Caruso did not play in Thursday’s win over the Lakers, while Dort injured his back during the third quarter and did not return. Their ability to practice is certainly encouraging, with the Thunder facing the Jazz on Sunday.

Dort came out scalding hot, shooting 5-of-5 from the field in the first quarter and producing 14 points and four three-pointers. He didn’t score again, but the Thunder are more concerned about the back injury he suffered in the third quarter. Dort’s layup attempt was blocked by Lakers’ forward Jake LaRavia, with the momentum sending the Thunder wing crashing to the court. Dort walked back to the locker room during a timeout moments later and did not return. The game was a blowout, so it made no sense for him to return regardless of the injury’s severity. Still, this is something to watch with the playoffs on the horizon.

In his prior five appearances, Dort shot a combined 6-of-33 from the field overall and 5-of-26 from beyond the arc. To say he needed a night like Wednesday would be a serious understatement. Dort was 4-of-6 from deep against the Celtics. While the defensive production was limited, category-league managers will take the three-point production, which has not always been there for Dort.

Dort will return to the rotation and the starting lineup on Monday, joining the usual four starters in his first game back following a two-game absence. The Thunder has been the league’s hottest team, and will have a chance to earn a 12th consecutive win on Monday. They enter with the NBA’s best record.

Dort is back after sitting out Saturday’s win over the Wizards with a left knee contusion. His return coincides with Ajay Mitchell’s one-game suspension, so Dort can slide back into the starting five with ease.

Dort wasn’t on the initial injury report, but has been ruled out with a left knee contusion. Cason Wallace, Isaiah Joe and Jared McCain are all candidates to play a few more minutes in Dort’s absence.

This is the second game of a back-to-back, and the Thunder will sit out a few of their key rotation players, including Dort. That will likely mean more minutes for Cason Wallace, Isaiah Joe, and Jared McCain; although, Dort hasn’t surpassed 20 minutes in either of the last two games.

Dort was tossed after a hip check of Denver’s Nikola Jokić in the backcourt knocked the center to the floor and sparked an altercation. Dort played 28 minutes, finishing with eight points, six rebounds, one assist, one steal and two three-pointers, shooting 3-of-7 from the field.

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 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 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.
