CHI • Shooting Guard and Small Forward • #35

Sunday’s season finale will be the third consecutive game that Okoro has missed with a quad contusion. Leonard Miller remained in the starting lineup for Friday’s loss to the Magic, and that should be the case on Sunday. For those in active fantasy leagues, Miller is worth rostering.

Okoro exited Tuesday’s win over the Wizards during the first half with a left quad contusion and did not return. His absence could push Patrick Williams into the starting lineup. A disappointment for most of this season, Williams scored 20 points on Tuesday.

After coming off the bench in his first game back from a knee injury that cost him just over two weeks, Okoro was in the Bulls’ starting lineup on Friday. And he had one of his most productive games of the season, recording his third 20-point game while shooting 3-of-5 from beyond the arc. The Bulls have better offensive options, but these final weeks of the season represent a good opportunity for Okoro to be more aggressive on that end of the floor. The Bulls visit the Grizzlies on Saturday, but that could be an injury-management day for Okoro.

Okoro played through a questionable tag on Wednesday and ended up logging 23 minutes off the bench. That was his first game back after missing seven in a row. He should play a similar role in this game, though that isn’t enough for him to be considered a target in fantasy hoops.

Okoro was also questionable ahead of Wednesday’s loss to the 76ers, a game in which he played 23 minutes. With Jalen Smith (calf) done for the season, Okoro could be back in the starting lineup on Friday if he’s able to play.

Okoro is back after a seven-game absence, which will likely cause a change to the Bulls’ starting lineup. Nick Richards could be headed to the bench, but the equation likely changes if Philadelphia’s Joel Embiid is available.

Okoro was initially listed as doubtful after missing Chicago’s last seven games, but he could return to take on Philadelphia. Nick Richards has been starting recently, but he will likely return to playing a role off the bench if Okoro is cleared to play.

Okoro has missed Chicago’s last six games with a right knee injury, and he’s likely to remain out on Monday. Leonard Miller has moved into the starting lineup and should retain that role.

Okoro is likely to miss a fifth straight game, while Sexton has a chance to take the court after missing four straight of his own. Leonard Miller should continue to see increased run while Okoro is out, while Rob Dillingham should be in line for more minutes while Sexton is sidelined.

As expected, Okoro will sit out against Memphis, marking a fourth straight absence. Leonard Miller has nearly averaged a double-double in three straight starts, making Miller a worthwhile add off the waiver wire while he’s with the first unit.

Okoro has missed Chicago’s last three games, and the doubtful tag suggests that he’s unlikely to play on Monday. Leonard Miller has moved into the starting lineup, hitting double figures in points in three straight games. He is worth streaming in deep leagues until Okoro returns.

Okoro remains out for another game, which means Jalen Smith will get another start, raising his fantasy ceiling. Smith should be rostered in 12-team formats now that he’s healthy.

While Okoro has not done enough to merit rostering in most fantasy leagues, he is a starter when healthy. Jalen Smith, who offers a higher fantasy ceiling, moved into the starting lineup with Okoro out for Tuesday’s win over the Warriors and played 34 minutes.

Okoro was a late addition to the Bulls’ injury report, and now he is officially out. Jalen Smith could return to the starting lineup, but Leonard Miller is another option since Smith is still under a minutes restriction.

Okoro has been added to the Bulls’ injury report one hour before the scheduled tip time, which is rarely good news. While his absence would not affect fantasy basketball, it would open a spot in the starting lineup. One option for the Bulls would be to start Jalen Smith and Guerschon Yabusele together, going with a bigger starting lineup.

Okoro missed the Bulls’ last game before the All-Star break with left knee soreness, but returned for the game against the Raptors Thursday. The 25-year-old small forward had 16 points and made three three-pointers. It was a good offensive game for Okoro, but he isn’t consistent enough to be worth rostering in most fantasy leagues.

Okoro did not play in the Bulls’ final game before the All-Star break, as he was dealing with a sore left knee. His return will likely push Patrick Williams back to the bench. Williams should only be rostered in dynasty leagues.

Okoro was added to the injury report Wednesday morning with left knee soreness. The 25-year-old small forward is questionable for the game against the Celtics. With Josh Giddey, Tre Jones and Jalen Smith all listed as doubtful, the Bulls could be severely shorthanded on Wednesday.

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.
