Isaac Okoro

Okoro was back in the Bulls' lineup after an eight-game absence. While it was announced before the game that he would be limited to 20 minutes, he wound up playing 26. The 15 points were four shy of his season-high, but the former lottery pick did not record any defensive stats in Charlotte. With Ayo Dosunmu (thumb) not seeing action, Patrick Williams picked up the slack off the bench, finishing with 16 points, five rebounds, one assist, one steal, one block and three three-pointers in 26 minutes. While both had encouraging nights at the office, neither Okoro nor Williams should be considered in most redraft leagues.

Okoro is back and will make his first appearance in a game since November 21. While his return means that Ayo Dosunmu will head back to the bench, Okoro will be restricted to 20 minutes. Those who have Dosunmu on their fantasy rosters should hold onto him for that reason.

Okoro will suit up for the first time since November 21, and in his return from a back injury, he's expected to be limited to 20 minutes. Okoro is averaging 8.2 points and 2.7 rebounds per game as a full-time starter in his first season with the Bulls. Despite being a mainstay in the starting unit, he's not a player fantasy managers should consider worth rostering.

Okoro has missed the last eight games with a back injury, but could be back and starting on Friday, with Kevin Huerter (hamstring) still out. Okoro has averaged 8.2 points, 2.7 rebounds, and 1.6 assists in 15 games this season.

Sunday's game will be the eighth that Okoro has missed, which opens up a spot in the starting lineup. While Julian Phillips was the most recent replacement, it was because the Bulls did not have Ayo Dosunmu. Dosunmu is probable to play on Sunday, so he'll likely move into the starting lineup if cleared.
