Injured Jaylin Williams To Play On ThursdayOklahoma City Thunder center Jaylin Williams (ankle) will suit up for Thursday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. The rookie big man will be back in action after missing the last three games due to a sprained ankle. He'll draw a tough matchup against Joel Embiid during his first game back. That being said, Williams won't be a great streaming option for Thursday's slate. Eugene Omoruyi will head back to the second unit and won't have much fantasy appeal with Williams healthy again.

Injured Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Will Return To Action WednesdayOklahoma City Thunder point guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (illness) has been removed from the team's injury report ahead of Wednesday's contest vs. Orlando, paving the way for him to suit up after a one-game absence. Even without Gilgeous-Alexander in the mix, OKC dropped a season-high 150 points Tuesday. A return from the league's fourth-leading scorer (30.8 PPG) will decrease the DFS value of many members of the Thunder backcourt, namely Josh Giddey, who will defer ballhandling opportunities to Gilgeous-Alexander. The 24-year-old is coming off a third consecutive month of elite fantasy production, as he has compiled at least a 33.1% usage rate across each of the season's first trio of months.

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (illness) will not play Tuesday against the Boston Celtics. Gilgeous-Alexander went through the team's normal shootaround, but started feeling under the weather later in the day before being ruled out. The last time Gilgeous-Alexander sat, Isaiah Joe started and went for 23 points in 26 minutes. Joe, Kenrich Williams and Tre Mann should fill the void in some sort of committee.

Injured Aleksej Pokusevski To Miss Significant TimeOklahoma City Thunder forward Aleksej Pokusevski (leg) is set to miss significant time after suffering an injury during Tuesday's game. The young forward sustained a non-displaced tibial plateau fracture in his left leg. The team plans to re-evaluate Pokusevski in six-to-eight weeks. This is a tough blow to fantasy managers as Pokusevski probably won't return until closer to the fantasy playoffs. Mike Muscala and Darius Bazley are set to have increased roles with Pokusevski on the sideline. It'll be interesting to see how head coach Mark Daigneault changes his rotation in the absence of Pokusevski.

Injured Darius Bazley Will Miss Fourth Straight Game WednesdayOklahoma City Thunder forward Darius Bazley (illness) will sit against the Portland Trail Blazers on Wednesday. Bazley is dealing with a lingering illness and will miss his fourth straight game. Aleksej Pokusevski and Kenrich Williams should continue to get extra run while Bazley sits. Pokusevski holds high upside, but his minutes remain volatile so it is hard to predict when he has a good night.

Injured Josh Giddey Will Remain Sidelined WednesdayOklahoma City Thunder guard Josh Giddey (illness) will sit Wednesday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. Giddey will miss his third straight game due to a lingering illness and being ruled out over a day in advance is not very promising. Aaron Wiggins is in line for another start while Shai Gilgeous-Alexander's usage rate should be through the roof. Gilgeous-Alexander should be a popular target in Wednesday's DFS slate.

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (back) is available for Monday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. Originally, Gilgeous-Alexander was ruled out for this game, but it appears he's feeling good enough to get back on the court. This is great news for the Thunder with Joey Giddey (illness) still sidelined. Fantasy managers should make sure to get SGA back in their lineups for Monday. Isaiah Joe will head back to the bench, but should still have some streaming appeal in deep leagues while Giddey is out.

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (back) has been upgraded to questionable for Monday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. The star guard was originally ruled out for Monday, but it appears he's feeling better. There's a chance he returns to the court on Monday, which would be huge with Josh Giddey (illness) still sidelined. Gilgeous-Alexander would see a higher usage with Giddey on the sideline. Isaiah Joe is also in line for more minutes, but is more of a deep league streaming option.

Injured Kenrich Williams Available On SaturdayOklahoma City Thunder forward Kenrich Williams (knee) is available for Saturday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. Williams will be back in action for the first time since December 3rd. The expectation is that Williams is going to be on a minutes limit during his first game back. However, he could still have streaming value with the Thunder shorthanded on Saturday. Both Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (back) and Josh Giddey (illness) are sidelined for this game. Williams might be able to carve out decent streaming value even in a limited role on Saturday.

Oklahoma City Thunder guards Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (back) and Josh Giddey (illness) have been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. This is not good news as the Thunder will be without their starting backcourt on Saturday. Luckily, Luguentz Dort (hand) will play and is expected to carry this offense. Tre Mann, Isaiah Joe, and Aaron Wiggins will all see more playing time as well with Gilgeous-Alexander and Giddey sidelined. Between the three players, Mann has the highest upside and is the most reliable streaming choice.
