Onyeka Okongwu Remains Among Starting Five Friday
3 years agoAtlanta Hawks center Onyeka Okongwu will draw a third consecutive start for Friday's game against Miami despite the return of Clint Capela (ankle). Okongwu has enjoyed a strong six-contest stretch (four starts), averaging 10.2 points, 7.2 boards, and 2.2 blocks while shooting 78.2 percent overall. His minutes figure to take a slight dip with Capela back in the mix, but the veteran will be on a minutes cap in his first game back. Okongwu's season-long viability takes a hit with Capela active, while his DFS prospects are likely dwindling beyond Friday's contest. The future is bright though for the 21-year-old, who should still draw interest in dynasty formats as a potential shot blocking weapon for seasons to come.
