3 years agoAtlanta Hawks shooting guard Lou Williams (hip) and power forward Danilo Gallinari (shoulder) have both earned questionable designations ahead of Thursday's season opener against Dallas. The Hawks boast terrific depth to begin the season, so holding the pair of veterans out wouldn't be a shocking decision; should that be the case, Kevin Huerter and Cam Reddish would likely nab added minutes and shots on the wing, while Solomon Hill could see extended frontcourt run. While Williams has had a tremendous run as a second unit scoring weapon, he saw just 21 minutes per game once being acquired by the Hawks down the stretch last year, severely capping his fantasy upside. In a similar ilk, Gallinari averaged just 13.3 PPG, primarily with the second unit, his lowest scoring average since 2014-15. Check back prior to tip-off to get the final word on the status of both men.--Jesse Borek
