Okongwu closed Saturday's 127-100 win over the Raptors with 17 points (6-6 FG, 5-6 FT), seven rebounds, one assist, three blocks and one steal across 27 minutes.

EDGE Analysis

Okongwu continues to come off the bench behind Clint Capela, but it's clear the Hawks have been making an effort to find him more minutes over the last several weeks. With Saturday's game out of hand by the end of the third quarter, Okongwu was able to see extended action, while Capela played only 18 minutes. Of the two, Capela remains the more valuable fantasy option in the short term, but Okongwu is beginning to look more and more like a high-potential asset in dynasty formats.

Okongwu finished with four points (2-3 FG), three steals, two rebounds, two blocks and one assist in 16 minutes Sunday in the Hawks' 103-94 loss to the Mavericks.

EDGE Analysis

Though he was held under 20 minutes for the second time in three games, Okongwu saw high-value playing time in the contest, as he saw more run than center Clint Capela in the fourth quarter. Okongwu is still likely to play less than half of the game most nights, but his strong run of production in recent weeks likely means that Capela won't see his minutes creep back up over 30 on a regular basis, as had been the case earlier in the season. Okongwu looks like a solid option in 14-team leagues or deeper, and he could have a case for 12-team value for managers who are looking to make up ground in field-goal percentage, rebounds and blocks.

Okongwu logged 16 points (8-9 FG), five rebounds and one steal across 22 minutes during Sunday's 129-121 win over the Lakers.

EDGE Analysis

The Hawks elected to roll with Okongwu once the game was well in hand, and he responded with more total points than starter Clint Capela in 22 minutes of action. While he's a capable second-unit player who's shown plenty of flashes, he still has minimal fantasy value in seasonal formats as long as Capela is healthy.

Okongwu contributed 18 points (6-9 FG, 6-7 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and one steal in 19 minutes during Wednesday's 121-104 win over the Kings.

EDGE Analysis

With Clint Capela back from an ankle injury, Okongwu has operated off the bench the last two games. However, the latter was able to significantly out-produce the former during Wednesday's win. In just 15 appearances this season, the 2020 first-round pick is averaging 9.8 points, 6.3 rebounds, 1.7 blocks and 1.2 assists in 23.7 minutes. The veteran Capela likely has a stronghold on the starting gig, but the youngster has shown enough flashes to continue garnering a sizable role off the bench. However, both player's overall fantasy production will likely be limited if they continue to split time.

Okongwu will come off the bench for Sunday's game against the Hornets, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

The big man started the last three games in place of Clint Capela, but he'll head back to a bench role as Capela reclaims his usual spot at center. Capela made his return to action off the bench Friday against Miami, and while Okongwu remained in the starting five and saw 25 minutes, he finished with only six points, four rebounds and one block. Capela will still be on a minutes limit Sunday, so Okongwu could still be a viable, lower-end option in DFS contests.

Okongwu is starting Friday's game against the Heat, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Although Clint Capela will be available to return Friday, he'll be on a minutes restriction against Miami, which will allow Okongwu to continue to see a slight uptick in playing time. Across his last two starts, the 21-year-old averaged 14.5 points and 7.5 rebounds in 35.0 minutes per game.

Okongwu scored 17 points (5-8 FG, 7-9 FT) while adding eight rebounds, five blocks, an assist and a steal in 34 minutes during Wednesday's 134-122 win over the Timberwolves.

EDGE Analysis

Getting another start with Clint Capela (ankle) sidelined, Okongwu scored at least 12 points for the third straight game and posted multiple rejections for the fourth straight. The sixth overall selection in the 2020 draft is beginning to look more like a lottery pick after a fairly quiet rookie campaign, but his short-term fantasy value remains tied to Capela's health.

Okongwu racked up 12 points (6-9 FG), eight rebounds, three assists, three blocks and one steal across 36 minutes during Monday's 121-114 win over the Bucks.

EDGE Analysis

Okongwu and Gorgui Dieng (DNP-CD) has been splitting the void of Clint Capela (ankle). However, Dieng underwhelmed in two starts, paving the way for Okongwu to exceed 35 minutes for the second time this season. Okongwu has fringe fantasy appeal with this type of role, and it's unclear when exactly Capela is likely to return.

Okongwu is starting Monday's game against the Bucks, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Although Okongwu came off the bench in each of the last two games, he saw ample playing time and averaged 8.5 points and 5.5 rebounds in 20.0 minutes per contest. Gorgui Dieng will come off the bench with Clint Capela (ankle) still sidelined.

Okongwu tallied 12 points (6-6 FG), five rebounds, two blocks and one steal in 24 minutes off the bench Saturday in the Hawks' 117-108 loss to the Knicks.

EDGE Analysis

After a recent two-game run in the starting five, Okongwu has come off the bench for the past two contests, as the Hawks have turned to Gorgui Dieng to fill in for Clint Capela (ankle) on the top unit. Okongwu has still received more minutes than Dieng in both games since moving back to the bench, and the second-year center turned in one of his better all-around efforts of the season Saturday. The Hawks continue to evaluate Capela on a game-by-game basis, but if his absence turns into an extended one, Okongwu could have some value in 12-team leagues.
