CHI • Forward-Guard • #35
11 days ago
Okoro is known for his defense more than his offense, but he made an impact as a scorer in this game. This was his highest-scoring game as a Bull and the second-highest scoring game of his career. Okoro had an excellent game and helped Chicago get the win. He’ll continue to start, but he won’t continue to score at this rate. He isn’t worth picking up based on this performance.

Okoro was back in the Bulls’ lineup after an eight-game absence. While it was announced before the game that he would be limited to 20 minutes, he wound up playing 26. The 15 points were four shy of his season-high, but the former lottery pick did not record any defensive stats in Charlotte. With Ayo Dosunmu (thumb) not seeing action, Patrick Williams picked up the slack off the bench, finishing with 16 points, five rebounds, one assist, one steal, one block and three three-pointers in 26 minutes. While both had encouraging nights at the office, neither Okoro nor Williams should be considered in most redraft leagues.

Okoro is back and will make his first appearance in a game since November 21. His return coincides with Ayo Dosunmu being sidelined by a thumb injury. However, Okoro will be restricted to 20 minutes, so his fantasy value won’t receive a significant boost.

Okoro will suit up for the first time since November 21, and in his return from a back injury, he’s expected to be limited to 20 minutes. Okoro is averaging 8.2 points and 2.7 rebounds per game as a full-time starter in his first season with the Bulls. Despite being a mainstay in the starting unit, he’s not a player fantasy managers should consider worth rostering.

Okoro has missed the last eight games with a back injury, but could be back and starting on Friday, with Kevin Huerter (hamstring) still out. Okoro has averaged 8.2 points, 2.7 rebounds, and 1.6 assists in 15 games this season.

Sunday’s game will be the eighth that Okoro has missed, which opens up a spot in the starting lineup. While Julian Phillips was the most recent replacement, it was because the Bulls did not have Ayo Dosunmu. Dosunmu is probable to play on Sunday, so he’ll likely move into the starting lineup if cleared.

Okoro is likely to miss an eighth consecutive game as he continues to deal with left lumbar radiculopathy. While the absence of his production does not affect fantasy basketball, the Bulls have been forced to make do without their best perimeter defender. Julian Phillips has moved into the starting lineup, but he is not worth picking up in fantasy leagues.

Okoro is set to miss his seventh consecutive game with a back injury. With Ayo Dosunmu also out, expect the Bulls to lean on Coby White. Julian Phillips could also see additional minutes off the bench, but isn’t worth streaming.

Okoro has missed Chicago’s last six games, and the doubtful tag suggests he’ll miss a seventh on Friday. His availability does not affect fantasy basketball, but it does impact the minutes available to Ayo Dosunmu and Julian Phillips. While Dosunmu should already be rostered in some 12-team leagues, Phillips is not productive enough to merit streaming.

Okoro hasn’t played since November 21 due to a back injury. With the 24-year-old small forward sidelined against the Nets on Wednesday, Ayo Dosunmu will continue to take on a bigger role for the Bulls.

While Okoro’s production has not affected fantasy basketball this season, his injury has opened up a place in the Bulls’ starting lineup. With Kevin Huerter also out, the Bulls will rely even more on Ayo Dosunmu to fill the void. Also, Julian Phillips will have more minutes available if Okoro misses another game.

Okoro will miss a fifth straight game, which won’t impact many fantasy lineups. However, his continued absence will leave a starting spot open, which has lately been filled by Kevin Huerter, who will continue to be worth streaming with Okoro unavailable.

Okoro has missed the last three games with left lumbar radiculopathy. The 24-year-old small forward remains without a timetable for return. Ayo Dosunmu is probable, but should start again Saturday against the Pacers.

Friday’s game will be the third that Okoro has missed due to left lumbar radiculopathy, and he does not have a return timeline. Ayo Dosunmu has been the replacement in the starting lineup, and that will remain the case on Friday. Even when Okoro is healthy, Dosunmu has been the superior option for fantasy managers.

Okoro has missed Chicago’s last two games, and the doubtful tag suggests the streak will reach three on Friday. Ayo Dosunmu has been the replacement in the starting lineup and will retain that role. Already worth rostering in deep leagues, Ayo is worth considering in some 12-team formats as well.

Okoro will miss a second straight game, leaving an opening in the starting lineup. Ayo Dosunmu has moved into the starting lineup, further enhancing the fantasy value of a player who was already worth rostering in deeper leagues. If Dosunmu is on your waiver wire, add him ahead of Monday’s slate.

Okoro is out with a back injury. While his absence doesn’t affect fantasy basketball, it does open up a spot in the Bulls’ starting lineup. Julian Phillips is a potential replacement, especially with Patrick Williams also out. There’s no need to consider streaming Phillips.

Okoro is averaging 8.2 points and 2.7 rebounds per game this year. The 24-year-old small forward simply isn’t doing enough to be rostered in most fantasy leagues. Okoro, who is questionable for Saturday’s game against the Wizards with a back injury, is ranked outside the top-200 so far this season.

Still ranked outside the top-200 in eight- and nine-cat formats, Okoro has not done enough to merit being rostered in most fantasy leagues. However, he’s capable of having the occasional productive night, as was the case on Wednesday. Okoro hit double figures for the second time in three games and the fifth time this season, halfway to his total for the entire 2024-25 season. There’s no need to consider adding Okoro, but his performance against the Pistons was on par with what Bulls fans hoped they would get from Patrick Williams (7/5/1/1/1) consistently.

Okoro has hit double figures in consecutive games for the first time this season. Tuesday’s point total was a season-high for the wing, whose defensive ability is why he was inserted into the starting lineup to begin the season. Okoro still isn’t at the point where he can be considered in most fantasy leagues, but his career is in a better place than it was with the Cavaliers.

Okoro is dealing with a sore knee and will not play in Chicago’s preseason finale. The knee first became an issue during Tuesday’s loss to the Nuggets, with the Bulls holding Okoro out for the entirety of the second half. Hopefully, he’s healthy enough to contribute when Chicago opens the regular season on October 22 against the Pistons. That said, while Okoro can be an effective defender, he does not offer enough offensive value to impact fantasy basketball.

Coby White (calf) isn’t playing, so it’s unclear if Huerter or Okoro will end up as the fifth starter for Chicago this season. Huerter has more upside in fantasy basketball, but Okoro is the superior defender, which is much needed in this lineup. The hope is that White is available to play by the end of the preseason, so Huerter and Okoro could view the next few preseason games as a tryout for the final starting spot.

Okoro has been a solid wing defender for Cleveland since they drafted him with the No. 5 pick in 2020. Now, he’ll get a fresh start in Chicago, where he’ll join a crowded wing rotation. Kevin Huerter was the starting small forward at the end of last season, and the Bulls just added Noa Essengue in the draft. Okoro will likely be a reserve wing that helps out the defense, but he’s never been much of a contributor in fantasy basketball.

Okoro hasn’t seen the floor much during the playoffs, but the former top-five pick took on extra minutes in this game due to the lopsided score. He took advantage of the opportunity and helped turn a 41-point halftime deficit into only a 20-point loss. Okoro likely won’t play as much in Game 5 as Cleveland battles to keep its season alive, though he was one of the few bright spots in an ugly loss on Sunday.

While Cleveland’s “core four” is available and will start Friday’s game, Max Strus is not. Isaac Okoro, who is most valuable as a defender, will replace him in the lineup. Okoro offers limited production on the offensive end of the floor, especially with Garland and Mitchell available. Mobley’s return pushes Dean Wade to the bench.

Okoro will make a return to the starting lineup with both Donovan Mitchell (groin) and De’Andre Hunter (illness) sidelined. Okoro started twice in February, but wasn’t productive in either stint. He’ll provide defense on the perimeter, but that hasn’t translated to fantasy production throughout his career.
