Okogie closed with zero points (0-1 FG) and one block in seven minutes during Tuesday's 128-125 loss to the Pelicans.
EDGE Analysis
Okogie continues to disappoint, and his playing time finally reflected what has been highly inadequate production thus far this season. Despite having an opportunity to start over the past few weeks, Okogie has not even sniffed 12-team value, making him a non-factor in just about every league moving forward.

Okogie will come off the bench Tuesday against the Knicks.
EDGE Analysis
With Patrick Beverley (conditioning) returning to the starting five, Okogie will be pushed to the bench while Malik Beasley remains a starter also. In his 15 appearances off the bench, Okogie has averaged 2.1 points and 1.9 rebounds in 12.0 minutes.

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.

Okogie (COVID-19 health and safety protocols) will be available and start Monday game against the Celtics, Dane Moore of BringMeTheNews.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
While the Wolves won't get Patrick Beverley (conditioning) back Monday, they will have Okogie back in action following a stint in the league's health and safety protocols. He hasn't played since Dec. 17 so Okogie could face some limitations, but it's an all-hands-on-deck situation for Minnesota, which still has several key players stuck in protocols.

Okogie (conditioning) is questionable for Monday's game against the Celtics.
EDGE Analysis
Okogie returned to practice Sunday but is still working on his conditioning following his lengthy absence. Even if he's able to suit up Monday, it wouldn't be surprising to see the Timberwolves monitor his workload.

Okogie (COVID-19 protocols) returned to practice Sunday, Alan Horton of the Timberwolves Radio Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Okogie spent a week in the league's health and safety protocols, but his return to practice signals that he's now cleared the protocols. Whether he's available for Monday's game against Boston remains to be seen.

Okogie entered the NBA's health and safety protocols Sunday, Dane Moore of BlueWire reports.
EDGE Analysis
Okogie is the third Timberwolves player to enter the league's healthy and safety protocols, joining Anthony Edwards and Taurean Prince. He will miss Sunday's game against the Mavericks and is in line to miss both of Minnesota's games this week unless he can produce two negative COVID-19 tests in a 24-hour period.

Okogie (coach's decision) didn't leave the bench Sunday in the Timberwolves' 116-111 win over the Trail Blazers.
EDGE Analysis
With single-digit minutes in each of the Wolves' previous three games, Okogie was barely clinging to a rotation spot heading into Sunday. The return of D'Angelo Russell (ankle) from a three-game absence proved to be the death knell for Okogie, who didn't play for the first time since early November due to a non-injury-related reason. The defensive-minded Okogie looks like he'll be behind all of Russell, Anthony Edwards, Malik Beasley and Jaden McDaniels for playing time at either shooting guard or small forward.

Okogie will come off the bench for Wednesday's game against the Wizards.
EDGE Analysis
Okogie made a spot start Monday against Indiana with Jarred Vanderbilt sidelined, and while he racked up two steals and two blocks, he didn't do much on the offensive end, finishing with just two points on 1-of-4 shooting. With Vanderbilt back in the mix Wednesday, Okogie will shift back to his usual bench role.

Okogie was limited to two points (1-4 FG, 0-2 3Pt), four assists, three rebounds, two steals and two blocks over 33 minutes in a 100-98 victory over the Pacers on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
With Jarred Vanderbilt (illness) unavailable, Okogie got the spot start and was unimpressive. It was easily the most minutes he has played this season, which could be an excuse for the poor showing given a lack of prior playing time and flow within the offense. The defensive savant will only appear on fantasy radars if he begins logging this kind of time consistently.
