Okoro will start Monday's game against the Bucks, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports. With Caris LeVert (knee) and Dean Wade (illness) out, Okoro will make his first start of the season. Across 49 starts last season, including the postseason, Okoro averaged 10.3 points, 3.2 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 1.2 steals-plus-blocks in 29.1 minutes per game.

Okoro accumulated 13 points (4-5 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds, one assist and one steal over 28 minutes during Saturday's 114-113 win over the Bucks. Okoro did the majority of his damage from beyond the arc in this one, scoring nine of his 13 points from deep. The Auburn product has been locked in from three over his last two appearances, hitting five of eight attempts to produce his two best scoring performances of the young campaign.

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 won't start Wednesday's preseason game against Detroit. Okoro drew the start Thursday as the Cavaliers opted to rest its regular starters. With the first unit active Wednesday, Okoro will shift back to the second unit.

Okoro is in the starting lineup for Thursday's preseason game against the Pacers. 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.
