Oklahoma City Thunder forward Jalen Williams (hip) won't suit up on Sunday against the visiting Nets. He popped up on the injury report because of a right hip strain, so he'll miss his first game of the 2024-25 campaign. Fortunately, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (wrist) will return after a one-game absence. The team should also get expanded production from Aaron Wiggins, who had 12 points, six rebounds, and one steal as a member of the starting lineup on Friday versus the Dallas Mavericks. That should also apply to Luguentz Dort, Jaylin Williams, and Cason Wallace.
Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (wrist) will play on Sunday night versus the Brooklyn Nets. SGA didn't suit up for Friday's loss to the Dallas Mavericks because of a sprained wrist, his first absence of the 2024-25 campaign. He had been questionable heading into this contest, so most had assumed he would get another night off against the 14-win Nets. However, Gilgeous-Alexander will be out there. As expected, OKC is the heavy favorite on Sunday night. While Gilgeous-Alexander is expected to remain a potent fantasy producer, he could see fewer minutes than usual if this one gets out of hand.
Oklahoma City Thunder forward Jalen Williams (hip) is questionable for Saturday's game versus Brooklyn. The 23-year-old has had a fantastic 2024-25 campaign, averaging 20.6 points, 5.7 rebounds, 5.2 assists, and 1.8 steals. He also hasn't missed a game. But a right hip strain could be enough to keep him off the floor, although it's possible the team is just looking to rest some of their core performers versus the 14-win Nets. With Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (wrist) also uncertain to suit up, Isaiah Joe, Aaron Wiggins, Jaylin Williams, and Luguentz Dort could all see a boost in fantasy production.
Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (wrist) is questionable for Sunday's game versus the visiting Nets. The 26-year-old was a late addition to the injury report heading into Friday's loss to the Dallas Mavericks. However, he was ultimately downgraded, missing his first game of the 2024-25 campaign. Aaron Wiggins entered the starting lineup and finished with 12 points, six boards, and one steal. But as expected, Luguentz Dort and Jalen Williams led the way, with the duo combining for 37 points. That will likely remain the same on Sunday if Gilgeous-Alexander can't get on the floor.
Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (wrist) is uncertain to play on Friday versus Dallas. He hasn't been listed on the league's official injury report, at least not yet. However, after dropping 40 points on the Cavs on Thursday, SGA is now dealing with a sore wrist. For now, fantasy managers should consider him a game-time call. But if Gilgeous-Alexander isn't out there, Luguentz Dort and Jalen Williams should both see a bump in scoring chances. Alex Caruso and Isaiah Joe may also enter the starting lineup, giving one of them upside for fantasy managers.
