Bulls' Isaac Okoro: Chips in 20 points in win
Rotowire
Okoro finished Saturday's 125-118 victory over the Heat with 20 points (7-12 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 4-6 FT), one rebound, three assists and one steal across 34 minutes.
Okoro had the opportunity for an expanded role Saturday due to the absences of Josh Giddey (hamstring) and Coby White (calf). Okoro ended up posting his second 20-plus-point performance of the season while finishing as the Bulls' third-leading scorer behind Ayo Dosunmu (29 points) and Matas Buzelis (21 points). Okoro's role in Sunday's rematch against Miami may shift if one or both of White and Giddey were to return.

Bulls' Isaac Okoro: Paces team with 24 points
Rotowire
Okoro finished with 24 points (8-10 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 6-8 FT), five rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal in 36 minutes during Wednesday's 134-118 victory over the Pelicans.
Okoro took on an enhanced role with Josh Giddey (hamstring), Coby White (calf) and Zach Collins (toe) out, and he made the most of his opportunity. Although White should be back soon, Giddey and Collins are out for at least two weeks, and Okoro's promotion to the first unit is a strong sign that he'll be a primary pivot for the production gap moving forward.
