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.

Joe saw his first action of the 2025-26 season on Thursday and wasted no time getting to work. He hit two three-pointers during the first quarter and finished with a stat line that only lacked a blocked shot. While Joe isn’t a must-roster player in standard leagues, his three-point production places him on the radar in deeper formats. The Thunder only play once more during Week 2, but they’ll have four games to play in Week 3.

Joe is available to make his season debut after injuring his knee during the preseason. He’ll give the Thunder another option on the wing as the team continues to play without the injured Jalen Williams (wrist). Given the time missed, fantasy managers should not expect too much too soon from Joe.

Joe has yet to appear in a game this season, as he’s been sidelined by a left knee contusion. That may change on Thursday; his return would give the Thunder a welcome infusion of depth on the wing. However, due to injuries to Jalen Williams and Chet Holmgren, Ajay Mitchell and Aaron Wiggins will remain valuable deep-league options even if Joe plays.

Saturday’s game will be Joe’s third missed game to begin the season, as he is dealing with a left knee contusion. His absence increases the value of Aaron Wiggins, who started Thursday’s win over the Pacers and tallied 23 points and nine rebounds. If Cason Wallace (knee) can play, Wiggins will likely return to the bench. Rookie Brooks Barnhizer has played rotation minutes, but Wiggins is the streamer to target in this spot.

The Thunder will be without multiple wing contributors for Thursday’s NBA Finals rematch, including Joe, who will miss a second straight game. The impact of his absence depends on the availability of starters Luguentz Dort (ankle) and Cason Wallace (knee), who are both considered questionable. The Thunder should have enough production if those two can play.

With Jalen Williams (wrist) already out, the Thunder will also play Tuesday’s opener without a solid bench contributor in Joe. His absence does not significantly impact fantasy basketball, but it does mean more playing time for Cason Wallace, Alex Caruso and Aaron Wiggins. Wallace was the most consistent fantasy performer of the three last season, but all have value.

The sharp-shooting wing was dominant from beyond the arc on Thursday, tallying a game-high in three-pointers to finish as OKC’s leading scorer. All of Joe’s field goal attempts and makes came from beyond the arc against the Hornets. He shot 41.2 percent from distance last season en route to averaging double-digit points for the first time in his NBA career, and is expected to play a similar role in the Thunder’s rotation in their quest for a second straight NBA championship.

Joe did not have the best afternoon shooting-wise, making 33.3 percent of his attempts. The good news for managers in active category leagues is that he recorded solid numbers in the rebound and steals categories. Like Aaron Wiggins, Joe will be in the playoff rotation, but the role will be far different than in Oklahoma City’s final two regular-season games.

Joe fell one point shy of tying his career-high for points in a game, but he was still able to set a new career-high for three-pointers, which also tied the franchise record that was set by Paul George in 2019. Joe also set a new career-high for assists. Oklahoma City will wrap up the regular season in New Orleans on Sunday. Unless head coach Mark Daigneault opts to rest him for the postseason, Joe should once again play a significant role and likely provide more triples.

Joe’s absence leaves the Thunder down a rotation perimeter player. However, with Alex Caruso and Aaron Wiggins available, the impact of Joe’s absence will be minimal.

Joe played 27 minutes off the bench as the Thunder blew out the Bulls by 28 points Monday. The 25-year-old shooting guard was feeling it. He made 8-of-14 attempts from behind the three-point line. Joe is strictly a streamer in deeper formats, but Monday was another example of his scoring ceiling.

Joe played 27 minutes off the bench as one of the beneficiaries of Jaylin Williams being out with a hip injury. The 25-year-old shooting guard caught fire and scored 19 points on nine shots including five made three-pointers. Joe can be an interesting streamer in deeper formats if Williams’ hip injury lingers.

The absences of Jalen Williams and Aaron Wiggins did not lead to Joe moving into the starting lineup, but his minutes did increase. He took advantage of the opportunity, hitting four three-pointers and recording solid assist and steals numbers. Alex Caruso also had a good night, finishing with 15 points, five rebounds, six assists, two blocks and two three-pointers in 23 minutes. While Caruso is the superior streaming option when the Thunder are shorthanded on the wing, Joe can provide deep-league value under similar circumstances.

Joe hit double figures in points for the third-straight game on Sunday, providing solid value off the bench in the Thunder victory. The 19 points are the most he has scored in a game since January 19, and Sunday was the sixth time Joe has made at least five three-pointers this season. Rostered in three percent of Yahoo! leagues, Joe’s season-long value has been low. However, Aaron Wiggins missing time due to illness has opened up additional opportunities for Joe, and he took advantage of his teammate’s absence on Sunday.

Joe has missed Oklahoma City’s last two games, but he could return to play against Memphis. If he remains out, Cason Wallace and Aaron Wiggins will continue to be the primary perimeter options off the bench, though both will sacrifice a few minutes if Joe is back.

This will be a second-straight absence for Joe due to lower back soreness. Aaron Wiggins and Alex Caruso will once again be the primary perimeter options off the bench for the Thunder after both played more than 20 minutes on Sunday.

Joe’s lower back soreness hastened his exit from Friday’s win over the Hawks, and he will not be available on Sunday. Kenrich Williams may play additional rotation minutes, especially with Chet Holmgren (ankle) also out, but the Thunder will also have Alex Caruso available to absorb some of the available minutes. Caruso is the superior streaming option.

Joe is the second Thunder rotation player to exit Friday’s game with an injury, joining Chet Holmgren (ankle). Kenrich Williams will likely play a few more minutes with Joe sidelined, but he’s unlikely to put up the numbers needed to impact fantasy basketball.
