Okoro amassed 20 points (7-13 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT), four rebounds and one block over 31 minutes during Friday's 131-113 loss to Oklahoma City.
The 27-year-old started for the first time since March 8, and also for the first time since returning from a seven-game absence due to a knee injury. If deemed healthy, Okoro should remain in the staring lineup for a Chicago team that doesn't have much to play for in the final weeks of the regular season. He's averaging 11.0 points, 3.1 rebounds and 1.5 assists per game since the All-Star break, so Okoro might be a player worth targeting as a waiver pickup in deep formats.

Bulls' Isaac Okoro: Paces team with 24 points
Rotowire
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.
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.
