Caruso will be sidelined for a fourth straight game, as the Thunder look to snap a two-game skid and get back in the win column. With Caruso, Jalen Williams, and Ajay Mitchell unavailable, Cason Wallace (hip), if healthy, would be a nice streaming option for Tuesday’s contest. Kenrich Williams and Isaiah Joe could also see quality minutes and have opportunities to produce.

Wallace left Sunday’s loss to the Raptors due to what was described as a sore groin, but he’s on the injury report for Tuesday due to a sore left hip. With Ajay Mitchell (abdominals) already out, Aaron Wiggins would be the most likely starter if Wallace can’t play against New Orleans.

Tuesday’s absence will mark the third straight for the second-year guard out of Santa Barbara, who is enjoying a breakout sophomore campaign. Mitchell, despite spending most of the season as a reserve, is averaging 14.1 points, 3.5 rebounds, 3.7 assists, and 1.4 steals per game. His two-way versatility will be missed as the Thunder try to snap a two-game losing streak.

Hartenstein will miss his 16th consecutive game on Tuesday when the defending champs host the Pelicans and look to snap a two-game losing streak. Since his last appearance on December 28, the Thunder have gone 10-5. Hartenstein’s interior presence is missed, but while he remains out, Jaylin Williams and Chet Holmgren will likely continue to soak up the frontcourt minutes.

Coming off a 47-point outing against the Pacers on Friday, Gilgeous-Alexander had just 24 points in Sunday’s loss to the Raptors. SGA was efficient, taking just 11 field goal attempts and making 8-of-10 free throws. He’s been the top player in per game value over the last two weeks. The Thunder have three games in the upcoming week, starting with a matchup against the Pelicans on Tuesday.

Wallace played 16 minutes before being ruled out for the rest of Sunday’s game, finishing with three points, one rebound and one assist. Aaron Wiggins entered the lineup to begin the third quarter, and he would have deep-league streaming value if Wallace misses time.

Aaron Wiggins is back after a two-game absence, but he will come off the bench. JayWill is the fifth starter for Sunday’s game, with Isaiah Joe moving to the bench. Williams isn’t a great streaming option here, as SGA and Holmgren are available.

Wiggins is back after missing the Thunder’s last two games with a groin injury. It’s possible that he starts with Ajay Mitchell sidelined, but Isaiah Joe is another option at Mark Daigneault’s disposal if the Thunder decide to restrict Wiggins’ minutes.

Wiggins has missed Oklahoma City’s last two games, with Isaiah Joe receiving the starting nod in Friday’s loss to the Pacers. When both are available, Wiggins offers a higher fantasy ceiling when allowed to start.

Caruso will miss a third consecutive game since suffering a strained right adductor during a January 19 win over the Cavaliers. Due to the injuries on the perimeter, more minutes have been available to Isaiah Joe and Cason Wallace, with the latter being the superior fantasy option.

Joe started on Friday but was one of many Thunder players to struggle. He went without a made three-pointer for the first time since January 9 against Memphis, and wasn’t able to make much of an impact in any other area. Joe will almost certainly have better games moving forward as one of the NBA’s premier three-point specialists, but when he’s not making shots, his final lines can look a lot like Friday’s.

Holmgren was highly productive in his 33 minutes of game action. In the loss, he made more than half of his shot attempts, contributed from beyond the arc, and was stellar on the glass. And to complement his offensive success, Holmgren added a few blocks on the defensive end. The strong two-way performance isn’t anything new for the former Gonzaga Bulldog. He should remain a nightly double-double threat the rest of the season.

Gilgeous-Alexander did all that he could on Friday to collect a win in the Finals rematch against the Pacers, but even a near 50-point performance wasn’t enough to secure the win. The reigning MVP worked mostly inside the arc to get his buckets and was his usual productive self from the free-throw line. His four assists weren’t particularly high, but it’s notable that he tied a team-high in this game. He came up with a couple of stocks to boost his production from a fantasy standpoint. And despite the loss, he put together yet another fantastic outing.

Joe will make his first start of the season on Friday, replacing Ajay Mitchell, who started against the Bucks on Wednesday. The Thunder have won seven of their last eight games and appear to be back on track following back-to-back blowout wins. They remain atop the Western Conference standings and own the NBA’s best record.

Wiggins will sit out a second straight game, and with Ajay Mitchell (abdominal strain) ruled out too, Isaiah Joe could be in line for a spot start against a favorable Pacers defense.

Williams was also questionable ahead of Wednesday’s win over the Bucks, but he did not play. If JayWill has to miss another game, Kenrich Williams and Branden Carlson will benefit the most in terms of playing time. “Kenny Hustle” would be worthy of streaming consideration in deep leagues, but he should not be considered a must-add player.

Caruso suffered a strained right adductor during Monday’s win over the Cavaliers, and Friday’s game will be the second that he’s missed since. Cason Wallace and Isaiah Joe have picked up a few additional minutes in Caruso’s absence, with the former starting due to Jalen Williams being out. Of the two, Wallace offers a higher fantasy upside.

Wiggins missed Wednesday’s game, which allowed Ajay Mitchell to start in his place. However, Mitchell has been ruled out on Friday with an abdominal strain. Wiggins should start if he plays, but if he remains out, Isaiah Joe should slide in as a starter.

Still without a return timeline, Hartenstein has not appeared in a game since December 28. Aaron Wiggins could be tabbed to fill the void in the starting lineup on Friday, but he’s listed as questionable. Isaiah Joe and Kenrich Williams are potential alternatives, with the former offering higher fantasy upside.

Mitchell exited early from Wednesday’s game and will remain out against Indiana. He started in place of the injured Aaron Wiggins (groin), though he is questionable for Friday’s game. If Wiggins remains out as well, Isaiah Joe should be next in line to start.

Already down a few rotation players, the Thunder lost Ajay Mitchell during Wednesday’s game with a hip contusion. The absences created opportunities for Williams to increase his production, and “Kenny Hustle” had one of his best games of the season. Wednesday’s game was his sixth this season in double figures, and the 18 points were three shy of his season-high. There’s no need to add Williams after this performance, but there may come a time later this season when his playing time increases due to other players resting for the postseason.

The Bucks had no answer for the reigning MVP, who was on his “A game” Wednesday night. Gilgeous-Alexander’s three misses were shots that he usually makes at a high clip, and he finished three rebounds shy of a triple-double. With Nikola Jokić sidelined by a knee injury, an argument can be made that Gilgeous-Alexander is the best player in fantasy basketball. And SGA could be in for another big night as the Thunder hosts the Pacers on Friday.

Inserted into the starting lineup due to Aaron Wiggins being out, Mitchell played 25 minutes before exiting with a right hip contusion. The second-year guard was productive while on the floor, finishing with 18 points (8-of-12 FGs), three rebounds, two assists, two steals and two three-pointers in 25 minutes.

The Thunder are without two players who started Monday’s win over the Cavaliers in Aaron Wiggins and Jaylin Williams. Dort will fill one of the voids in his return to action, with Mitchell filling the other. While Mitchell should already be rostered in some 12-team leagues, fantasy managers can afford to leave Dort alone.

Hartenstein has not appeared in a game since December 28, and it’s unknown when he’ll be healthy enough to return. Jaylin Williams entered the starting lineup for Monday’s win over the Cavaliers, due mainly to the matchup. Aaron Wiggins is a more secure streaming option while Hartenstein remains out.

Holmgren has been excellent in fantasy hoops this season, but he hasn’t had many big scoring nights like this one. This was only the fourth time he scored at least 28 points in a game, with two of those coming in his first three games. Holmgren dominated the matchup against the Cleveland bigs, and he ranks inside the top 10 in nine-cat value over the past two weeks. He’ll look to stay hot against the Bucks on Wednesday.
