Atlanta Hawks

Atlanta Hawks point guard Trae Young (shoulder) is seen as probable for Wednesday's home game against Philadelphia. The Hawks star sprained his right shoulder a while back but has been pushing through the injury and even logged a season-high 42 minutes last time out against Orlando. It appears safe to assume that he will remain in the lineup Wednesday. Young has posted 10 double-doubles in his previous 13 appearances, and whilst meetings with Philadelphia haven't been very productive for point guards this season, Young was also in double-double form in his only previous clash with the Sixers this season. He posted 22 points and 13 assists in the matchup in an in-season tournament game on Nov. 17.

Atlanta Hawks center Clint Capela (Achilles) is questionable for Wednesday's encounter with Philadelphia. He's landed on the injury report with right Achilles soreness, which puts him in danger of missing his second game of the season. It's been a solid campaign for him, and Capela has performed well against the Sixers, averaging 16.0 points and 13.5 rebounds in two contests. He might do even better on Wednesday, with Joel Embiid (knee) on the shelf for the visitors, but the Hawks are facing a busy stretch and could decide to give the Swiss big man a break. It would be Onyeka Okongwu's chance to shine as a starter if Capela can't go.

The Atlanta Hawks did not include center Onyeka Okongwu (illness) on their injury report for Wednesday's matchup against the Oklahoma City Thunder, meaning he is good to go for a return from a one-game respite with an illness. Okongwu remains a darling in fantasy hoops for his ability to rack up blocks and boards when given the opportunity, but his ceiling is limited in Atlanta's second unit behind starter Clint Capela. Since Capela seems to always find his name swirling in trade rumors around the annual February deadline, Okongwu remains a forward-thinking hold with massive contingency upside if anything were to happen to Capela. The former No. 6 overall pick is still managing 9.6 points, 6.7 rebounds, and 0.9 swats in 24.5 minutes per night, and he should return to the bench on Wednesday as the 13-19 Hawks' backup big man.
