Isaac Okoro finished with 13 points (5-of-6 FGs), two rebounds, one steal and two three-pointers in 19 minutes in Game 4 against the Pacers on Sunday.
Okoro hasn’t seen the floor much during the playoffs, but the former top-five pick took on extra minutes in this game due to the lopsided score. He took advantage of the opportunity and helped turn a 41-point halftime deficit into only a 20-point loss. Okoro likely won’t play as much in Game 5 as Cleveland battles to keep its season alive, though he was one of the few bright spots in an ugly loss on Sunday.
Darius Garland, Max Strus, Isaac Okoro, Jarrett Allen and Evan Mobley will start against the Bulls on Tuesday.
With Donovan Mitchell (ankle) sidelined for this game, Okoro will slide back into the starting unit. He should play a significant role, but he doesn’t have a fantasy-friendly skillset. De’Andre Hunter should also take on extra minutes off the bench.
Darius Garland, Donovan Mitchell, Isaac Okoro, Evan Mobley and Jarrett Allen will start Friday’s game against the Pistons.
While Cleveland’s “core four” is available and will start Friday’s game, Max Strus is not. Isaac Okoro, who is most valuable as a defender, will replace him in the lineup. Okoro offers limited production on the offensive end of the floor, especially with Garland and Mitchell available. Mobley’s return pushes Dean Wade to the bench.
Darius Garland, Max Strus, Isaac Okoro, Evan Mobley and Jarrett Allen will start against the Nets on Tuesday.
Okoro will make a return to the starting lineup with both Donovan Mitchell (groin) and De’Andre Hunter (illness) sidelined. Okoro started twice in February, but wasn’t productive in either stint. He’ll provide defense on the perimeter, but that hasn’t translated to fantasy production throughout his career.
