   Alexander-Walker finished with 20 points (7-17 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 4-5 FT), three rebounds and one assist across 31 minutes in Saturday's 124-121 win over Brooklyn.

   Alexander-Walker hit the 20-point mark for the fourth consecutive contest. He didn't shoot the ball well. However, the 28-year-old continues to exceed preseason expectations. While the return of Jalen Johnson (ankle) after a three-game absence could cause Alexander-Walker's production to decline somewhat, the latter is still on track for a career year, assuming he continues to play at an All-Star level.

   Alexander-Walker finished with 28 points (7-20 FG, 4-12 3Pt, 10-10 FT), two rebounds, two assists and two steals across 33 minutes in Friday's 139-132 win over the Wizards.

   Jalen Johnson (ankle) was sidelined once again Friday, so the Hawks received increased contributions from several players on the roster. However, it was Alexander-Walker who ended the night with a team-high figure in scoring to lead Atlanta to its third consecutive victory. With Johnson missing the last three regular-season games, Alexander-Walker has stepped up, averaging 29.3 points, 3.3 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 2.0 steals while shooting 46.3 percent from deep over 32.4 minutes per contest during that span. Although Alexander-Walker should cool off at some point, he has an excellent opportunity to stay more productive than usual if Johnson misses more time.

   Alexander-Walker ended with 26 points (9-20 FG, 6-14 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds and two assists across 32 minutes in Wednesday's 120-105 win over the Wizards.

   Alexander-Walker had another fantastic performance Wednesday, tying Anthony Davis for the game high in points. With Jalen Johnson (ankle) sidelined for the Hawks' last two contests, Alexander-Walker has turned things up, averaging 30.0 points, 4.0 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 2.0 steals while shooting 51.7 percent from deep over 31.9 minutes per outing during that span. The 28-year-old is having the best season of his career, and he could stay more productive than usual if Johnson misses more time moving forward.

   Alexander-Walker finished with 34 points (12-25 FG, 9-15 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds, four assists and four steals in 31 minutes during Monday's 108-104 win over Indiana.

   Alexander-Walker stepped up against a shorthanded Indiana squad, as he turned in his best scoring performance of the young campaign. He was dialed in from downtown, where he added 27 of his 34 points just a few nights after going 0-for-7 from deep. The 28-year-old also led the Hawks with four steals on the opposite end. Alexander-Walker has now put up 20-plus points in four of his first eight games of the 2026-27 season.

   Alexander-Walker racked up 12 points (3-12 FG, 0-7 3Pt, 6-6 FT), two rebounds, one assist and one steal across 29 minutes during Saturday's 121-99 loss to New Orleans.

   Alexander-Walker struggled from the floor Saturday, with seven of his nine field-goal misses coming from beyond the arc, and it was the first time this season that he failed to connect on a three-point attempt. Jalen Johnson did not play in the fourth quarter due to a left ankle injury, and if he misses time, Alexander-Walker would see a sharp increase in his production floor. Alexander-Walker is averaging 19.3 points, 3.1 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 3.1 threes and 1.3 steals over 30.1 minutes per game this season.
