Oklahoma City Thunder DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

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.

On Wednesday, the Oklahoma City Thunder announced that center Isaiah Hartenstein (calf) sustained a left soleus strain in Tuesday's game against the 76ers and he will be re-evaluated in one week, according to Tim Bontemps of ESPN.com. The 26-year-old German center is out until at least the Jan. 22 matchup with the Jazz. Until the big man returns, Jaylin Williamswill see plenty of extra minutes at center.

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Alex Caruso (hip) is not on the Thunder's injury report for their Tuesday matchup in Philadelphia, signaling that the 30-year-old is ready to return from a 10-game absence due to a left-hip strain. In his 20 games this year with the Thunder, Caruso has 5.5 points, 2.9 rebounds, 2.5 assists, and 1.9 steals in 19.9 minutes per game. Caruso's defensive presence and intensity will be a nice addition to an already thriving Thunder rotation, but he could siphon minutes from Cason Wallace, Aaron Wiggins, and Isaiah Joe as he establishes himself off the bench.
