Fantasy Impact: Gilgeous-Alexander is dealing with an abdomen issue that will leave his status against the Lakers up in the air. The exact severity of it is unknown, and the team will make a decision about his availability closer to game time. Rookie Jalen Williams will be primed to get more work if the star guard doesn't play on Friday night.

Isaiah Joe came off the bench on Sunday and dropped 15 points (6-10 FG, 3-7 3P) while tacking on five rebounds and a steal over 27 minutes as the Thunder beat the Suns 124-120.

Fantasy Impact: Joe contributed some important buckets in the close win while logging the most minutes played of any Thunder bench player. A pure scorer at heart, Joe should continue to be one of the first bodies off the Oklahoma City bench from here on out. His next chance to provide buckets will come on Tuesday against the Clippers.

Jalen Williams had a rough shooting performance on Sunday, managing just five points (1-6 FG, 3-4 FT) to go with 10 rebounds, five assists, two steals, and a block over 28 minutes as the Thunder downed the Suns 124-120.

Fantasy Impact: While Williams struggled offensively Sunday, he reiterated the fact that he can contribute effectively in other areas by filling up the stat sheet. The rookie's defensive presence was crucial against Phoenix, and he snagged double-digit rebounds for just the second time this season. Williams will be especially needed by the Thunder as the season winds down, and as they head towards the team's first playoff berth since the 2019-2020 campaign.

Josh Giddey contributed 16 points (7-13 FG, 1-2 3P, 1-2 FT) six rebounds, and six assists, over 33 minutes as Oklahoma City trounced Phoenix 124-120 on Sunday.

Fantasy Impact: Sunday did not mark Giddey's best performance in recent days, but he was efficient and helped lead the Thunder to their fourth win over their past five outings. The Australian sophomore is still a lock for double-digit points anytime he toes the floor and his playing time of late has been solid without hinderance. The Thunder face the Clippers their next two times out and Giddey will undoubtedly remain a focal point in those upcoming affairs.

Luguentz Dort compiled 20 points (7-11 FG, 4-6 3P, 2-2 FT) to go with three rebounds and an assist over 33 minutes as the Thunder downed the Suns 124-120 on Sunday.

Fantasy Impact: Dort shot the rock efficiently on Sunday, and managed to notch his 13th 20-point game of the season as a result. More importantly, the effort delivered the Thunder another win over a contending western conference team, and upped their chances of retaining a playoff spot by that much. Oklahoma City has back-to-back tough tests with the Clippers coming up this week, but it will be all hands on deck to eke out wins in the final few weeks of the regular season.

Ousmane Dieng poured in 17 points (7-15 FG, 2-6 3P, 1-2 FT) and eight rebounds over 28 minutes on Sunday as the Thunder defeated the Spurs 102-90.

Fantasy Impact: Dieng had the best shooting performance of his young promising career in the Sunday victory. He has played 28 minutes in two of his last three outings, and it's beginning to look like the 19-year-old may see some added run as the season winds down. Dieng has tantalizing upside and could warrant fantasy consideration if he continues to play minutes into the high twenties.

Jaylin Williams had nine points (3-6 FG, 1-2 3P, 2-2 FT) five rebounds, two assists, one block, and four steals over 26 minutes in an Oklahoma City 120-90 win over San Antonio on Sunday.

Fantasy Impact: Williams' four steals doubled his previous career high in the outing and was able to return to 25+ minutes in this one. The rookie should continue to see good run for the Thunder as their season continues to look towards developing their young players.

Dario Saric scored 14 points (6-8 FG, 1-1 3P, 1-1 FT) with five rebounds, an assist, and a block over just 15 minutes on Tuesday, as the Thunder beat the Warriors 137-128.

Fantasy Impact: Saric was exceptional in his limited Tuesday action, shooting a true 75.0% from the field and tacking on additional stats elsewhere. The 28-year-old has now scored in double figures in four out his past five appearances, despite surpassing 20 minutes on just one of those occasions. He could be a player to keep an eye on for fantasy purposes, should the Thunder start sitting more players as the seasonal tank progresses.

Aaron Wiggins provided 13 points (5-12 FG, 1-3 3P, 2-2 FT) to go with four rebounds, one block, and a steal over 33 minutes as the Thunder defeated the Warriors 137-128 on Tuesday.

Fantasy Impact: With Jalen Williams out of commission Tuesday, Wiggins stepped into the starting lineup and promptly logged his most minutes in a game since the month of November. He responded will a decent performance given the circumstances, but will likely head back to the bench as early as Wednesday if Williams is cleared to return.

Kenrich Williams finished with nine points (4-7 FG, 1-1 3P) along with eight rebounds, three assists, one steal, and a block over 31 minutes in an Oklahoma City loss to New Orleans on Monday night.

Fantasy Impact: Even with Luguentz Dort back from injury, Williams has continued to see ample playing time, averaging just under 30 minutes per game over his last three outings. He has responded well with efficient stat lines, highlighted by his near double-double miss on Monday night. Williams should continue to be one of the first men off the bench for the Thunder going forward, and there are worse streaming options than Williams out there at the small forward position.

Fantasy Impact: Robinson-Earl last played on December 12. It is likely he'll be eased back into action after being sidelined two months. Jaylin Williams minutes could take a hit when Robinson-Earl is fully back in action.

Darius Bazley has been traded to the Phoenix Suns for Dario Saric and a second-round pick. (Source: Shams Charania on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Bazley has averaged around 15 minutes per game this season, but it's unlikely that his role will increase much with the Suns. He has averaged 5.4 points and 3.4 rebounds per game this season.

Justin Jackson has been traded to the Thunder along with two second-round picks in exchange for Mike Muscala. (Source: Shams Charania on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Jackson has not had much of a role on the Celtics, so this trade could be a nice change of scenery for Jackson. He has averaged just 4.7 minutes per game, but that number could easily go up in Oklahoma City compared to Boston.

Mike Muscala has been traded to the Celtics for Justin Jackson and two second-round picks. (Source: Shams Charania on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Muscala has averaged 14.5 minutes per game this season, and that number isn't likely to go up in Boston. We'll know more about how he fits into the Celtics rotation in the coming weeks.

Tre Mann had 18 points (8-17 FG, 2-6 3P) to go with two rebounds and an assist over 25 minutes Monday in a blowout Thunder loss.

Fantasy Impact: Mann has played just under 20 minutes per game since the beginning of the month and is averaging 14.5 PPG. He has benefited from a number of OKC players going down to injury and has become the first man off the bench for the team. Mann rarely does much besides scoring on the stat sheet, but he can often be a decent source of three-pointers when he sees extended run.

Thunder big man Aleksej Pokusevski suffered a non-displaced tibial plateau fracture in his left leg in Tuesday's win over the Spurs. He will be re-evaluated in 6-8 weeks, per ESPN's Tim MacMahon. (Source: ESPN)

Fantasy Impact: This is almost as bad of a blow as could have been expected after he exited Tuesday's game. Pokusevski has yet to take that leap many expected in fantasy circles. After starting off the season hot, the seven-footer has fallen flat. He is averaging just over 20 minutes per game. It would be nice to see what he is capable of if ever given a bump in usage, as the skills are clearly there.

Eugene Omoruyi poured in 20 points (8-10 FG, 5-6 3P, 1-2 FT) to go along with three rebounds, an assist, and a steal over 27 minutes in a Friday evening 132-113 win over the Raptors.

Fantasy Impact: Omoruyi is part of a committee filling in for the injured Darius Bazley and he stepped up big time off the bench on Friday. The 22 points came at an incredibly high clip and marked a season-high in points by a longshot. Omoruyi had been averaging under ten minutes per game prior to Friday but proved that he deserves more playing time going forward. He can quickly become a part of the regular rotation with performances like these.
