Hawks' Onyeka Okongwu: Starting sans Porzingis

Okongwu will start Sunday's game against the Hornets, Kevin Chouinard of the Hawks' official site reports.

With Kristaps Porzingis (rest) sitting out the second leg of Atlanta's back-to-back set, Okongwu will get the starting nod. In his previous six starts this season, 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 game.
