David Roddy is expected to play a crucial role for the Hawks in the absence of Jalen Johnson. He demonstrated his potential by going 3-for-3 from deep and scoring 11 points in a previous game. If he can replicate that offensive output while maintaining defensive integrity, it could significantly enhance Atlanta's chances against the Rockets.

David Roddy is included in a proposed trade deal, highlighting his potential as a young player with upside. His inclusion suggests the Nets are looking to add youthful talent as they transition, while also indicating that the Hawks may be willing to part with him to address their immediate needs.

David Roddy was listed as questionable due to an illness but has been cleared to play in tonight's game against the Knicks.

David Roddy stepped into the starting lineup for the Hawks due to Dyson Daniels' injury and showcased solid offensive value despite some defensive liabilities. He played 32 minutes, finishing with 17 points, four rebounds, one assist, two steals, and one 3-pointer. With multiple injuries affecting the Hawks' perimeter players, Roddy's role is likely to expand, making him a player to watch for fantasy managers looking for potential contributions.

David Roddy's contract option was not exercised by the Hawks, making him a free agent at the end of the season. This decision comes despite the team's focus on retaining other players, as Roddy's role appears to have diminished compared to the contributions of Dyson Daniels and Kobe Bufkin.
