Okogie (elbow) is listed as probable for Thursday's game against the Warriors.
EDGE Analysis
Okogie apparently picked up a minor elbow injury during Wednesday's loss to the Bucks, though it doesn't sound like it will keep him sidelined for the second half of Minnesota's back-to-back set. He's averaging 5.0 points and 3.6 rebounds across 19.4 minutes over his last five games.

Okogie had 12 points (3-8 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 5-8 FT), four rebounds, two steals and one assist in 26 minutes during Wednesday's 106-104 loss to the Bucks.
EDGE Analysis
Okogie played despite dealing with elbow soreness and snapped an eight-game streak of single-digit scoring. The absences of Jeff Teague (knee), Andrew Wiggins (illness) and Karl-Anthony Towns (toe) may have had something to do with this, but regardless Okogie will look to build on this solid effort heading into Thursday's matchup versus the Warriors.

Okogie will come off the bench Thursday against the Kings, Jason Jones of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Okogie has scored just 11 total points over his last three starts, so he'll shift to the bench for Thursday's clash. Treveon Graham is starting in Okogie's place.

Okogie scored just two points (0-7 FG, 2-2 FG) in 15 minutes in Monday's loss to Golden State.
EDGE Analysis
Okogie got off to a slow start and was benched in the second half as the T-Wolves turned to the bench to try and turn the game around. Like the T-Wolves (who have an 11-game losing streak), Okogie has struggled recently. He's averaging just four points and playing just 22.8 minutes over his last five games, shooting just 19.4 percent from the field.

Okogie had 13 points (3-8 FG, 3-5 3PT, 4-4 FT), five rebounds, one steal and one block in 31 minutes during Wednesday's 127-116 loss against the Jazz.
EDGE Analysis
Okogie has now scored in double digits in three of his last five games since moving to the starting lineup, although he is clearly a secondary scoring option on a roster featuring players such as Karl-Anthony Towns and Andrew Wiggins. He is also making 56.3 percent of his three-point attempts over that five-game span, a streak he will try to maintain Friday at home against the Clippers.

Okogie had 18 points (4-8 FG, 3-5 3PT, 7-7 FT), four rebounds and one assist in 25 minutes during Sunday's 142-125 loss at the Lakers.
EDGE Analysis
Okogie got his third start of the season and produced his best scoring output of the year thus far -- he has scored in double digits in two of his three starts to date. He will be a starter for the foreseeable future and that should increase his upside, as he now has played at least 25 minutes in each of his last three outings. Prior to his move to the starting unit, he had accomplished that feat just eight times in 17 previous contests.

Okogie is now seen as a part of Minnesota's regular starting lineup by the coaching staff, Dane Moore of ZoneCoverage.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Okogie started at shooting guard in Wednesday's game and it looks like he'll be a starter again Friday at Oklahoma City. The T-Wolves have moved Jeff Teague to the bench and are going with Jarrett Culver and Andrew Wiggins in the starting unit to join Robert Covington and Karl-Anthony Towns, according to the report. However, we'll have to see how often matchups may alter this new default lineup.

Okogie will start Wednesday's game against Dallas.
EDGE Analysis
Okogie will make his first appearance in the starting lineup since November 11th's game against Detroit. In two starts this year, the second-year pro's totaled nine points and eight rebounds in 45 minutes. While the totlas aren't impressive, there's a good chance that Okogie will be given ample opportunity to assert his defensive skills in a matchup with Luca Doncic.
