Onyeka Okongwu Fantasy Stats

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.

Atlanta Hawks center Onyeka Okongwu led the team in scoring on Thursday as they beat the Utah Jazz 132-122. The big man registered 32 points, 11 rebounds, two assists, two steals, and three blocks while shooting 11-for-18 overall and 8-for-14 from deep. He moved into the starting lineup for this game which was his fourth start of the season. In his time as a starter this season, he averages 18.0 points, 8.8 rebounds, and 3.3 assists per game while collecting over two blocks per contest too. He's currently a great choice in any fantasy format, but especially for managers looking for some added three-point production from the center spot.

Atlanta Hawks center Onyeka Okongwu (rest) will return to the lineup for Tuesday's play-in game against the Orlando Magic. When Atlanta concluded its regular-season schedule on Sunday against the Magic, Okongwu was kept off the floor for rest purposes. However, his name has not been included on the injury report for Tuesday's game. Okongwu enjoyed a big finish to the regular season and will have a massive role to play again on Tuesday, with Clint Capela (hand) remaining on the sidelines. Over three prior meetings with the Magic this season, Okongwu has averaged 16.7 points and 9.3 rebounds.

Atlanta Hawks center Onyeka Okongwu (face) is questionable for Thursday's contest against Phoenix. He has sustained a facial contusion and may have to exit the lineup just five games after returning from a knee injury. Clint Capela will need to be a bit extra if Okongwu misses time, with Dominick Barlow getting a chance to operate as the backup center. Thursday's matchup should be productive for Atlanta's centers, as only 10 teams give up more fantasy points to opposing fives than the Suns.

Atlanta Hawks forward Onyeka Okongwu (knee) remains out for Saturday's meeting with the Miami Heat. He'll now miss his fifth consecutive contest because of left knee inflammation, so it's anyone's guess when he will be healthy enough to return. With Bogdan Bogdanovic (leg) and Dyson Daniels (illness) also sidelined, the Hawks will need to go deeper into the bench, meaning De'Andre Hunter, who scored 25 points on Thursday versus the Bulls, and Larry Nance Jr. could continue to benefit from a production standpoint.

Atlanta Hawks center Onyeka Okongwu (knee) will remain out of the lineup on Thursday against Chicago. The talented big man has battled inflammation in his left knee lately and will miss a fourth consecutive game. Larry Nance Jr. has entered the rotation in Okongwu's absence, posting impressive numbers. Working as Clint Capela's backup, Nance Jr. has averaged 11.3 points, 9.0 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 1.3 steals, and 2.3 blocks across the past three games. The Hawks big men should get plenty of work done on Thursday against a team that gives up the seventh-most fantasy points in the league to opposing centers.

Atlanta Hawks forward Onyeka Okongwu (knee) will miss at least four games due to left knee inflammation. He will be re-evaluated in a week. The 24-year-old is currently having the best season of his career, averaging 11.3 points and 6.6 rebounds. But while he's sidelined, Larry Nance Jr. could see some minutes at the five spot. However, Nance has some work to do to gain the trust of fantasy managers, although he's worth considering for rosters if he can make good use of his time on the court.
