Hawks' Onyeka Okongwu: Will miss at least one week
Onyeka Okongwu is dealing with left knee inflammation and will miss at least four games, NBA writer Marc Stein reports. The big man will be re-evaluated in approximately one week.Okongwu won't be available to face the Spurs, Grizzlies, Timberwolves and Bulls, and the earliest chance he'll have to return will come against the Heat on Saturday, Nov. 28. Okongwu has been outstanding in the tandem at center with Clint Capela, and he's been fairly valuable in fantasy despite not starting in any of his 25 appearances. He's averaging 11.3 points, 6.6 rebounds, 1.4 assists and a combined 1.4 steals-plus-blocks per game.

Okongwu logged 28 minutes compared to Capela's 20 in this contest, and the former remains a steady source of points and rebounds even if he's not featuring in the first unit.

Hawks' Onyeka Okongwu: Efficient despite loss Monday
Onyeka Okongwu produced 18 points (8-12 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 10 rebounds and two steals in 23 minutes during Monday's 123-93 loss to Boston.Okongwu continues to find ways to outplay Clint Capela on a steady basis, and at this point, it wouldn't be surprising if the former claims the starting role at center sooner rather than later. Okongwu is averaging 13.3 points, 6.0 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 0.7 blocks across 23.8 minutes per contest in his six outings to date, so fantasy managers should continue to trust him even if he continues to play off the bench for the time being.
