Okogie (COVID-19 health and safety protocols) started and finished with five points (2-4 FG, 1-2 3Pt), three rebounds and two blocks in 16 minutes Monday in the Timberwolves' 108-103 win over the Celtics.
EDGE Analysis
With eight other Timberwolves players in the health and safety protocols ahead of Monday's game -- including the team's top three stars in Karl-Anthony Towns, Anthony Edwards and D'Angelo Russell -- there was plenty of usage and minutes up for grabs. Okogie didn't benefit from either in his return from a three-game absence, as he saw the least amount of court time of the Wolves' five starters and was outpaced in minutes by bench players Jaylen Nowell (35), Greg Monroe (25) and Jake Layman (24). Minnesota is likely to return Patrick Beverley from the protocols Tuesday against the Knicks, and more players could follow soon after, so Okogie's fantasy value doesn't look as though it will notice a major spike.
