It is very notable that Okongwu has been upgraded to questionable. With Nance out, it would be great if Okongwu could come back and give the Hawks their usual center rotation with Clint Capela. He has missed the last five games so it is not a given that he is going to play. Young has been questionable for the Hawks's last three games but has ended up playing, while Bogdanovic has missed the last three games. Daniels was also out yesterday. After the game yesterday, the Hawks gave an update on Nance and his injury:

"Forward Larry Nance Jr. sustained a right hand injury during today’s game vs. Miami at State Farm Arena. Additional details regarding the injury, a treatment plan and a timeline will be shared when available."
