Malcolm Delaney Daily Fantasy News, Rankings, Projections

Collins has been listed as questionable on the Atlanta Hawks' injury report for Friday's game against the Golden State Warriors due to a sprained right ankle that has already forced him to miss two consecutive games. Meanwhile, Malcolm Delaney will remain sidelined for the ninth straight game because of a sprained left ankle. Mike Muscala has started at power forward the last two contests and has averaged 26 minutes per game, making him the leading candidate to continue starting if Collins is eventually ruled out closer to tipoff. With Dennis Schroder set to return from a one-game absence due to rest purposes and Delaney unavailable, Isaiah Taylor will head back to the bench to resume a reserve role after logging 26 minutes and easily exceeding salary-based expectations in Thursday's loss. Additionally, Damion Lee officially signed a second 10-day contract earlier this afternoon and figures to start his third consecutive game at shooting guard.

Delaney has officially been listed as probable on the Atlanta Hawks' injury report for tonight's game against the Boston Celtics with a sprained right ankle that had forced him to miss two consecutive games. The Hawks also listed Dennis Schroder and Marco Belinelli as probable with their respective ailments but have done so before every game for an extended period of time, so we should fully expect them to play without any limitations until further notice. Delaney will presumably reclaim his normal backup point guard role behind Schroder, but with Mike Muscala, Ersan Ilyasova, DeAndre Bembry, and Miles Plumlee all still sidelined, the Hawks have a significant minute void to fill at power forward, which looks likely to be filled by Luke Babbitt once again, who saw an unthinkable 42 minutes of action in Sunday's contest.

Delaney will travel with the team but is considered as questionable on the Atlanta Hawks' injury report for tomorrow's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers with a sprained right ankle that has already forced him to miss one game. Should Delaney be unavailable, Isaiah Taylor would likely assume the backup point guard duties once again behind Dennis Schroder and played 25 minutes in Friday's contest. Meanwhile, Dennis Schroder should also see a slight increase in playing time, despite his lackluster performance in the previous game, which would add to his appeal in daily fantasy formats on Friday's slate.

Delaney has officially been listed as doubtful on the Atlanta Hawks' injury report for tomorrow's game against the Houston Rockets with a sprained right ankle he sustained during Wednesday's contest, forcing him to exit early. Meanwhile, the trio of Dennis Schroder, Mike Muscala, and Marco Belinelli have all been listed as probable with their respective ailments for approximately the 18th game in a row (not actually accurate) and all three are fully expected to play once again. With Delaney likely out, Isaiah Taylor would likely assume the backup point guard duties behind Dennis Schroder, who may also see a slight increase in playing time, adding to his appeal in daily fantasy formats on Friday's slate.

All these guys played last game outside Malcolm Delaney, who has missed the last four contests. Millsap and Bazemore came off the bench and they could possibly do the same tomorrow. Even if Millsap does, he'll cut into Ersan Ilyasova's minutes, which takes away his value. Howard had some big games when Millsap was on the sidelines, but his upside is lower with him back and he sees a slight downtick in usage and average fantasy production.
