Aaron Wiggins is being traded from the Thunder to the Atlanta Hawks for two second round picks.

Fantasy Impact

Wiggins was drafted by the Thunder in 2021 and has since won a championship with the team. He will now bring a veteran presence with plenty of playoff experience to a young Hawks team that is looking to improve after being the only team to last more than five games against the Knicks in their championship winning playoff run.

With Luguentz Dort and Isaiah Hartenstein both sidelined, Wiggins slid into the starting lineup Wednesday and finished with 17 points (7-of-16 FGs), seven rebounds, three three-pointers, three assists, and two steals against the Nets. Cason Wallace also started and contributed three steals and two blocks.

Fantasy Impact

Both players' value is directly tied to Oklahoma City's injury situation — when the Thunder are shorthanded like this, the opportunity is clearly there for both to produce.

Wiggins hit 20 points for the fourth time this season — and the first since February 4 — after sliding into the starting lineup with Oklahoma City shorthanded Wednesday. He finished with 20 points (6-of-16 FGs, 6-of-7 FTs), six assists, two steals, two three-pointers, three rebounds, and one block in the loss to the Pistons.

Fantasy Impact

Isaiah Joe left the game with a glute contusion, which could open the door for Wiggins to carry added fantasy value into Friday's matchup against the Nuggets.
