Isaiah Hartenstein Isaiah Hartenstein grabs 12 rebounds vs. Clippers
Sun, Oct 25, 2026, 4:12 PM
Isaiah Hartenstein recorded 12 points (5-of-9 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), 12 rebounds, one assist and one steal in Sunday's win over the Clippers.
Analysis: After recording two underwhelming stat lines in Oklahoma City's first two games of the season, Hartenstein posted a double-double on Sunday. His play helped offset Chet Holmgren's quiet night at the office (10 points, four rebounds, one steal, one block and two three-pointers), helping push Oklahoma City's record to 3-0. Hartenstein also played 27 minutes, an encouraging number given his limited minutes last season. |
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Shai Gilgeous-Alexander scores game-high 34 points
Sun, Oct 25, 2026, 3:57 PM
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander amassed 34 points (13-of-26 FGs, 7-of-8 FTs), six rebounds, five assists, two steals, one block and one three-pointer in Sunday's win over the Clippers.
Analysis: On a night when he saw three teammates leave the game with injuries, Gilgeous-Alexander carried the Thunder in the third quarter. The reigning MVP scored 16 of his 34 points in the period, shooting 7-of-11 from the field. SGA went cold in the fourth, but his teammates provided enough help to keep Oklahoma City undefeated. The Thunder play three games in Week 2, starting with the Suns on Monday. |
Jalen Williams Jalen Williams (leg) exits during fourth quarter
Sun, Oct 25, 2026, 3:22 PM
Jalen Williams exited late in the fourth quarter of Sunday's game against the Clippers after suffering a serious left leg injury.
Analysis: Williams suffered a serious left leg injury late in the fourth quarter of Sunday's game, with team doctors applying an air cast before taking him off the court on a stretcher. He'll miss an unknown amount of time, but the Thunder forward is likely looking at a lengthy absence. Jared McCain replaced Williams in the Thunder lineup. |
Cason Wallace Cason Wallace (shoulder) ruled out vs. Clippers.

Nick Gallo
Cason Wallace (shoulder) will not return vs. Clippers.
Analysis: Wallace headed to the locker late in the first quarter after running into an Isaiah Jackson screen. This is something for fantasy managers to monitor as the Thunder play the Suns on Monday. |
Jaylin Williams Jaylin Williams (wrist) will not return Sunday
Sun, Oct 25, 2026, 2:18 PM
Marc J. Spears
Jaylin Williams (wrist) will not return to Sunday's game against the Clippers.
Analysis: JayWill played five minutes off the bench before leaving with a sore right wrist, and the Thunder have now shut him down for the rest of the night. His exit will likely result in more playing time for fellow reserve Aday Mara, who logged seven minutes in the first half. |
Chet Holmgren Chet Holmgren posts 17 rebounds, four blocks
Thu, Oct 22, 2026, 6:42 PM
Chet Holmgren recorded 12 points (5-of-9 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), 17 rebounds, two assists, one steal and four blocks in Thursday's win over the Nuggets.
Analysis: After blocking four shots in Tuesday's season opener, Holmgren matched that mark on Thursday night. Add in the rebounds, and this was an excellent night for those rostering the slender 7-footer, especially in category leagues. The Western Conference Finals may have left a bad taste in Holmgren's mouth, but he appears to have put that behind him. This could be a big season for Holmgren if he stays healthy. |

Jalen Williams Jalen Williams leads Thunder with 21 points
Thu, Oct 22, 2026, 6:38 PM
Jalen Williams accounted for 21 points (7-of-15 FGs, 5-of-6 FTs), five rebounds, three assists and two three-pointers in Thursday's win over the Nuggets.
Analysis: J-Dub was Oklahoma City's top scorer in their home opener, leading the team with 21 points while shooting just under 50 percent from the field. Williams, who appeared in just 33 games last season, looked much sharper than he did in Tuesday's season-opening win over the Spurs. If he stays healthy, J-Dub should deliver a top-50 season to fantasy managers at a minimum. |

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander SGA sees 20-point streak end at 141 games
Thu, Oct 22, 2026, 6:34 PM
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander finished Thursday's win over the Nuggets with 17 points (6-of-19 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), two rebounds, three assists, one block and three three-pointers.
Analysis: Gilgeous-Alexander started extremely slowly on Thursday, scoring just two points on 0-of-6 shooting in the first half. The reigning MVP scored 15 points in the second half, but it wasn't enough to extend his streak of at least 20-point games to 142. Gilgeous-Alexander doesn't have many nights like this, so fantasy managers have no reason to worry. The Thunder host the Clippers on Sunday in their final Week 1 game. |

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander SGA pours in 32/5/4/2/2 line in WCF rematch
Tue, Oct 20, 2026, 6:27 PM
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander led the Thunder with 32 points (13-of-27 FGs), six rebounds, four assists, three steals, three blocks and three three-pointers in a 116-104 win over the Spurs on Tuesday.
Analysis: The back-to-back MVP started his campaign for three straight with a statement performance against the team that eliminated them from the playoffs last season. He somehow improved his game even more this summer, and it was on full display in the win. He was one of the top few picks in fantasy basketball drafts and was more than worth the early selection. He'll look to stay hot in their home opener against the Nuggets on Friday. |

Jaylin Williams Jaylin Williams (heel) absent from injury report
Mon, Oct 19, 2026, 12:59 PM
NBA Injury Report
Jaylin Williams (heel) is not on the injury report for Tuesday's game against the Spurs.
Analysis: Williams missed time during the preseason with a heel injury, so his absence from the injury report is a positive development. However, with Chet Holmgren, Isaiah Hartenstein and Aday Mara also available, JayWill may not get the minutes needed to impact fantasy basketball on Tuesday. |

Chet Holmgren Chet Holmgren (quad) absent from injury report
Mon, Oct 19, 2026, 12:55 PM
NBA Injury Report
Chet Holmgren (quad) is not on the injury report for Tuesday's game against the Spurs.
Analysis: Despite missing time during the preseason with a quad injury, Holmgren is not on the injury report for Tuesday's season opener. As a result, Aday Mara may not get the minutes that he did during the preseason, but the rookie should still be in the rotation. |

Cason Wallace Thunder, Cason Wallace agree to 5-year extension
Sun, Oct 18, 2026, 6:02 PM
ESPN
ESPN's Shams Charania reports that the Thunder and Cason Wallace agreed to a five-year, $139 million extension.
Analysis: Wallace and the Thunder had until Monday at 6 PM Eastern to agree to a rookie-scale extension, and they got it done on Sunday night. With the Thunder trading Luguentz Dort, Isaiah Joe, and Aaron Wiggins during the offseason, Wallace moves into a full-time starting role. He was close to a top-100 player in category leagues last season, and that may represent Wallace's floor in 2026-27. |

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has 17 points in loss
Thu, Oct 15, 2026, 5:24 PM
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander had 17 points (5-of-12 FGs, 5-of-5 FTs), one rebound, three assists, one block and two three-pointers in Thursday's exhibition against the Rockets.
Analysis: Gilgeous-Alexander was -24 in 26 minutes in the 116-89 loss to the Rockets. Still, he was able to score 17 points on 12 attempts and made all five of his free throws. The reigning two-time NBA MVP typically comes off the board third overall in fantasy drafts this year. |
Xavier Cooks Otega Oweh to miss the rest of the season
Wed, Oct 14, 2026, 1:55 PM
Thunder PR
Otega Oweh (Achilles) will miss the entire 2026-2027 season after tearing his Achilles tendon on Tuesday against the Pacers.
Analysis: The hope was that this wasn't the case after the injury happened on Tuesday, but it was unfortunately so. Otega had surgery Wednesday on his ruptured right Achilles tendon. He was known as a driver in college with an NBA body. Considering he is a player who is physical and very athletic, the hope is that it doesn't impact his athleticism when he gets back on the court. Otega wasn't likely to impact redraft leagues this season, but its a bummer for those holding in dynasty. |

Xavier Cooks Aday Mara scores 10 points, swats three shots
Tue, Oct 13, 2026, 5:08 PM
Justin Martinez
Aday Mara provided a boost off the bench with 10 points (4-of-5 FGs), four rebounds, one assist and three blocks against the Pacers on Tuesday.
Analysis: Mara came off the bench with Isaiah Hartenstein making his preseason debut, but he was still able to make a solid impact in his 19 minutes. Mara has been productive during the preseason, and with Chet Holmgren (quad) and Jaylin Williams (heel) having been sidelined for the preseason so far, there is a chance Mara ends up playing a large role early on behind Isaiah Hartenstein. It's a situation worth monitoring with the regular season set to start in just one week. |

Xavier Cooks Aday Mara posts double-double vs. Atlanta
Mon, Oct 12, 2026, 3:29 PM
Aday Mara amassed 17 points (4-of-9 FGs, 9-of-12 FTs), 10 rebounds, six assists and five blocks in Monday's exhibition against the Hawks.
Analysis: After not missing a shot in either of Oklahoma City's first two preseason games, Mara's hot streak ended on Monday. However, the rookie center still had a good night, recording a double-double along with six assists and five blocks. Mara's regular-season minutes will depend on Isaiah Hartenstein's and Jaylin Williams' availability, but he's looked good in the preseason. |

Xavier Cooks Bennett Stirtz hits six triples, scores 26 points
Mon, Oct 12, 2026, 3:29 PM
Bennett Stirtz accumulated 26 points (9-of-16 FGs, 2-of-3 FTs), four rebounds, five assists and six three-pointers in Monday's exhibition against the Hawks.
Analysis: With a home game scheduled for Tuesday, the Thunder kept most of their key contributors home rather than sending them to Atlanta. Stirtz started and showed why he was a first-round pick in June, knocking down six of nine three-point attempts. With Shai Gilgeous-Alexander running the show, Stirtz is unlikely to get the minutes needed to be a factor in redraft leagues. But he's a must-roster player in dynasty formats, especially as the price of contending continues to rise for Oklahoma City. |
Alex Caruso Alex Caruso knocks down four three-pointers
Wed, Oct 7, 2026, 4:56 PM
Alex Caruso amassed 12 points (4-of-6 FGs, 0-of-2 FTs), four rebounds, two assists, one block and four three-pointers in Wednesday's exhibition against the Bucks.
Analysis: With Chet Holmgren and Isaiah Hartenstein sitting, Caruso made his first appearance of the preseason as a starter. The veteran wing shot well, hitting four of his six three-point attempts in 17 minutes. While Caruso has been a solid member of the Thunder rotation the last two seasons, injuries limited his fantasy impact. With the team trading Luguentz Dort, Isaiah Joe and Aaron Wiggins during the offseason, Caruso's role takes on added importance, potentially pushing him back into fantasy relevance. |

Xavier Cooks Mara perfect 10-of-10 from the field vs. MIL
Wed, Oct 7, 2026, 4:54 PM
Aday Mara produced 22 points (10-of-10 FGs, 2-of-3 FTs), six rebounds, two assists and one block in Wednesday's exhibition against the Bucks.
Analysis: With Isaiah Hartenstein sitting out a second straight preseason game, Mara started alongside projected starters Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Cason Wallace, and Jalen Williams on Wednesday. The rookie looked very comfortable in that role, meshing well with the Thunder playmakers in the two-man game. Mara didn't miss a shot from the field, and Oklahoma City posted a +22.5 net rating when he was on the court. How valuable the rookie is in redraft leagues will depend on Hartenstein and Chet Holmgren's health, with iHart limited to 47 regular-season games last season. |

Cason Wallace Cason Wallace dishes out six assists vs. Milwaukee
Wed, Oct 7, 2026, 4:52 PM
Cason Wallace accounted for seven points (2-of-8 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), three rebounds, six assists, one steal, one block and one three-pointer in Wednesday's exhibition against the Bucks.
Analysis: Like Oklahoma City's other projected starters, Wallace sat out the team's preseason opener on Tuesday. He logged 18 minutes on Wednesday, dishing out six assists without committing a turnover. Wallace didn't have a great night shooting the ball, but he did a little bit of everything else. He was the fifth starter on most nights last season when Oklahoma City was down a man, and it appears Wallace will be a full-time starter following the trade of Luguentz Dort. That makes him a more appealing option within the first 100 picks in standard drafts. |
