Luke Kennard Ruled Out Friday Against the Raptors
Atlanta Hawks guard Luke Kennard (illness) will not play Friday night after being downgraded from questionable to out for Friday's home game against Toronto. Kennard has averaged 25.3 minutes per game off the bench for Atlanta this season, chipping in 8.5 points, 2.1 rebounds, 2.0 assists, and 1.3 three-pointers per game. With Trae Young (knee) out as well, Nickeil Alexander-Walker, Keaton Wallace, and Vit Krejci will have lots of work to do. Alexander-Walker has scored at least 16 points in seven straight games and is taking on more work while Young is out, and since he's so busy, Kennard's work will likely go to Wallace, who missed Sunday's game with an illness but returned with four points, three rebounds, and two assists in 11 minutes on Tuesday. His multi-category potential makes him an intriguing streaming or DFS bargain play with Kennard out.
