Hawks starting Onyeka Okongwu again Wednesday
Atlanta Hawks center Onyeka Okongwu will start again on Wednesday versus the Minnesota Timberwolves, per head coach Nate McMilan.
What It Means:
Okongwu will make a second consecutive start in place of Clint Capela (ankle). He played 36 minutes on Monday and scored 12 points with 7 rebounds, 3 assists, a steal, and 3 blocks.
The Timberwolves are allowing the seventh-most FanDuel points per game to the center position this season, putting Okongwu in a prime spot for Wednesday's 13-game slate. He has a $4,900 salary and is numberFire's second-best point-per-dollar value, and our models project Okongwu for 33.2 FanDuel points over 32.9 minutes.
