Cavaliers' Isaac Okoro: Gets light playing time in return
Rotowire
Okoro (shoulder) recorded zero points (0-2 FG, 0-2 3Pt), one assist and one steal across 13 minutes in Wednesday's 129-122 win over the Thunder.
Okoro made his return to action after missing the Cavaliers' last eight games due to an AC joint sprain in his right shoulder. Prior to getting hurt, Okoro had started in each of his last 16 appearances, but he was deployed off the bench Wednesday with the Cavaliers sticking with Dean Wade as their starting small forward. Even if he eventually moves back up to the top unit, Okoro could struggle to clear 20 minutes in most games while he's part of a deep stable of wings that also includes Wade, Max Strus, Caris LeVert, Georges Niang and Sam Merrill (ankle).

Cavaliers' Isaac Okoro: Stays hot from deep in return
Rotowire
Okoro (knee) accumulated 13 points (4-8 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal in 25 minutes during Friday's 115-105 win over the Wizards.
Although it was sharpshooter Georges Niang who started the second half of Sunday's loss to the Heat after Evan Mobley (ankle) departed, Okoro drew the starting nod and chipped in a full stat line in his return from a two-game absence with a knee injury. In 15 games as a starter this season, Okoro is averaging 6.9 points, 2.2 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 0.7 steals and 1.5 three-pointers in 22.1 minutes per contest. The 23-year-old three-and-D wing is shooting a career-high 48.3 percent from beyond the arc over 22 games overall this year, and he'll remain a decent source of triples and swipes for fantasy managers if Mobley remains unavailable for Monday's matchup with the Nets.
