Okogie submitted 12 points (4-8 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds, two steals and one assist across 26 minutes off the bench Monday in the Timberwolves' 113-109 loss to the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
Okogie has gone 10-for-10 at the free-throw line over the past two games, a major reason why he's been able to reach double figures in the scoring column in both contests. He continues to show little touch from the field (39.7 percent for the season) and three-point range (25 percent), however, making it difficult to rely on him putting up points with any sort of consistency.

Okogie accrued five points (2-10 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds and one assist in 18 minutes during Saturday's loss to the Thunder.
EDGE Analysis
In the first game of this back-to-back set, Okogie went for 17 points, six boards, four assists and three steals on 66.7 percent shooting, and 5-of-5 from the line. This second outing wasn't nearly as productive for the 21-year old. Okogie had been playing at a top 100 level in nine-category leagues over the last two weeks prior to this game, putting up solid hustle stats, and shooting 50.9 percent from the field over that span. With Robert Covington looking like a sought-after commodity, Okogie is an intriguing player to keep an eye on as the trade deadline approaches.

EDGE Analysis
Okogie got his first start in over a month and saw the most playing time he's had since Dec. 6. He acquitted himself well, coming just one point shy of his season high while also contributing solid numbers across the board.

Okogie had 16 points (7-11 FG, 1-3 3PT, 1-1 FT) and eight rebounds off the bench in Monday's loss to Denver.
EDGE Analysis
Okogie was one of the few bright spots for the Wolves on a night when they shot less than 42 percent from the field as a team. He registered his highest point total in six games, and his eight rebounds were his most in any game since Nov. 27. Okogie also added one assist and one steal in 27 minutes.

Okogie scored a team-high 16 points (5-11 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 4-5 FT) while adding five rebounds, five assists, four steals and a block in 30 minutes off the bench during Saturday's 139-109 loss to the Rockets.
EDGE Analysis
Pretty much the entire second half became garbage time after the undermanned Wolves found themselves down 16 points at the half, opening the door for Okogie to put together his best performance of the season. The second-year guard had scored in double digits only once in the prior 13 games and has trouble breaking 20 minutes as often as not, so don't look for a repeat of these numbers any time soon.

Okogie posted eight points (2-2 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, two assists, two steals and two blocks across 25 minutes during Thursday's 116-102 victory over the Trail Blazers.
EDGE Analysis
Okogie, who didn't miss a shot, racked up 25.6 fantasy points Thursday, which is his highest mark since Nov. 18. He also became just the sixth player this season to record a game with at least two steals and two blocks while shooting 100 percent from the field -- the others being Jarrett Allen, Marquese Chriss, Dwight Howard, Nerlens Noel and Matisse Thybulle.

Okogie had seven points (3-6 FG, 1-3 3Pt), five rebounds, three assists, one steal and one block in 21 minutes during Thursday's 99-84 win over the Warriors.
EDGE Analysis
Okogie was able to give it a go despite dealing with an elbow injury and contributed across every statistical category. Moreover, Okogie has now gone for double figures in scoring in consecutive contests, this after eight straight single-digit efforts to close out the month of December. He's mainly a factor on the defensive end, but Okogie could be in line to deliver another decent line during Sunday's matchup versus the Cavaliers.
