Onyeka Okongwu

Porzingis has missed Atlanta's last four games due to illness, and he has progressed to the "return to competition conditioning" phase. Onyeka Okongwu will be the starting center whenever Porzingis is not available, and he should already be rostered in all leagues.

The Hawks are without Jalen Johnson and Kristaps Porzingis, with the latter missing his fifth consecutive game. Okongwu will continue to start for KP, while Gueye steps in for Johnson. While Okongwu is already rostered in most leagues, Gueye is worthy of streaming consideration in deep leagues.

With Kristaps Porzingis sidelined, Okongwu will unsurprisingly return to the starting lineup. He has been excellent in seven starts this year, averaging 20 points, 6.7 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 1.4 steals, 1.9 blocks and 2.7 three-pointers per game.

Okongwu is in the Hawks' starting lineup against the Cavaliers on Friday, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

Porzingis was a late addition to the injury report and has now officially been ruled out. Onyeka Okongwu should once again return to the starting lineup, where he has had plenty of success this season. Mouhamed Gueye will likely fill out the backup center minutes, though Okongwu will play most of the center minutes.
