Pours in 32 in Monday's loss
Alexander-Walker had 32 points (9-20 FG, 7-16 3Pt, 7-7 FT), six rebounds, six assists, one block and one steal in 39 minutes during Monday's 112-110 loss to the Bucks.
Analysis
The 27-year-old guard continues to have a breakout campaign, and the Hawks swapping Trae Young (knee) out for CJ McCollum in the backcourt has only solidified his elevated usage. Monday's 32 points were Alexander-Walker's best output since Nov. 30, when he dropped 34 on the 76ers, and it marked the sixth time he's delivered 30-plus points in 43 games. Through 10 contests in January, Alexander-Walker is averaging 21.8 points, 4.7 boards, 4.3 assists, 3.7 threes and 1.5 steals.

Strong campaign continues
Alexander-Walker posted 11 points (2-6 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 5-6 FT), six rebounds, seven assists and one steal over 29 minutes during Thursday's 117-101 loss to the Trail Blazers.
Analysis
Alexander-Walker is enjoying a successful first year in Atlanta so far, and he should continue to do so with Trae Young (knee) now out of the picture altogether. Over his last 10 contests, Alexander-Walker has averaged 20.9 points, 4.3 rebounds, 3.9 assists and 1.5 steals in 33.8 minutes per game.

Logs team-high 26 points in loss
Alexander-Walker ended Tuesday's 141-116 loss to the Lakers with 26 points (10-16 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds and three assists over 33 minutes.
Analysis
Alexander-Walker has found himself in a plum position as Atlanta's starting off-guard, but the newly acquired CJ McCollum is quickly getting familiar with the offense, scoring 25 points during Tuesday's loss. A switch to McCollum in the backcourt may be imminent, and the eventual move will hurt Alexander-Walker and Dyson Daniels. The production of both players warrants close attention, as one of them could be removed from the first unit in the impending scenario.
