Hawks power forward Jalen Johnson ($9,000) has missed the last five games due to right shoulder inflammation. He could make his return on Saturday against the Boston Celtics as he’s now been upgraded to questionable.

Atlanta has gone smaller without Johnson, starting Vit Krejci ($4,700) at shooting guard while moving Dyson Daniels ($7,400) and Zaccharie Risacher ($4,300) up. Krejci would return to a reserve role if Johnson makes his return.

Johnson has leveled up in his fourth NBA season, averaging career-highs across the board with 19.8 points, 10.1 rebounds, 5.3 assists, 1.5 steals, and 1.1 blocks.
