Rotowire
Okongwu registered 21 points (9-14 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 0-2 FT), eight rebounds, one assist, two blocks and three steals across 31 minutes during Wednesday's 131-113 victory over the Bucks.

The sixth-year center led Atlanta in points, reaching the 20-point mark for the first time since Jan. 23 and for the 17th time this season. Additionally, he knocked down an efficient four three-pointers and has hit multiple triples in all but one of his last nine outings. He also racked up multiple blocks for the third time in his last five appearances, though he has been less effective on the glass of late, finishing with fewer than four rebounds in two of his last three showings.

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.

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: Ruled out for Tuesday
Rotowire
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).
