Hawks' Onyeka Okongwu: Disappoints again Friday
Onyeka Okongwu closed with seven points (3-9 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six rebounds and one assist over 21 minutes during Friday's 136-122 loss to the Bulls.Okongwu scored fewer than 10 points for the third straight game, continuing his poor start to the season.

Hawks' Onyeka Okongwu: Double-doubles off bench Sunday
Onyeka Okongwu totaled 11 points (4-9 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 11 rebounds, three assists, two blocks and two steals over 28 minutes during Sunday's 114-110 loss to the Trail Blazers.It seems it'll only be a matter of time before Okongwu replaces Clint Capela in the starting lineup, but the former is outplaying the veteran even with a bench role. 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. Okongwu has posted back-to-back doubles and is averaging 10.8 points, 7.5 rebounds, 1.9 assists and a combined 1.8 steals-plus-blocks since the start of November.

Hawks' Onyeka Okongwu: Scores in double figures
Onyeka Okongwu posted 13 points (5-9 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 13 rebounds, two blocks and two steals across 26 minutes during Friday's 129-117 win over Washington.Okongwu has now scored in double digits in back-to-back contests, and his 13-rebound night resulted in his second double-double of the 2024-25 campaign. The big man continues to come off the bench but once again outlogged Clint Capela in minutes, 26 to 22. However, consistency has been an issue of late for Okongwu, who's been held to eight or fewer points in three of his last five games.

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.

Hawks' Onyeka Okongwu: Late addition to injury report
Onyeka Okongwu is questionable for Sunday's game against the Pelicans due to left big toe injury management, Kevin Chouinard of the Atlanta Hawks' official site reports.Sunday's game is the first half of a back-to-back set, so even if Okongwu plays against New Orleans, he may sit out Monday versus Boston. After exploding for 28 points, eight rebounds and three blocks in the regular-season opener, Okongwu has averaged 8.5 points, 4.5 rebounds and 0.3 blocks in his last four appearances. If Okongwu sits out, Larry Nance and Dominick Barlow would be candidates for increased roles behind Clint Capela.
