds, 6.0 assists and 3.7 steals per contest.

Daniels recorded his first double-double since Feb. 24, but the impact he makes on both ends of the court goes beyond what he can do in that category. He's scored in double digits in all but one of his 15 games since the All-Star break and is averaging a robust line of 14.5 points, 6.6 rebounds, 5.3 assists and an impressive 3.2 steals per game over that stretch. He's leading the league in steals by a wide margin and has recorded multiple swipes 14 times over that 15-game stretch.

Hawks' Dyson Daniels: Strong two-way showing in loss
Rotowire
Daniels supplied 18 points (8-10 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five rebounds, five assists and two steals over 33 minutes during Wednesday's 131-109 loss to Miami.
The Hawks suffered a 22-point loss in this matchup, but Daniels was one of the few Atlanta players who finished with a decent stat line, mainly due to his two-way contributions outside of his effective shooting. Despite not being known as a scorer, Daniels has posted double-digit points in each of his games in February, averaging 16.5 points, 6.8 rebounds, 5.2 assists and 3.0 steals per game since the beginning of the month.

Daniels nearly recorded his fifth double-double of the season while stuffing the stat sheet Thursday. The 21-year-old reached double-digit points for the eighth consecutive contest. However, he struggled from the field against Orlando and failed to hit a three-pointer for the third time across his last four outings. Daniels did tie the game-high mark in steals, and he has logged 29 outings with at least three swipes through 51 regular-season appearances.

Hawks' Dyson Daniels: Good to go Tuesday
Rotowire
Daniels (ankle) will be available for Tuesday's game against Houston.
Daniels has the green light to return after missing the first leg of this back-to-back set Monday against Minnesota. Trae Young (hamstring) also missed that game, but he's still on the injury report with a questionable tag. Daniels could see a ton of usage if Young is unable to return, as the Hawks are still without Jalen Johnson (shoulder).

Hawks' Dyson Daniels: Ruled out Monday
Rotowire
Daniels (ankle) has been ruled out for Monday's game against Minnesota, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
The swingman will sit out after he was a late addition to the injury report with left ankle soreness. The Hawks will be extremely short-handed with Daniels, Trae Young (hamstring), Jalen Johnson (shoulder) and Larry Nance (hand) all sidelined, meaning the club will have to rely heavily on its second unit to step up. Daniels' next chance to play will come in the second leg of the club's back-to-back set during Tuesday's matchup against Houston.

Hawks' Dyson Daniels: Monster night on both ends
Rotowire
Daniels put up 22 points (8-14 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 4-5 FT), eight rebounds, five assists and four steals in 37 minutes during Thursday's 122-119 loss to the Raptors.
The wing has been active defensively all season, but he's also found his groove on offense recently, averaging 18.6 points while shooting 56.9 percent from the field over his last five games. His offensive load has certainly benefitted from Zaccharie Risacher's (adductor) absence. Still, if he continues to impress, there's a chance that his value on defense will garner him further opportunity on both ends than the more one-sided Risacher, even once the latter returns. Daniels will look to stay hot in a rematch with the Raptors on Saturday.

Daniels is on a hot streak defensively, recording multiple steals in five straight games, though for someone averaging a league-high 3.1 steals, it's nothing too out of the ordinary. The rest of his game waxes and wanes, but he's still averaging a solid 12.4 points, 4.2 rebounds and 4.2 assists during this stretch.
