Shines with 26/14 double-double
Okongwu recorded 26 points (8-16 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 7-8 FT), 14 rebounds, six assists and one steal over 35 minutes during Monday's 140-129 loss to Oklahoma City.
Analysis
Okongwu turned in a great offensive performance, although he was unable to keep Chet Holmgren from posting a high number. Okongwu has eight double-doubles, and he logged 14 rebounds for a second consecutive game. He's not averaging a double-double, but his production remains solid, averaging 16.4 points and 7.8 rebounds over 33 games.

Monster double-double in loss
Okongwu chipped in 31 points (10-16 FG, 6-10 3Pt, 5-7 FT), 14 rebounds, one assist and one steal in 36 minutes before fouling out of Saturday's 128-125 loss to the Knicks.
Analysis
Okongwu ended one point and one assist away from tying his respective season-high marks in both categories. The big man has started 14 games in a row due to the persistent issues of Kristaps Porzingis (illness), and Okongwu has been productive for the most part. This was his fifth game with at least 20 points in that stretch, which is a decent tally considering he has a secondary role on offense behind the star duo of Trae Young and Jalen Johnson.
