NBC SportsOnyeka Okongwu finished Saturday's win over Boston with 19 points (6-of-10 FGs, 5-of-7 FTs), 13 rebounds, two assists, four blocks, and two 3-pointers in 32 minutes.

It took some time, but fantasy managers finally see the Okongwu they've been clamoring for. He finished Saturday's overtime victory with his third double-double in as many games, and the four blocked shots matched his season-high. Over the past two weeks, the Hawks' backup center has provided top-50 value in 9-cat formats. With the trade deadline a little less than three weeks away, it will be interesting to see if Atlanta moves Clint Capela. If so, Okongwu's fantasy ceiling rises considerably.

NBC SportsLarry Nance Jr. (right hand surgery) will be re-evaluated in one week.

After undergoing surgery to repair the broken fourth metacarpal in his right hand two weeks ago, Nance continues to progress in his recovery. He'll spend at least one more week on the sideline, leaving the Hawks with Clint Capela and Onyeka Okongwu as their available centers. Nance's absence does not significantly impact fantasy basketball.

NBC SportsKeaton Wallace, Vit Krejci, Dyson Daniels, David Roddy, and Clint Capela will start Wednesday's game against the Bulls.

In addition to Jalen Johnson, the Hawks are without Trae Young and Zaccharie Risacher. Krejci will remain in the starting lineup, while Wallace and Roddy have replaced Young and Risacher. Given Atlanta's lack of options, Krejci is worth streaming, as is Garrison Mathews (despite coming off the bench).

NBC SportsClint Capela recorded a double-double on Thursday with 10 points (4-of-11 FGs), 11 rebounds, two assists, one steal and two blocks against the Suns.

Capela has been a double-double machine throughout his career, but that hasn't been the case this season. In their last 12 games, Capela has just two double-doubles. Since coming to Atlanta, he has had at least 35 double-doubles in each season, but he has just eight in 38 appearances this year. It's unlikely that he keeps that pace this season, though a drop in minutes can help explain that. They'll close out the week against the Rockets on Saturday, with a three-game week after that.

NBC SportsOnyeka Okongwu (facial contusion) has been upgraded to available for Thursday's matchup with the Suns.

Okongwu will be good to go despite being given the questionable tag. He'll continue to split the minutes at center behind Clint Capela, though he hasn't been as impactful in fantasy basketball in comparison to the last few seasons.
