Magic's Chuma Okeke (knee) out again Wednesday
Orlando Magic power forward Chuma Okeke (knee) is out for Wednesday against the Atlanta Hawks.
What It Means:
Okeke will miss a fourth straight game. Wendell Carter Jr. (foot) will also remain sidelined and Mo Bamba (back) is questionable, so Bol Bol could make another start at center. He moved to the five on Monday in place of Mamba and scored 24 points with 6 boards, 2 assists, a steal, 2 blocks, and 3 triples in 39 minutes. Rookie Caleb Houstan entered the starting lineup and played 31 minutes, but he didn't have much to show for it (3 points, 7 rebounds).
numberFire's models project Bol for 30.0 minutes and 32.4 FanDuel points on Wednesday if Bamba is active. Over the last five games without WCJ, Bol scored over 40 FanDuel points three times. The Thunder are allowing the eighth-most FanDuel points per game to the center position this season.
