Fantasy Impact: Champagnie had a quiet night, finishing with two points (1-4 FG, 0-3 3PT) and three rebounds in 21 minutes. It’s unclear if he’ll be available for Saturday’s game against the Charlotte Hornets, but his status should be clarified in Friday’s San Antonio Spurs injury report.

Fantasy Impact: Okongwu did not return after sustaining a facial contusion, leaving the game immediately after shooting a free throw while bleeding from his mouth. Atlanta Hawks head coach Quin Snyder said he took quite a hit and was “pretty banged up,” adding that Okongwu is still handsome and, fortunately, his teeth can be repaired. He finished Wednesday’s game with 17 points (6-12 FG, 2-6 3PT, 3-4 FT), six rebounds, three assists, two steals and one block. It’s unclear if he will be available for Thursday’s game against the Houston Rockets.
