Eligibility
Ousmane Dieng (illness) is out for Thursday's game against the Utah Jazz.
Fantasy Impact
Dieng came down with an illness and will not be able to play on Thursday. It must be spreading through OKC's locker room, as multiple other players were on the injury report because of an illness heading into the day. He doesn't get much playing time when active, so fantasy managers shouldn't expect his absence to change much from a fantasy standpoint.
Ousmane Dieng (illness) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Utah Jazz.
Fantasy Impact
Dieng is listed on OKC's injury report because of an illness that he's dealing with. He's officially questionable to play, but his potential absence wouldn't carry any major fantasy implications for Oklahoma City's lineup.
Ousmane Dieng (wrist) is available to play in Wednesday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Fantasy Impact
OKC initially listed Dieng as questionable to play thanks to a wrist injury, but it's not a serious issue and he'll be able to play through it on Wednesday. He doesn't get much work in the team's rotation even when healthy, however, so fantasy managers would be better suited looking for other options to stream on Wednesday night.
Ousmane Dieng (wrist) is uncertain for Wednesday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Fantasy Impact
Dieng will be on the injury report with a questionable tag heading into the day Wednesday. It's a wrist injury that's bothering him, although the exact severity of it is unknown right now. He's averaging almost 13 minutes played per game so far this year, so his possible absence would carry notable fantasy implications against the Cavs.
Ousmane Dieng started and scored 22 points (8-15 FG, 2-8 3P, 4-5 FT) to go with eight rebounds, nine assists, a steal, and a block across 45 minutes in a Thunder 115-100 win over the Grizzlies on Sunday.
Fantasy Impact
With Oklahoma City resting all of their starters on Sunday, Dieng had nearly a full game to operate, and he certainly impressed. There were a handful of times during the course of the season that the 19-year-old Frenchman flashed his upside, and Sunday's effort reemphasized that notion. Dieng will not see much, if any, run during the postseason, but he could very well find himself both a real-life and fantasy factor next season.
