Atlanta's Onyeka Okongwu (toe injury management) doubtful on Saturday
Atlanta Hawks center Onyeka Okongwu (toe) is doubtful for Saturday's game against the Charlotte Hornets.
What It Means:
After playing in two straight games since his return from a toe injury, Okongwu is expected to sit out for injury management reasons. Look for Bruno Fernando to fill in as Atlanta's backup center role if Okongwu is held out.
In 72 minutes with Atlanta's expected rotation, Fernando is averaging 1.10 FanDuel points per minute and a 14.1% usage rate.
