Coming off bench Monday
Niang is not in the Hawks' starting lineup against the Magic on Monday.
Analysis
Niang was inserted into the starting five for his Hawks debut against the Wizards on Saturday, and he finished with 16 points, six rebounds, three assists and three steals over 26 minutes in a 125-111 victory. However, Niang will serve in a reserve role Monday as Atlanta goes with Mouhamed Gueye in the starting lineup.

Immediate impact in team debut
Niang contributed 16 points (6-10 FG, 4-7 3Pt), six rebounds, three assists and three steals over 26 minutes during Saturday's 125-111 victory over Washington.
Analysis
Making his Hawks debut, Niang was immediately thrust into the starting lineup and recorded a season-high three steals. The 31-year-old operated strictly as a reserve for the Cavaliers, as evidenced by his one start this season prior to Saturday. Still, it appears initially as though Atlanta has a significant role in mind for Niang at power forward in the void of Jalen Johnson (shoulder). That said, Niang is worth a speculative add in deep fantasy leagues until his role becomes solidified.

Starting in debut
Niang will start Saturday's game against the Wizards, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
Analysis
Niang will start at power forward during his Hawks debut after operating nearly exclusively off the bench for Cleveland -- he made one start across 51 appearances. When Niang has played at least 25 minutes this season (12 times), he's averaged 13.6 points, 5.3 rebounds and 1.3 assists per game.

Set to play Saturday
Niang (trade pending) is available for Saturday's game versus the Wizards, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
Analysis
Niang is set to make his debut for the Hawks on Saturday after being traded from the Cavaliers on Thursday. Niang will likely compete for minutes at power forward with Dominick Barlow.

Won't debut Friday
Niang (trade pending) is out for Friday's game versus the Bucks.
Analysis
Niang has been downgraded from questionable to out Friday as the trade sending him from Cleveland to Atlanta is still being finalized. However, GM Lary Fields hopes to have Niang on the road trip that begins Saturday against Washington, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

Questionable due to pending trade
Niang (recently traded) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Bucks.
Analysis
Niang will look to make his Hawks debut on Friday, though his next chance to feature will come Saturday against Washington if one day proves to be too quick of a turnaround. The forward played fairly significant minutes for Cleveland before the trade, and over his last 10 outings, he averaged 9.6 points and 3.7 rebounds across 22.6 minutes per contest.

Shipped to Atlanta
The Cavaliers traded Niang and Caris LeVert, along with draft picks, to the Hawks on Thursday in exchange for De'Andre Hunter, ESPN's Shams Charania reports.
Analysis
Niang was in the midst of a solid season for the Cavaliers, producing averages of 8.7 points, 3.7 rebounds and 1.3 assists while shooting 40.0 percent from beyond the arc. He could have a similar role in Atlanta, as the franchise will not have Jalen Johnson (shoulder) for the remainder of the season. The Hawks may not be done making moves.
