Okogie posted 16 points (6-11 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four steals, three rebounds and one assist in 37 minutes during Friday's overtime loss to the Celtics.
EDGE Analysis
Okogie (personal) re-entered the starting lineup after missing Wednesday's game and had one of his most efficient games of the season. With Malik Beasley (hamstring) out for the next four to six weeks, the third-year guard should continue to start and play anywhere between 20 and 30 minutes a game for the last-place Timberwolves. As long as Okogie's starting, deep league fantasy managers should feel free to stream him, if low-end points, three-pointers and steals are needed.

Okogie is listed in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Celtics, Jon Krawczynski of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Okogie will re-enter the Wolves' starting lineup following a one-game absence due to a personal matter. As such, Jake Layman will shift back to the bench.

Okogie (personal) is available for Friday's game against the Celtics, Chris Hine of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
Okogie was probable for Friday's matchup, so it's not very surprising to see him suit up after missing one game due to a personal matter. Okogie had started the two games prior to his absence and averaged 4.5 points and 2.5 rebounds in 22.5 minutes per contest during that time.

Okogie (personal) is expected to play Friday against Boston.
EDGE Analysis
The Wolves' official injury report lists Okogie as probable, so it looks like it'll only be a one-game absence due to a personal matter. Prior to Wednesday night, Okogie had started the previous two games, totaling nine points, five rebounds, one steal and one block in 45 minutes.

Okogie (personal) is out Wednesday against the Pacers.
EDGE Analysis
Okogie is a late scratch due to a personal matter. Jake Layman will start in his place and should be in line for extra minutes as well.

Okogie is questionable for Wednesday's matchup against the Pacers due to a personal matter.
EDGE Analysis
Okogie has started the past two games for the Timberwolves. If he's sidelined -- a distinct possibility -- Jarrett Culver and Jake Layman could see more minutes. The Wolves have already announced that Layman will get the start at small forward.
