Rockets' Josh Okogie: Removed from rotation
Okogie (coach's decision) went unused off the bench Thursday in the Rockets' 105-101 loss to the Hornets.
For the second time in three games, head coach Ime Udoka dropped the struggling Okogie from his nine-man rotation and instead opted to go with Jae'Sean Tate for the final spot. The two DNPs were the first of the season for Okogie, who has fallen out of favor after shooting just 39.7 percent from the field and 31.8 percent from three-point range since the calendar flipped to 2026.

Rockets' Josh Okogie: Comes up empty in loss
Okogie recorded no counting stats in 10 minutes during Wednesday's 105-102 loss to the Clippers.
Okogie did his best Tony Snell impersonation, failing to record a stat despite playing 10 minutes. While he has been able to remain in the rotation, Okogie rarely contributes in the box score. In 52 games this season, he has averaged just 5.2 points and 0.9 steals in 19.6 minutes per game.

Rockets' Josh Okogie: Coming off bench Saturday

Okogie has started eight of the Rockets' last 14 games, and over that span he has averaged 4.8 points, 3.1 rebounds, 0.8 assists, 0.9 threes and 0.9 steals over 21.6 minutes per game.

Rockets' Josh Okogie: Starting Thursday
Okogie is in the Rockets' starting lineup against the Hornets on Thursday, Lachard Binkley of SI.com reports.
Okogie has come off the bench in the Rockets' last three games, but he'll make his 29th start of the season Thursday due to the uncertainty over whether Tari Eason (lower leg) will play. Okogie has averaged 3.8 points, 3.1 rebounds and 0.9 assists over 18.6 minutes per game since Jan. 1.

Rockets' Josh Okogie: Not starting vs. Dallas
Okogie won't start Saturday's game against the Mavericks, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports.
With Tari Eason (leg) back in the lineup, Okogie will retreat to the bench. Over his last five appearances with the second unit, the 27-year-old wing has averaged 2.0 points, 3.4 rebounds and 1.6 assists in 15.6 minutes per tilt.

Rockets' Josh Okogie: Starting Thursday
Okogie is in the starting lineup for Thursday's matchup with the Hawks, Lachard Binkley of SI.com reports.
Okogie will return to the starting unit with Tari Eason (rest) unavailable, and he'll be joined in the first unit by Amen Thompson, Kevin Durant, Jabari Smith and Alperen Sengun. In 27 starts this season, Okogie has posted averages of 6.7 points, 3.1 rebounds, 1.1 assists, 1.1 triples and 1.5 steals per game.

Rockets' Josh Okogie: Shifts back to bench
Okogie isn't in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Grizzlies, Jackson Gatlin of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
Okogie will retreat to a bench role Monday with Tari Eason set to return from a right ankle injury. Okogie hasn't impressed as a reserve recently, as he's been held to zero points in three of his last five bench appearances.

Rockets' Josh Okogie: Struggles in start
Okogie racked up five points (2-2 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 0-3 FT), one rebound and one steal across 17 minutes during Tuesday's 111-106 victory over San Antonio.
Okogie remained in the starting lineup but logged fewer than 20 minutes for the second straight game. With head coach Ime Udoka seemingly against starting Reed Sheppard, Okogie has been able to stick as a meaningful part of the rotation despite his lack of production. As a player who is averaging 5.5 points and 1.0 steals in 19.5 minutes per game this season, Okogie warrants no real fantasy attention.

Rockets' Josh Okogie: Back in starting lineup Tuesday
Okogie is in the Rockets' starting lineup against the Spurs on Tuesday, Will Guillory of The Athletic reports.
Okogie was moved to the bench for Sunday's loss to the Pelicans after starting in the three prior games. However, he'll return to the starting lineup Tuesday in the absence of Steven Adams, who is out indefinitely due to a Grade 3 left ankle sprain that he suffered against New Orleans on Sunday. As a starter this season, Okogie is averaging 6.8 points, 3.2 rebounds, 1.1 assists, 1.1 threes and 1.5 steals over 23.9 minutes per game.

Rockets' Josh Okogie: Back to bench Sunday
Okogie is not in the Rockets' starting lineup against the Pelicans on Sunday, Lachard Binkley of SI.com reports.
Okogie started in each of the Rockets' last three games, though he accumulated just 10 points over that span. He'll revert to a reserve role Sunday while Steven Adams enters Houston's starting lineup.

Rockets' Josh Okogie: Starting role yields very little
Okogie contributed one point (0-4 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds and one steal over 33 minutes during Friday's 110-105 victory over Minnesota.
Okogie remained in the starting lineup, logging a season-high 33 minutes in the process. While the playing time was certainly encouraging, the same can't be said for his production. With Tari Eason on the verge of returning from an ankle injury, Okogie will likely shift back to a bench role in the near future. Even as a starter, he holds no value in fantasy, outside of the deepest formats.

Rockets' Josh Okogie: Starting Tuesday vs. Chicago
Okogie is in the Rockets' starting lineup against the Bulls on Tuesday, Lachard Binkley of SI.com reports.
Okogie has averaged just 9.8 minutes off the bench over the Rockets' last five games, but he'll enter the starting lineup for the first time since Dec. 23 while Aaron Holiday comes off the bench. Over his last nine starts, Okogie averaged 6.9 points, 4.1 rebounds, 1.2 assists, 1.1 threes and 1.0 steals over 24.4 minutes per game.

Rockets' Josh Okogie: Barely visible in win
Okogie amassed zero points (0-2 FG, 0-2 3Pt) across nine minutes during Monday's 100-97 victory over the Suns.
Okogie failed to record a single stat, logging no more than 13 minutes for the sixth time in the past seven games. Head coach Ime Udoka continues to throw out some confusing lineups, with Okogie typically starting or barely seeing the floor. Even when he has been afforded starter-level minutes, Okogie is nowhere near being a viable fantasy asset. He can be safely ignored in all standard formats.

Rockets' Josh Okogie: Quiet off bench Thursday
Okogie amassed zero points (0-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt) over 10 minutes during Thursday's 119-96 victory over the Lakers.
Okogie was limited to a minor role as he moved out of the starting lineup for the first time since Dec. 1. The disappointing performance lowered his 2025-26 season averages to 6.5 points, 2.9 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 1.2 steals per game. He's unlikely to regain significant playing time for now while both Kevin Durant and Tari Eason are fit.

Rockets' Josh Okogie: Solid line in loss
Okogie finished with 10 points (3-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 3-3 FT), four rebounds and three assists across 30 minutes during Thursday's 133-128 overtime loss to New Orleans.
The Rockets continue to trust Okogie with stable workloads, as his versatility on both ends of the court has made him an invaluable part of the rotation. Over his last five games, he's averaging 9.4 points, 4.2 rebounds, 1.2 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.0 three-pointers in 23.7 minutes per contest.

Okogie continues to play a key role for Houston, though his fantasy impact isn't as good as his real-life impact. Across 22 appearances, Okogie holds averages of 6.6 points, 2.9 rebounds, 1.0 assists, 1.4 steals and 1.0 three-pointers.

Okogie will return to the starting lineup for Wednesday's matchup with the Kings, Michael C. Wright of ESPN.com reports.
Okogie will replace Reed Sheppard in the starting unit in a matchup-based decision by coach Ime Udoka, so Okogie should be looking at minutes in the mid-20s Wednesday evening. Through 12 games as a starter this season, Okogie owns averages of 7.5 points, 2.5 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 1.3 triples and 1.9 steals per game.
