Okogie accumulated zero points (0-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt), one rebound and two steals in 12 minutes during Thursday's 132-121 loss to the Spurs.

EDGE Analysis

The Suns fell behind early in Thursday's matchup, and Okogie saw a reduced role in the blowout. While he made an impact defensively with two steals, he saw minimal shot volume and was held scoreless for the first time this season. He averaged 11.3 points and 4.0 rebounds in 29.3 minutes per game over the first four matchups of the year, so better days will likely be ahead when the Suns are playing in more competitive games.

Okogie produced 10 points (3-5 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds, three assists and one block over 32 minutes during Thursday's 100-95 loss to the Lakers.

EDGE Analysis

Okogie will often line up against the opposition's best player, but Thursday was a special exception, as there was no question that Kevin Durant and LeBron James would play one-on-one throughout the game. Instead, Okogie kept Taurean Prince and Rui Hachimura in check and occasionally tangled with Austin Reaves. Finding points will be a continuing issue for Okogie, but his defensive prowess is invaluable to the Suns.

Okogie finished with 17 points (7-9 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, one assist and one steal across 32 minutes during Tuesday's 108-104 victory over Golden State.

EDGE Analysis

Okogie's performance doesn't translate as well on paper, but his hustle and defensive prowess were evident throughout the game. Many might underestimate Okogie's impact, but his work on defense will be a huge difference-maker. Outside of an opposing center, Okogie will guard the opponent's most productive player on a nightly basis.

Okogie is in the starting lineup for Thursday's preseason matchup against the Lakers, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Okogie will move to the bench for Thursday's preseason game against the Blazers.

EDGE Analysis

Okogie has had an outstanding preseason through two games, and he certainly appears to be the favorite to start on opening night on the wings. Nassir Little is getting a start Thursday to showcase what he can bring to the table.

Okogie recorded 17 points (7-13 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 0-1 FT), six rebounds, three assists, two steals and two blocked shots across 24 minutes in Tuesday's 115-107 preseason loss to the Nuggets.

EDGE Analysis

Okogie won't be asked to score this much during the regular season when the team is fully healthy, but his two steals and two blocks demonstrate his defensive upside. In the starting five, Okogie will be asked to focus on defense, while Bradley Beal, Devin Booker and Kevin Durant look to make plays. Fantasy managers in need of defensive stats late in drafts can consider Okogie, but he's better suited for deep leagues.
