Atlanta Hawks guard Nickeil Alexander-Walker poured in 32 points (9-20 FG, 7-16 3Pt, 7-7 FT), adding six rebounds, six assists, one block, and one steal in 39 minutes during Monday's 112-110 loss to the Bucks. This marks his best scoring output since November 30th and his sixth 30-plus point game in 43 appearances this season. The 27-year-old continues his breakout campaign, averaging 21.8 points, 4.7 boards, 4.3 assists, 3.7 threes, and 1.5 steals through 10 January contests, benefiting from elevated usage after the Hawks swapped Trae Young (knee) for CJ McCollum.
