Isaac Okoro News, Rumors, Updates - Chicago Bulls

Paces team with 24 points Okoro finished with 24 points (8-10 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 6-8 FT), five rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal in 36 minutes during Wednesday's 134-118 victory over the Pelicans.

Impact Okoro took on an enhanced role with Josh Giddey (hamstring), Coby White (calf) and Zach Collins (toe) out, and he made the most of his opportunity. Although White should be back soon, Giddey and Collins are out for at least two weeks, and Okoro's promotion to the first unit is a strong sign that he'll be a primary pivot for the production gap moving forward.

Okoro's season-high 24 points lead short-handed Bulls past Pelicans 134-118

Isaac Okoro scored a season-high 24 points, Tre Jones added 20 points and 12 assists and the depleted Chicago Bulls topped the New Orleans Pelicans 134-118

Notches 14 points in win Okoro closed with 14 points (6-7 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 0-1 FT), one rebound, one assist and two steals over 19 minutes before fouling out of Sunday's 152-150 victory over Atlanta.

Impact With the Bulls mostly healthy again, Okoro's minutes have been held in check -- he's seen an average of 19.5 minutes per contest over his last two games. He's not a high-usage player, so despite the solid line Sunday, his value is likely going to be limited to deeper formats in the short term.

Scores 12 in win Okoro notched 12 points (6-7 FG), two rebounds, one assist and one steal across 31 minutes during Wednesday's 127-111 win over the Cavaliers.

Impact Okoro bounced back from his five-point showing Sunday, missing just one field goal en route to 12 points. Okoro does not provide much fantasy value, as he really is only good for scoring, but as he averages 8.6 points per game, there are likely other better and more consistent options on the waivers in most leagues.

Solid showing in win Okoro posted 15 points (7-11 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds and one assist across 26 minutes during Friday's 129-126 victory over the Hornets.

It was reported before Friday's matchup that Okoro would be on a 20-minute restriction, so the fact that he logged 26 minutes is a sign that he was feeling strong in his first game back.
