Onyeka Okongwu finished Thursday’s loss to the Trail Blazers with 26 points (10-of-21 FGs, 1-of-1 FTs), nine rebounds, two assists, three steals, one block and five three-pointers.
Okongwu was Atlanta’s top scorer on the evening, finishing as one of only two Hawks players to reach the 20-point mark. More than half of his production came from beyond the arc, and Thursday’s outing marked the fourth time this January that he’s tallied at least three made three-pointers in a game. Okongwu has been a reliable offensive option for the Hawks in what’s been a career-best season for him thus far. Especially with Kristaps Porzingis sidelined, fantasy managers should expect Okongwu to remain productive.
