Joe injured his left knee during the preseason, forcing him to miss the Thunder’s first five games of the regular season. Look for players like Ousmane Dieng and Chris Youngblood to absorb the minutes that would have gone to Joe, but neither is worth streaming in fantasy leagues.

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.

Caruso will miss a fourth straight game with a right quad contusion. His absence leaves additional minutes for Aaron Wiggins, who is worth picking up in deep leagues due to the Thunder also missing other rotation players.

With Sunday’s game being the last that Oklahoma City will play before Wednesday’s NBA Cup quarterfinal matchup with the Suns, Gilgeous-Alexander gets some extra time off. Ajay Mitchell, who has already been productive enough to merit being rostered in deeper leagues, will have 12-team league value for Sunday.

Holmgren made the most of his 23 minutes on Friday, tying a team-high in rebounds and finishing as one of OKC’s top-three scorers on the evening. He played his role well on both ends of the floor, with another blowout victory not requiring much individual production from the former Gonzaga Bulldog. Holmgren has scored at least 15 points in four straight games and flirted with a double-double in each — he’ll have a chance to earn one on Sunday against the Jazz.

Williams was steady in his fourth game of the season. He logged only 24 minutes, which was his lowest of the season, likely as a result of the large margin the Thunder led by before cruising to their 22nd win. In his minutes, Williams tied a team-high in rebounds and made contributions as a facilitator, all while finishing as one of OKC’s top scorers. He’s worked his way into the season rather well and should only become more productive the further he is removed from the wrist injury.

Once again, SGA dominated on the offensive end. The reigning MVP needed only 29 minutes of action and three quarters of basketball to reach the 30-point mark for the 19th time this season, which he did on extremely efficient shooting and with great production from the free-throw line. Gilgeous-Alexander also led the Thunder in assists and continues to lead OKC in its pursuit of a second NBA championship. The Thunder, with a 22-1 record, are on pace for the best regular-season record in NBA history.

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.

Friday’s game will be the third that Caruso has missed since suffering a right quad contusion. While his absence does not affect the starting lineup, it does free up additional minutes for multiple wings, including Isaiah Joe and Aaron Wiggins.

While Williams said after Tuesday’s victory that he still hasn’t reached the point where he’s entirely comfortable on the floor, the Thunder forward’s production has improved from game to game. His scoring output has increased every time out, with J-Dub recording his first 20-point stat line in his third game back from offseason wrist surgery. And while he missed all four of his three-point attempts, the percentages from the field and the foul line were encouraging. Williams has attempted only five three-pointers across three games, and that may be the aspect of his offensive game that takes the most time to get back to speed. But he’s clearly on the right track.

Oklahoma City’s win streak hit 13 games on Tuesday, and Holmgren has seven 20-point games during the run. On Tuesday, he shot 66.7 percent from the field and was a steal shy of a complete stat line. Over the past month, he has provided sixth-round value in nine-cat formats. That doesn’t align with Holmgren’s Yahoo! ADP (26), but it’s not like he’s been a disappointment in fantasy basketball. Plus, the skill set is such that he’s capable of going on a run that would get his value closer to preseason expectations.

While the Warriors used increased defensive intensity and various looks to get back into Tuesday’s game, their inability to slow down the reigning MVP was the difference. After Pat Spencer hit a shot with 4:54 remaining to give the Warriors a one-point lead, Gilgeous-Alexander and the Thunder went on an 8-0 run to take the lead for good, with the MVP responsible for five of those points. Regarding season-long fantasy value, only Nikola Jokić and Victor Wembanyama have been better than SGA, and the latter is currently out with a calf injury.

An adductor injury has sidelined Luguentz Dort, opening up a spot in the starting lineup. Mitchell, who has provided solid fantasy value whether he starts or comes off the bench, will fill the void. He should already be rostered in 14-team leagues, and some 12-team leagues as well. The other four starters are unchanged.

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.

This will be a second straight absence for Caruso, and with Luguentz Dort sidelined as well, Isaiah Joe, Cason Wallace, Aaron Wiggins and Ajay Mitchell will all see a bump in minutes. Mitchell led that group of four in minutes with 29 on Sunday.

SGA wasn’t able to keep his 35-point streak going, but he was able to do enough to help the Thunder extend their winning streak to 12 games. This was a decent performance for SGA, but he has been good enough that his will actually drop his scoring average. He’ll look to “bounce back” against the Warriors on Tuesday to kick off a three-game week.

Mitchell exited early from Friday’s game with a knee contusion, but that didn’t hold him out of this game. In fact, it didn’t do much to limit his production. Aside from Friday’s game, when he exited after just four minutes, Mitchell has scored in double figures in all but one game. It’s early, but Mitchell has a strong case to win Sixth Man of the Year at this point, which is a huge development for a second-round pick in his second season.

Portland played this game without Donovan Clingan (illness), and they didn’t replace him with a traditional center. That made Holmgren the biggest player in either starting lineup, but he wasn’t able to truly dominate the glass. He led Oklahoma City in rebounding, and each team finished with exactly 49 boards, but this was an opportunity for Holmgren to have a big rebounding night. Still, he was able to turn in a full stat line. With Isaiah Hartenstein sidelined for at least a few games, Holmgren will need to control the glass.

With Caruso out, Isaiah Joe and Cason Wallace could see an uptick in playing time. Aaron Wiggins is making his return following a lengthy absence, and he could see some additional run as well.

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.

Mitchell is not on the injury report after leaving Friday’s win over the Suns with a left knee contusion. With Jalen Williams and Aaron Wiggins in the fold, Mitchell will be relegated to a bench role. While he will play rotation minutes, his fantasy ceiling is considerably lower than it was earlier in the season.

That timeline has Hartenstein being re-evaluated between Dec. 9-13 after he was diagnosed with a right soleus strain. Jalen Williams filled Hartenstein’s spot in the starting unit in his return to the lineup. Jaylin Williams saw a bump in minutes with Hartenstein unavailable and should take on a larger role until he returns.

Caruso’s fantasy production hasn’t replicated how effective he is on the floor, but his second-highest minutes total of the year (24) allowed him to have a decent night in this one. He still didn’t do much scoring, but he was able to contribute decent value in other categories. Still, his role has been too inconsistent for him to be worth rostering in most formats.

SGA continues to dominate every single night. He has scored at least 20 points in every game this season, and this was his third straight scoring at least 35 points. He has also maintained an efficient field goal percentage throughout the year, having shot at least 50 percent in all but five games. The reigning MVP just keeps getting better and better, and he’ll look to wrap up the week on a high note in Portland on Sunday.

After missing the first 19 games of the season, Williams was available to suit up for the first time this year. He immediately returned to the starting lineup, but with Isaiah Hartenstein unavailable, there were no other changes to the opening group. Williams had a subpar shooting night, but the rest of the production in his 29 minutes was a welcome sight. Williams will continue to improve as he logs more games, with a trip to Portland on Sunday up next on the schedule

Mitchell suffered a left knee contusion during the first half of Friday’s game, playing just five minutes. His absence will likely result in a few more minutes for Cason Wallace, especially if Oklahoma City doesn’t want to push Jalen Williams too far as he makes his season debut.

Williams is ready to make his first appearance of the season, forcing a change to the Thunder starting lineup. He replaces Isaiah Hartenstein, who is out with an ankle injury. The other four starters are unchanged, with the winner of Friday’s matchup earning a spot in the NBA Cup quarterfinals.

Hartenstein will sit this one out due to right ankle soreness which could lead to more minutes for Jaylin Williams. Jalen Williams will make his season debut, and he will pick up some of the slack as well. Oklahoma City could deploy a smaller lineup, and Ajay Mitchell is a candidate to see increased run against Phoenix.

At long last, Williams is ready to make his season debut after undergoing wrist surgery not too long after the Thunder won the NBA title in June. Given the time missed, there will likely be a minutes restriction, even though the Thunder have not released an official number for the versatile forward. And with Oklahoma City boasting a league-best 18-1 record, there’s no need for the team to force too much upon Williams in his first game back.

Hartenstein was one of four Thunder players to score in double figures on Wednesday. As usual, his scoring was mostly done inside the arc, but with some inefficient free-throw shooting adding a bit more to his scoring total. He added a couple of stocks on the defensive end and wasn’t as productive on the glass as he usually is. He’ll have an opportunity to log a more productive line on Friday against the Suns.
