Luguentz Dort (shoulder) is out for Sunday’s matchup with the Grizzlies.
With Dort out again, look for Ajay Mitchell to join the starting five for a third straight game. Mitchell is off to a blistering start to the 2025-26 campaign, and the good times should keep rolling on Sunday.

Luguentz Dort (shoulder) is questionable for Sunday’s game against the Grizzlies.
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.

Luguentz Dort (shoulder) is questionable to play against the Kings on Friday.
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.

Luguentz Dort (shoulder) is out for Wednesday’s game 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.

Luguentz Dort (illness) is questionable for Tuesday’s game against the Clippers.
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.

Luguentz Dort (illness) has been ruled out against the Pelicans on Sunday.
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.

Luguentz Dort (ankle) is questionable for Thursday’s game against the Pacers.
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.

Luguentz Dort made an impact on both ends of the floor with 15 points (5-of-10 FGs), four rebounds, one assist, four steals, two blocks and five three-pointers in Game 1 against the Pacers on Thursday.
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.

Luguentz Dort accumulated 12 points (4-of-11 FGs), four rebounds, one assist, three steals and four three-pointers in Wednesday’s Game 5 win over the Timberwolves.
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.

Luguentz Dort came up big for the Thunder in their win over the Nuggets on Tuesday, finishing with 12 points (4-of-8 FGs), three rebounds, one assist and four three-pointers.
Well-known for his prowess on the defensive end, Dort’s offensive eruption in the fourth quarter helped the Thunder climb from out of a big hole to secure a come-from-behind win and move Oklahoma City one win closer to a trip to the conference finals. His three triples in the final frame were huge, but a late assist on a Jalen Williams three might have been the play that delivered the Thunder the victory. Dort’s double-digit outing marked his third of the series, and Oklahoma City would welcome another as it tries to close out the series on Thursday in Game 6.

Luguentz Dort had 22 points (8-of-11 FGs), five rebounds, two steals, one block and six three-pointers against the Pacers on Saturday.
Dort isn’t a fantasy asset because he’s inconsistent. Saturday was one of those games where the 25-year-old shooting guard just happened to be feeling it. Dort poured in 22 points on 11 shots including six made three-pointers. Unfortunately, we’ve seen this movie from Dort before and know that his production against the Pacers ultimately isn’t sustainable. He can be safely left on waiver wires.

Luguentz Dort recorded 10 points (4-of-6 FGs), four rebounds, two assists, one steal, one block and two three-pointers in 29 minutes in Sunday’s win over the Clippers.
Dort returned to the Thunder lineup after missing two games with a right hip impingement. While the stat line was modest, it was also complete. Rostered in 17 percent of Yahoo! leagues, Dort is ranked outside the top 150 in eight-cat formats over the past month. While there have been times during the season when he’s provided higher value than expected, Dort hasn’t done enough to merit being rostered in most 12-team leagues.

Luguentz Dort (hip) is available for Sunday’s game against the Clippers.
Dort is back after missing two games with a right hip impingement. His return means Aaron Wiggins heads to the bench, where the wing’s fantasy value takes a slight hit. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Cason Wallace, Alex Caruso and Isaiah Hartenstein complete the Thunder starting five.

Luguentz Dort (hip) is questionable for Sunday’s game against the Clippers.
Dort has missed Oklahoma City’s last two games with a hip injury. Aaron Wiggins has been his replacement in the lineup, raising the young wing’s fantasy ceiling. Even if Dort returns on Sunday, Wiggins is worth holding onto in deep leagues because of his improved offensive production.

Luguentz Dort left Saturday’s game against the Pistons in the third quarter with hip soreness.
Dort exited Saturday’s game late in the third quarter with a sore hip and did not return. Dort finished Saturday’s win over the Pistons with seven points (3-of-6 FGs), seven rebounds, one assist, one block and one three-pointer in 27 minutes. Isaiah Joe played over 10 minutes during the fourth quarter following his early exit, as Chet Holmgren and Aaron Wiggins were unavailable. The Thunder visit the Bucks on Sunday, and Joe may be asked to take on a more significant workload if Dort, Holmgren and Wiggins cannot play.

Luguentz Dort shot 9-of-16 from the field in Monday’s loss to the Nuggets, tallying 26 points, seven rebounds, four steals, one block and eight three-pointers in 34 minutes.
Dort was hot from beyond the arc on Monday, shooting 8-of-8 with the eight makes being a career-high. As for the 26 points, that was his highest tally of the season. Dort hasn’t been the most reliable shooter, but he has made strides this season. That progress will be tested if the Thunder are forced to play without Jalen Williams, who exited Monday’s game with a strained right hip. Oklahoma City plays three more games during Week 19, starting with the Celtics on Wednesday in Boston.

Luguentz Dort accumulated 20 points (7-of-13 FGs), four rebounds, one assist, two steals and six three-pointers in 32 minutes in Friday’s win over the Hawks.
There’s nothing like facing a team ranked 27th in three-point percentage defense when you’re in a slump. Dort entered Friday’s game having shot 2-of-16 from three in his prior four games. He snapped out of that funk in a big way in Atlanta, shooting 6-of-11 from deep and recording his first 20-point game since February 1 (20 vs. Sacramento). Rostered in 17 percent of Yahoo! leagues, Dort has been ranked outside the top 175 in nine-cat formats over the past three weeks. Friday’s effort was a much-needed step in the right direction.
