Johnson continues to roll as a first-round fantasy player in the early stages of the campaign. Over four appearances to this point, the star forward has averaged 21.5 points, 9.8 rebounds, 8.5 assists and 1.8 steals in 32.5 minutes per game.

Rotowire
Johnson contributed 26 points (8-19 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 8-10 FT), 16 assists, nine rebounds and two steals across 38 minutes in Saturday's 121-114 loss to the Rockets.
After providing a full stat line in Friday's win over Charlotte, Johnson stuffed the stat sheet once again in the second half of this back-to-back set. The star forward recorded game highs in scoring and assists, dishing out a career-high-tying 16 dimes. The 24-year-old also led the Hawks in rebounds.

Hawks' Jalen Johnson: Loaded stat line Friday
Rotowire
Johnson posted 19 points (9-16 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), seven rebounds, eight assists, three steals and a block across 29 minutes in Friday's 128-81 win over the Hornets.
The Hawks looked dominant on both ends of the court and cruised to a 47-point victory -- and Johnson finished just two dimes and three boards shy of a triple-double despite playing under 30 minutes. Johnson also made his presence felt defensively with four steals-plus-blocks combined. It's only been two games, but Johnson is off to an excellent start in 2026-27 with 39 points, 21 rebounds, and 14 assists in his first two contests.

Hawks' Jalen Johnson: Double-doubles in win
Rotowire
Johnson tallied 20 points (5-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 9-11 FT), 14 rebounds, three assists, one steal and one block over 25 minutes in Friday's 135-111 preseason win over the Mavericks.
This was Johnson's second double-double of the preseason, and he appears primed for another big year as the main man in Atlanta. The 24-year-old forward earned his first All-Star selection last season with averages of 22.5 points, 10.3 rebounds, 7.9 assists, 1.7 triples and 1.2 steals per game on 49/35/79 shooting splits.

Hawks' Jalen Johnson: Will rest Monday
Rotowire
Johnson (rest) won't play in Monday's preseason game against the Thunder, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
Johnson and most of Atlanta's regulars won't suit up for the penultimate preseason contest. Johnson tallied 20 points (8-12 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 2-3 FT), seven rebounds and three assists over 25 minutes in Saturday's 119-117 preseason win over the Pacers.

Rotowire
Johnson tallied 20 points (8-12 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 2-3 FT), seven rebounds and three assists over 25 minutes in Saturday's 119-117 preseason win over the Pacers.
Johnson got his points efficiently, did a nice job attacking the glass and finished with a plus-8 differential in the win. He was a top-20 player last season with averages of 22.5 points, 10.3 rebounds, 7.9 dimes, 1.7 triples and 1.2 steals per game, and he should be even better as he enters his age-25 season.

Hawks' Jalen Johnson: Bright spot in loss
Rotowire
Johnson registered 21 points (7-15 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 5-5 FT), eight rebounds, six assists and one block over 32 minutes during Thursday's 140-89 loss to New York in Game 6 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.
Johnson was a bright spot for the Hawks in their season-ending loss, while no other player on the roster eclipsed 11 points. The Hawks committed to the young star as their franchise player by trading away Trae Young, and Johnson put together a sensational breakout season. Across 72 regular-season contests, he compiled averages of 22.5 points, 10.3 rebounds, 7.9 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.7 three-pointers in 35.2 minutes per game.

Hawks' Jalen Johnson: Stuffs stat sheet in defeat
Rotowire
Johnson finished Tuesday's 126-97 loss to the Knicks in Game 5 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs with 18 points (7-15 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 10 rebounds, six assists and two steals across 35 minutes.
Johnson struggled from three-point range Tuesday and is now shooting just 26.9 percent from downtown through five first-round games. Still, the star forward led Atlanta in points, rebounds, assists and steals after a lackluster Game 4 in which he had just 14 points, five assists and three rebounds. Johnson and the Hawks will turn their focus to Thursday's Game 6, when they'll look to stave off elimination at home.

Hawks' Onyeka Okongwu: Chips in 19 points in loss
Rotowire
Okongwu finished Saturday's 113-102 loss to the Knicks in Game 1 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs with 19 points (6-9 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and one block over 37 minutes.
Okongwu scored 12 of his 19 points in the first half of Saturday's game and finished as the Hawks' third-leading scorer behind CJ McCollum (26 points) and Jalen Johnson (23 points). Okongwu enjoyed a career year in his sixth NBA regular season, though he saw his production dip over his last 19 games from March 1, when he averaged 13.1 points, 6.9 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 1.2 steals, 1.2 blocks and 1.8 threes over 29.8 minutes. The Hawks will need more output from the 2020 first-rounder to help alleviate the pressure for Johnson, McCollum and Nickeil Alexander-Walker.

Johnson recorded 12 points (4-16 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 11 rebounds, six assists and one steal over 34 minutes before fouling out of Wednesday's 122-116 loss to the Cavaliers.
This was a rare off night for Johnson, yet he managed to record his 49th double-double of the campaign. With 71 games played, Johnson is on pace to return second-round value in nine-category formats with 22.6 points, 10.3 rebounds, 7.9 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.7 three-pointers in 35.3 minutes per contest.

For the 46th time this season, Johnson recorded another double-double and just missed out on what would've been his 14th triple-double.

Johnson will miss his second consecutive game after being diagnosed with left shoulder inflammation.

Hawks' Jalen Johnson: Sidelined Saturday
Rotowire
Johnson (shoulder) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Warriors.
Johnson will miss his first game of the month due to left shoulder inflammation, snapping a consistent run of elite production. The versatile forward has been a triple-double threat every time he takes the floor, falling just one assist shy of his 14th triple-double of the season in Wednesday's win over Dallas. With Johnson sidelined, Jonathan Kuminga is the primary candidate to enter the starting lineup and should see a significant increase in usage.

Johnson got hot during the fourth quarter, scoring nine of his 21 points on 3-for-5 shooting, and he finished with a team-best plus-12 differential.

Hawks' Jalen Johnson: Puts up 20 in easy win
Rotowire
Johnson supplied 20 points (7-17 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 5-7 FT), five rebounds, nine assists and two steals across 34 minutes during Wednesday's 131-113 win over the Bucks.
To illustrate how good Johnson has been this season, this was his third consecutive game without a double-double, which is his longest streak without achieving that feat since the start of the campaign, as he opened the 2025-26 season without a double-double until his fifth outing. It was also his fourth straight without a triple-double, and he hadn't gone four games without one since late January. Johnson's numbers might be a bit down compared to November or December, but he remains the absolute focal point of the Hawks' offensive scheme.

Hawks' Jalen Johnson: Questionable for Thursday
Rotowire
Johnson (hip) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Wizards, Lauren L. Williams of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
Johnson injured his hip during Tuesday's win over the Wizards, which resulted in more minutes for Zaccharie Risacher and Jonathan Kuminga. We'll have a better idea on Johnson's status based on his activity level at Thursday's shootaround, but if he's held out of that game, Kuminga would make for an attractive target in daily fantasy leagues.
