Eligibility
Availability
Onyeka Okongwu (illness) will be good to go for Friday's game against the Denver Nuggets.
Fantasy Impact
The big man is going to be good to go for Friday night's game, despite missing Atlanta's last game due to an illness that he was recovering from. Now that he's healthy, he should continue to see a full workload and be a good fantasy asset for the foreseeable future.
Onyeka Okongwu was ruled out for Wednesday’s game against the Pelicans.
Fantasy Impact
Okongwu will be sidelined due to an illness. Kristaps Porziņģis should start at center for the Hawks.
Onyeka Okongwu has been added to the injury report as questionable for Wednesday's matchup with the Pelicans due to an illness, appearing very late on Atlanta's availability update. The timing suggests the center woke up feeling under the weather Wednesday morning.
Fantasy Impact
Should Okongwu be unable to play, the Hawks will need to increase the workload for Kristaps Porzingis and Mouhamed Gueye in the frontcourt rotation. His status will likely come down to a game-time decision based on how he feels leading up to tipoff.
Onyeka Okongwu scored 23 points (9-16 FG, 3-6 3PT, 2-4 FT) to go with nine rebounds, three steals, and two blocks in Friday's win over the Knicks.
Fantasy Impact
Okongwu tied for the team lead in points Friday night, continuing his strong play over the past week. In the Hawks' last four games, Okongwu has eclipsed 20 points three times, averaging 24.3 points, 11.3 boards, and 3.5 assists overall.
Onyeka Okongwu flirted with a triple-double for the Hawks Monday night, grabbing 14 rebounds, dishing out six assists, and scoring 26 points (8-16 FG, 3-6 3PT, 7-8 FT) while also recording one steal in a 140-129 loss to the Thunder.
Fantasy Impact
Okongwu continues a steady stretch on both ends of the floor, grabbing seven or more rebounds and chipping in 10 or more points in each of his last five games. The 25-year-old continues to offer head coach Quin Snyder one of the more stable options as part of an inconsistent Atlanta starting five, averaging 16.4 points and 7.8 rebounds per game while posting a usage rate of 19.9% so far this season.
