Risacher (ankle) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Thunder, Kevin Chouinard of the Hawks' official site reports.
The Scoop: Risacher will miss a second consecutive game due to an ankle injury. The team will likely turn to Nickeil Alexander-Walker to take Risacher's spot in the starting lineup, with Luke Kennard, Vit Krejci and Mouhamed Gueye potentially seeing more time on the floor off the bench.

Da Silva dropped 15 points (5-10 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), six rebounds, three assists and three steals across 24 minutes in Friday's 111-107 win over Atlanta.
The Scoop: Friday marked da Silva's second straight showing with at least 15 points and two three-pointers made. He has been one of Orlando's main contributors among the second unit, and will likely continue to operate as the team's sixth man if he keeps this level of production. If da Silva can provide value similar to the six rebound, three assist and three steal game he turned in Friday, in addition to being a scorer, fantasy managers should give serious consideration to rostering him.

Battle put up nine points (3-3 FG, 3-3 3Pt), two rebounds and a steal in 11 minutes during Friday's 122-116 loss to the Bucks.
The Scoop: Battle led all bench players in scoring and made all three of his three-point attempts. While this type of production should not be expected, Battle has shown he has the ability to score given the opportunity, and may continue to see playing time while Collin Murray-Boyles (forearm) is out.

Dick dropped five points (2-7 FG, 1-3 3Pt), four rebounds, an assist and a steal across 18 minutes in Friday's 122-116 loss to Milwaukee.
The Scoop: Dick was unable to follow up his stellar performance Wednesday against the Hawks. However, he led all bench players in minutes played and will continue in his role as the team's sixth man. Dick's next chance to make amends for his quiet showing will be Sunday against the Mavericks.

Holiday supplied 12 points (5-12 FG, 2-4 3Pt), five rebounds, 11 assists and one steal across 28 minutes during Friday's 139-119 win over Golden State.
The Scoop: The veteran point guard recorded his first double-double of the season in his second game as a Trail Blazer, while scoring 12-plus points in both contests. Having a steady hand like Holiday to run the show on the court could be key for Portland while the situation around head coach Chauncey Billups unfolds, but it remains to be seen how minutes will be divvied up in the backcourt once Scoot Henderson (hamstring) gets healthy.

Coffey missed his only field goal attempt and did not record a stat over three minutes in Friday's 122-116 win over Toronto.
The Scoop: It appears Coffey's playing time will hinge on game script, since he played 13 minutes against Washington, which entered blowout territory late in the second half. Depending on the severity of Kevin Porter's ankle injury, Coffey will likely only see meaningful playing time if other players in the rotation are unavailable.

Butler amassed 14 points (3-7 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 8-10 FT), three rebounds, four assists and one steal over 27 minutes during Friday's 139-119 loss to Portland.
The Scoop: After topping 20 points in each of his first two games this season, Butler has a much quieter performance Friday on the second night of a back-to-back. The 36-year-old forward is still averaging 22.0 points a game to begin his first full season in Golden State, and he's done an impressive job taking care of the ball, committing only two turnovers against 14 assists.

Jones (illness) recorded two points (1-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt), two rebounds and one assist across 14 minutes in Friday's 105-104 win over the Jazz.
The Scoop: Jones sat out Wednesday's season-opening four-point loss to the Suns while recovering from an illness, but the second-year big man received the green light for the second game of the campaign. With Keegan Murray (thumb) on the mend from surgery and with rookie first-round pick Nique Clifford (hamstring) also likely to be sidelined into November, Jones stepped in on the top unit but didn't handle starter-level minutes. Jones might see his playing time rise once he's further removed from the illness, though head coach Doug Christie could prefer to use a medley of players at power forward until one or both of Murray and Clifford return rather than relying heavily on Jones.
