Okogie (knee) put up 11 points (3-5 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 4-5 FT) to go with five rebounds, two blocks, one assist and one steal in 24 minutes Monday in the Timberwolves' 112-102 win over the Jazz.
EDGE Analysis
Okogie shook off a sore left knee to deliver a quality effort off the bench, filling out each of the five major counting categories in a game for the first time all season. With Jake Layman exiting Monday with a foot injury and potentially at risk of missing time, the Timberwolves could rely more heavily on Okogie in the games to come.

EDGE Analysis
Okogie had an off night with his shot but still contributed a season-high 10 rebounds. He continues to be a sparkplug off the bench, but his value has mostly been on defense.

Okogie is not in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against San Antonio, Jace Frederick of St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.
EDGE Analysis
Okogie made his second start of the season Monday and had two points, four rebounds and three turnovers in 25 minutes, but he'll return to a bench role Wednesday. Jeff Teague (illness) returns from a four-game absence, which figures to cut into Okogie's playing time (27.3 minutes over the last six games).

Okogie churned out 17 points (4-12 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 7-11 FT), eight rebounds, four assists, one steal and one block in 36 minutes Sunday in the Timberwolves' 100-98 loss to the Nuggets.
EDGE Analysis
For the second straight game, Okogie exceeded the 30-minute mark, establishing or matching new season highs in points and rebounds along the way. He'll likely lose out on some playing time once one or both of the point guards who were unavailable Sunday (Jeff Teague and Shabazz Napier) return to action, but Okogie at least looks like a decent streaming option in weekly leagues. Minnesota is one of 11 teams that plays four games this week.
