Josh Okogie is averaging just 3.0 PPG over his last 5 games on 12.8 MPG, a significant decline from his season 5.0 PPG average on 18.7 minutes. Against the Lakers specifically, he's posted 4.7 PPG across 18 matchups on 14 MPG, suggesting continued limited usage. With Houston well-rested (3 days) and Okogie in a rotation role, he projects as a bench contributor with upside only if given extended minutes.
Austin Reaves has been Okogie's primary defender in recent matchups, holding him to 4 PPG on 22.2% FG across 11 minutes. LeBron James also has defensive reps on Okogie, allowing 6 PPG on 66.7% FG, though the sample is minimal.
