Hawks' Onyeka Okongwu: Career-high four steals
Onyeka Okongwu put up 19 points (7-10 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 4-5 FT), eight rebounds, five assists, four steals and one block in 29 minutes of action during Saturday's 117-94 loss to the Raptors.He may have had a career night on defense, but that shouldn't overshadow Okongwu's solid overall performance by any means, as the big man contributed in every facet of the game despite the loss. The promising news for his fantasy managers is that Clint Capela made his return from injury, but it didn't affect Okongwu's volume whatsoever, as Capela saw just 14 minutes of action and took five shots off the bench. Okongwu is now averaging 15.3 points and 9.8 boards on 65.7 percent shooting as a starter. He'll look to stay hot Monday against the Timberwolves.

Hawks' Onyeka Okongwu: Double-double as starter
Onyeka Okongwu posted 19 points (6-8 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 7-8 FT), 12 boards, four assists, two steals and a block in 30 minutes of action during Thursday's 122-119 loss to the Raptors.The fifth-year big man logged his 10th double-double of the season in the narrow defeat. He's now averaging 14.0 points, 10.3 rebounds and 3.0 assists while shooting 64.0 percent from the field in three games as a starter this season. Although he had earned the starting job from Clint Capela (knee) prior to the latter's injury, Okongwu's volume and, with it, fantasy value, is benefitting nonetheless. Capela is currently considered day-to-day, but even when he comes back, Okongwu can be expected to retain the starting job barring any sudden dips in production.

Hawks' Onyeka Okongwu: Near double-double as starter
Onyeka Okongwu put up 14 points (7-10 FG, 0-1 3Pt), nine rebounds, two assists and two steals over 28 minutes of action in Monday's 119-110 loss to the Knicks.After logging a double-double in his last three games off the bench, Okongwu fell just short of that mark in his first outing as a starter this season. Given the fact that usual starter Clint Capela put together a similar stat line in reduced minutes with the second unit, there's a chance Okongwu's promotion isn't permanent. However, he's proven himself a fantasy option to keep an eye on nonetheless, particularly in deeper formats. His next chance to start will come Wednesday against the Pistons.
