Onyeka Okongwu Fantasy Stats

Atlanta Hawks center Onyeka Okongwu (mouth) is available to play ahead of Saturday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. Okongwu is back after missing the last four games due to having a dental procedure. His return to the court should shift Jock Landale back to the second unit. This season, Okongwu is averaging 16.3 points, 7.9 rebounds, and 3.3 assists across 32.0 minutes per game. He has been one of the best big men in the league and should be started in all fantasy formats. Fantasy managers should double-check their lineups and get Okongwu in there ahead of tip-off.

Atlanta Hawks forward/center Onyeka Okongwu (mouth) won't play on Thursday versus Utah, marking his fourth consecutive absence. He was listed as questionable throughout the day, so it looks like he might be back on Saturday against the Charlotte Hornets. In the meantime, Jock Landale could find himself in the starting lineup after recently being traded from Memphis. With that said, regardless of Landale's role, he has double-double upside in a meeting with one of the worst teams in the NBA.

Atlanta Hawks center Onyeka Okongwu (mouth) won't play on Tuesday against Miami. The 25-year-old took an elbow to the mouth during the 117-106 loss to the Boston Celtics on January 28, costing him the following two contests. With Kristaps Porzingis (Achilles) questionable, his return may help lessen the blow. However, even if Porzingis sheds the questionable tag, Mouhamed Gueye, who had 15 points, four boards, three steals, and one block in the loss to Indiana on Saturday, should continue to hold a prominent role.

Atlanta Hawks forward/center Onyeka Okongwu (mouth) is being evaluated on a day-to-day basis after undergoing a dental procedure and has already been ruled out for Thursday against Houston, with Saturday's game in Indiana also off the table. His next chance to return comes Tuesday in Miami. Atlanta unexpectedly turned to Christian Koloko as a starter, and he logged 26 minutes with six points, seven rebounds, one steal, and one block, while Mouhamed Gueye played 21 minutes off the bench with two points, three rebounds, and two assists. Both Koloko and Gueye remain difficult to trust, given the small sample and fluctuating roles, keeping Okongwu as the clear hold.

Atlanta Hawks center Onyeka Okongwu (dental) left Wednesday's win in Boston early with what was called a facial contusion but has now been updated to a dental fracture, which will keep him out of Thursday's game against the Rockets. Okongwu has averaged 16.3 points, 7.9 rebounds, 3.3 assists, and 32 minutes per game in his 47 contests this season. It is unclear if this issue will cause him to miss any further time, but for as long as he's out, Christian Koloko and Mouhamed Gueye will be in line for expanded playing time at center. Both have streaming and DFS bargain upside, with Gueye showcasing a high ceiling in an expanded role earlier this season.

According to Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network, Atlanta Hawks forward/center Onyeka Okongwu (illness) won't suit up against the New Orleans Pelicans on Wednesday. The 25-year-old big man will miss the game due to an illness. His next chance to get back on the floor will come on Friday against the Nuggets. Okumgwu has played in 37 games this season, posting averages of 16.2 points, 7.8 rebounds, 3.2 assists, 1.1 steals, and 1.0 blocks across 37 appearances. With Okongwu sidelined this evening, Mouhamed Gueye will likely take extra minutes.

Atlanta Hawks forward/center Onyeka Okongwu (ankle) will return from a one-game absence on Sunday against the Charlotte Hornets. Initially, the team listed Okongwu as questionable for the contest after he missed Saturday's win against the New Orleans Pelicans with an ankle issue. With no Kristaps Porzingis (knee) in the Hawks lineup on Sunday, Okongwu is poised to make his seventh start of the season. He has boosted his numbers to 20.0 points and 6.7 rebounds per game in a starting role this season, posting two double-doubles.

Atlanta Hawks forward/center Onyeka Okongwu (ankle) is questionable for Saturday's game in New Orleans. Okongwu has averaged 16.0 points, 7.4 rebounds, and 2.7 assists across 29 minutes, and he posted 15 points, seven rebounds, and five assists in his most recent game. Managers should be ready if he sits, as he has been steady across his last five games, highlighted by a 32-point outing. If he doesn't suit up, Kristaps Porzingis absorbs most of the interior workload while Mouhamed Gueye becomes a deeper-league streaming option. Vit Krejci and Luke Kennard also gain marginal stability with Atlanta already missing Trae Young (knee). Okongwu remains a hold in standard formats given his consistent playing time and production.

According to Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network, Atlanta Hawks forward/center Onyeka Okongwu (knee) is set to suit up for Tuesday's contest against the Detroit Pistons. With big man Kristaps Porzingis (knee) sidelined, Okongwu provides the Hawks' frontcourt an excellent option, as he's posted averages of 15.7 points, 7.9 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 1.1 blocks and 0.9 steals in 29.4 minutes per contest through 14 games so far this season. Fantasy managers should expect plenty of production from Okongwu with extra minutes on the floor this evening.

Atlanta Hawks forward/center Onyeka Okongwu (knee) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's tilt against the Detroit Pistons. He may have to exit the lineup for the first time this season due to a right knee contusion. In the past two games, Okongwu has produced big performances as Kristaps Porzingis' (knee) replacement in the starting lineup. Porzingis is also on the injury report with a questionable tag for Tuesday's game. If neither player is healthy enough to play, Mouhamed Gueye would get a massive workload against the Pistons.
