Oklahoma City Thunder forward/center Jaylin Williams (hamstring) will not suit up for Tuesday's matchup against Milwaukee. He's been unavailable for the entire year so far because of a hamstring injury and won't be ready to return for the 2024 NBA Cup final. Kenrich Williams will continue to provide backup for starting center Isaiah Hartenstein. However, the 30-year-old has very little fantasy appeal, having averaged 7.2 points and 3.2 rebounds in 13.7 minutes this month.
Oklahoma City Thunder forward/center Jaylin Williams (hamstring) will miss another contest on Tuesday against Dallas. He's yet to play this season due to a right hamstring strain. It's unclear when Williams will be ready to return to the lineup. The 22-year-old would add an extra frontcourt option to the Thunder, although playing opportunities have dried up for Williams, with Isaiah Hartenstein in town this season. With Chet Holmgren (pelvic) also on the shelf, Hartenstein plays a big role for the team and will look to maintain his double-double form on Tuesday. Through his first eight appearances with the Thunder, Hartenstein has averaged 11.8 points and 12.8 rebounds with 4.5 assists.
Oklahoma City Thunder guard Alex Caruso (hip) has been ruled out for Tuesday night's game against the Utah Jazz. Caruso has been dealing with a hip strain that's caused him to miss five straight games now. The 30-year-old has brought value to the Thunder, though it hasn't translated much into fantasy value. His continued absence won't mean much to fantasy managers. Expect Aaron Wiggins to continue getting minutes off the bench for OKC. Wiggins has averaged 9.4 PPG and is a better fantasy option than Caruso, but neither will be a great option in the long run.
Oklahoma City Thunder guard/forward Alex Caruso (hip) will remain on the shelf for a fourth consecutive game on Sunday versus Houston. The veteran continues to struggle with a hip injury. It's been a frustrating campaign for Caruso with his new team, as he has been limited to 13 outings. Averaging 19.7 minutes per contest, he has averaged 5.0 points, 2.9 rebounds, 2.2 assists, and 1.8 steals. Cason Wallace gets extra usage with Caruso out, but his productivity has been inconsistent.
Oklahoma City Thunder guard/forward Alex Caruso (hip) will miss his third consecutive game with a right hip strain. Missing Friday's game will also mark his sixth missed contest overall this season. While Caruso watches from the sidelines, Isaiah Joe and Cason Wallace should continue to see some big minutes. If Friday is anything like their last game, Joe would likely start again while Wallace comes in for relief off of the bench.
