EDGE Analysis
Okogie totaled just five points over his last two appearances, but he saw more looks from the floor Tuesday and converted 50 percent of his field-goal attempts. He's played at least 20 minutes in four of the last six matchups and has averaged 10.7 points, 5.0 rebounds and 2.7 assists in 19.3 minutes per game during that time.

Okogie finished with 28 points (8-14 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 8-10 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and one block across 23 minutes in Wednesday's 125-98 loss to the Celtics.
EDGE Analysis
Okogie appeared to be one of the top candidates to see his a role reduction Wednesday with Chris Paul (heel) and Torrey Craig (groin) making their returns from multi-game absences, but that didn't materialize. Instead, Okogie was one of the few bright spots in the blowout loss, as he surpassed his previous career-high total in scoring by five points thanks to some sharp shooting from the charity stripe and three-point line. The Celtics were able to turn the game into a blowout by halftime, which likely opened up more playing time and usage for Okogie than anticipated while none of the starters cleared 25 minutes. As such, fantasy managers should view Okogie's performance as an extreme outlier, though the 24-year-old has likely at least bought himself some security in head coach Monty Williams' rotation.

Okogie finished Monday's 130-111 loss to the Mavericks with 12 points (4-8 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-4 FT), two rebounds, three assists, one block and two steals in 28 minutes.
EDGE Analysis
Okogie shot with efficiency from the field and knocked down a pair of threes, notching his first converted triple since Nov. 20 against the Knicks. Monday also marked his first time scoring in double figures this season. Okogie has been seeing a significant bump in playing time within the first week of December, logging 26 and now 28 minutes in his first two matchups after averaging 6.5 minutes through his first 17 games of the 2022-23 campaign.

EDGE Analysis
Okogie tied his season-high seven points while also contributing a season-high two steals. However, his role is set to be reduced with Landry Shamet (concussion) expected back Saturday and Chris Paul (heel) shortly thereafter.

Okogie is considered questionable for Friday's game against the Jazz due to a sore right hamstring, Kellan Olson of ArizonaSports.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Okogie only saw nine minutes of action in Monday's loss to the Heat, so it's unclear if the hamstring issue popped up during the game or sometime during practice. Okogie has only eclipsed 10 minutes in two games this season, so if he's forced to miss Friday's contest, his absence shouldn't affect the Suns' rotation much.

Okogie racked up one rebound, one assist and one steal over seven minutes during Monday's 113-112 loss to the Heat.
EDGE Analysis
Okogie continues to be an afterthought for fantasy managers after logging fewer than 10 minutes for the fourth consecutive game. Given his season high in scoring is just four points and he has failed to score in seven games, his value even in deeper formats is non-existent at the moment.

Okogie (hamstring) is in the starting five Wednesday versus the Kings.
EDGE Analysis

Okogie (hamstring) is probable for Wednesday's preseason game against the Kings, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Okogie played through the injury during Monday's preseason game against the Nuggets, posting three points (1-4 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT) and one rebound in 15 minutes. He turned the ball over four times. The 20th overall draft pick in 2018 may struggle to be an every-game player for Phoenix.
