Shai Gilgeous-Alexander SGA has 24 points in loss to Raptors Sunday
Sun, Jan 25, 2026, 3:56 PM
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander had 24 points (8-of-11 FGs, 8-of-10 FTs), three rebounds, six assists, one steal and two blocks in Sunday's loss to the Raptors.
Analysis: 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. |

Rylan Stiles
Cason Wallace (groin) will not return to Sunday's game against the Raptors.
Analysis: 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. |

NBA Injury Report
Aaron Wiggins (groin) is available for Sunday's game against the Raptors.
Analysis: 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. |

Sat, Jan 24, 2026, 1:41 PM
NBA Injury Report
Aaron Wiggins (groin) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Raptors.
Analysis: 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. |

Isaiah Hartenstein Isaiah Hartenstein (calf) out Sunday vs. Toronto
Sat, Jan 24, 2026, 1:36 PM
NBA Injury Report
Isaiah Hartenstein (calf) is out for Sunday's game against the Raptors.
Analysis: Hartenstein remains out, having last played on December 28. With Ajay Mitchell also out, Isaiah Joe and Aaron Wiggins are potential replacements in the starting lineup. Since Wiggins was not available, Joe received the nod in Friday's loss to the Pacers, playing 30 minutes. |

Alex Caruso Alex Caruso (adductor) out Sunday vs. Toronto
Sat, Jan 24, 2026, 1:31 PM
NBA Injury Report
Alex Caruso (adductor) is out for Sunday's game against the Raptors.
Analysis: 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. |

Isaiah Joe Isaiah Joe scores seven in first start of season
Fri, Jan 23, 2026, 6:14 PM
Isaiah Joe added seven points (2-of-7 FGs, 3-of-3 FTs), two rebounds and one assist in the loss to the Pacers on Friday.
Analysis: 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. |

Chet Holmgren Chet Holmgren logs 25/13 double-double vs. Indiana
Fri, Jan 23, 2026, 6:03 PM
Chet Holmgren amassed 25 points (8-of-14 FGs, 7-of-8 FTs), 13 rebounds, three assists, three blocks and two three-pointers in the loss to the Pacers on Friday.
Analysis: 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. |

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander SGA puts up 47 points Friday in loss to Indiana
Fri, Jan 23, 2026, 5:57 PM
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander produced 47 points (17-of-28 FGs, 12-of-12 FTs), four rebounds, four assists, one steal, one block and one three-pointer in the loss to the Pacers on Friday.
Analysis: 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. |

Isaiah Joe Joe, Dort, Wallace, Holmgren, SGA to start vs. IND
Fri, Jan 23, 2026, 1:36 PM
Clemente Almanza
Isaiah Joe, Cason Wallace, Luguentz Dort, Chet Holmgren and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander will start on Friday against the Pacers.
Analysis: 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. |

Aaron Wiggins Aaron Wiggins (groin) sidelined Friday vs. Pacers
Fri, Jan 23, 2026, 10:03 AM
NBA Injury Report
Aaron Wiggins (groin) is out for Friday's matchup with the Pacers.
Analysis: 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. |
|
Alex Caruso Alex Caruso (adductor) out Friday vs. Indiana
Thu, Jan 22, 2026, 12:21 PM
NBA Injury Report
Alex Caruso (adductor) is out for Friday's game against the Pacers.
Analysis: 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. |

Aaron Wiggins Aaron Wiggins (groin) questionable vs. Indiana
Thu, Jan 22, 2026, 12:21 PM
NBA Injury Report
Aaron Wiggins (groin) is questionable to play against the Pacers on Friday.
Analysis: 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. |

Isaiah Hartenstein Isaiah Hartenstein (calf) out Friday vs. Indiana
Thu, Jan 22, 2026, 12:18 PM
NBA Injury Report
Isaiah Hartenstein (calf) is out for Friday's game against the Pacers.
Analysis: 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. |

Kenrich Williams Kenrich Williams posts 18 points, eight rebounds
Wed, Jan 21, 2026, 6:18 PM
Kenrich Williams amassed 18 points (8-of-13 FGs, 0-of-1 FTs), eight rebounds, two assists and two three-pointers in Wednesday's win over the Bucks.
Analysis: 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 âKenny Hustleâ 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. |

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Shai Gilgeous-Alexander records 40/7/11/1 line
Wed, Jan 21, 2026, 6:17 PM
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander tallied 40 points (16-of-19 FGs, 6-of-7 FTs), seven rebounds, 11 assists, one steal and two three-pointers in Wednesday's win over the Bucks.
Analysis: The Bucks had no answer for the reigning MVP, who was on his âA gameâ 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 Joki? 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. |

Aaron Wiggins Aaron Wiggins (groin) out Wednesday vs. Bucks
Wed, Jan 21, 2026, 9:26 AM
NBA Injury Report
Aaron Wiggins (groin) is out for Wednesday's matchup with the Bucks.
Analysis: Wiggins is dealing with right groin soreness, and he'll join Isaiah Hartenstein, Alex Caruso, Jalen Williams and Jaylin Williams on the sideline. More playing time should be available for Ajay Mitchell, Cason Wallace and Isaiah Joe. |
|
Alex Caruso Alex Caruso (back) out Wednesday vs. Milwaukee
Tue, Jan 20, 2026, 12:00 PM
NBA Injury Report
Alex Caruso (back) is out for Wednesday's game against the Bucks.
Analysis: Caruso exited Monday's win over the Cavaliers after playing seven first-half minutes. His absence means more minutes will be available to fellow reserves Isaiah Joe and Cason Wallace. The latter offers a higher ceiling, especially in category leagues. |

Isaiah Hartenstein Isaiah Hartenstein (calf) out Wednesday vs. MIL
Tue, Jan 20, 2026, 11:57 AM
NBA Injury Report
Isaiah Hartenstein (calf) is out for Wednesday's game against the Bucks.
Analysis: 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. |

Chet Holmgren Chet Holmgren scores 28 points in blowout win
Mon, Jan 19, 2026, 11:30 AM
Chet Holmgren lit up the Cavaliers with 28 points (11-of-16 FGs), eight rebounds, two assists, two blocks and four three-pointers on Monday.
Analysis: 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. |
