Continues to poach time from Capela Okongwu finished with four points (2-3 FG), three steals, two rebounds, two blocks and one assist in 16 minutes Sunday in the Hawks' 103-94 loss to the Mavericks. Impact Though he was held under 20 minutes for the second time in three games, Okongwu saw high-value playing time in the contest, as he saw more run than center Clint Capela in the fourth quarter. Okongwu is still likely to play less than half of the game most nights, but his strong run of production in recent weeks likely means that Capela won't see his minutes creep back up over 30 on a regular basis, as had been the case earlier in the season. Okongwu looks like a solid option in 14-team leagues or deeper, and he could have a case for 12-team value for managers who are looking to make up ground in field-goal percentage, rebounds and blocks.
