• Cavaliers' Isaac Okoro: Minimal impact in win

  5D ago • By RotoWire

  Okoro closed Wednesday's 136-106 win over Toronto with three points (1-2 FG, 1-2 FT), two rebounds, two assists and one block in 19 minutes. Despite starting 42 of his 69 regular-season appearances in 2023-24, Okoro was relegated to a bench role on Opening Night. Even with Max Strus (ankle) set to miss at least six weeks of action, Dean Wade drew the start at small forward. If Okoro continues to fail to crack 20 minutes of playing time, it will be hard for him to generate significant fantasy value.

Okoro will start at small forward since the Cavaliers are resting several regulars, including Max Strus, who's dealing with a minor hip injury. It seems the battle between Strus and Okoro to see who opens the season as the starting small forward is the only positional battle to watch in the Cavaliers' camp. Okoro signed a three-year, $38 million contract in September to stay in Cleveland.
