Impact Porzingis has missed four straight games due to an illness, allowing Onyeka Okongwu to see extended action. This past offseason, Porzingis was diagnosed with postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome, commonly referred to as POTS, and it can be a recurring ailment that zaps a person's energy. If Porzingis is cleared to suit up Friday, he'll likely face heavy restrictions for at least a few games.

Impact Given the current state of calf injuries in the NBA, it wouldn't be surprising to see Atlanta exercise caution with its oft-injured forward, but Johnson appears to be trending in the right direction after missing Wednesday's loss to the Clippers, which was his third absence of the campaign. Over his last 11 appearances, Johnson has averaged 25.7 points, 11.2 rebounds, 8.9 assists and 1.7 steals in 37.0 minutes per game.

Impact Toppin will miss his fourth consecutive contest due to a right shoulder sprain. The forward has appeared in just five games for the Hawks this season, logging an average of 3.4 minutes played, so his absence will not significantly impact Atlanta's rotation.

Kristaps Porzingis - Questionable for Friday Porzingis (illness) is questionable for Friday's game versus the Nuggets, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
Impact Porzingis has missed the past four games due to an illness, but it appears he's finally feeling better and could get out there Friday night. He'll likely be a game-time call, but if he can play, Onyeka Okongwu would head back to the second unit and Mouhamed Gueye's minutes would dip.

Luke Kennard - Drops 11 off bench Kennard amassed 11 points (4-5 FG, 3-4 3Pt), five rebounds and two assists in 21 minutes during Wednesday's 115-92 loss to the Clippers.
Impact While Kennard's production in the absence of Trae Young (knee) has been rather disappointing, he continues to shoot well from beyond the arc, averaging 1.4 threes made on a 42.6 percent clip. He will continue to come off the bench for the Hawks behind the likes of Dyson Daniels and Nickeil Alexander-Walker, and isn't worth rostering unless you are in need of some production in the three-pointers category.

Onyeka Okongwu - Held to seven points in loss Okongwu notched seven points (3-12 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 0-1 FT), nine rebounds and five assists over 34 minutes during Wednesday's 115-92 loss to the Clippers.
Impact Okongwu had a tough night banging in the post with Ivica Zubac, and he didn't even get his first shot to drop until the second quarter. It was an off-night for a guy who is having a fantastic season, so managers can expect a bounce-back performance Friday against the Nuggets.
