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: Exits to locker room
Okongwu exited to the locker room in the first quarter of Friday's game against the Knicks due to an apparent laceration, Lauren L. Williams of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

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.

Hawks' Onyeka Okongwu: Another stellar showing
Okongwu ended Sunday's 120-117 win over the 76ers with 20 points (6-17 FG, 5-10 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 15 rebounds, four assists, two blocks and one steal across 36 minutes.
Okongwu grabbed a season-high 15 rebounds Sunday and is averaging 18.3 points, 9.0 rebounds, 4.3 assists, 3.0 blocks and 1.7 steals in 33.3 minutes per game over his past three appearances. Kristaps Porzingis (illness) is slated to miss at least a few weeks and could be sidelined indefinitely, giving Okongwu a huge runway to continue his career-best campaign.

Hawks' Onyeka Okongwu: Stuffs stat sheet in loss
Okongwu provided 14 points (4-10 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 6-8 FT), three rebounds, three assists, four blocks and two steals over 28 minutes during Friday's 142-115 loss to the Pistons.
Okongwu had a mixed performance in a blowout loss to the Pistons, recording a season high in blocks and turnovers. The USC product leads the league with three games collecting at least two steals and three blocks in the same game. The big man has scored in double figures in all but three games this season and remains a steady source of points, rebounds, and stocks, especially when Kristaps Porzingis (illness) misses time.

Hawks' Onyeka Okongwu: Held to seven points in loss
Okongwu notched seven points (3-12 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 0-1 FT), nine rebounds and five assists over 34 minutes during Wednesday's 115-92 loss to the Clippers.
Okongwu had a tough night banging in the post with Ivica Zubac, and he didn't even get his first shot to drop until the second quarter. It was an off night for a guy who is having a fantastic season, so managers can expect a bounce-back performance Friday against the Nuggets.

Hawks' Onyeka Okongwu: Records double-double
Okongwu closed Sunday's 142-134 double-overtime victory over the 76ers with 10 points (5-14 FG, 0-7 3Pt), 13 rebounds, six assists and one steal in 47 minutes.
With Kristaps Porzingis (illness) sidelined, Okongwu recorded his fifth double-double of the season -- and first since Nov. 13 -- in this win, and the big man continues to make the most of his minutes available in the Hawks' frontcourt. Regardless of whether he starts or plays off the bench, Okongwu is seeing enough minutes and producing at a strong enough rate to be considered across all formats. He averaged 16.7 points, 6.6 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 1.0 steals and 0.9 blocks per game in November.

Hawks' Onyeka Okongwu: Back in starting lineup
Okongwu is in the Hawks' starting lineup against the Cavaliers on Friday, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
Okongwu will make his eighth start of the season Friday due to the absence of Kristaps Porzingis (illness). Okongwu has been productive both as a starter and off the bench this season, and in 12 games since Nov. 2, he has averaged 17.2 points, 6.1 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 2.3 threes, 0.9 blocks and 0.9 steals over 28.7 minutes per contest.

Hawks' Onyeka Okongwu: Posts four stocks in spot start
Okongwu recorded 18 points (8-14 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 0-1 FT), seven rebounds, four assists, two blocks and two steals in 34 minutes during Friday's 130-123 win over Cleveland.
Okongwu got the start Friday due to the absence of Kristaps Porzingis (illness), and the former made the most of his opportunity by filling up the stat sheet during Atlanta's win. Okongwu has scored at least 15 points in each of his last eight outings (five starts), and over that span he has averaged 21.8 points on 58.2 percent shooting (including 48.2 percent from three on 7.0 3PA/G) along with 5.4 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 1.3 blocks and 1.0 steals over 30.1 minutes per game.

Hawks' Onyeka Okongwu: Returning to bench role
Okongwu will come off the bench Tuesday against the Wizards, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
Okongwu stepped into the starting lineup Sunday given the absence of Kristaps Porzingis, but the USC product will operate as a reserve Tuesday night. Okongwu has scored in double figures in each of his last three appearances off the bench.

Hawks' Onyeka Okongwu: Chips in 20 points in win
Okongwu closed Sunday's 113-110 win over the Hornets with 20 points (8-18 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds and three assists across 35 minutes.
After missing Saturday's win over New Orleans due to left ankle inflammation, the 24-year-old big man got the starting nod in place of Kristaps Porzingis (rest) on Sunday. Okongwu was one of four Atlanta players to score 20-plus points and has now reached that mark in five of his last six appearances (four starts). During that span, he has averaged 22.7 points, 5.5 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 1.2 blocks and 1.0 steals in 31.2 minutes per game.

Okongwu (ankle) is available for Sunday's game against the Hornets, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
Okongwu was previously listed as questionable with left ankle inflammation but will shed that designation and suit up Sunday.

In his first six, the big man averaged 20.0 points, 6.7 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 2.2 blocks and 1.7 steals in 34.3 minutes per contest.

Hawks' Onyeka Okongwu: Questionable Sunday
Okongwu (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Hornets, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
Okongwu sat out the first half of the Hawks' back-to-back Saturday against the Pelicans and is now questionable for Sunday's matchup with the Hornets due to left ankle inflammation. With Kristaps Porzingis (rest) sidelined, Okongwu would likely draw the start if cleared, while Mouhamed Gueye would be the next option at center if the latter is unable to go.

Hawks' Onyeka Okongwu: Won't play Saturday
Okongwu (ankle) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Pelicans, Kevin Chouinard of the Hawks' official site reports.
Okongwu will sit out the first leg of this back-to-back set, but maybe he'll be able to get back out there for Sunday's game against the Hornets. His absence should open up minutes for Mouhamed Gueye.

Hawks' Onyeka Okongwu: Questionable for Saturday
Okongwu is questionable for Saturday's game in New Orleans due to left ankle inflammation, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
Okongwu tweaked his ankle during Thursday's loss to the Spurs, and with Saturday's matchup against the Pelicans being the first of a back-to-back set, he may sit that one out. If Okongwu is unavailable for Saturday's game, that would open up some minutes for Mouhamed Gueye.
