Makes impact from second unit
Okogie provided 14 points (5-7 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds and two steals across 24 minutes off the bench during Wednesday's 128-97 win over the Kings.
Analyse
The 27-year-old wing saw his biggest workload in February during the rout and scored in double digits for the first time this month as a result. Okogie has been struggling to hang onto a spot in the Rockets' rotation, but with Jae'Sean Tate (knee) sidelined into March and Amen Thompson (quadriceps) banged up as well, minutes should be a little easier to come by in the short term.

Removed from rotation
Okogie (coach's decision) went unused off the bench Thursday in the Rockets' 105-101 loss to the Hornets.
Analyse
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.
