Mon, Nov 10, 2025, 12:44 PM
Luguentz Dort (shoulder) is out for Tuesday's game against the Warriors.
Analysis: Dort is set to miss his fourth consecutive game with a shoulder injury. Ajay Mitchell has been the big winner from Dort's absence so far and that should continue on Tuesday against the Warriors. |

Isaiah Hartenstein Isaiah Hartenstein grabs 13 rebounds vs. Memphis
Sun, Nov 9, 2025, 2:55 PM
Isaiah Hartenstein produced 18 points (8-of-11 FGs, 2-of-4 FTs), 13 rebounds, two assists and one block in Sunday's win over the Grizzlies.
Analysis: After averaging a double-double for the first time in his NBA career last season, Hartenstein is on his way to doing it again in 2025-26. He's recorded at least 13 rebounds in five games and is responsible for six double-doubles. Hartenstein is ranked well within the top-50 in nine-cat formats, and his skill set is such that maintaining that production level is a realistic possibility. The Thunder play three games during Week 4, starting with the Warriors on Tuesday. |

Chet Holmgren Chet Holmgren drops 21 points vs. Memphis
Sun, Nov 9, 2025, 2:54 PM
Chet Holmgren accounted for 21 points (8-of-14 FGs, 4-of-4 FTs), seven rebounds, two assists, one steal and one three-pointer in Sunday's win over the Grizzlies.
Analysis: Holmgren has scored 20 points or more in just three games this season, including Sunday's win in Memphis. The good news for fantasy managers is that his value isn't derived solely from scoring. He recorded another solid stat line against the Grizzlies and is providing top-25 value in nine-cat formats. The Thunder have three games on the Week 4 schedule, and fantasy managers will need to account for Holmgren potentially missing a game due to the Tuesday/Wednesday back-to-back. |

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander SGA scores game-high 35 points vs. Memphis
Sun, Nov 9, 2025, 2:52 PM
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander amassed 35 points (11-of-22 FGs, 10-of-11 FTs), seven rebounds, six assists, two steals and three three-pointers in Sunday's win over the Grizzlies.
Analysis: Despite getting off to a slow start, Gilgeous-Alexander and the Thunder were dominant in the second half. The reigning MVP shot 6-of-8 from the field in the second half, and there were also frequent trips to the foul line. The result was his tenth game this season with at least 30 points. Gilgeous-Alexander remains one of the best players to have rostered in fantasy basketball, regardless of league format. The only negative is that Oklahoma City plays three games during Week 4 instead of four. |

Luguentz Dort Luguentz Dort (shoulder) ruled out Sunday
Sun, Nov 9, 2025, 8:56 AM
NBA Injury Report
Luguentz Dort (shoulder) is out for Sunday's matchup with the Grizzlies.
Analysis: With Dort out again, look for Ajay Mitchell to join the starting five for a third straight game. Mitchell is off to a blistering start to the 2025-26 campaign, and the good times should keep rolling on Sunday. |

Luguentz Dort Luguentz Dort (shoulder) questionable Sunday
Sat, Nov 8, 2025, 9:43 AM
Luguentz Dort (shoulder) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Grizzlies.
Analysis: Dort is dealing with an upper trap strain. He's missed the last two games since injuring his shoulder in the win over the Clippers on Tuesday. Ajay Mitchell has filled in for Dort and is worth rostering until he returns. |

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Shai Gilgeous-Alexander hangs 30 points on Kings
Fri, Nov 7, 2025, 7:14 PM
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander totaled 30 points (12-of-20 FGs, 4-of-4 FTs), one rebound, three assists, two steals, one block and two three-pointers on Friday against the Kings.
Analysis: SGA wasn't the highest scorer for the Thunder on Friday, but he still managed to extend his streak of 30-point games to six. He dominated inside the three-point line and chipped in a few stocks to help OKC avenge its first loss of the season. The reigning league MVP hasn't shown any signs of regression during his eighth NBA season and is putting up similar numbers to last season. He remains one of the most productive players across fantasy basketball leagues. |

Isaiah Hartenstein Isaiah Hartenstein goes off, has 33/19 line at SAC
Fri, Nov 7, 2025, 7:02 PM
Isaiah Hartenstein tallied 33 points (14-of-17 FGs, 5-of-6 FTs), 19 rebounds, three assists, one steal and three blocks in Friday's win over the Kings.
Analysis: A big 15-point second quarter led the veteran center to a 20-point, 10-rebound double-double at halftime, which eventually turned into a career-best night for Hartenstein. He missed only three shots en route to his first game of more than 20 points this season, while nearly snagging 20 boards in the process. In his second year with the Thunder, Hartenstein continues to make a massive impact for one of the league's best teams. He'll have a chance to land a third straight double-double on Sunday against the Grizzlies. |

Chet Holmgren OKC starts SGA, Mitchell, Wallace, Holmgren, iHart
Fri, Nov 7, 2025, 3:41 PM
NBA Lineups
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Ajay Mitchell, Cason Wallace, Chet Holmgren and Isaiah Hartenstein will start Friday's game against the Kings.
Analysis: Holmgren is back in the lineup after missing Wednesday's loss to the Trail Blazers. With Aaron Wiggins (adductor) ruled out, Holmgren slides back into his usual spot. The other four starters are unchanged, as Oklahoma City remains without Luguentz Dort and Jalen Williams. |

Luguentz Dort Luguentz Dort (shoulder) out Friday vs. Sacramento
Fri, Nov 7, 2025, 11:34 AM
NBA Injury Report
Luguentz Dort (shoulder) is out for Friday's game against the Kings.
Analysis: Friday's game will be the second that Dort has missed since injuring his shoulder during Tuesday's win over the Clippers. Ajay Mitchell started Wednesday's loss to the Trail Blazers and scored 21 points. Already rostered in just over 30 percent of Yahoo! leagues, he's worth rostering as long as Dort is out. |
|
Aaron Wiggins Aaron Wiggins (adductor) ruled out vs. Sacramento
Thu, Nov 6, 2025, 3:02 PM
NBA Injury Report
Aaron Wiggins (adductor) has been ruled out against the Kings on Friday.
Analysis: Wiggins started in OKC's last game on Wednesday, but he won't be available to play Sacramento. Chet Holmgren and Alex Caruso will be back, but Wiggins' absence will open up more minutes for Ajay Mitchell and Isaiah Joe, even if Luguentz Dort returns from his shoulder injury. |

Luguentz Dort Luguentz Dort (shoulder) questionable vs. Kings
Thu, Nov 6, 2025, 2:58 PM
NBA Injury Report
Luguentz Dort (shoulder) is questionable to play against the Kings on Friday.
Analysis: Dort missed Wednesday's game against Portland after an early exit on Tuesday. If he remains out for another game, Ajay Mitchell should get another start in Dort's place. Mitchell had 21 points in 31 minutes against the Trail Blazers. |
|
Alex Caruso Alex Caruso (rest) off injury report vs. Kings
Thu, Nov 6, 2025, 2:47 PM
NBA Injury Report
Alex Caruso (rest) is not on the injury report against the Kings on Friday.
Analysis: Caruso sat out the second leg of OKC's back-to-back on Wednesday, but he'll be back against Sacramento. He'll occupy his typical role off the bench, which should push Ousmane Dieng out of the rotation. |
|
Chet Holmgren Chet Holmgren (back) off injury report vs. Kings
Thu, Nov 6, 2025, 2:38 PM
NBA Injury Report
Chet Holmgren (back) is not on the injury report against the Kings on Friday.
Analysis: Holmgren will be back after missing Wednesday's game. He'll be back in the starting lineup, which has been a revolving door for the Thunder. Aaron Wiggins (adductor) has been ruled out, so Holmgren will slide into that starting spot. |

Aaron Wiggins Aaron Wiggins hits seven triples, scores 27 points
Wed, Nov 5, 2025, 7:42 PM
Aaron Wiggins accumulated 27 points (10-of-19 FGs), two rebounds, two assists, three steals and seven three-pointers in Wednesday's loss to the Trail Blazers.
Analysis: While Wiggins' value in category leagues hasn't been great thus far, he has been a valuable option for fantasy managers needing points and three-pointers. He notched season-highs in both categories on Wednesday, taking advantage of the move into the starting lineup due to Chet Holmgren's absence. Wiggins is rostered in 17 percent of Yahoo! leagues, which is a fair percentage due to the role and production. He'll remain a specialist in fantasy leagues, but there would be added streaming value if Luguentz Dort (shoulder) misses additional time. |

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Gilgeous-Alexander scores 35 in loss to Portland
Wed, Nov 5, 2025, 7:38 PM
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander accounted for 35 points (10-of-26 FGs, 12-of-13 FTs), nine rebounds, four assists and three three-pointers in Wednesday's loss to the Trail Blazers.
Analysis: Gilgeous-Alexander recorded another 30-point game on Wednesday, but it wasn't enough to keep the Thunder from suffering their first defeat of the season. Oklahoma City was down multiple contributors in Portland, so having a chance to force overtime in the final seconds speaks highly of what SGA and the other available players were able to do. He remains one of the top players in the NBA and fantasy basketball, and that won't change anytime soon. |

Luguentz Dort Dort (shoulder) out Wednesday vs. Portland
Wed, Nov 5, 2025, 10:42 AM
NBA Injury Report
Luguentz Dort (shoulder) is out for Wednesday's game against the Trail Blazers.
Analysis: Dort suffered a right shoulder contusion during Tuesday's win over the Clippers and will not play on Wednesday. Aaron Wiggins, Isaiah Joe and Ajay Mitchell are all worth streaming in deep leagues, even if only one of them (likely Wiggins) will be able to start. Oklahoma City is also without Chet Holmgren and Alex Caruso, so there will be plenty of minutes to go around. |
|
Chet Holmgren Chet Holmgren (back) out Wednesday vs. Portland
Wed, Nov 5, 2025, 10:38 AM
NBA Injury Report
Chet Holmgren (back) is out for Wednesday's game against the Trail Blazers.
Analysis: With Wednesday's game being the second in as many nights for the Thunder, Holmgren's sitting is unsurprising. Jaylin Williams, who suffered a cut over his left eye that required three stitches during Tuesday's win over the Clippers, is available. He'll likely move into the starting lineup and is worth streaming in deep leagues. |
|
Alex Caruso Alex Caruso (rest) out Wednesday vs. Portland
Wed, Nov 5, 2025, 10:35 AM
NBA Injury Report
Alex Caruso (rest) is out for Wednesday's game against the Trail Blazers.
Analysis: Wednesday's game is the second in as many nights for the Thunder, who took care of the Clippers on Tuesday. As a result, some rotation players, including Caruso, will not play. His absence may lead to legitimate rotation minutes for Brooks Barnhizer and Chris Youngblood, who are both on two-way contracts. Neither is a streaming candidate on an 11-game slate. |

Isaiah Joe Isaiah Joe sinks six three-pointers, scores 22
Tue, Nov 4, 2025, 7:46 PM
Isaiah Joe finished Tuesday's win over the Clippers with 22 points (7-of-12 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), three rebounds and six three-pointers.
Analysis: Despite missing the season's first five games with a knee injury, Joe has hit the ground running for the Thunder. He notched a season-high 22 points on Tuesday, the second time in three games that he's scored at least 20. With Jalen Williams (wrist) set to miss more time, Joe is well-positioned to provide deep-league value. He has been a top-50 player over the last week but is rostered in just 13 percent of Yahoo! leagues. And the Thunder play three more games during Week 3, making this a good time to hop onto the bandwagon. |
