Okongwu tallied 11 points (5-12 FG, 1-5 3Pt), 12 rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal over 35 minutes during the Hawks' 117-100 loss to the Thunder on Saturday.
Okongwu got the start at center for a second straight game due to the absence of Kristaps Porzingis (illness). Okongwu put together a solid stat line, logging his first double-double of the season while leading the Hawks in rebounds.

Hawks' Onyeka Okongwu: Full stat line in win
Okongwu notched 17 points (5-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 6-7 FT), four rebounds, three assists, three blocks and one steal across 33 minutes during Friday's 111-107 win over Orlando.
Okongwu replaced Kristaps Porzingis (illness) in the starting lineup, ending with a full stat line, despite dealing with foul trouble. While he is slated to come off the bench when Porzingis is healthy, Okongwu should still be able to hold steady top-90 value in most formats. If and when Porzingis is sidelined, look for Okongwu to step into a slightly larger role.

Okongwu (rest) is in line to play in Thursday's preseason finale against the Rockets, Caleb Johnson of 92.9 The Game reports.
The 2020 first-rounder is slated for action in Thursday's final tune-up prior to Atlanta's Oct. 22 season opener against the Raptors. Given the sizable gap between the preseason finale and the start of the regular season for the Hawks, Okongwu may play during the second half against Houston.

Hawks' Onyeka Okongwu: Strong showing in bench role
Okongwu finished with 12 points (4-7 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds and one assist in 21 minutes during Saturday's 122-116 preseason win over the Grizzlies.
Okongwu put together another strong final line off the bench, shooting with efficiency on the offensive end. Kristaps Porzingis drew a second straight preseason start. Still, it's abundantly clear that both Porzingis and Okongwu will continue to be heavily involved in the frontcourt heading into the regular season.

Hawks' Onyeka Okongwu: Looks sharp off bench
Okongwu produced 11 points (4-8 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound, one assist and one steal across 18 minutes of Monday's 122-113 preseason loss to Houston.
Kristaps Porzingis drew the start next to Jalen Johnson, but he played a minimal workload of 15 minutes with five points to show for it. The Hawks have stressed all offseason that Okongwu and Porzingis will both be heavily involved.
