Drops 12 points in win Okoro posted 12 points (4-5 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), a rebound, an assist and a steal over 30 minutes in Monday's 130-101 win over the Nets.

Stays hot from deep in return Okoro (knee) accumulated 13 points (4-8 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal in 25 minutes during Friday's 115-105 win over the Wizards.
Impact Although it was sharpshooter Georges Niang who started the second half of Sunday's loss to the Heat after Evan Mobley (ankle) departed, Okoro who drew the starting nod and chipped in a full stat line in his return from a two-game absence with a knee injury. In 15 games as a starter this season, Okoro is averaging 6.9 points, 2.2 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 0.7 steals and 1.5 three-pointers in 22.1 minutes per contest. The 23-year-old three-and-D wing is shooting a career-high 48.3 percent from beyond the arc over 22 games overall this year, and he'll remain a decent source of triples and swipes for fantasy managers if Mobley remains unavailable for Monday's matchup with the Nets.

Game-time decision Saturday Okoro (knee) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Hornets, Evan Dammarell of DownEuclid.com reports.
Impact Okoro injured his left knee during Thursday's 126-114 win over the Nuggets, and his status for Saturday's game won't likely be known until he goes through pregame warmups.

Impact Okoro didn't start the second half due to the injury, and the Cavaliers are taking the safe route here by ruling him out for the rest of the game.

Remains out Wednesday Okoro (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Pelicans.

NOVEMBER 20 • ROTOWIRE

Impact Okoro has been downgraded from questionable to out Tuesday due to a sprained left ankle he suffered against Boston. With Caris LeVert (knee) also out, Georges Niang should see increased playing time. Okoro's next chance to suit up is Wednesay's matchup with New Orleans.

Impact Okoro continues to start for the Cavaliers, having now run with the opening unit for six consecutive games. However, despite the opportunity, Okoro has failed to make the most of the situation, scoring double-digits only once, adding a combined five defensive stats. While he is likely to remain in the starting lineup, there is no indication his production will head north any time soon.
NOVEMBER 14 • ROTOWIRE
Sticking in starting lineup Okoro will start Friday's game against the Warriors, Serena Winters of FanDuel Sports Network Ohio reports.
Impact Dean Wade (illness) has been cleared to return following a multi-game absence, but Okoro will stick in the starting lineup for at least one more contest. Over his last two starts, Okoro has totaled 23 points, seven rebounds, five assists and a steal in 50 minutes.
