Okogie recorded 16 points (3-8 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 9-12 FT), 10 rebounds, three assists and three steals across 31 minutes during Friday's 102-97 loss to Portland.
EDGE Analysis
With Cody Martin appearing to aggravate a groin injury, Okogie stepped up off Charlotte's bench with his first double-double of the campaign. He even fell just one point shy of the team lead in scoring. That said, the 26-year-old swingman hasn't played a steady role for the Hornets this season, so fantasy managers should take a wait-and-see approach before considering adding Okogie from waiver wires despite Friday's outburst.

The Suns traded Okogie and three second-round picks to the Hornets on Wednesday in exchange for Nick Richards and a second-round pick, Shams Charania of ESPN announced.
EDGE Analysis
While the Suns get much-needed help at center, it appears Okogie will be buried on the depth chart behind Cody Martin and Josh Green. In 25 games for the Suns this season, Okogie averaged 6.0 points, 2.7 rebounds, 0.6 assists, 0.8 steals and 0.4 blocks over 14.1 minutes. Okogie won't be available for Wednesday's game in Utah, so his first chance to make his Hornets debut will come Friday in Chicago.

Okogie closed Saturday's 109-105 loss to the Warriors with 11 points (4-8 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-4 FT), nine rebounds, two blocks and two steals over 31 minutes.
EDGE Analysis
Okogie co-led the Suns in rebounding Saturday with Mason Plumlee, and the former was one board shy of registering his first double-double of the season. Royce O'Neale left Saturday's game after rolling his left ankle, and a prolonged absence would open the door for Okogie to see more playing time off the bench.

Okogie notched 11 points (3-5 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT), five rebounds, two assists, one block and two steals across 25 minutes during Monday's 109-99 loss to Orlando.
EDGE Analysis
The Suns have dropped four games in a row as they continue to be battered by injuries, mainly to Kevin Durant (calf) and Bradley Beal (calf). Okogie has been a bright spot, however, producing averages of 14.3 points, 6.0 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 1.5 steals and 1.5 three-pointers in that span. He'll continue to be on the streaming radar until the Suns get some reinforcements.

Okogie won't start Sunday's game against the Timberwolves, Alan Horton of the Timberwolves Radio Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bradley Beal (calf) and Kevin Durant (calf) remain sidelined, but the Suns are rolling out a two-center lineup with Mason Plumlee and Jusuf Nurkic surrounded by Tyus Jones, Devin Booker and rookie Ryan Dunn. In four appearances off the bench this season, Okogie has averaged 10.5 points, 3.8 rebounds and 1.3 steals in 15.3 minutes per game.

Okogie registered 15 points (4-12 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 6-9 FT), nine rebounds, one assist and one steal over 30 minutes during Friday's 99-83 loss to the Thunder.
EDGE Analysis
Okogie continues to produce while the rest of the first unit continues to struggle. Even with a move to the bench in the last game, Okogie fired a season-high 25 points over 29 minutes, prompting a move back into the starting five. His rebounding totals have been a great aid in the effort to make up for Kevin Durant's (calf) lost production.

Okogie is in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Thunder.
EDGE Analysis
Okogie jumps to the starting lineup in place of Royce O'Neale after delivering his best outing of the campaign in the loss to the Kings on Wednesday. He finished with 25 points and eight rebounds off the bench in that contest.

Okogie notched 25 points (10-15 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 2-3 FT), eight rebounds, one assist and two steals across 28 minutes during Wednesday's 127-104 loss to the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
The Suns are flailing amid injuries to Bradley Beal (calf), Kevin Durant (calf) and Grayson Allen (hamstring), but Okogie did an excellent job in propping up the offense. He led the team in points by a wide margin and was the second-best rebounder as well. His stat line is an indication that his game is rounding into form after a hamstring injury held him out for the first eight games of the season.

Okogie (hamstring) scored six points (2-3 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT) in five minutes off the bench in Friday's 114-113 win over the Mavericks.
EDGE Analysis
Okogie missed the Suns' first five games of the season while recovering from a right hamstring strain before he was cleared to play ahead of last Saturday's 103-97 win over the Trail Blazers. He didn't play in that contest nor any of the two games that followed, but the absence of rookie Ryan Dunn (ankle) opened up a spot in the rotation for Okogie on Friday. Dunn is viewed as day-to-day, and if he returns to action Sunday versus the Kings, Okogie will likely drop back out of the rotation.

Okogie (hamstring) isn't listed on the injury report for Saturday's game against the Trail Blazers, Gerald Bourguet of GoPHNX.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Okogie is cleared to make his season debut after missing the first five games of the season due to a right hamstring strain. Okogie will likely see a limited role at first, as Ryan Dunn and Royce O'Neale have thrived to start the campaign.
