Oklahoma City Thunder DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Luguentz Dort (knee) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Wednesday's game against the Golden State Warriors. Dort is set to return to the court after missing Sunday's contest due to a right knee issue. It was only a one game absence, so fantasy managers should expect Dort to have his regular workload on Wednesday. He hasn't been the most consistent fantasy option this season, but fantasy managers who have him rostered can safely get him back in their lineups on Wednesday. Aaron Wiggins will head back to the bench where he won't have as much streaming appeal.

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Isaiah Joe (illness) will miss Thursday night's game against the Mavericks as the Thunder finish their back-to-back with a home game. This will be Joe's second straight game on the sideline after scoring 24 points on Sunday in a win over the Nets. Without Joe, Cason Wallace and Alex Caruso should continue to get more work in the backcourt. Wallace has been especially effective lately and is coming off a big game against the Jazz on Wednesday night when he racked up 13 points, four rebounds, and an assist in 36 minutes. Aaron Wiggins has scored double-digit points in three straight games as well and will also get more usage with Joe sidelined.

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Isaiah Joe (illness) will not suit up for Wednesday's meeting with Utah. He is a late scratch for the contest due to an illness. Alex Caruso and Aaron Wiggins will have a chance to pick up extra shifts with Joe unavailable, while Jaylin Williams will be moved to the starting unit. The 22-year-old has averaged 10.3 points, 7.7 rebounds, and 3.0 assists over three previous starts this season. This should be another productive evening for Williams, as only Washington gives up more fantasy points to centers than Utah.

Oklahoma City Thunder guard/forward Jalen Williams (hip) has received the all-clear to play in Wednesday's matchup against Utah. There was a possibility of Williams being unavailable for a second straight game when the team listed him as questionable on the initial injury report. Luckily for the Thunder, Williams has recovered from a hip strain and is ready for Wednesday's fantasy-friendly matchup. The Jazz have the second-lowest defensive rating in the league but are ranked near the top 10 in pace.

Oklahoma City Thunder center Isaiah Hartenstein (calf) will miss a fourth straight game on Wednesday against Utah. He remains on the sidelines due to a left soleus strain Hartenstein suffered last Tuesday against Philadelphia. A day later, the team announced that Hartenstein would be re-evaluated in a week, but he isn't ready to return against the Jazz. With Hartenstein unavailable, the Thunder have operated without a natural center in the starting unit. Players like Isaiah Joe and Aaron Wiggins have taken on bigger workloads to compensate for the loss of Hartenstein.
