Available against Boston
Okongwu (finger) isn't listed on the injury report ahead of Monday's game against Boston.
Analysis
Okongwu had only eight points in Friday's 109-102 loss to the Celtics. He didn't suit up Saturday for the 123-113 win over Sacramento. However, Okongwu's absence won't extend beyond one game, meaning Jock Landale will presumably head back to the bench for the rematch with Boston.

Won't play Saturday
Okongwu (finger) won't play in Saturday's game against Sacramento, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
Analysis
Jock Landale (shoulder) is questionable. If Landale is upgraded to available, he would likely take over Okongwu's spot in the starting lineup. However, if Landale is also ruled out, Mouhamed Gueye would presumably roll with the first five.

Fills stat sheet in win Monday
Okongwu had 16 points (5-7 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 6-8 FT), five rebounds, two assists, one block and two steals over 20 minutes during Monday's 146-107 win over the Grizzlies.
Analysis
Okongwu was one of eight Atlanta players who scored in double digits in this win, and aside from filling the stat sheet, Okongwu was very efficient with his touches near the rim. The big man has scored at least 15 points in just two of his last five appearances, however, and with three single-digit scoring efforts in that span, the center's numbers are trending in the wrong direction.
