Dort suffered a right shoulder contusion during Tuesday’s win over the Clippers and will not play on Wednesday. Aaron Wiggins, Isaiah Joe and Ajay Mitchell are all worth streaming in deep leagues, even if only one of them (likely Wiggins) will be able to start. Oklahoma City is also without Chet Holmgren and Alex Caruso, so there will be plenty of minutes to go around.

With Wednesday’s game being the second in as many nights for the Thunder, Holmgren’s sitting is unsurprising. Jaylin Williams, who suffered a cut over his left eye that required three stitches during Tuesday’s win over the Clippers, is available. He’ll likely move into the starting lineup and is worth streaming in deep leagues.

Wednesday’s game is the second in as many nights for the Thunder, who took care of the Clippers on Tuesday. As a result, some rotation players, including Caruso, will not play. His absence may lead to legitimate rotation minutes for Brooks Barnhizer and Chris Youngblood, who are both on two-way contracts. Neither is a streaming candidate on an 11-game slate.

Sabonis has been downgraded from questionable to out, which opens up a spot in the starting lineup for Drew Eubanks. While he may not be the most enticing streaming option, Eubanks is worth a look in deeper leagues. Maxime Raynaud should pick up additional rotation minutes off the bench, but he isn’t worth the streaming risk.

While LaVine did play through lower back soreness on Monday, he will not be able to go on Wednesday. His absence opens up a spot in the starting lineup for Malik Monk, Keon Ellis or Nique Clifford. All three should see their playing time increase, but Monk offers the highest offensive upside of the three. Ellis is capable of a big night, but he’s more likely to provide streaming value in the defensive stats.

Despite missing the season’s first five games with a knee injury, Joe has hit the ground running for the Thunder. He notched a season-high 22 points on Tuesday, the second time in three games that he’s scored at least 20. With Jalen Williams (wrist) set to miss more time, Joe is well-positioned to provide deep-league value. He has been a top-50 player over the last week but is rostered in just 13 percent of Yahoo! leagues. And the Thunder play three more games during Week 3, making this a good time to hop onto the bandwagon.

Holmgren, who missed three games with a sprained lower back, played a team-high 30 minutes on Tuesday. While the stat line was modest, he did record three blocked shots. The lingering question is whether he’ll be available for Wednesday’s game in Portland. If Holmgren gets the night off, Aaron Wiggins (12/2/2 with two three-pointers in 26 minutes) may be back in the starting lineup.

Gilgeous-Alexander was outstanding on Tuesday and didn’t need to play at all during the fourth quarter. He’s now scored at least 20 points in 80 consecutive games, the third-longest streak in the history of the NBA. While Gilgeous-Alexander has scored at least 30 points in seven of Oklahoma City’s first eight games, this was his first double-double. With him only playing 29 minutes, fatigue may not be an issue for Wednesday’s game in Portland.

Dort and Holmgren are back after missing Oklahoma City’s most recent game, Sunday’s blowout of the Pelicans. Their returns mean that Aaron Wiggins and Jaylin Williams will come off the bench, lowering both players’ fantasy ceilings. They’ll remain in the rotation, however, with Wiggins having a better chance of achieving some semblance of fantasy relevance.

Initially questionable for Tuesday’s game, Mitchell is available and will remain with the Thunder bench rotation. He’s played well enough to merit being rostered in most 14-team leagues and some 12-team formats. Mitchell is worth rostering as long as the Thunder are without Jalen Williams.

Sabonis has led the NBA in rebounds three consecutive seasons, and a fourth rebounding straight title is a realistic possibility. He grabbed 17 boards against the Nuggets, and the five assists were also valuable for fantasy managers. That will need to be the case moving forward, as Sabonis’ scoring production may slip due to the number of scorers on the perimeter. He’s averaging 14.5 points per game, the lowest for Sabonis since the 2018-19 campaign (14.1 ppg). The decreased scoring and low free-throw percentage are why he’s ranked just outside the top-50 in nine-cat formats.

Interestingly, both starting point guards in Monday’s game, Schröder and Denver’s Jamal Murray, shot 0-of-5 from beyond the arc. Dennis shot 7-of-9 from two and dished out nine assists, making for a solid night overall. While he hasn’t been much more than a late-round fantasy option for most of his career, Schröder has far exceeded the expectations thus far. He’s rostered in just 40 percent of Yahoo! leagues, and with the Kings playing three more games during Week 3, Schröder is worth a look in some standard leagues.

Playing in Denver for the first time since opting out of the final year of his two-year deal to hit free agency, Westbrook provided the complete “Russell Westbrook Experience” on Monday. Moving into the starting lineup, he was highly productive against the Nuggets, recording a double-double with six assists. However, he was also responsible for six turnovers, including two within 30 seconds late in the fourth quarter, effectively eliminating Sacramento’s rallying chances. Westbrook has been the most productive of the players that head coach Doug Christie has called on to start due to Keegan Murray being injured. That should keep him in the starting lineup for the foreseeable future.

Dort did not play in Sunday’s win over the Pelicans, so the Thunder inserted Jaylin Williams into the starting lineup.

Mitchell is dealing with a bilateral glute contusion, hence his appearance on the initial injury report for Tuesday’s game.

The Thunder remained undefeated on the season, and Gilgeous-Alexander led the way with another game of at least 30 points scored — his sixth time going over 30 in the first seven games of the season. The reigning league MVP was very efficient on Sunday, finding a good chunk of production from the free-throw line and ultimately saw his night end after just 30 minutes, thanks to a large OKC lead during the fourth quarter. SGA has gotten off to another strong start to begin the season and could very well find himself in MVP talks again.

Wallace has been one of the league’s most active defenders so far through the first couple of weeks of the season.

Hartenstein nearly recorded his first-ever triple-double on Sunday, but a lopsided Thunder win limited him to just 26 minutes of game action. In his time on the floor, he impressed in all phases of the game and helped OKC remain unbeaten on the season.

He’s picked up where he left things last season, which was a career-best for him.

Sabonis’s fifth double-double in as many games was his first with at least 20 points. The scoring was the big concern for the Kings’ center regarding his fantasy value for the 2025-26 season. While Sabonis had a Yahoo! ADP of 18, there was reason for concern given how his scoring decreased after the Kings acquired Zach LaVine at the February trade deadline. He’s currently ranked just outside the top-75 in nine-cat formats, a slow start in the eyes of many who hoped to recoup first-round value when drafting Sabonis.

After enduring a two-game stretch in which he scored 13 points on 6-of-18 shooting, Schröder snapped out of his mini-slump on Saturday.

DeRozan and the Kings rebounded from a slow start to knock off the Bucks in Milwaukee, and their ability to get to the foul line was a factor. DeRozan was one of three starters to make at least eight free throws, and the Kings outscored the Bucks by a 35-20 margin at the foul line. For the season, DeRozan is shooting over 50 percent from the field but 78.4 percent from the foul line. The latter percentage and limited defensive production are why he’s ranked just outside the top-75 in nine-cat formats. The Kings play four games during Week 3.

LaVine may not have provided much value outside of the points and three-pointers, but his early-season heater has been great for those who have him rostered. He has scored 30 points or more in five of his first six games, shooting 53 percent from the field and 94.3 percent from the foul line. The combination of points, three-pointers and high percentages has LaVine ranked within the top-25 in nine-cat formats. Fantasy managers will hope he can provide a bit more in the way of assists and steals, as that would help protect LaVine from a significant drop if his scoring cools off.

Injured on Opening Night, Clifford made his return to action Saturday afternoon. The rookie only attempted one shot in his 16 minutes on the floor, and his fantasy value in the short term depends on his role. If Clifford returns to the starting lineup while the Kings await Keegan Murray’s return from thumb surgery, he’ll be worth a look in deep leagues. If head coach Doug Christie decides to stick with Russell Westbrook (12/5/10/2 in 33 minutes), who started the two games before Saturday, there won’t be much to gain from rostering Clifford in most leagues.

He’s providing fifth-round value in 12-team formats, which is excellent production for a player barely on anyone’s radar during the preseason.

Sabonis’ rebounding production remains elite, but that wasn’t expected to be an issue. What should have concerned fantasy managers more than it did, based on his Yahoo!
