As the NBA playoffs approach, every minute on the court becomes crucial for teams vying for a championship run. In a strategic move, the Chicago Bulls have decided to bring Javonte Green off the bench for their upcoming game against the Atlanta Hawks. This lineup adjustment, as reported by Lauren L. Williams of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, is expected to have a significant impact on Green’s playing time and fantasy value.
The Atlanta Hawks may have suffered a lopsided 136-105 loss to the Los Angeles Lakers on Monday, but the return of promising young center Onyeka Okongwu provided a silver lining amidst the disappointment. After missing 13 consecutive games due to a nagging toe injury, the 22-year-old big man made his presence felt, contributing 11 points, four rebounds, two assists, and two steals in just 19 minutes of action.
Okongwu’s efficiency was particularly impressive, as he showcased his polished touch around the basket by converting 5 of his 7 field goal attempts, including a perfect 5-for-5 on two-point shots.
