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.

Hawks' Kristaps Porzingis: Logs first double-double
Rotowire
Porzingis chipped in 15 points (5-11 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 5-7 FT), 12 rebounds, five assists and one block across 28 minutes during Sunday's 117-109 loss to Cleveland.
The star big man notched his first double-double of the season, though he was blanked from three-point range for the first time this year. With Trae Young (knee) out, Porzingis should have more playmaking responsibilities on his plate for the time being. Porzingis has averaged 18.2 points, 7.0 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 1.0 blocks in 25.4 minutes per contest over his first five games, but he's failed to reach the 30-minute mark in 2025-26.
Porzingis accumulated 27 points (11-17 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds and two assists over 26 minutes during Monday's 128-123 loss to the Bulls.
Porzingis was hot from the jump in this one, as he scored eight of Atlanta's first 10 points, and his ending tally of 27 points accounted for a season-high. Unfortunately, he didn't bring much else to the box score, and the Hawks ended up with another loss. Onyeka Okongwu returned to the bench with Porzingis active and finished with 18 points (8-11 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 0-4 FT), 10 rebounds, two assists, one steal and one block in the five-point loss.
