Hawks' Dyson Daniels: Chips in 18 points in return
Rotowire
Daniels logged 18 points (8-11 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 0-1 FT), five assists, five rebounds and two steals over 38 minutes during the Hawks' 112-102 win over the Celtics on Monday.
Daniels was back in action following a one-game absence due to a toe injury, but that issue didn't appear to impact his play during Monday's win. He extended his streak of two-plus steals to three games and was efficient with his limited shots, finishing as the Hawks' third-leading scorer behind Onyeka Okongwu and Jalen Johnson (20 points each). Daniels has averaged 16.0 points, 7.2 rebounds, 4.8 assists, 1.6 threes and 2.2 steals over 33.8 minutes across his last five games.

Hawks' Dyson Daniels: Not playing Saturday
Rotowire
Daniels (toe) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Kings, Kevin Chouinard of the Hawks' official site reports.
Daniels popped up on Saturday's injury report due to a left great toe sprain, and the injury is severe enough for the fourth-year pro to miss his fifth game of the season. In his absence, the Hawks will likely turn to Corey Kispert or Zaccharie Risacher to move into the starting lineup. Daniels' next opportunity to play is Monday against Boston.

Hawks' Dyson Daniels: Dishes out 11 dimes
Rotowire
Daniels accumulated 13 points (6-9 FG, 1-3 3Pt), four rebounds, 11 assists, one block and five steals across 33 minutes during Thursday's 126-96 victory over Washington.
Daniels dished out double-digit assists for the sixth time this season on the way to a rare double-double for the 22-year-old. It was reassuring to see him score in double figures for the first time in a week, though he's proven on a nightly basis that he's able to contribute in other categories even when his shot isn't falling.

Hawks' Dyson Daniels: All-around effort in win
Rotowire
Daniels ended with seven points (3-8 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 10 rebounds, eight assists and three steals across 33 minutes in Sunday's 115-104 victory over the Nets.
Daniels didn't reach double figures as a scorer, but he contributed double-digit rebounds while posting game highs in assists and steals in a win. Although his scoring output has dipped this season -- he entered Sunday averaging 11.5 points across 55 games after posting 14.1 points in 76 regular-season contests last year -- this performance highlights the value the young guard provides beyond putting the ball in the basket.

Hawks' Dyson Daniels: Modest production continues
Rotowire
Daniels closed Saturday's 126-119 loss to the Hornets with 11 points (5-13 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-1 FT), six rebounds, three assists and two steals in 31 minutes.
Daniels continues to struggle on the offensive end, appearing more passive than usual. He has scored no more than 11 points in five straight games, a worrying trend for fantasy managers. While scoring is certainly not one of his strengths, it does seem as though he is more hesitant than usual, often not even looking at the basket despite being in a scoring position. His peripheral production, as always, is enough to buoy his fantasy value to the point that he continues to put up top 80 numbers despite averaging just 10.5 points per game in 14 appearances over the past month.
Daniels ended Tuesday's 127-115 victory over Miami with two points (1-4 FG), one rebound, five assists and one steal across 22 minutes.
Daniels continues to offer very little on the offensive end of the court, scoring in single digits for the fifth time in the past seven games. While his peripheral contributions have been adequate, he appears to have lost some of his confidence when it comes to scoring the basketball. His reluctance to want to score is certainly impacting his fantasy value, as he has been barely a top-80 player in seven games over the past two weeks.

Rotowire
Daniels registered eight points (4-7 FG), seven rebounds, seven assists and two steals in 29 minutes during Saturday's 129-124 loss to Indiana.
Daniels was a little quiet on the offensive end but once again salvaged his night with an across-the-board performance. He has now recorded at least seven assists in six of the past seven games, while also adding 14 steals and 48 rebounds during that span. While he is better suited to punt-points builds, he is doing more than enough to be rostered across all formats.

Rotowire
Daniels closed with 22 points (10-15 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five rebounds, nine assists, one block and one steal over 35 minutes during Monday's 132-116 victory over the Pacers.
It was Daniels' best scoring effort since Dec. 14, when he erupted for 27 points against the 76ers. The fourth-year guard has seen his offense take a step back from his breakout 2024-25 campaign, particularly from three-point range, but through 12 games in January, Daniels is averaging 12.6 points, 7.3 assists, 7.1 boards and 1.5 steals per game.
