Onyeka Okongwu starting for Hawks Sunday in place of injured Clint Capela
Atlanta Hawks catcher Onyeka Okongwu is in the lineup Sunday in the team's game against the Miami Heat.
What It Means:
Okongwu has been coming off the bench when at full strength. But on Sunday, Clint Capela will miss Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Playoffs - and likely the next few contests as well. As a result, Okongwu will step in to the starting five, matching up with Bam Adebayo down low.
Our models project Okongwu for 9.1 points, 8.4 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 27.8 FanDuel points across 28.7 minutes of action.
