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 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.
