Shai Gilgeous-Alexander SGA scores 37 as Thunder rout Trail Blazers
Sun, Nov 23, 2025, 3:34 PM
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander powered the Thunder to a decisive 122-95 win over the Trail Blazers on Sunday with a game-high 37 points (13-of-18 FGs, 9-of-9 FTs), five rebounds, seven assists and two steals over 30 minutes.
Analysis: The reigning MVP powered the defending champions to a surreal 17-1 start, exploding for a game-high 28 points in the first half on a hyper-efficient 10-of-11 shooting as the Thunder surged to a 67-46 halftime lead. He cooled off slightly in the third before calling it a night at the start of the fourth quarter with Oklahoma City up by 28 at the time. The 27-year-old generational talent is averaging an absurd 32.2 points, 4.8 rebounds, 6.6 assists, 1.5 steals and 0.8 blocks through 18 games. The Thunder are off until Wednesday when they open a three-game week with a showdown against the Timberwolves before facing the Suns and Trail Blazers again. |

Jalen Williams Jalen Williams (wrist) to remain out Sunday
Sat, Nov 22, 2025, 12:57 PM
NBA Injury Report
Jalen Williams (wrist) is out for Sunday's game against the Trail Blazers.
Analysis: Williams has yet to make his season debut, and updates from the Thunder have been scarce. Cason Wallace will remain in the starting lineup until that changes, while Ajay Mitchell and Isaiah Joe have added value off the bench. |

Aaron Wiggins Aaron Wiggins (adductor) out Sunday vs. Portland
Sat, Nov 22, 2025, 12:52 PM
NBA Injury Report
Aaron Wiggins (adductor) is out for Sunday's game against the Trail Blazers.
Analysis: Wiggins has not played since November 5, but the Thunder have not provided a timeline for his return. With Jalen Williams also out, there have been additional minutes available to Ajay Mitchell and Isaiah Joe. Of the two, Mitchell is the player whom managers should prioritize on the waiver wire. |

Isaiah Joe Isaiah Joe hits four three-pointers vs. Utah
Fri, Nov 21, 2025, 6:39 PM
Isaiah Joe accounted for 16 points (5-of-6 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), two assists, two steals and four three-pointers in Friday's win over the Jazz.
Analysis: With Aaron Wiggins inactive for Oklahoma City's last eight games, Joe has been one of the reserves the Thunder have sought increased production from. Over the past two weeks, he's averaged 12.4 points and 2.7 three-pointers per game, shooting 40.7 percent from the field. Joe did record two steals to supplement his points and triples on Friday. Still, that needs to be the case more consistently if he's to emerge as a player who must be streamed while the Thunder await the returns of Wiggins and Jalen Williams. |

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander SGA tallies 31 points, eight assists vs. Utah
Fri, Nov 21, 2025, 6:38 PM
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander finished Friday's win over the Jazz with 31 points (9-of-14 FGs, 10-of-12 FTs), two rebounds, eight assists, one steal, one block and three three-pointers.
Analysis: Another game, and another 30-point outing for the reigning league MVP. Gilgeous-Alexander has scored at least 30 points in 14 of his 17 appearances this season, an unsurprising development given his production in recent seasons. So far, only Nikola Joki? and Victor Wembanyama have been more valuable than SGA in fantasy basketball this season. And he's more than capable of cracking that top-2 at some point. |

Aaron Wiggins Aaron Wiggins (adductor) to remain out Friday
Thu, Nov 20, 2025, 1:57 PM
NBA Injury Report
Aaron Wiggins (adductor) is out for Friday's game against the Jazz.
Analysis: Wiggins has missed Oklahoma City's last seven games, freeing up additional minutes for the other reserves. Ajay Mitchell, Isaiah Joe and Alex Caruso have benefited the most, especially with Jalen Williams also out due to injury. |

Jalen Williams Jalen Williams (wrist) out Friday vs. Utah
Thu, Nov 20, 2025, 1:53 PM
NBA Injury Report
Jalen Williams (wrist) is out for Friday's game against the Jazz.
Analysis: Williams, who was expected to be re-evaluated late last week, still is not ready to make his first in-game appearance of the season. With Aaron Wiggins also out for Friday's game, Ajay Mitchell and Isaiah Joe will continue to figure more prominently in the Thunder rotation. Mitchell has proved to be the superior streaming option this season. |

Chet Holmgren Chet Holmgren has 21 points in win over Kings
Wed, Nov 19, 2025, 5:36 PM
Chet Holmgren had 21 points (10-of-15 FGs), seven rebounds, one assists, one steal, three blocks and one three-pointer against the Kings on Wednesday.
Analysis: Holmgren had at least 20 points for the third game in a row. The 23-year-old center was 1-of-5 from behind the three-point line, which means he was 9-of-10 on two-point field goals. Holmgren has played at least 30 minutes in three consecutive games after 20 and 25 minutes in the two games before that stretch. He could see his minutes reduced due to a blowout against the Jazz on Friday. |

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander SGA has 33 points Wednesday in win over Kings
Wed, Nov 19, 2025, 5:21 PM
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander had 33 points (12-of-24 FGs, 8-10 FTs), eight rebounds, three assists, two steals, one three-pointer in the Thunder's 113-99 victory over the Kings on Wednesday.
Analysis: SGA dropped a game-high 33 points as the Thunder improved to 15-1 on the season. The 27-year-old point guard isn't Nikola Jokic, but that's really the only criticism that applies to Gilgeous-Alexander anymore. SGA and the Thunder take on the Jazz on Friday, when not playing enough minutes due to a blowout is a concern. |

Aaron Wiggins Aaron Wiggins (adductor) out Wednesday vs. SAC
Tue, Nov 18, 2025, 12:04 PM
NBA Injury Report
Aaron Wiggins (adductor) is out for Wednesday's game against the Kings.
Analysis: Wiggins has not appeared in a game since November 5, missing Oklahoma City's last six games. Wednesday will make seven, raising the fantasy ceilings of Ajay Mitchell and Isaiah Joe. Mitchell, who has been consistently productive this season, should be rostered until the Thunder are whole. |

Luguentz Dort Luguentz Dort has 17 points, four threes Monday
Mon, Nov 17, 2025, 5:33 PM
Luguentz Dort had 17 points (5-of-9 FGs, 3-of-3 FTs), one rebound, one assist, one steal, one block and four three-pointers against the Pelicans on Monday.
Analysis: Dort returned from a four-game absence with a shoulder injury on Saturday against the Hornets, but had just three points in 22 minutes. The 26-year-old shooting guard got another start and had more of an impact on Monday against the Pelicans. Dort filled up the stat sheet and had 17 points and four three-pointers. While Ajay Mitchell played well in Dort's absence, Dort's minutes have been unchanged since he's returned. |

Chet Holmgren Chet Holmgren has game-high 26 points in win
Mon, Nov 17, 2025, 5:27 PM
Chet Holmgren had 26 points (10-of-14 FGs, 3-of-4 FTs), nine rebounds, one block and three three-pointers against the Pelicans on Monday.
Analysis: Holmgren had at least 25 points for the second consecutive games and fourth time in his last five games. The 23-year-old center was excellent, shooting 10-of-14 from the field and making three three-pointers. Holmgren's biggest threat to his fantasy value is lack of minutes from getting pulled early in blowout wins. |

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has 23 points in win
Mon, Nov 17, 2025, 5:22 PM
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander had 23 points (5-of-9 FGs, 10-of-10 FTs), two rebounds, eight assists, three steals and three three-pointers in the Thunder's 126-109 victory over the Pelicans on Monday.
Analysis: SGA only took nine shots in the blowout win. The 27-year-old point guard had no problem finding the open man with eight assists. He also got to the free throw at will and made all 10 of his free throw attempts. Gilgeous-Alexander was efficient as usual, but only 28 minutes as the Thunder weren't pushed much against the Pelicans. This is starting to become a theme for SGA this season as the Thunder remain a top team with lots of blowout wins. |

Alex Caruso Alex Caruso (hand) good to go Monday vs. Pelicans
Mon, Nov 17, 2025, 9:47 AM
NBA Injury Report
Alex Caruso (hand) is available for Monday's matchup with the Pelicans.
Analysis: Caruso exited Saturday's matchup with the Hornets early with the hand injury, but it won't cost him any time. Expect him to handle a similar workload. |

Alex Caruso Alex Caruso (hand) questionable Monday vs. NOR
Sun, Nov 16, 2025, 1:04 PM
NBA Injury Report
Alex Caruso (hand) is questionable for Monday's game against the Pelicans.
Analysis: Caruso exited Saturday's win over the Hornets with a sore right hand and did not return. As a result, Ajay Mitchell played 31 minutes off the bench and could be in for a similar workload if Caruso cannot play against the Pelicans. |

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander SGA puts up 33/4/7/2 line in win over Hornets
Sat, Nov 15, 2025, 3:49 PM
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander led the Thunder with 33 points (13-of-19 FGs), four rebounds, seven assists, two steals and three three-pointers in a 109-96 win over the Hornets on Saturday.
Analysis: SGA was able to add another 30-point game to his total this year; he has reached that total in 12 of their 14 games. This was also the sixth time that he scored 30 while playing less than 30 minutes. SGA has unsurprisingly been one of the best players in fantasy basketball once again this season, and he would be even better if his minutes weren't limited by lopsided scores so often. |

Chet Holmgren Chet scores 25 points, adds eight boards in win
Sat, Nov 15, 2025, 3:34 PM
Chet Holmgren lit up the Hornets with 25 points (10-of-20 FGs), eight rebounds, two assists, one block and two three-pointers on Saturday.
Analysis: Holmgren started the season on a scoring tear, but he hasn't been able to pour in the points as much lately, mostly due to lopsided scores. This was the third time he's reached 25 points this season, with the other two coming during the first three games of the year. His 20 shot attempts were also a season-best. The main limitation for Holmgren this season has been the amount of blowout wins, but he's been really good in his minutes. This game was close enough that he was able to play 32 minutes, which is the most he's played in a game this month. |

Alex Caruso Alex Caruso (hand) will not return vs. Charlotte
Sat, Nov 15, 2025, 2:25 PM
Brandon Rahbar
Alex Caruso (hand) will not return to Saturday's game against the Hornets.
Analysis: Caruso was only able to play about two minutes before injuring his hand, which ended his night early. Ajay Mitchell and Isaiah Joe should take on extra minutes in this game with Caruso unavailable off the bench. |
|
Luguentz Dort Dort starting in return, Ajay Mitchell to bench
Sat, Nov 15, 2025, 12:43 PM
Brandon Rahbar
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Cason Wallace, Luguentz Dort, Chet Holmgren and Isaiah Hartenstein will start against the Hornets on Saturday.
Analysis: Following a four-game absence, Dort will be back in the starting unit. His return will push Ajay Mitchell to the bench, where he has had success this season. |
|
Luguentz Dort Luguentz Dort (shoulder) available Saturday
Sat, Nov 15, 2025, 8:37 AM
NBA Injury Report
Luguentz Dort (shoulder) is available for Saturday's game against the Hornets.
Analysis: Dort is available after a four-game absence, making an excellent Thunder defense that much better. His return means Ajay Mitchell will likely head back to the bench, but this should not be viewed as a reason to move away from the second-year guard. Whether he starts or comes off the bench, Mitchell has provided reliable fantasy value this season. |
