Fantasy Impact
Johnson continues an impactful stretch on both ends of the floor, dishing out seven or more assists, grabbing 12 or more rebounds, and scoring 21 or more points in each of his last four games. The forward offers fantasy managers one of the more reliable lineup options as part of an Atlanta starting five without Trae Young, averaging 23.1 points, 7.7 assists, and 10.4 rebounds per game to go along with a usage rate of 25.3% so far this season.

Fantasy Impact
Johnson is set to return from a one-game absence. Mouhamed Gueye should return to his reserve role.
Despite being listed as questionable for Friday's matchup against the Nuggets due to right calf tightness, Jalen Johnson was seen putting up shots following the team's morning shootaround. The forward is looking to bounce back after missing Wednesday's loss to the Clippers, which marked his third absence of the season.
Fantasy Impact
Although the Hawks may choose to exercise caution given the tricky nature of calf injuries, Johnson's participation in shooting drills suggests he is trending toward a return. He has been a dominant force over his last 11 appearances, averaging 25.7 points, 11.2 rebounds, 8.9 assists, and 1.7 steals in 37.0 minutes per contest.
Jalen Johnson (calf) is questionable to play in Friday night's game against the Denver Nuggets.
Fantasy Impact
Johnson was sidelined on Wednesday due to a calf injury that he recently suffered. He's questionable to play on Friday night for the same reason, and the team will make a decision about his availability closer to game time. Look for Zaccharie Risacher and Mouhamed Gueye to see more work if he is unable to play against the Nuggets.
