EDGE Analysis

Okogie recorded six points (1-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 4-4 FT) and six rebounds during Thursday's win versus the Warriors.
EDGE Analysis
Okogie garnered his 14th straight start but once again wasn't a factor offensively. The forward has picked up the slack though on the boards, as he's averaging 5.7 rebounds over his past three outings. Throughout the past six games, Okogie is averaging 6.8 points.

Okogie finished with 13 points (4-6 FG, 3-4 3PT, 2-2 FT), two rebounds and two blocks in a 130-105 loss to the Bucks on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
In the Timberwolves' last four games, Okogie's started and been a force defensively for his team, averaging 2.3 steals and 1.0 blocks over that stretch. The 22-year-old's shot effectively from deep, making exactly 50 percent of his three-pointers in April. As long as Okogie can stay healthy, expect the forward to remain in the starting rotation for the rest of the season.
