Clint Capela

Okongwu continues to have a massive role for the Hawks with Clint Capela and Jalen Johnson out. The 24-year-old center played 40 minutes and had a 20-point double-double against the Mavericks Wednesday. Okongwu has seen his production tick up since the All-Star break and he should be able to maintain this level of play through the rest of the regular season.

Okongwu was one of six Hawks to finish with double-digit scoring, and he led all rebounders in the contest. The big man has thrived since returning from the All-Star break, averaging better than 15 points, 10 rebounds, a steal and a block. With Clint Capela and Jalen Johnson out, expect Okongwu to continue producing at a high level to close out the 2024-25 campaign.

Okongwu continued his stellar play on Saturday, recording his fourth consecutive double-double. Over the past month, the Hawks center has provided top-20 value in eight-cat formats. With Clint Capela likely done for the season due to injury, nothing has prevented Okongwu from logging heavy minutes. Not only is he helping fantasy managers win their leagues this season, but Onyeka is boosting his value for drafts in the fall.

Atlanta Hawks center Clint Capela is expected to miss the remainder of the regular season with an injury to his left hand.

Okongwu has missed four straight games due to personal reasons, but he will presumably miss the rest of the season with a ligament injury in the fourth metacarpal of his left hand. Capela's minutes as backup center will likely be absorbed primarily by Dominick Barlow, though Barlow is not a recommended streaming option for fantasy hoops managers.
