Şengün has missed the last three games with a sprained right ankle, but he could be back sooner than the 10-14 days timeline provided by head coach Ime Udoka on January 5. If Şengün returns, Steven Adams will likely head to the bench, and Clint Capela will fall out of the rotation.

Eason sprained his right ankle during the third quarter of Friday’s loss to the Trail Blazers and did not return. While Dorian Finney-Smith is available, Reed Sheppard is the player whose minutes increased the most after Eason’s exit.

Williams has not appeared in a game since December 13, but that may change on Sunday. While his playing time is unlikely to affect fantasy basketball, JayWill gives Oklahoma City another option to call on in the frontcourt with Isaiah Hartenstein (calf) out.

Wallace was one of multiple Thunder players who did not play in Friday’s win over the Grizzlies. His absence factored into Brooks Barnhizer playing eight minutes off the bench, while starter Aaron Wiggins logged 32. Wiggins recently replaced Wallace, who had been filling in for Isaiah Hartenstein, as the Thunder’s fifth starter.

Holmgren is back after a one-game absence. Branden Carlson, who moved into the starting lineup for Friday’s win over the Grizzlies, will slip to the back end of the rotation.

Gilgeous-Alexander is back after sitting out Friday’s comeback win over the Grizzlies. His return means that Ajay Mitchell heads to the bench, but the second-year guard is worth holding onto in deep leagues.

Sunday’s game will be the eighth that Hartenstein has missed with a strained right soleus. Either Aaron Wiggins or Cason Wallace will fill the void in the starting lineup, with the former being the choice for Oklahoma City’s last three games.

Thompson is averaging 18.2 points per game this year, but has at least 20 points in five of his last six games. The 22-year-old point guard had a good game, his second night in a row with 24 points. Still, it wasn’t enough to prevent the Rockets from blowing a big lead in the fourth quarter with Kevin Durant on the bench. Thompson has provided third-round per game value over the last two weeks. Houston will finish up their road trip Sunday in Sacramento.

Eason played 16 minutes before spraining his right ankle and leaving Friday’s game with just over eight minutes remaining in the third quarter. Replaced in the lineup by Reed Sheppard, the Rockets’ forward was declared done for the night early in the fourth quarter. While Eason can be a valuable category league option, the inability to stay healthy has been an issue. The Rockets end their Week 12 schedule in Sacramento on Sunday.

After hitting the game-winner in Monday’s game against the Suns, Durant has played well in two games against the Trail Blazers, but the Rockets have lost each matchup. The 37-year-old small forward has scored at least 30 points in three of his last four games. Durant is 16th-overall in per game value over the last two weeks. The Rockets close out the week against the Kings Sunday.

Chet Holmgren joining Isaiah Hartenstein and Jaylin Williams on the sidelines did not push “Kenny Hustle” into the starting lineup, but it did guarantee him more playing time. Williams made the most of his opportunity, recording season-highs in points, rebounds and three-pointers. He’s rostered in less than one percent of Yahoo! leagues, so there weren’t many fantasy managers willing to roll the dice. Williams’ night should only influence the thinking of fantasy managers if the Thunder are just as shorthanded for Sunday’s game against the Heat.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander was unavailable for Friday’s game, which led to a spot start for Mitchell. Despite coming off the bench on most nights, the second-year guard has been productive enough to merit being rostered in some 12-team formats, so Friday’s output was unsurprising. Over the past two weeks, Mitchell has offered top-75 per-game value in eight- and nine-cat formats. If SGA remains out for Sunday’s game against the Heat, fantasy managers should not hesitate to stream Mitchell if he’s sitting on the waiver wire.

Playing without Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Chet Holmgren, among others, Friday’s game was one in which the Thunder appeared to be at a serious disadvantage. And they would trail by 21 points during the third quarter, seemingly underlining that assumption. However, Williams and the other available Thunder didn’t accept that, going on a 14-0 run to take the lead in the final minute. J-Dub didn’t score any of those 14 points, but his 26 beforehand helped Oklahoma City stay afloat. The Thunder end Week 12 with a home game against the Heat on Sunday.

The Thunder are without Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Chet Holmgren and Isaiah Hartenstein for Friday’s game, to name a few of the absentees. Mitchell and Carlson move into the starting lineup, and while the former should already be rostered in some 12-team leagues, the latter is worth streaming in deeper formats.

After a two-game absence, Caruso is available for Friday’s game. While the Thunder are without Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Chet Holmgren, that may not affect Caruso much, given the time he’s missed due to injury.
