Onyeka Okongwu Enters Protocols, Out On Saturday
3 years agoAtlanta Hawks center Onyeka Okongwu won't play on Saturday versus the Knicks after entering health and safety protocols. This is an unfortunate development, mainly since the 21-year-old had recently returned after missing the beginning of the year because of right shoulder surgery. He was anticipated to serve a significant role on Christmas without Clint Capela, who's also carrying the same designation. As a result, Gorgui Dieng should handle more minutes than usual against New York, and he is worth a start as a streamer in seasonal formats. Dieng has value upside in DFS contests as well.
