Georges Niang came off the Atlanta bench to produce 20 points (8-of-15 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), four rebounds, four assists, two steals and two three-pointers in 26 minutes in Friday’s loss to the Heat.
Niang put together another strong outing on Friday to add to his recent stretch of good performances. Including Atlanta’s play-in tournament loss to the Magic, Friday’s double-digit outing marked the fourth consecutive for the nine-year forward out of Iowa State. Niang settled in nicely and found a role with the Hawks after being traded from the Cavaliers earlier this season. He’ll likely be a deep-league option in fantasy leagues next season.
Georges Niang (rest) and Caris LeVert (knee) have ben ruled out for Sunday’s game against the Magic.
Niang and LeVert have bolstered their numbers since joining Atlanta and both had solid performances against 76ers. Vit Krejci and Garrison Matthews can absorb some of LeVert’s minutes while Dominick Barlow has a chance to snag some backup power forward minutes.
Georges Niang (rest) and Caris LeVert (knee) are questionable for Sunday’s game against the Magic.
The Hawks already know their playoff seed and play-in tournament matchup, as they’ll visit the Magic early next week. Niang and LeVert are among the rotation players listed as questionable for Sunday. If they don’t play, the Hawks will likely give Terance Mann and Vit Krejci additional minutes, to name two players absent from the initial injury report.
George Niang played 25 minutes in Saturday’s loss to the Knicks, recording 13 points (5-of-16 FGs), four rebounds, one assist and three three-pointers.
