Hawks' Dyson Daniels: Elite thievery again Thursday
Rotowire
Daniels racked up 10 points (4-9 FG, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds, nine assists and three steals over 28 minutes during Thursday's 133-109 win over the Nets.
Daniels continued his breakout season, falling agonizingly short of his first triple-double. His three steals took him to 226 for the season, the most recorded by any player this century. Despite what has been a somewhat disappointing season for the Hawks, their future is bright. They have an intriguing young core featuring Trae Young, Onyeka Okongwu, Jalen Johnson, Zaccharie Risacher, and of course, Daniels.
Daniels produced 15 points (7-12 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one steal over 34 minutes during Tuesday's 119-112 loss to the Magic.
Onyeka Okongwu and Trae Young led the way for the Hawks in this tight loss, but Daniels' contributions were also impressive from a fantasy perspective, as he filled the stat sheet admirably. That's been a common occurrence for him, though, with Daniels recording at least one tally in each of the five major categories in 33 different games this season. An absolute stud in category-based leagues, Daniels is averaging 15.0 points, 6.6 rebounds, 4.9 assists, 3.1 steals and 0.5 blocks per game since the All-Star break.
Hawks' Dyson Daniels: Scores 12 points, swipes two steals
Rotowire
Daniels provided 12 points (5-8 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds, one assist, one block and two steals over 27 minutes during Saturday's 121-105 loss to the Knicks.
Daniels' final stat line wasn't eye-popping by any means, though the low totals in the scoring column were due to a lack of touches and not efficiency. He still found a way to fill the stat sheet and recorded multiple steals for the 56th time this season, so he still salvaged his fantasy line to a degree. Daniels is ending the campaign on a strong note and has scored in double digits in eight of his last 10 games, averaging 15.7 points, 7.2 rebounds, 4.9 assists, 3.2 steals and 0.6 blocks per game in that span.

Rotowire
Daniels ended with 22 points (10-15 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds, six assists and five steals over 34 minutes during Sunday's 145-124 victory over Milwaukee.
With five more steals Sunday, the third-year guard didn't just pad his NBA-leading total to 213 -- Shai Gilgeous-Alexander sits a distant second with 124. Daniels also set a new Hawks franchise record in the category, breaking Mookie Blaylock's mark of 212 set in 1993-94 (and which Blaylock tied exactly in two of the next three seasons.) Daniels has recorded multiple pilfers in 11 straight games, a stretch in which he's averaging 14.3 points, 7.0 boards, 5.7 assists, 3.6 steals and 1.0 threes while shooting 50.4 percent from the floor.
Daniels finished with 19 points (7-14 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 10 assists, eight rebounds and four steals across 36 minutes during Tuesday's 121-114 loss to Houston.

Additionally, Daniels sank three three-pointers for just the fourth time on the season, and he has now made multiple triples in 21 of his 67 regular-season appearances.

Rotowire
Daniels contributed 19 points (7-14 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds, 10 assists and four steals over 36 minutes during Tuesday's 121-114 loss to Houston.
Daniels finished just two boards shy of a triple-double, and as has been the trend all season long, he also made his presence felt on the defensive end with his elite hands and instincts. This was Daniels' ninth consecutive game with multiple swipes, but he's doing more than just contributing defensively of late. Over that nine-game stretch, Daniels is averaging 14.0 points, 6.7 rebounds, 6.0 assists and 3.7 steals per contest.

Rotowire
Daniels had 12 points (5-9 FG, 2-5 3Pt), 11 rebounds, six assists and three steals in 35 minutes during Saturday's 124-115 victory over Golden State.
Daniels recorded his first double-double since Feb. 24, but the impact he makes on both ends of the court goes beyond what he can do in that category. He's scored in double digits in all but one of his 15 games since the All-Star break and is averaging a robust line of 14.5 points, 6.6 rebounds, 5.3 assists and an impressive 3.2 steals per game over that stretch. He's leading the league in steals by a wide margin and has recorded multiple swipes 14 times over that 15-game stretch.
