UNC had to come back to beat Boston College in OT on Saturday. Did that get them back during this challenging season?

In helping Charlotte split the first two games of its longest homestand of the season, the newly acquired guard is proving his worth.

The Hornets will be extremely depleted for this contest, and Okogie will start at small forward due to the absence of Josh Green (foot). Okogie is averaging 10.6 points, 4.0 rebounds and 1.6 assists per game over his last five appearances off the bench.

When the Charlotte Hornets traded for Okogie they acquired a dogged defender with a penchant for crashing the glass on both ends of the floor. In Friday night’s home loss to the red hot Portland Trail Blazers, Okogie’s versatile skill set that fully embodies “ Hornets DNA ” was on full display.

Okogie ended with 19 points (6-11 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 4-5 FT), two rebounds, two assists and four steals across 25 minutes during Monday's 112-107 loss to the Lakers. This was Okogie's second-best scoring effort of the season.
