Delaney delivered 11 points (3-6 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three rebounds, and one assist in 25 minutes during Monday's 110-104 win over the Heat.
EDGE Analysis
A couple nights after Delaney picked up his sixth DNP-Coach's Decision over an 11 game-stretch, he earned at least 20 minutes for the first time since Nov. 20. Delaney had seen 20-plus minutes in nine of the first 15 games this season for which he was healthy, and this was the first time he reached double figures in scoring since Nov. 15. Fellow backup point guard Isaiah Taylor has been fighting Delaney tooth and nail for the backup point guard minutes left over by Dennis Schroder.

Delaney (ankle) posted 10 points (4-7 FG, 2-4 3Pt), four rebounds, one assist, one steal and three turnovers across 23 minutes during Wednesday's 80-126 win over the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
With starting point guard Dennis Schroder playing just 25 minutes due to the overall blowout of the Kings, Delaney benefited off the bench and notched 23 minutes, marking his biggest workload over the last four games. While he certainly needs to take care of the ball better after turning the ball over seven times during the last three games, Delaney still provided a nice scoring spark with the second unit Wednesday. Delaney came into the game listed as probable with an ankle injury, but it shouldn't be an issue moving forward.

Delaney (ankle) is listed as probable for Wednesday's game against the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
Delaney has appeared in the Hawks' last four games after returning from an ankle injury, but he's been a mainstay on the injury report ever since. There is nothing to suggest that an injury is hampering Delaney as he continues to split the backup point guard role with Isaiah Taylor.

Delaney (ankle) has been cleared to play in Monday's game against the Pelicans, KL Chouinard of ATLand29.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Delaney came into Monday with a probable designation, so this was the expected course of action all along. He'll slot in behind Dennis Schroder at point guard and is expected to split the backup point guard workload with Isaiah Taylor. That should keep Delaney off the radar in the majority of fantasy leagues.

Delaney (ankle) is listed as probable for Monday's game against the Pelicans, KL Chouinard of ATLand29.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Delaney has been a regular on the injury report over the last two weeks and he did miss two games at the start of November because of a sprained ankle. However, he's taken part in each of the last three games and should do so again Monday after being given a probable designation. He'll have to battle for backup point guard minutes with Isaiah Taylor.

Delaney will play Saturday against the Wizards, Michael Cunningham of the Journal-Constitution reports.
EDGE Analysis
As anticipated, Delaney will be available for his normal workload despite carrying a probable designation earlier in the day. The Virginia Tech product has played in each of the Hawks' last two games, but missed two contests earlier in the month with an ankle injury.

Delaney (ankle) has been deemed probable for Saturday's game against the Wizards.
EDGE Analysis
Delaney has been listed on the injury report since returning from a two-game absence, but has suited up for the last two games. Assuming he avoids any setbacks prior to tip-off, he should take on his usual role backing up Dennis Schroder (ankle) at point guard.

Delaney (ankle) is probable for Friday's game against the Pistons, KL Chouinard of the Hawks' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Delaney, though dealing with a sprained right ankle, saw the floor in the team's most recent game against Boston, playing 28 minutes and posting 13 points, four rebounds, two steals and one assist. As his designation suggests, he's likely to play despite nursing an injury.

Delaney (ankle) will play in Monday's matchup with the Celtics, Brad Rowland of SB Nation reports.
EDGE Analysis
Delaney missed the last two games with a sprained right ankle, but after testing it during pregame warmups, it feels good enough to make a return to the court. Look for Delaney to jump back in as a reserve guard, likely battling Isaiah Taylor for minutes behind Dennis Schroder.
