Hawks' Onyeka Okongwu: Grabs nine boards in win
Okongwu had eight points (4-9 FG, 0-3 3Pt), nine rebounds and two assists across 26 minutes during Thursday's 117-107 win over the 76ers.
Okongwu turned in a modest performance in Atlanta's first outing following the All-Star break. The big man failed to score in double figures for the first time since Jan. 19, though he finished second on the Hawks in rebounds after averaging just 4.7 boards per game in his previous three games. After starting the season in a bench role, Okongwu should continue to start and see significant burn. He'll aim to bounce back on the offensive end in the second leg of this back-to-back set Friday against Miami.

Hawks' Onyeka Okongwu: Chips in 18 in loss to Hornets
Okongwu registered 18 points (5-9 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 5-5 FT), three rebounds, two blocks and one steal in 29 minutes during Wednesday's 110-107 loss to Charlotte.
The 25-year-old center scored in the teens with multiple made three-pointers in a third straight game since returning from dental surgery, and his seventh straight appearance overall. During that latter stretch, Okongwu is averaging 17.1 points, 6.3 boards, 2.9 threes, 2.3 assists, 1.1 blocks and 1.0 steals while shooting 51.9 percent from the floor and 48.8 percent from long range.

Hawks' Onyeka Okongwu: Serviceable two-way effort in return
Okongwu (dental fracture) provided 16 points (6-11 FG, 4-7 3Pt), six rebounds, two assists and two blocks in 31 minutes during Saturday's 126-119 loss to the Hornets.
Back in action following a four-game absence after requiring surgery to address a dental fracture, Okongwu slid back into the starting five and didn't operate with any minutes restrictions. He picked up right where he left off and produced on both ends of the floor to continue what has been a career-best season. With Kristaps Porzingis now in Golden State, Okongwu is firmly established as the starting center moving forward. In 48 appearances, he has averaged 16.3 points, 7.9 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 2.0 three-pointers, 1.2 steals and 1.0 blocks in 32.0 minutes per contest while shooting 48.3 percent from the field and 78.1 percent from the free-throw line.

Hawks' Onyeka Okongwu: Will play Saturday
Okongwu (mouth) is available for Saturday's game against the Hornets.
Okongwu missed Atlanta's last four games after undergoing a dental procedure Jan. 29, though he'll shed his questionable tag and suit up Saturday. With the big man back in action, Jock Landale will likely shift to a bench role. Okongwu has averaged 15.2 points, 8.0 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 2.4 combined steals-plus-blocks in 31.6 minutes per game over his last five outings.

Hawks' Onyeka Okongwu: Iffy for Saturday
Okongwu (mouth) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Hornets.

Hawks' Onyeka Okongwu: Tabbed questionable
Okongwu (mouth) is questionable for Thursday's game against Utah.
Okongwu underwent a dental procedure Jan. 29, and he's missed three straight games as a result. The 25-year-old center will have a chance at returning Thursday against the shorthanded Jazz, who recently made waves by acquiring Jaren Jackson in a blockbuster trade with the Grizzlies.

Hawks' Onyeka Okongwu: Ruled out for Tuesday
Okongwu is out for Tuesday's game against the Heat due to a dental fracture, per Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network.
Okongwu is unavailable for a third matchup in a row with the issue. The 2020 first-rounder can be considered day-to-day ahead of Thursday's tilt against the Jazz. Mouhamed Gueye and Christian Koloko could both be worthy of streaming attention Tuesday, though that does partly hinge upon the potential availability of Kristaps Porzingis (Achilles).

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.

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.
