OKC • Small Forward and Shooting Guard • #5

After missing Wednesday’s game against the Spurs, Dort appears to be on his way back to OKC’s starting lineup. His return will provide the Thunder with another elite perimeter defender and a floor spacer. He’s unlikely to have much fantasy value, as has been the case throughout much of the season.

Dort will join other Thunder starters on the sidelines for the second leg of this back-to-back. His absence will open up plenty of minutes and a starting spot, which will likely be filled by either Aaron Wiggins or Isaiah Joe.

Dort had 12 points and eight rebounds, but he’ll make headlines for getting into an altercation with the Pelicans’ Jeremiah Fears late in Tuesday’s game. Dort, seemingly out of nowhere following a loose ball that went out of bounds, grabbed Fears’ jersey and wouldn’t let go until the two were separated by teammates. It’s unclear if Dort will face any disciplinary action from the league for his actions.

Dort has reached double figures in five of his last eight appearances, scoring no more than 13 points in any of them. He shot the ball well against the Rockets, but the muted offensive production makes him challenging to rely on in most fantasy leagues. His value over the past month sits just outside the top-175, which explains why Dort is rostered in only six percent of Yahoo! leagues.

Dort (foot) is back from a one-game absence and will reclaim his usual spot in the Thunder’s starting lineup. He’ll join a cast of familiar faces in the opening lineup for the Thunder’s first matchup with the Rockets since their opening-day double-overtime thriller, which OKC won by a point.

Dort is back after a one-game absence, moving the Thunder closer to full strength. His return means that either Cason Wallace or Aaron Wiggins will head to the bench, with the other filling the void left by Isaiah Hartenstein (calf).

Dort did not play in Tuesday’s win over the Spurs, with Cason Wallace moving into the starting lineup. That would likely remain the case on Thursday if Dort sits, and Aaron Wiggins would also be a starter since Isaiah Hartenstein is already out.

Dort was a late addition to the injury report and will now miss a game for the first time since early December. Ajay Mitchell or Aaron Wiggins will likely start in his place, though both will see a boost in minutes.

Dort is a late addition to the injury report due to left foot soreness, which puts his status highly in question. If Dort is unable to play, Ajay Mitchell could join the starting lineup in his place.

Dort will be back after a three-game absence. Jaylin Williams started OKC’s last two games, but he will likely be pushed to the bench with Dort healthy. With Isaiah Hartenstein still out, Williams should still play a large role off the bench.

Sunday’s game will be the third that Dort has missed with a strained right adductor. Ajay Mitchell will continue to start, but with Shai Gilgeous-Alexander also out, the Thunder will also need additional production from Cason Wallace and Aaron Wiggins.

Dort will miss a second straight game as he recovers from a strained right adductor. Ajay Mitchell replaced him in the lineup for Tuesday’s win over the Warriors and should retain that role. Mitchell is worth rostering in deep leagues, even on a 12-game night.

Dort is recovering from a strained right adductor, with Tuesday’s game being the first that he’ll miss since November 12. Ajay Mitchell was his replacement in the starting lineup on that night, and he may receive the starting nod again on Tuesday. If so, Mitchell will be worth holding onto in some 12-team leagues.

Dort returned from a four-game absence with a shoulder injury on Saturday against the Hornets, but had just three points in 22 minutes. The 26-year-old shooting guard got another start and had more of an impact on Monday against the Pelicans. Dort filled up the stat sheet and had 17 points and four three-pointers. While Ajay Mitchell played well in Dort’s absence, Dort’s minutes have been unchanged since he’s returned.

Dort is available after a four-game absence, making an excellent Thunder defense that much better. His return means Ajay Mitchell will likely head back to the bench, but this should not be viewed as a reason to move away from the second-year guard. Whether he starts or comes off the bench, Mitchell has provided reliable fantasy value this season.

Dort has been sidelined for OKC’s last four games, but he has a chance to return on Saturday. If Dort is back in action, Ajay Mitchell could retreat back to the bench, but Mitchell has been too impactful to see his minutes cut significantly. The latter remains a hold in fantasy leagues.

Dort has missed the last four games with a shoulder injury. Ajay Mitchell had 17 points in 31 minutes in Dort’s absence on Tuesday against the Warriors. Mitchell’s hot start to the season has mostly made up for Dort missing time with injury.

Dort is set to miss his fourth consecutive game with a shoulder injury. Ajay Mitchell has been the big winner from Dort’s absence so far and that should continue on Tuesday against the Warriors.

Dort is dealing with an upper trap strain. He’s missed the last two games since injuring his shoulder in the win over the Clippers on Tuesday. Ajay Mitchell has filled in for Dort and is worth rostering until he returns.

Dort missed Wednesday’s game against Portland after an early exit on Tuesday. If he remains out for another game, Ajay Mitchell should get another start in Dort’s place. Mitchell had 21 points in 31 minutes against the Trail Blazers.

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.

Dort injured his right shoulder in a collision early in the third quarter. He’s since been diagnosed with a right shoulder contusion and will not return to Tuesday’s game. His absence means more opportunities for Aaron Wiggins, Ajay Mitchell and Isaiah Joe as the Thunder look to close out the victory.

Dort did not play in Sunday’s win over the Pelicans, so the Thunder inserted Jaylin Williams into the starting lineup. Williams is also questionable for Tuesday’s game with a shoulder injury, so the Thunder may have to go even deeper into their bench if JayWill and Dort cannot play. Aaron Wiggins, Isaiah Joe and Cason Wallace are healthy, and all would have increased fantasy value if Dort sits.

Dort wasn’t on the initial injury report, but he must have woken up very sick on Sunday. Isaiah Joe and Ajay Mitchell are candidates to replace him in the starting unit, though both should see a boost in minutes.

Dort injured his ankle during Tuesday’s double-overtime win over the Rockets, but still played 45 of 58 minutes. With Alex Caruso (concussion) and Isaiah Joe (knee) out, and Cason Wallace (knee) being questionable, the Thunder could be light on wing options for Thursday’s NBA Finals rematch. Aaron Wiggins is healthy, as are Ajay Mitchell and Brooks Barnhizer. Wiggins would be the best streaming option of the three.

Dort is one of the best defensive players in the league, and he made his presence felt in Game 1 of this series. He collected six defensive stats and knocked down a team-high five triples to provide Shai Gilgeous-Alexander with some help on the offensive end. Dort’s offensive output will likely be inconsistent moving forward, but he’s capable of knocking down shots when he needs to. However, he’ll continue to dominate on the defensive end every night.

A pest defensively throughout the Western Conference Finals, Dort picked a good time to hit double figures for the first time in this series. He dropped four high-arcing three-pointers on Wednesday, and the 12 points are the most he’s scored since Game 5 of Oklahoma City’s second-round series against the Nuggets. Regardless of who the Thunder play in the NBA Finals, Dort will be the first line of defense against the opposing team’s best perimeter player. That will either be Indiana’s Tyrese Haliburton or New York’s Jalen Brunson.
