Jared McCain will start in Tuesday's Game 5 against the Spurs.
Fantasy Impact
McCain will get his first career playoff start on Tuesday, filling in for the injured Jalen Williams. Ajay Mitchell and Cason Wallace, who have previously started in place of Williams, will have featured roles off the bench.
McCain scored in double figures for the first time since March 23 Tuesday — 15 points (5-of-8 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), three three-pointers, two rebounds, and one assist in 16 minutes of the 36-point blowout over the Lakers.
Fantasy Impact
The even distribution of playing time across 12 Thunder players created the opening, but Oklahoma City's return to full strength has been shrinking his role, making his fantasy value increasingly tied to the team's injury situation.
The Thunder's blowout win over the Nets opened the door for McCain, who tied for the team lead in shot attempts and made the most of them — 26 points (9-of-16 FGs, 3-of-4 FTs), five three-pointers, three rebounds, two assists, and two blocks.
Fantasy Impact
His role expands significantly when Oklahoma City is shorthanded, and performances like this one are a reminder of what he's capable of when the opportunity is there.
Jared McCain scored 20 points (8-15 FG, 4-9 3PT) to go along with three rebounds, one assist and two steals in the 116-108 win for the Thunder over the Bulls.
Fantasy Impact
McCain recorded his third game scoring at least 20 points since being traded to Oklahoma City. He has scored in double figures in eight of his 11 appearances for the Thunder. He'll remain in a similar role off the bench.
