Hawks' Onyeka Okongwu: To miss at least two games
The Hawks are considering Okongwu day-to-day after he underwent a successful dental procedure Thursday morning.
Okongwu has already been ruled out for Thursday night's matchup against the Rockets, but this bodes well for his future availability. That said, the Hawks are taking a slightly cautious approach and will hold out the big man at least for Saturday's tilt in Indiana as well, per Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network. Okongwu's next chance to play now comes Tuesday in Miami.

Hawks' Onyeka Okongwu: Ruled out Thursday
Okongwu (face) will not play Thursday against Houston.
Okongwu left Wednesday's game early with a facial contusion, which has since been updated to a dental fracture. It remains to be seen if this will also sideline him Saturday against the Pacers. In the meantime, it will be interesting to see how much the Hawks utilize Christian Koloko and Mouhamed Gueye at center.

Hawks' Onyeka Okongwu: Headed to locker room
Okongwu (teeth) exited to the locker room during Wednesday's game against the Celtics, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
Okongwu got popped in the mouth by Jaylen Brown as the latter was making a move to the hoop, and Okongwu had a couple of teeth pushed back. He'll likely need some dental work and should be considered questionable to return.

Hawks' Onyeka Okongwu: Won't return Wednesday
Okongwu won't return to Wednesday's game against the Celtics due to a facial contusion, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
The Hawks are calling Okongwu's injury a facial contusion, but he's got some busted teeth as well after taking an elbow to the face from Jaylen Brown. Okongwu will end his evening with 17 points (6-12 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT), six rebounds, three assists, two steals, one block and two turnovers across 29 minutes, and for now, he should be considered questionable for Thursday's game versus the Rockets.

Hawks' Onyeka Okongwu: Double-double in win over Indiana
Okongwu logged 12 points (5-13 FG, 2-6 3Pt), 10 rebounds, two assists and one block in 31 minutes during Monday's 132-116 win over the Pacers.
The 25-year-old center produced his 11th double-double of the season and his first since Jan. 11. Okongwu has struggled to make a consistent impact on the glass in January, pulling down double-digit boards just four times in 12 games, and on the month he's averaging 15.8 points, 8.3 rebounds, 3.6 assists, 2.3 threes, 1.8 steals and 0.8 blocks.

Hawks' Onyeka Okongwu: Paces Atlanta in win
Okongwu finished Friday's 110-103 win over the Suns with 25 points (9-15 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five rebounds, five assists and two steals in 36 minutes.
Okongwu turned in another efficient performance en route to a team-high 25 points, and he knocked down at least three triples for the fourth time in his last five outings. After finishing with four points on 0-of-6 shooting from the field in Monday's loss to Milwaukee, the big man has totaled 43 points while shooting 60.0 percent from the field over his last two games. He has reached the 20-point mark in two of his last five appearances, during which he has averaged 18.8 points, 8.0 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 1.8 steals in 33.6 minutes per game.

Hawks' Onyeka Okongwu: Scores 18 points with three stocks
Okongwu accumulated 18 points (6-10 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 2-3 FT), nine rebounds, one assist, two blocks and one steal in 28 minutes before fouling out of Wednesday's 124-122 victory over the Grizzlies.
Aside from the season-high seven turnovers, this was a nice bounce-back performance for Okongwu, who was held to just four points while missing all six of his shot attempts his last time out. The 25-year-old center is hitting career highs in points (16.1), assists (3.3), triples (2.0) and steals (1.2) this season, which has him providing third-round fantasy value on the year.

Hawks' Onyeka Okongwu: Struggles on offense
Okongwu notched four points (0-6 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 10 rebounds, four assists, one block and two steals in 34 minutes during Monday's 112-110 loss to the Bucks.
Okongwu had a disastrous showing on the offensive end, but he salvaged his fantasy line with some solid production in boards and defensive stats. Despite this dud, he's been very steady as a fantasy asset this season. Across 43 regular-season appearances, he's on pace for third-round value in nine-category formats with 16.1 points, 7.9 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.0 blocks.

Hawks' Onyeka Okongwu: Tallies 26 points in loss
Okongwu collected 26 points (10-21 FG, 5-15 3Pt, 1-1 FT), nine rebounds, two assists, three steals and one block in 37 minutes during Thursday's 117-101 loss to the Trail Blazers.
Okongwu wasn't afraid to let it fly, and while he didn't have the greatest night from beyond the arc, he led Atlanta in points, made threes and steals. The USC product also fell just one rebound shy of a double-double as he continues to make his presence felt on the glass. This was an improved performance out of Okongwu, who was held to seven points on 3-for-8 from the field in his previous showing Tuesday against the Lakers.

Hawks' Onyeka Okongwu: Flirts with triple-double in win
Okongwu posted 18 points (6-14 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 12 rebounds, eight assists and two steals across 34 minutes during Sunday's 124-111 victory over Golden State.
Okongwu filled the stat sheet Sunday with a double-double and fell two assists shy of his first career triple-double, though the eight dimes still marked a career high. Long praised for his interior presence, the 25-year-old has taken a noticeable step forward offensively this season, averaging 16.3 points and 3.4 assists through 39 games (28 starts) after posting 13.4 points and 2.3 assists across 74 regular-season contests last year. While prolific scoring may never be his calling card, Okongwu's expanded offensive impact has been a welcome development for Atlanta.

Hawks' Onyeka Okongwu: Not listed on injury report
Okongwu (illness) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Friday's game in Denver.
Okongwu missed Wednesday's win over the Pelicans with an illness, but he'll get back out there Friday night, which should shift Mouhamed Gueye back to the second unit. Asa Newell could drop from the rotation entirely with Okongwu active.

Hawks' Onyeka Okongwu: Won't play Wednesday
Okongwu (illness) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game versus the Pelicans, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

Hawks' Onyeka Okongwu: Questionable for Wednesday
Okongwu (illness) has been downgraded to questionable for Wednesday's game against the Pelicans.
Okongwu was a very late addition to the injury report, presumably after waking up under the weather. If the center is unable to suit up, the Hawks will likely lean more on Kristaps Porzingis and Mouhamed Gueye.

Hawks' Onyeka Okongwu: Double-doubles in loss
Okongwu finished with 17 points (7-13 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 12 rebounds, three assists and four steals over 36 minutes during Monday's 118-100 loss to the Raptors.
It was a nice bounce-back performance from Okongwu after he finished with just four points during Saturday's loss to Toronto. He led the Hawks in points and recorded a career high in steals while posting his ninth double-double of the season. Okongwu primarily came off the bench to open the season, but he has been a mainstay in the Hawks' starting lineup since late November as Kristaps Porzingis works in a limited fashion off the bench while managing postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome. Over his last nine outings, Okongwu has averaged 18.1 points, 9.1 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 2.1 threes and 1.3 steals over 33.9 minutes per game.

Hawks' Onyeka Okongwu: Full stat line in win
Okongwu recorded 23 points (9-16 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 2-4 FT), nine rebounds, three steals, two assists and two blocks in 30 minutes during Friday's 111-99 victory over New York.
Okongwu turned in an efficient performance Friday, matching the team-high mark in points. The big man was productive across the board, particularly on the defensive end, where he tallied multiple steals and multiple blocks for the seventh time this season. Okongwu is in the midst of a career year and has scored 23-plus points in three of his last four outings, during which he has averaged 24.3 points, 11.3 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 1.3 steals across 32.0 minutes per contest.

Hawks' Onyeka Okongwu: Shines with 26/14 double-double
Okongwu recorded 26 points (8-16 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 7-8 FT), 14 rebounds, six assists and one steal over 35 minutes during Monday's 140-129 loss to Oklahoma City.
Okongwu turned in a great offensive performance, although he was unable to keep Chet Holmgren from posting a high number. Okongwu has eight double-doubles, and he logged 14 rebounds for a second consecutive game. He's not averaging a double-double, but his production remains solid, averaging 16.4 points and 7.8 rebounds over 33 games.

Hawks' Onyeka Okongwu: Monster double-double in loss
Okongwu chipped in 31 points (10-16 FG, 6-10 3Pt, 5-7 FT), 14 rebounds, one assist and one steal in 36 minutes before fouling out of Saturday's 128-125 loss to the Knicks.
Okongwu ended one point and one assist away from tying his respective season-high marks in both categories. The big man has started 14 games in a row due to the persistent issues of Kristaps Porzingis (illness), and Okongwu has been productive for the most part. This was his fifth game with at least 20 points in that stretch, which is a decent tally considering he has a secondary role on offense behind the star duo of Trae Young and Jalen Johnson.

Hawks' Onyeka Okongwu: Strikes for 23 in Sunday's loss
Okongwu contributed 23 points (10-18 FG, 3-7 3Pt), seven rebounds, six assists, one block and one steal over 40 minutes during Sunday's 152-150 loss to the Bulls.
It was an impressive bounce-back effort after Okongwu scored just seven points Friday against the Spurs. The 25-year-old center has scored at least 20 points in four of nine December games, averaging 15.2 points, 7.4 boards, 4.0 assists, 1.7 threes, 1.6 blocks and 1.4 steals so far this month.
