After missing Atlanta’s most recent game for conditioning reasons, Poriņģis will not be available on Friday due to illness. As has been the case in the past, Onyeka Okongwu will remain the starter. Okongwu is already rostered in most fantasy leagues, so nothing changes there.

Porzingis will miss Saturday’s game for conditioning reasons. The 30-year-old power forward missed Friday’s game against the Nuggets with an illness and has missed the last five games. Onyeka Okongwu will start, but he’s already rostered in most fantasy leagues.

Following a four-game absence due to an illness, Porzingis was back in the rotation for this game. He came off the bench for the first time this season and only the second time in his career, which allowed Onyeka Okongwu to remain a starter. That likely isn’t a permanent change, since Porzingis was on a minutes restriction, but he thrived during his 20 minutes on the floor. This was the first of a back-to-back, and Porziņģis hasn’t played in both legs of a back-to-back this year.

Porziņģis will be back after a four-game absence, and he will likely return to his spot in the starting lineup. That would typically push Onyeka Okongwu to the bench, but with Porziņģis on a minutes restriction, Okongwu will continue to start. This is the first night of a back-to-back, so Porziņģis will likely sit that one out.

Porziņģis has missed Atlanta’s last four games due to illness, and he has progressed to the “return to competition conditioning” phase. Onyeka Okongwu will be the starting center whenever Porziņģis is not available, and he should already be rostered in all leagues.

Porziņģis will miss a fourth consecutive game due to illness. Onyeka Okongwu, who should already be rostered in most leagues, will remain in the starting lineup until Porziņģis is healthy enough to play. Mouhamed Gueye will pick up rotation minutes off the bench as Okongwu’s backup.

Porziņģis will miss a third straight game, which should mean a third straight start for Onyeka Okongwu. Okongwu is a strong streaming option for as long as KP is sidelined, and Mouhamed Gueye should soak up backup big man minutes off the bench.

This will be a second straight absence for Porziņģis, which will mean another start for Onyeka Okongwu. OO has been elite as a starter and will once again be set up for a big night. Mouhamed Gueye should also see a few extra minutes as the backup center.

Porziņģis was a late addition to the injury report and has now officially been ruled out. Onyeka Okongwu should once again return to the starting lineup, where he has had plenty of success this season. Mouhamed Gueye will likely fill out the backup center minutes, though Okongwu will play most of the center minutes.

Porzingis is a late addition to the injury report, so he should be considered highly questionable to take the court against the Cavs. If KP is sidelined, Onyeka Okongwu could rejoin the starting five in his place.

Back in the lineup after sitting out Sunday’s win over the Hornets, Porziņģis was one of the few Hawks to play well in Tuesday’s blowout defeat. Despite having just five games with at least 20 points, he’s closing in on top-25 value in nine-cat formats. Increased assist production has been a factor, with Porziņģis averaging a career-high 3.3 helpers per game. The Hawks still have two games to play after Thanksgiving, but the second is part of a Sunday/Monday back-to-back.

Porziņģis is back after sitting out the second game of Atlanta’s most recent back-to-back, Sunday against the Hornets. Onyeka Okongwu will head to the bench, but he will still be a valuable option in fantasy basketball, regardless of league size or format.

Porziņģis did not play in Sunday’s win over the Hornets, which was Atlanta’s second game in as many nights. His return means Onyeka Okongwu will head back to the bench. While his fantasy ceiling is lower in that role, Okongwu should still be rostered in all leagues.

Sunday’s game is the second in as many nights for the Hawks, who beat the Pelicans on Saturday. Porziņģis won’t play, but there are questions of what Atlanta will do if Onyeka Okongwu (ankle) can’t play. He sat out Saturday’s victory, resulting in Mouhamed Gueye playing 27 minutes off the bench. He would take on an even heavier workload if Okongwu sits.

Porziņģis eclipsed the lofty 30-point plateau for the first time in his Hawks debut and continues to remind everyone that, when healthy, he’s one of the league’s most uniquely impactful two-way centers thanks to his three-point range and rim-protecting prowess. The 30-year-old, who has been dealing with a lingering knee issue recently, caught fire in the second quarter, hitting five of six shots and scoring half his total during that burst. He remains the ultimate X-factor for Atlanta’s intriguing young core — the kind of matchup-warping piece who can swing an entire playoff series come spring.

Porziņģis was back in the starting lineup after a three-game absence, recording a solid stat line in San Antonio. Just as important was his not showing any ill effects from the sore knee that sidelined him. Porziņģis’ return pushed Onyeka Okongwu to the bench, and Double-O finished with 15 points, seven rebounds, five assists and three three-pointers in 25 minutes. Okongwu, who suffered an injury scare during Thursday’s game when San Antonio’s Luke Kornet fell into his right leg, remains valuable in fantasy basketball. But his ceiling is lower with Porziņģis in the lineup.

Risacher and Porziņǵis are back in the fold after missing time with hip and knee injuries, respectively. Their returns mean that Vit Krejčí and Onyeka Okongwu will come off the bench, with the former not worth the streaming risk in most leagues. Okongwu should be rostered in all leagues, whether he starts or comes off the bench.

After a three-game absence, Porziņģis is available and will likely start. If so, Onyeka Okongwu will head to the bench, but he should still be rostered in all leagues. Okongwu flourished as a starter, but there’s no guarantee that Porziņģis will play starters’ minutes due to his history of lower-body injuries.

Porziņģis has missed Atlanta’s last three games, resulting in Onyeka Okongwu moving into the starting lineup. While Okongwu would likely move to the bench if KP plays on Thursday, he should still be rostered in most, if not all, fantasy leagues. Mouhamed Gueye’s playing time would likely decrease, but he does not affect fantasy basketball.

Porziņģis will miss a third straight game, which means Onyeka Okongwu will get a third straight start. Mouhamed Gueye and Asa Newell should fill out the backup center minutes, but that won’t be a large enough role for either to make a fantasy impact.

Porziņģis has missed Atlanta’s last two games with a sore right knee, resulting in Onyeka Okongwu moving into the starting lineup. With Okongwu (knee) also questionable for Tuesday’s game, the Hawks could be severely shorthanded in the post. Mouhamed Gueye’s minutes may increase, and there’s also a chance that Atlanta would have to recall N’Faly Dante from the G League if KP and Okongwu can’t play.

Downgraded to questionable earlier Sunday afternoon, Porziņģis will now miss a second straight game with a sore right knee. Onyeka Okongwu, who should already be rostered in most leagues, will remain in the starting lineup. If he’s sitting on your league’s waiver wire, pick him up.

Porzingis was downgraded to questionable with a knee injury mere hours before game-time, which doesn’t exactly bode well for his availability against the Suns on Sunday. Onyeka Okongwu would be in line for the start if Porzingis is ruled out.

Porziņģis hasn’t played both legs of a back-to-back yet this season, and that isn’t going to start against Utah. His absence will open the door for Onyeka Okongwu to slide into the starting unit once again.

Despite being a fixture in the Hawks’ starting lineup when available, Porziņģis has just three 20-point games in eight appearances. A perfect night at the foul line gave his point total a welcome boost on Monday, but fantasy managers can also benefit from the assists and blocked shots. Porziņģis is providing fifth-round value in fantasy basketball, which aligns with his Yahoo! ADP of 53. Onyeka Okongwu returned to the bench on Monday after starting Saturday’s win over the Lakers, finishing with 10 points, six rebounds and three assists in 26 minutes. While he remains a player worth rostering in most leagues, Okongwu’s ceiling is lowered when Porziņģis is available.

Neither Porziņģis nor Kennard played in Saturday’s win over the Lakers, with the former’s absence having a greater impact on the Hawks’ rotation. Onyeka Okongwu will likely return to the bench with KP back in the fold, with Kennard’s return meaning fewer minutes for rookie Asa Newell. While Okongwu should be rostered in most leagues, there’s no need to hold onto Newell if you streamed him on Saturday.

Porzingis had 17 points on 16 shots in Friday’s loss to the Raptors, but made his presence known with four blocked shots on the defensive end. The 30-year-old center has been a top-50 player in nine-category leagues so far this year. Without Porzingis on Saturday, it’s likely the Hawks turn to Onyeka Okongwu to get the start.

Porziņģis had a tough night from beyond the arc, making one of his seven attempts, and that sank his overall field-goal percentage. However, the 7-foot-2 center provided solid value in the rebound and blocked shot categories, so all wasn’t lost for fantasy managers. Porziņģis is providing top-50 value in nine-cat formats this season, but his value has decreased somewhat since Trae Young went down with a knee injury.

Porziņģis had a relatively quiet night scoring-wise, but he grabbed double-digit rebounds for the first time this season. And with Trae Young (knee) out, KP will likely have to do more as a rebounder and defender to keep his fantasy value up. In the two games Young has missed, Porziņģis has scored 15 points in both, three less than his season average (18.2). He still provides 6th-round value, but the ceiling lowered when the Hawks lost their starting point guard. Atlanta plays three games during Week 3, starting with the Magic on Tuesday.
