Atlanta Hawks

Atlanta Hawks center Onyeka Okongwu (knee) will remain out of the lineup on Thursday against Chicago. The talented big man has battled inflammation in his left knee lately and will miss a fourth consecutive game. Larry Nance Jr. has entered the rotation in Okongwu's absence, posting impressive numbers. Working as Clint Capela's backup, Nance Jr. has averaged 11.3 points, 9.0 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 1.3 steals, and 2.3 blocks across the past three games. The Hawks big men should get plenty of work done on Thursday against a team that gives up the seventh-most fantasy points in the league to opposing centers.

Atlanta Hawks guard/forward Bogdan Bogdanovic (lower leg) is carrying a questionable tag ahead of Thursday's game against Chicago. He might be out for a second consecutive game after sustaining a lower leg contusion. With Bogdanovic out of the lineup against Minnesota on Monday, Garrison Mathews went berserk off the Hawks bench with 25 points on 7-for-8 shooting from deep. We might see a similar effort from him on Thursday if Bogdanovic remains sidelined. The Bulls give up the fifth-most three-point attempts in the league and have one of the worst defensive records.

Atlanta Hawks point guard Trae Young (heel) is questionable to face Chicago on Thursday. After sitting on the injury report for multiple weeks with an Achilles injury, Young is currently troubled by a heel contusion. He missed a game with the issue last week but was back in the lineup for Monday's matchup against Minnesota. Should Young head back to the shelf on Thursday, Vit Krejci will likely log his second start of the season. He was fairly anonymous in his first opportunity last Saturday versus Memphis, finishing with seven points, three assists, and one steal. Young's absence would likely bring Keaton Wallace back to the rotation as well. His production was limited to five points and four assists versus the Grizzlies.

Atlanta Hawks guard/forward Bogdan Bogdanovic (lower leg) will not suit up for Monday's matchup against Minnesota. Entering Monday, he was already listed as questionable for the contest, so it's not unexpected that Bogdanovic exits the lineup once again. The Serbian veteran has been limited to only 14 appearances this season, averaging 11.3 points in 25.4 minutes. De'Andre Hunter should get extra scoring opportunities off the bench on Monday, with Vit Krejci and Garrison Mathews potentially soaking in some of Bogdanovic's minutes.

Atlanta Hawks point guard Trae Young (heel) will be active against Minnesota on Monday. He returns from a one-game absence after missing Saturday's matchup against Memphis with a heel problem. The Hawks star has been a double-double machine throughout the season, averaging 21.6 points and a league-high 12.2 assists. However, Monday's game could be one of the most challenging matchups of the season for Young, as the Timberwolves give up the third-fewest fantasy points in the league to point guards.
