Oklahoma City Thunder DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Chicago Bulls guard Alex Caruso (ankle) is available for Tuesday's game against the Knicks after missing one game due to a left ankle bruise. Caruso last saw action against New York on April 5th and registered seven points, one rebound and four assists in 32 minutes. Point guard Ayo Dosunmu was ruled out for the contest (quadriceps), but guard Coby White (ankle) is suiting up. The Bull's backcourt was in a bit of disarray for a moment, but it should be stabilized with Caruso and White back.

Oklahoma City Thunder forward Jalen Williams (ankle) was spotted at shootaround ahead of Tuesday's matchup with the Sacramento Kings. Sidelined for four consecutive games with a sprained left ankle, Williams is on the right track to return against the Kings on Tuesday. It's worth mentioning Williams was seen at the morning session prior to last Tuesday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers before getting ruled out, so sometimes shootaround statuses should be taken with a grain of salt. The 22-year-old two-way rising star is averaging 22.0 points, 5.3 assists, 3.3 rebounds, 1.1 three-pointers, and 2.6 combined steals plus blocks through his last seven games and would be an interesting DFS bet on Tuesday's huge 14-game slate if he is active against Sacramento, who are yielding the ninth-most points (22.0) to opposing small forwards in 2023-24.

Oklahoma City Thunder guard/forward Jalen Williams (ankle) has been listed as questionable on the injury report ahead of Tuesday's matchup against Sacramento. He's missed the past four games with a left ankle sprain. Thunder head coach Mark Daigneault has tested several players in a starting role during Williams' absence, including Gordon Hayward (leg). He won't be able to go back to Hayward on Tuesday as he has been ruled out for the contest. Aaron Wiggins and Isaiah Joe will continue to have extra fantasy value if Williams can't play. If he is able to return, the 22-year-old will find himself in a good matchup against a team that likes to run but can't defend.

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (quadriceps) has already been ruled out for Friday's matchup with the Celtics. However, head coach Mark Daigneault stated the MVP candidate won't play for the remainder of the Thunder's road trip, which concludes on Sunday in Indiana. Daigneault added that Gilgeous-Alexander returned to Oklahoma City for conditioning, so it seems he has a chance to return for Thursday's game against the Sacramento Kings. Of course, the team won't push him to return sooner than necessary, even if it means giving up the No. 1 seed in the Western Conference heading toward the playoffs. But with Jalen Williams (ankle) also out, guys like Aaron Wiggins, Chet Holmgren, Josh Giddey, and Luguentz Dort could pick things up offensively.

Oklahoma City Thunder guard/forward Jalen Williams (ankle) will be absent for a third straight game on Friday versus Indiana. The team has downgraded Williams from questionable to out as OKC's rising star continues to deal with a left ankle sprain. Oklahoma City also remains without Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (quadriceps), putting the spotlight on Josh Giddey and Chet Holmgren to lead the team. The injuries have allowed Aaron Wiggins and Jaylin Williams to pick up starts, but the two haven't been very reliable performers for fantasy managers.
