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 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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
