Wiggins has had some good performances lately with Luguentz Dort and Alex Caruso out of the lineup. With both of those guys back now, Wiggins is still in the Thunder’s rotation, but won’t play enough to be worth rostering in most fantasy leagues.

Sunday’s performance was the best for Wiggins since returning from an adductor strain that sidelined him for 11 games. And this was the third outing in which he made at least five three-pointers. Shooting 60 percent from the field, Wiggins has provided top-100 fantasy value over the past week, receiving a boost due to the absences of Luguentz Dort and Alex Caruso. He’ll continue to have added value if those two can’t play in Wednesday’s NBA Cup quarterfinal against the Suns.

Following an 11-game absence, Wiggins will be back in the lineup against Portland. He started in the last game he played in, but with the backcourt rotation completely healthy, he’ll likely play a limited role off the bench, which won’t be enough time for him to make a fantasy impact.

Wiggins has not appeared in a game since November 5, leaving the Thunder down an option on the bench. Isaiah Joe has taken on added importance, having hit double figures in three of his last four games. If Oklahoma City is also without Shai Gilgeous-Alexander on Wednesday, Joe will be worth the add.

Wiggins will miss a fifth straight game, which means additional opportunities should be available for Isaiah Joe and Ajay Mitchell. Mitchell has been starting with Lu Dort (shoulder) sidelined, and even if Dort returns, Mitchell should continue to see meaningful minutes off the bench. Joe’s minutes figure to take the biggest hit when Dort returns, even if Wiggins remains out.

While Wiggins’ value in category leagues hasn’t been great thus far, he has been a valuable option for fantasy managers needing points and three-pointers. He notched season-highs in both categories on Wednesday, taking advantage of the move into the starting lineup due to Chet Holmgren’s absence. Wiggins is rostered in 17 percent of Yahoo! leagues, which is a fair percentage due to the role and production. He’ll remain a specialist in fantasy leagues, but there would be added streaming value if Luguentz Dort (shoulder) misses additional time.

Wiggins has started two of Oklahoma City’s five games and has been productive in both. He didn’t match the 23 points scored in the Thunder’s October 23 win over the Pacers, but Wiggins did record a complete stat line on Tuesday. Wiggins did his damage offensively in the first three quarters, shooting 7-of-11 from the field. With Chet Holmgren (back) likely returning on Thursday against the Wizards, Wiggins should slide back into his usual reserve role.

The Thunder will be without Chet Holmgren for Tuesday’s game, opening up a spot in the starting lineup. Wiggins will fill the void, and he’s worth streaming in deep leagues. Also worth a look is Ajay Mitchell, who’s played well to begin the season. In addition to Holmgren, the Thunder remain without Jalen Williams (wrist).

With Cason Wallace (knee) sidelined, Wiggins slid into the starting lineup and ended up having a solid night. Rostered in 11 percent of Yahoo! leagues, if Wallace remains out for another game, Wiggins will be worthy of a stream. The Thunder’s next game is on Saturday in Atlanta. A five-game slate makes him an even more enticing streamer. He had 10 points in 21 minutes in the season-opening win over the Rockets.

With Cason Wallace (knee) sidelined, Aaron Wiggins will get the starting nod on the wing in his place. Wiggins had 10 points in 21 minutes off the bench on Wednesday but should see a significant bump in minutes against Indiana. Ajay Mitchell, who had 16 points off the bench against the Rockets, should also get some extra minutes.

While Alex Caruso has garnered the most attention among the Thunder reserves in the NBA Finals, Wiggins has stepped up with two quality performances. Monday night, he hit double figures for the first time since Game 2, when he scored 18 points in a win. Wiggins and Cason Wallace (11/2/0/4/1 with three three-pointers) combined for 25 points in Game 5, helping to counter the excellent showing by Pacers backup guard T.J. McConnell. Wiggins’ inconsistency makes him a challenging player to trust fully, but he’s shown the ability to have an impact on multiple occasions this postseason.

After only scoring 28 points in Game 1, Oklahoma City’s reserves were more impactful in Game 2, finishing with 48. Wiggins helped lead the way, as the 18 points were the most he’s scored in a game since the Thunder’s Game 1 win over the Grizzlies in the first round. Expecting production of this caliber from Wiggins consistently would be a bit much. Still, he’ll need to be a factor, especially if Oklahoma City continues to start Cason Wallace (4/3/1/2/1 in 24 minutes). Sunday’s rout was a reminder of what Wiggins is capable of offensively.

Even if one accepts that New Orleans is one of the NBA’s worst teams, Sunday’s victory was another example of Oklahoma City’s depth. Down most of their critical rotation pieces, the Thunder still rolled, with Wiggins among the standouts. In wins over the Jazz and Pelicans to end the season, he scored 63 points on 22-of-42 shooting from the field. Wiggins will be in the playoff rotation, but the role won’t be as robust as it was with players like Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Jalen Williams unavailable.

With the typical starters getting the night off, Wiggins was the primary scorer for Oklahoma City in this game, which allowed him to have his highest-scoring performance since his 41-point night in February. He had 22 points in the first half and kept it going after the break. Wiggins will return to being a valuable reserve for the Thunder in the postseason, but unless they rest him for the finale in New Orleans on Sunday, he should be in for another big scoring night to wrap up the regular season.

Both wings will be back in the lineup after Wiggins missed Oklahoma City’s last five games, while Caruso only missed one game. The Thunder will be at nearly full strength for the showdown between the top two teams in the West, which means Isaiah Joe and Cason Wallace should lose out on some minutes.

Ducas’ continued absence does not impact fantasy basketball, as he is not in the Thunder rotation when he is healthy. As for Wiggins, more minutes have become available to Isaiah Joe and Alex Caruso, with the latter being worthy of a look in standard leagues. Joe is an option for deeper formats, but the potential return of Cason Wallace would lower his ceiling.

After a four-game slump in which he averaged 5.3 points per game on 26.7 percent shooting, Wiggins has bounced back with three straight double-digit efforts. He has primarily been a points and three-pointers option, ranking outside the top 150 in eight-cat formats over the past month. Wiggins and the Thunder play three games during Week 21, starting with the Kings in the final contest of their road trip on Tuesday.
