Daniels contributed 16 points (7-15 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-4 FT), eight rebounds, three assists and six steals in 36 minutes during Saturday's 125-113 loss to the Bulls.

EDGE Analysis

This was the third consecutive game in which Daniels recorded four or more steals, and he can get the job as an offensive weapon as well. Daniels is not known for his scoring prowess, but he's making the most of his minutes in the first unit. He's now recorded double-digit points in six of nine outings in 2024-25, and his fantasy upside continues to grow with each passing game. He seems to complement Trae Young extremely well in the backcourt.

Daniels amassed 18 points (7-17 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, two assists, two blocks and seven steals in 38 minutes during Friday's 122-121 loss to the Pistons.

EDGE Analysis

Daniels has recorded an eye-popping 11 total steals over his last two contests after collecting a season-high seven steals Friday night. His scoring production was an added bonus, as he tied his best mark of the year. The 21-year-old is averaging 12.0 points, 3.8 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 3.3 steals over his last four appearances.

Daniels posted six points (3-16 FG, 0-4 3Pt), five rebounds, two assists, one block and four steals over 37 minutes during Wednesday's 121-116 win over New York.

EDGE Analysis

Daniels had a rough night shooting the ball. However, fantasy managers have to remain pleased with his defensive contributions. Daniels has at least one steal in every game thus far and is averaging 2.4 steals and 0.7 blocks in his 30.7 minutes. Inconsistent offense may persist throughout the campaign, as that's the weak point of his game, but he's still someone who should be rostered in the vast majority of season-long fantasy leagues.

Daniels ended with 16 points (7-10 FG, 2-5 3Pt), five rebounds, three assists and one steal across 25 minutes during Sunday's 126-111 win over the Pelicans.

EDGE Analysis

Daniels returned after a brief two-game absence due to a right hip flexor strain, and the 21-year-old continues to enjoy a solid start to the campaign, as he's firmly entrenched as the Hawks' starting shooting guard with Bogdan Bogdanovic (hamstring) sidelined for the time being. Daniels has scored in double digits in four of his five appearances, putting up a solid line of 13.4 points, 4.4 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 2.4 steals per game. His ability to make an impact on both ends of the court has given the Hawks quite a boost in their backcourt.

Daniels (hip) is available and starting in Sunday's game against the Pelicans, Lauren L. Williams of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

EDGE Analysis

Daniels missed two consecutive games due to a right hip flexor strain, though he is expected to play through the injury on the first day of a back-to-back set Sunday. The 21-year-old has seen an uptick in playing time in his first season with Atlanta, during which he has averaged 12.8 points, 4.3 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 2.8 steals and 1.0 blocks across 32.5 minutes per game in four regular-season appearances thus far.

Daniels (hip) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Pelicans, Lauren L. Williams of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

EDGE Analysis

Daniels has missed two straight games due to a right hip strain but has a chance to return Sunday. With so many injuries to Atlanta's backcourt, Daniels has a clear path to heavy minutes when cleared to suit up again, and he was off to a strong start before the injury, especially defensively. Through four appearances, he's averaged 12.8 points, 4.3 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 2.8 steals and 1.0 blocks in 32.3 minutes per game.

Daniels (hip) is out for Friday's game versus the Kings.

EDGE Analysis

Daniels will miss his second straight contest Friday while dealing with a right hip strain. David Roddy, Keaton Wallace and Zaccharie Risacher should continue to receive increased playing time in his absence. Daniels' next chance to suit up is Sunday's matchup with New Orleans.

Daniels (hip) had his 2025-26 team option picked up by Atlanta on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Daniels has stepped in as an impactful defender in Atlanta's rotation after being acquired from New Orleans in the offseason. The 2025-26 campaign will mark the final year of his rookie contract.

Daniels won't play Wednesday against the Wizards due to a right hip flexor strain, Kevin Chouinard of the Hawks' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Daniels has broken out through the first four games of the season, averaging 12.8 points, 4.3 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 2.8 steals and 1.0 blocks in 32.3 minutes per game. It's unclear when he suffered the injury, but the Hawks will be extremely shorthanded Wednesday, as Bogdan Bogdanovic (hamstring) and Vit Krejci (thigh) remain out, while De'Andre Hunter (knee) is questionable. Daniels is considered day-to-day, and his next chance to suit up will come Friday versus the Kings.

Daniels logged 11 points (4-9 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, one assist and three steals over 36 minutes during Monday's 121-119 loss to the Wizards.

EDGE Analysis

Daniels has been a low-usage offensive player for the Hawks, but his defense has been excellent. He's recorded at least one steal in each of his first four games, averaging 2.8 swipes in his 32.5 minutes. He's also blocking 1.0 shots per game. As the No. 8 pick in the 2022 NBA Draft, Daniels was known for his defense, so these types of performances should continue.
