Ousmane Dieng Ousmane Dieng (calf) not on injury report vs. LAC
Mon, Nov 3, 2025, 2:49 PM
NBA Injury Report
Ousmane Dieng (calf) is not on the injury report against the Clippers on Tuesday.
Analysis: Dieng exited early from Sunday's game, but he was only playing because of the lopsided score. He'll be available against the Clippers, but he won't play much of a role, if he sees the floor at all. |

Jaylin Williams Jaylin Williams (shoulder) questionable Tuesday
Mon, Nov 3, 2025, 2:45 PM
NBA Injury Report
Jaylin Williams (shoulder) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Clippers.
Analysis: Williams, who started Sunday's win over the Pelicans in place of the ill Luguentz Dort, is dealing with a sprained left shoulder. The impact of JayWill's potential absence hinges upon Dort's availability, as he is also questionable for Tuesday night. If Dort returns, Williams' opportunities will decrease, especially with Chet Holmgren (back) available. |

Luguentz Dort Luguentz Dort (illness) questionable Tuesday
Mon, Nov 3, 2025, 2:41 PM
NBA Injury Report
Luguentz Dort (illness) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Clippers.
Analysis: Dort did not play in Sunday's win over the Pelicans, so the Thunder inserted Jaylin Williams into the starting lineup. Williams is also questionable for Tuesday's game with a shoulder injury, so the Thunder may have to go even deeper into their bench if JayWill and Dort cannot play. Aaron Wiggins, Isaiah Joe and Cason Wallace are healthy, and all would have increased fantasy value if Dort sits. |

Chet Holmgren Chet Holmgren (back) removed from injury report
Mon, Nov 3, 2025, 2:34 PM
NBA Injury Report
Chet Holmgren (back) is not on the injury report for Tuesday's game against the Clippers.
Analysis: Holmgrem has missed the last three games with a sprained lower back. Aaron Wiggins has performed admirably in the forward's absence, and he'll return to the bench. Wiggins is still worth holding onto in deep leagues, as the Thunder are still without Jalen Williams (wrist). |

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander SGA pours in 30 points Sunday in win over Pelicans
Sun, Nov 2, 2025, 12:25 PM
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander amassed 30 points (8-of-14 FGs, 13-of-13 FTs), two rebounds, seven assists, one steal and one three-pointer in the win over the Pelicans on Sunday.
Analysis: The Thunder remained undefeated on the season, and Gilgeous-Alexander led the way with another game of at least 30 points scored ??" his sixth time going over 30 in the first seven games of the season. The reigning league MVP was very efficient on Sunday, finding a good chunk of production from the free-throw line and ultimately saw his night end after just 30 minutes, thanks to a large OKC lead during the fourth quarter. SGA has gotten off to another strong start to begin the season and could very well find himself in MVP talks again. |

Cason Wallace Cason Wallace scores 13, adds five steals vs. NOP
Sun, Nov 2, 2025, 12:05 PM
Cason Wallace tallied 13 points (4-of-5 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), one assist, five steals and three three-pointers in Sunday's win over the Pelicans.
Analysis: Wallace has been one of the league's most active defenders so far through the first couple of weeks of the season. He notched a season-high in steals on Sunday, which marked the third time this season he's collected at least four steals in a game. He also made multiple three-pointers and finished Sunday's contest as one of eight Thunder players to score in double figures. The third-year guard has followed a nice sophomore campaign with a productive start to Year 3. |

Isaiah Hartenstein Isaiah Hartenstein logs 14/14/8/1/1 line vs. Pels
Sun, Nov 2, 2025, 11:58 AM
Isaiah Hartenstein finished Sunday's win over the Pelicans with 14 points (6-of-7 FGs, 2-of-3 FTs), 14 rebounds, eight assists, one steal and one block.
Analysis: Hartenstein nearly recorded his first-ever triple-double on Sunday, but a lopsided Thunder win limited him to just 26 minutes of game action. In his time on the floor, he impressed in all phases of the game and helped OKC remain unbeaten on the season. The veteran center has scored in double figures in four of the first seven games of the season while reaching double-digits in rebounds in five of the first seven games. He's picked up where he left things last season, which was a career-best for him. |

Ousmane Dieng Ousmane Dieng (calf) will not return Sunday
Sun, Nov 2, 2025, 10:59 AM
Brandon Rahbar
Ousmane Dieng (calf) will not return to Sunday's game against the Pelicans.
Analysis: Dieng played six first-half minutes before being sidelined by a calf contusion. He finished with three points, one rebound, one assist, one blocked shot and one three-pointer. Fellow reserve Branden Carlson may pick up additional minutes in the second half, but this does not impact fantasy basketball. |

Jaylin Williams Jaylin Williams starting in place of Luguentz Dort
Sun, Nov 2, 2025, 9:05 AM
Rylan Stiles
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Cason Wallace, Aaron Wiggins, Jaylin Williams and Isaiah Hartenstein will start against the Pelicans on Sunday.
Analysis: Williams will slide into the starting lineup to replace Luguentz Dort, who is sidelined due to an illness. Chet Holmgren (back) is also sidelined again, which allows Williams to start in the frontcourt next to Hartenstein to form a taller starting frontcourt to match up with Zion Williamson and Yves Missi. |

Luguentz Dort Luguentz Dort (illness) ruled out vs. Pelicans
Sun, Nov 2, 2025, 7:34 AM
NBA Injury Report
Luguentz Dort (illness) has been ruled out against the Pelicans on Sunday.
Analysis: Dort wasn't on the initial injury report, but he must have woken up very sick on Sunday. Isaiah Joe and Ajay Mitchell are candidates to replace him in the starting unit, though both should see a boost in minutes. |
|
Chet Holmgren Chet Holmgren (back) to remain out Sunday vs. Pels
Sat, Nov 1, 2025, 12:42 PM
NBA Injury Report
Chet Holmgren (back) is out for Sunday's game against the Pelicans.
Analysis: Holmgren will miss a third straight game due to a lower back sprain. Aaron Wiggins has started the last two games and played well, making him a worthwhile streamer in deep leagues. Ajay Mitchell and Isaiah Joe are also worth a look despite coming off the bench. |

Jalen Williams Williams (wrist) to be evaluated in 10-14 days
Fri, Oct 31, 2025, 11:01 AM
Marc J. Spears
Jalen Williams (wrist) underwent surgery to remove a screw that was causing irritation and will be re-evaluated in 10-14 days.
Analysis: Williams, who underwent surgery on his right wrist a few weeks after the Thunder won the NBA title, has not appeared in a game this season. While he appeared to be closing in on a return, ESPN's Marc J. Spears reports the forward was dealing with irritation in his wrist caused by a screw that was inserted to aid recovery. J-Dub remaining out means Ajay Mitchell, Aaron Wiggins and Isaiah Joe will figure prominently in the rotation, with Cason Wallace continuing to start. |

Isaiah Hartenstein Isaiah Hartenstein posts 17/8/5/2 line vs. WAS
Thu, Oct 30, 2025, 4:52 PM
Isaiah Hartenstein finished Thursday's win over the Wizards with 17 points (7-of-11 FGs, 3-of-4 FTs), eight rebounds, five assists and two steals.
Analysis: The Thunder were without Chet Holmgren for a second consecutive game on Thursday. After attempting just three shots in Tuesday's win over the Kings, Hartenstein was more active on the offensive end of the floor against the Wizards, scoring a season-high 17 points. Despite his low free-throw percentage (54.5), Harteinstein isn't too far outside the top-100 in nine-cat formats. He remains a must-roster player, especially in leagues that have two-center lineups. |

Isaiah Joe Isaiah Joe (knee) scores 20 in season debut
Thu, Oct 30, 2025, 4:47 PM
Isaiah Joe (knee) shot 7-of-12 from the field and 1-of-2 from the foul line in Thursday's win over the Wizards, scoring 20 points with six rebounds, one assist, one steal and five three-pointers.
Analysis: Joe saw his first action of the 2025-26 season on Thursday and wasted no time getting to work. He hit two three-pointers during the first quarter and finished with a stat line that only lacked a blocked shot. While Joe isn't a must-roster player in standard leagues, his three-point production places him on the radar in deeper formats. The Thunder only play once more during Week 2, but they'll have four games to play in Week 3. |

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Shai Gilgeous-Alexander scores game-high 31 points
Thu, Oct 30, 2025, 4:28 PM
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander amassed 31 points (11-of-20 FGs, 6-of-6 FTs), three rebounds, seven assists, one block and three three-pointers in Thursday's win over the Wizards.
Analysis: Gilgeous-Alexander, who led the NBA in scoring last season, has scored 30 points or more in five of Oklahoma City's first six games. The Wizards didn't have an answer for the reigning league MVP, as he shot 55 percent from the field and did not commit a turnover. The only negative for fantasy managers is that Oklahoma is off until Sunday, so they'll only get one more game from SGA in Week 2. |

Isaiah Joe Isaiah Joe (knee) available Thursday vs. WAS
Thu, Oct 30, 2025, 10:03 AM
NBA Injury Report
Isaiah Joe (knee) is available for Thursday's game against the Wizards.
Analysis: Joe is available to make his season debut after injuring his knee during the preseason. He'll give the Thunder another option on the wing as the team continues to play without the injured Jalen Williams (wrist). Given the time missed, fantasy managers should not expect too much too soon from Joe. |

Isaiah Joe Isaiah Joe (knee) questionable Thursday vs. WAS
Wed, Oct 29, 2025, 12:49 PM
NBA Injury Report
Isaiah Joe (knee) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Wizards.
Analysis: Joe has yet to appear in a game this season, as he's been sidelined by a left knee contusion. That may change on Thursday; his return would give the Thunder a welcome infusion of depth on the wing. However, due to injuries to Jalen Williams and Chet Holmgren, Ajay Mitchell and Aaron Wiggins will remain valuable deep-league options even if Joe plays. |

Chet Holmgren Chet Holmgren (back) out Thursday vs. Washington
Wed, Oct 29, 2025, 12:47 PM
NBA Injury Report
Chet Holmgren (back) is out for Thursday's game against the Wizards.
Analysis: Holmgren will miss a second straight game when the Thunder host the Wizards. Aaron Wiggins replaced him in the starting lineup on Tuesday, recording an 18/6/6/1/3 stat line in Oklahoma City's win over the Kings. He should be streamed, and not just when Holmgren is unavailable. The Thunder are also without Jalen Williams, making Wiggins an even more important contributor. |

Aaron Wiggins Aaron Wiggins hits four triples, scores 18 points
Tue, Oct 28, 2025, 6:00 PM
Aaron Wiggins shot 7-of-15 from the field in Tuesday's win over the Kings, tallying 18 points, six rebounds, six assists, one steal, three blocks and four three-pointers.
Analysis: 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. |

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Gilgeous-Alexander scores 31 in comeback win
Tue, Oct 28, 2025, 5:13 PM
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander shot 14-of-26 from the field and 2-of-2 from the foul line in Tuesday's win over the Kings, scoring 31 points with nine rebounds, four assists, one steal, three blocks and one three-pointer.
Analysis: Already without Jalen Williams (wrist), the Thunder played Tuesday's game without Chet Holmgren (back). That put even more responsibility upon the shoulders of the NBA's reigning Most Valuable Player. To no one's surprise, Gilgeous-Alexander was up to the task, leading a fourth-quarter rally to help move Oklahoma City to 5-0. SGA shot 4-of-6 from the field in the fourth quarter, and he's scored 30 points or more in four of five games. Matchups against the Wizards and Pelicans to end Week 2 set up well for Gilgeous-Alexander and those with him on their fantasy rosters. |
