Oklahoma City Thunder DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Chicago Bulls guard Alex Caruso (toe) is questionable ahead of Monday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. Caruso has been dealing with left-toe soreness and several minor injuries throughout the season. However, going into Monday, the 30-year-old played in nine consecutive contests. The veteran guard has been an average asset in fantasy play, but he has been hot in the previous three games, averaging 18.7 points, 5.0 rebounds, 6.0 assists, and 2.0 steals on 55.3 percent shooting.

Oklahoma City Thunder guard/forward Jalen Williams (ankle) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Thursday's clash with Dallas, which signals that he's ready to return to the lineup following a one-game absence. Williams hurt his right ankle on Sunday versus Memphis and had to miss Tuesday's juicy matchup against the Pacers. Gordon Hayward logged 30 minutes as a starter in Williams' place and will drop back to the bench on Thursday. The Mavericks complete a back-to-back and might be without Luka Doncic (hamstring), so Williams and the Thunder are well-placed for a good outing. The 22-year-old has averaged 16.0 points, 4.0 rebounds, and 6.0 assists in head-to-head clashes with Dallas this season.

Oklahoma City Thunder forward Jalen Williams (ankle) participated in the team's morning shootaround ahead of Tuesday's tilt versus the Indiana Pacers. Williams remains formally listed as questionable for action due to the sprained right ankle he suffered early in Sunday's blowout win over the Memphis Grizzlies, but fantasy managers can tentatively place him on the right side of the tag with this development. The 22-year-old two-way rising star is returning second-round numbers in nine-category leagues through his last dozen games, averaging 20.7 points, 4.3 assists, 4.0 rebounds, 1.8 treys, and 2.0 combined steals and blocks. Tuesday's clash features the highest implied point total (240.5) on the seven-game slate.

Oklahoma City Thunder guard/forward Jalen Williams (ankle) is questionable to play on Tuesday versus Indiana. The versatile 22-year-old hurt his right ankle in Sunday's matchup against Memphis, exiting the game after logging just 10 minutes. However, it looks like there is a possibility he won't have to skip any games. Williams has become a key cog for the Thunder, averaging 20.7 points, 4.0 rebounds, and 4.3 assists across his last 12 appearances. A meeting with the Pacers is always a great spot for players to boost their numbers. If Williams can't play, Gordon Hayward might get a chance to slide into the starting unit, with the likes of Isaiah Joe and Cason Wallace getting extra minutes off the bench.

Oklahoma City Thunder forward Jalen Williams (ankle) landed awkwardly on a cameraman in the second quarter of Sunday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. He promptly went back to the locker room and the team announced it was a sprained right ankle and he would not return to the game. Cason Wallace was the one to start in his place for the second half as the Thunder were having an easy time with the short-handed Grizzlies. It seems more than likely that Williams will miss at least one game with a sprained ankle, but the official report will probably come out on Monday. If that's the case, Wallace and Josh Giddey would both see more opportunities and could be solid streaming options.
