Through 12 games as a starter this season, Okogie owns averages of 7.5 points, 2.5 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 1.3 triples and 1.9 steals per game.

Tallies four steals in win Okogie finished with 11 points (5-9 FG, 1-3 3Pt), three rebounds, one assist and four steals over 21 minutes during Friday's 140-116 win over Portland.

Impact Okogie remained in the starting lineup, tallying at least four steals for the second time this season. While he has been a key piece for the Rockets, especially on the defensive end, his playing time typically restricts him from being a suitable fantasy asset. Tari Eason was forced to leave the game due to a hip injury, potentially opening up a few extra minutes for Okogie. However, this is unlikely to change the fact that he can be treated as nothing more than a potential streaming candidate.

Scores 13 in win Okogie ended Wednesday's 124-109 victory over Memphis with 13 points (5-9 FG, 3-5 3Pt), three rebounds, three assists and two steals in 24 minutes.

Impact Okogie has worked wonders for the Rockets since joining the starting lineup, averaging 9.4 points, 1.4 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 1.4 steals and 2.0 threes made in five games (Houston is 5-0 in that stretch). In a lineup headlined by Kevin Durant, Alperen Sengun and Amen Thompson, Okogie is not needed to score as much offensively but is capable of hitting open shots if necessary, shooting 51.7 percent from the field and 55.6 percent from three in those five starts.

Scores 10 points with two triples Okogie provided 10 points (4-5 FG), one rebound, two assists, two triples and one turnover through 24 minutes as a starter during Wednesday's 139-121 win over the Raptors.

Impact "[Okogie] knows his role," Rockets head coach Ime Udoka stated during a recent interview, explaining his decision to move Okogie into the first unit. "He's keeping it simple. He brings the physicality and aggressiveness on the defensive side of the ball. Knows how to play off other guys and then fits in with the areas we like: Crashing the glass, slashing, making plays, second opportunities." Since being inserted into the first unit, the Rockets have rattled off two straight wins, so for now, he looks to be locked in as a starter.

Enters starting five Okogie is in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Nets, Lachard Binkley of SI.com reports.

Impact Okogie will move into the starting lineup after coming off the bench in the first two games, during which he averaged 9.0 points, 3.0 rebounds and 1.0 assists in 18.5 minutes. He'll replace big man Steven Adams, giving the Rockets a smaller and quicker starting unit.

Scores eight points Tuesday Okogie racked up eight points (1-3 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 5-6 FT), two rebounds, one assist and one block over 20 minutes during Tuesday's 125-124 double-overtime loss to the Thunder.

Impact Okogie saw a decent role for his Houston debut, though that could change when the Rockets get some reinforcements back -- Jae'Sean Tate (ankle) and Dorian Finney (ankle) are currently still sidelined. Okogie is more of a defensive specialist with a low usage rate, limiting his overall upside in fantasy formats.
