Zaccharie Risacher

Zaccharie Risacher has been traded to the Dallas Mavericks in a three team deal that sees Lu Dort and Ryan Nembhard go to Atlanta and three second round picks to OKC.

Fantasy Impact

The former No.1 overall pick has worn out his welcome in Atlanta, not living up to the expectations set for him even in a shallow 2024 draft class. He should have the chance to develop on a rebuilding Mavericks team led by Cooper Flagg. The Frenchman’s value is low right now, and that could give dynasty managers a buying opportunity.

Zaccharie Risacher led the Atlanta bench with 17 points (5-6 FG, 3-4 3PT, 4-5 FT) to help the Hawks to a 126-110 win over the Warriors on Saturday.

Fantasy Impact

Risacher has now reached double digits in four of ten games this month as he continues to adjust to his new sixth-man role. Over the last two games, Risacher has hit for 16 and 17 points, respectively, while shooting 11-of-14 from the field and 6-of-7 from deep. He is averaging 9.5 points, 4.9 rebounds, and 0.9 assists in 10 games this month.

Zaccharie Risacher finished with 19 points (6-12 FG, 3-5 3PT, 4-6 FT), nine rebounds, and two blocks in Thursday's win over the Nets.

Fantasy Impact

The red-hot Hawks, winners of eight in a row now, are certainly looking for more games like this from Risacher. The top-overall pick from 2024 has played exclusively off the bench in all five games so far this month, and seven of the last eight games. In that span, Risacher has averaged just 9.0 points, 5.4 rebounds, and 1.3 steals while shooting 45.0% from the field and 38.7% from deep.

Zaccharie Risacher is available for Thursday’s game against the Wizards.

Fantasy Impact

Risacher is good to go after being listed as questionable. He should remain in his usual role for the Hawks alongside Jonathan Kuminga, who is coming off making his team debut.

Fantasy Impact

Risacher logged over 28 minutes off the bench in Tuesday's win, totaling nine points and nine rebounds. If the second-year forward is unable to go in Thursday's rematch, Corey Kispert could see additional minutes.
