Garland, Allen each score 23, Cavaliers rout Wizards 114-91

Darius Garland and Jarrett Allen scored 23 points apiece and Donovan Mitchell added 21 to lead the Cleveland Cavaliers to a 114-91 rout of the Washington Wizards

FEBRUARY 7, 2023 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Provides season-high scoring total Okoro ended with 20 points (7-9 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT), three rebounds, three assists and two steals over 29 minutes during Sunday's 122-103 victory over the Pacers.

Impact Okoro reached the 20-point mark for the first time this year, doing so while shooting efficiently from the field and chipping in on the defensive end. Given that he's a 34.8 percent shooter from three-point range for the season and owns a minuscule 12.6 percent usage rate, Okoro can't be expected to provide much of a regular impact in the scoring column, but he may have more opportunities to put up shots if Caris LeVert (hamstring) misses additional games.

Garland leads hot-shooting Cavs to 122-103 win over Pacers

Darius Garland scored 24 points, Isaac Okoro added 20 and the Cleveland Cavaliers made 15 3-pointers in a 122-103 rout of the Indiana Pacers

Empty performance Thursday Okoro posted five points (2-5 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 0-1 FT), one rebound and two assists in 26 minutes during Thursday's 113-95 victory over the Rockets.

Impact Okoro barely moved the needle in the victory, continuing what has been a lean season. Despite starting in 12 consecutive games, Okoro has scored more than 15 points only once, adding very little other than serviceable steal numbers. He can be considered in deeper formats due to the fact he has a solidified role. For those in standard leagues, he offers zero upside and can be safely left on waivers.

Cavaliers' Isaac Okoro finally seeing rewards of relentless work ethic Since the calendar flipped to 2023, no one has been better from 3-point range than Cavaliers swingman Isaac Okoro. At least, when counting e...

Shoots 100 percent from field Okoro registered 17 points (6-6 FG, 4-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, one assist and two blocks in 33 minutes during Wednesday's 115-114 loss to the Grizzlies.

Impact Okoro marked a new season high with his 17 points Wednesday. He hit all four of his three-point attempts and was lights out from the field. Still, his increased role should normalize with Donovan Mitchell's return to the court, which could be as soon as Friday. Okoro shouldn't be on fantasy managers' radar.

JANUARY 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Tallies three steals in loss Okoro racked up eight points (3-4 FG, 2-3 3Pt), three rebounds, one assist and three steals across 15 minutes during Saturday's 110-102 loss to Minnesota.

Impact Okoro played just 15 minutes in the loss yet managed to record a season-high three steals. Despite starting for the past six games, his minutes certainly don't reflect that of a typical starter. Over that period he is outside the top 200, making him a risky add, even in deeper formats.

JANUARY 15, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Rejoins starting lineup Okoro is in the starting five for Wednesday's game versus the Suns, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Impact Okoro will replace Lamar Stevens in the starting lineup Wednesday. The 21-year-old forward is averaging 7.5 points, 3.3 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 25.4 minutes across his previous eight starts.

JANUARY 4, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Heads back to bench Monday Okoro is not starting Monday against the Nets.

Impact Okoro will move back to the second unit following the return of Lamar Stevens (knee), marking the end of four straight starts for the former Auburn standout. Fresh off a season-high 15-point effort Friday against the Raptors, it's worth noting Okoro is averaging just 4.0 points across 17.0 minutes per game when playing off the bench this season.

DECEMBER 26, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Scores season-high 15 points Okoro ended Friday's 118-107 loss to the Raptors with 15 points (4-6 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 5-6 FT), three rebounds, two assists and two blocks across 20 minutes.

Impact Okoro started for the fourth straight game and scored seven points while making all three of his shots in the first quarter. He's scored in double figures three times in his last four contests and is averaging 11.8 points while making 51.3 percent of his shots in that span. He's seen an increased role for Cleveland of late but is still only averaging 18.9 minutes per game, well short of the 31.0 minutes he averaged over his first two seasons.

DECEMBER 22, 2022 • CLEVELAND.COM

Uninspiring performance Saturday Okoro recorded 10 points (5-11 FG, 0-4 3Pt), six rebounds, two blocks and one steal in 26 minutes during Saturday's 100-99 overtime victory over the Mavericks.

Impact Okoro moved into the starting lineup Saturday but was unable to bring much to the table. He typically provides a nice defensive presence for the Cavaliers, something that held true here with three combined steals and blocks. This was just his fifth start of the season, indicating that he will likely move back to the bench once Lamar Stevens (knee) returns to action.

DECEMBER 18, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Starting against Dallas Okoro is in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Mavericks, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Impact Okoro will replace Lamar Stevens (knee) in the starting unit and join the other regular starters Donovan Mitchell, Darius Garland, Evan Mobley and Jarrett Allen. Okoro has started just four games this season and is averaging 3.8 points, 3.0 rebounds and 0.8 steals across 25.5 minutes per game in that span.

DECEMBER 17, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Scores 11 points Wednesday Okoro supplied 11 points (5-7 FG, 1-3 3Pt), five rebounds, two assists and three steals in 22 minutes during Wednesday's 113-85 win over the 76ers.

Impact Okoro produced double-digit points for the third time all season. He's played at least 15 minutes in 11 straight contests and is averaging 6.6 points and 3.1 rebounds in 24.5 minutes during that span. While he's getting more playing time, he is still struggling from the field, and Wednesday was the first time since Nov. 16 that he made more than half his shot attempts.

DECEMBER 1, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Coming off bench Wednesday Okoro will come off the bench Wednesday against the 76ers, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Impact Coach J.B. Bickerstaff will opt to switch things up, giving Mamadi Diakite the start after an impressive stint in the G League. Okoro should still have an expanded role as the Cavaliers remain hit by injuries. Across his past 10 games, he's averaged 6.1 points and 2.9 rebounds in 24.8 minutes.

NOVEMBER 30, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Enters starting five Okoro is starting Monday's game against the Raptors, Cayleigh Griffin of AT&T SportsNet Southwest reports.

Impact Okoro is set to make his first start since Nov. 4 against the Pistons, finishing with nine points, four rebounds and one steal in 23 minutes. He should see a sizeable workload with Jarrett Allen (back), Kevin Love (thumb) and Lamar Stevens (illness) all ruled out.

NOVEMBER 29, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

No tangible production Sunday Okoro notched seven points (2-2 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds and one steal in 30 minutes during Sunday's 102-94 win over the Pistons.

Impact Okoro played at least 30 minutes for the second straight game but as per usual, offered very little in terms of tangible production. He has an uncanny knack for doing very little despite playing significant minutes, something that certainly doesn't lend itself to fantasy upside. Outside of deeper formats, he can be safely ignored, at least until he can string together a few productive games.

Rare source of points Okoro registered 13 points (4-8 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 3-5 FT), four rebounds and two assists in 29 minutes during Sunday's 113-87 victory over the Heat.

Impact Okoro enjoyed a solid shooting night from the field, which included a new season high in made threes. This was a surprisingly productive scoring night for the Auburn product who had yet to score in double figures prior to Sunday's clash. It would be unwise of fantasy managers to expect this type of scoring output from Okoro on a consistent basis given on his current role within this Cleveland rotation.
