Fantasy Analysis

Okafor has not been to good in terms of scoring in his first year with the Hornets, having scored just 17 points in his three games prior to Sunday. He is still an excellent scoure of rebounds and blocks, but Fantasy owners continue to bench him in many formats. For now, Okafor should only be considered a No. 2 Fantasy option with the potential to be a must-start.
