Okongwu finally showed signs of life after a disappointing start to the season, providing fantasy managers with a sense of relief. Through four games, Okongwu has averaged 9.3 points, 6.0 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 1.3 combined steals and blocks in 26.5 minutes per contest. Monday's game saw him record season-high marks in points, rebounds, steals and blocks. He will look to continue his turnaround when Atlanta hosts Miami on Wednesday.

Okongwu contributed eight points (3-8 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds and seven assists in 29 minutes during Wednesday's 132-125 win over Orlando. Okongwu struggled with his perimeter shot but made up for his modest scoring output by leading Atlanta in assists. The starting center's playmaking was encouraging, though he failed to record a defensive statistic.
