Isaiah Joe Isaiah Joe has 17 points, four threes in loss
Thu, Feb 12, 2026, 4:08 PM
Isaiah Joe had 17 points (5-of-11 FGs, 3-of-3 FTs), four rebounds, two assists and four three-pointers in Thursday's loss to the Bucks.
Analysis: Joe continues to pick up some of the slack with Shai Gilgeous-Alexander out. The 26-year-old guard has shown over the last six games that he's not going to contribute much in the other categories, but he can provide 17 points and three three-pointers every night. Joe will have value as long as this arrangement and his solid play continue. |

Isaiah Joe OKC starts Wallace, Joe, Dort, Williams and Chet
Thu, Feb 12, 2026, 1:22 PM
Thunder will start Cason Wallace, Isaiah Joe, Luguentz Dort, Kenrich Williams and Chet Holmgren on Thursday against the Bucks.
Analysis: With Isaiah Hartenstein (injury management) and Jalen Williams (hamstring) ruled out, Isaiah Joe and Kenrich Williams will slide into the starting lineup Thursday against the Bucks. Joe has averaged 17 points, 3.6 three-pointers and shot 54.5 percent from the field over his last five games. |

Isaiah Hartenstein Isaiah Hartenstein (calf) out Thursday vs. Bucks
Thu, Feb 12, 2026, 9:44 AM
NBA Injury Report
Isaiah Hartenstein (calf) is out for Thursday's matchup with the Bucks.
Analysis: Hartenstein will get the night off for the second leg of Oklahoma City's back-to-back set, which means Chet Holmgren should shoulder the load at center. Jaylin Williams will likely see a big bump in playing time, as Jalen Williams is also out. |

Jalen Williams Jalen Williams (hamstring) out Thursday vs. Bucks
Thu, Feb 12, 2026, 8:59 AM
NBA Injury Report
Jalen Williams (hamstring) is out for Thursday's matchup with Milwaukee.
Analysis: J-Dub went off for 28 points in Wednesday's win over the Suns, but he'll sit out the second leg of OKC's back-to-back set. He's still not playing a full allotment of minutes, so his absence isn't surprising. Fantasy managers will hope that Williams can use the time off to get healthy for the final stretch of the season. |

Isaiah Joe Isaiah Joe scores 21 points with six triples
Wed, Feb 11, 2026, 6:33 PM
Isaiah Joe provided a boost off the bench with 21 points (6-of-10 FGs), one rebound, one assist and six three-pointers on Wednesday against the Suns.
Analysis: Joe was the leading scorer for OKC's bench unit in this game, but it was a group effort to get the big win. Seven players scored in double figures for the Thunder, including five reserves. The bench unit accounted for 74 of OKC's 136 points, with Joe leading the way in just 18 minutes. Joe is an elite shooter that can have performances like his when he gets the opportunity, but the minutes haven't been consistent enough for him to be a standard league option. |

Jalen Williams Jalen Williams scores efficient 28 points in win
Wed, Feb 11, 2026, 6:26 PM
Clemente Almanza
Jalen Williams led the Thunder with 28 points (11-of-12 FGs), four rebounds, five assists and two three-pointers in a 136-109 win over the Suns on Wednesday.
Analysis: Williams struggled with his shot on Monday, which was his first game after missing nearly a month with a hamstring injury. However, he was incredibly efficient during his 20 minutes in this game. He only missed one shot in the blowout win. This was the first leg of a back-to-back, so there is certainly a chance that Williams sits out against the Bucks on Thursday, especially after exiting to get his hamstring attended to. |

Isaiah Joe Isaiah Joe contributes 19/3/2/2 line off bench
Mon, Feb 9, 2026, 7:02 PM
Isaiah Joe provided a boost off the bench with 19 points (6-of-13 FGs), three rebounds, two assists, two steals and four three-pointers against the Lakers on Monday.
Analysis: Joe has been red-hot recently, though only as a reserve. Over his last four games, he has averaged 20.7 points in the three games he came off the bench and scored just two points in his lone start. Joe has taken on more minutes due to the all the injuries in the backcourt and has been a decent streaming option as of late. He'll look to stay hot against the Suns on Wednesday. |

Jalen Williams Jalen Williams scores 23 points in return
Mon, Feb 9, 2026, 6:58 PM
Jalen Williams returned to the lineup on Monday and contributed 23 points (6-of-17 FGs, 11-of-13 FTs), three rebounds, one assist and one steal in a 119-110 win over the Lakers.
Analysis: After missing nearly a month with a hamstring injury, Williams was back in the lineup against Los Angeles. He was limited to 24 minutes, but he was able to make a strong impact despite a subpar shooting night. Nearly half his points came from the free throw line, which helped make up for his field goal percentage. Williams is typically able to contribute more value than he did in this game, but this was about getting him back on the floor. He'll likely continue to have his minutes managed and should miss back-to-backs. OKC plays in Phoenix on Wednesday and against the Bucks on Thursday; expect Williams to play against the Suns. |

Jalen Williams OKC starts Wallace, Dort, J-Dub, Holmgren, iHart
Mon, Feb 9, 2026, 3:45 PM
NBA Lineups
Cason Wallace, Luguentz Dort, Jalen Williams, Chet Holmgren and Isaiah Hartenstein will start Monday's game against the Lakers.
Analysis: Monday's game is the first for J-Dub since January 17, when he strained his hamstring during a loss to the Heat. Due to Williams' return, Aaron Wiggins will come off the bench, with his fantasy value taking a hit. |

Jalen Williams Jalen Williams (hamstring) off injury report
Sun, Feb 8, 2026, 3:42 PM
NBA Injury Report
Jalen Williams (hamstring) is not on the injury report for Monday's game against the Lakers.
Analysis: Injured during a January 17 loss to the Heat, Williams has been removed from the Thunder injury report for Monday's game. For Oklahoma City's most recent game, a February 7 loss to the Rockets, Aaron Wiggins was the fifth starter. Either he or Cason Wallace will head to the bench if the Thunder put J-Dub into the starting five immediately. |

Chet Holmgren Chet Holmgren has double-double in loss Saturday
Sat, Feb 7, 2026, 12:39 PM
Chet Holmgren had 17 points (5-of-10 FGs, 6-of-8 FTs), 14 rebounds and one three-pointer in Saturday's loss to the Rockets.
Analysis: Holmgren missed Wednesday's loss to the Spurs with a back injury, but this is his second double-double in a row going back to Tuesday's win over the Magic. The 23-year-old center has provided fifth-round per game value over the last two weeks, according to Basketball Monster. The Thunder have four games upcoming in Week 17, starting with a matchup against the Lakers on the road on Monday. |

Cason Wallace Cason Wallace has 23/4/4 line in loss to Rockets
Sat, Feb 7, 2026, 12:36 PM
Cason Wallace had 23 points (10-of-16 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), four rebounds, four assists, four steals and one three-pointer in Saturday's loss to the Rockets.
Analysis: Wallace continues to produce with the Thunder missing Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, who is out through the All-Star break at least. The 22-year-old guard led the Thunder with 23 points on 16 attempts and chipped in four rebounds and four assists. He also had four steals. Wallace is worth rostering in most leagues until SGA returns. |

Jalen Williams Jalen Williams (hamstring) ruled out vs. Houston
Fri, Feb 6, 2026, 12:54 PM
NBA Injury Report
Jalen Williams (hamstring) is out for Saturday's game against the Rockets.
Analysis: Williams has been out since suffering a strained right hamstring during a January 17 game against the Heat. With Shai Gilgeous-Alexander also out, the Thunder will likely turn to Aaron Wiggins to step in as the fifth starter. He is worth streaming while the Thunder await the return of two of their star players. |

Alex Caruso Alex Caruso (adductor) removed from injury report
Fri, Feb 6, 2026, 12:38 PM
NBA Injury Report
Alex Caruso (adductor) is off the injury report for Saturday's game against the Rockets.
Analysis: Caruso did not play in Wednesday's loss to the Spurs, one of many Thunder players who did not see action because it was part of a back-to-back. His return means fewer minutes for seldom-used reserves like Brooks Barnhizer and Chris Youngblood, who both played rotation minutes on Wednesday. |
|
Isaiah Hartenstein Hartenstein (eye) removed from injury report
Fri, Feb 6, 2026, 12:31 PM
NBA Injury Report
Isaiah Hartenstein) (eye) is not on the injury report for Saturday's game against the Rockets.
Analysis: With Oklahoma City playing its second game in as many nights, Hartenstein was held out of Wednesday's loss to the Spurs. His return means that Jaylin Williams heads to the bench, with JayWill's streaming value taking a hit. |
|
Luguentz Dort Luguentz Dort (knee) not listed on injury report
Fri, Feb 6, 2026, 12:31 PM
NBA Injury Report
Luguentz Dort (knee) is no longer listed on the injury report ahead of Saturday's game against the Rockets.
Analysis: After missing Wednesday's game against the Spurs, Dort appears to be on his way back to OKC's starting lineup. His return will provide the Thunder with another elite perimeter defender and a floor spacer. He's unlikely to have much fantasy value, as has been the case throughout much of the season. |
|
Chet Holmgren Chet Holmgren (back) absent from injury report
Fri, Feb 6, 2026, 12:26 PM
NBA Injury Report
Chet Holmgren (back) is off the injury report for Saturday's game against the Rockets.
Analysis: Holmgren was one of many key contributors who missed Wednesday's loss to the Spurs, which was Oklahoma City's second game in as many nights. His return means that Kenrich Williams will head to the bench, where he's nowhere near as effective in fantasy basketball. |

Cason Wallace Cason Wallace records 13/3/5/3/1 line vs. SAS
Wed, Feb 4, 2026, 6:11 PM
Cason Wallace recorded 13 points (6-of-16 FGs), three rebounds, five assists, three steals, one block and one three-pointer in Wednesday's loss to the Spurs.
Analysis: While he wasn't one of Oklahoma City's three 20-point scorers, Wallace recorded a complete stat line as the lone holdover in the starting lineup. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander will be out until the All-Star break at least, and Ajay Mitchell is also out due to injury. As a result, Wallace will be worth rostering in some 12-team leagues. Even with the Thunder playing just one more game in Week 16, he's worth adding now due to the team's injuries on the perimeter. |

Kenrich Williams Kenrich Williams scores season-high 25 points
Wed, Feb 4, 2026, 6:11 PM
Kenrich Williams finished Wednesday's loss to the Spurs with 25 points (9-of-18 FGs, 3-of-4 FTs), nine rebounds, two assists, one steal and four three-pointers.
Analysis: Williams recorded his second 20-point game, with the 25 being the most he's scored in a game this season. Add in the rebounds, and âKenny Hustleâ had a good night in San Antonio. His fantasy value moving forward depends on the availability of the Thunder frontcourt starters, but he'll be worth streaming when Oklahoma City is as shorthanded as it was on Thursday. |
|
Aaron Wiggins Aaron Wiggins posts 20 points, five steals vs. SAS
Wed, Feb 4, 2026, 6:11 PM
Aaron Wiggins accounted for 20 points (7-of-14 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), four rebounds, six assists, five steals and four three-pointers in Wednesday's loss to the Spurs.
Analysis: Wiggins matched his season-high in steals, recording five for the second time in less than a month. Add in the points, assists and three-pointers, and this was an excellent night to stream the former second-round pick. Oklahoma City is off until Saturday, so there isn't a pressing need to add Wiggins immediately. That said, he'll have deep-league value with Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Ajay Mitchell out. |
