Troy Murphy

DAL Power Forward #6

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players
Troy Murphy (groin) and Brian Zoubek (back) did not play Thursday in their preseason game against the Celtics.

Coach Avery Johnson plans to play Murphy for 18 minutes on Saturday against the 76ers, and with rookie Derrick Favors playing poorly, his role is nowhere near in jeopardy. Just keep an eye on Saturday’s matchup to see if this injury is more serious than Johnson has been letting on.

Jaylin Williams

OKC Power Forward #10

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Jaylin Williams (heel) is out for Monday’s game against the Grizzlies.

Williams has missed two games due to heel bursitis, and he’ll miss a third on Monday. With Isaiah Hartenstein also out, Branden Carlson may enter the rotation. However, he would not be worth rostering in redraft leagues.

Aaron Wiggins

OKC Guard #21

Aaron Wiggins (adductor) is questionable for Monday’s game against the Grizzlies.

Wiggins did not play in Friday’s loss to the Timberwolves, one night after logging 23 minutes in a win over the Clippers. If he’s unable to play, there would be a few more minutes available to fellow reserves Ajay Mitchell and Isaiah Joe.

Chet Holmgren

OKC Center-Forward #7
Chet Holmgren (back) is questionable for Monday’s game against the Grizzlies.

Holmgren is dealing with lower back spasms and is not guaranteed to be available for Monday’s game. The Thunder are also in action Tuesday, so the 7-foot-1 forward/center may have been ruled out for one of the next two, even if he were healthy. With Isaiah Hartenstein and Jaylin Williams already out, Branden Carlson may pick up rotation minutes on Monday.

Isaiah Hartenstein

OKC Center-Forward #55
Isaiah Hartenstein (calf) is out for Monday’s game against the Grizzlies.

Monday’s game is the first of two in as many nights for the Thunder, so Hartenstein won’t play as he continues to work his way back from a calf injury. Cason Wallace should return to the starting lineup, raising his fantasy ceiling while shifting Chet Holmgren to the five.

Ousmane Dieng

OKC Forward #13

Ousmane Dieng (calf) is out for Monday’s game against the Grizzlies.

Dieng’s absence does not affect fantasy basketball, as he does not play consistent rotation minutes. He should only be rostered in dynasty leagues.

Alex Caruso

OKC Guard #9
Alex Caruso (finger) is questionable for Monday’s game against the Grizzlies.

Caruso has a sprained middle finger on his right hand, which is why he appears on the injury report. With the Thunder also playing on Tuesday, this may be viewed as an opportunity to get the veteran guard a night off. If Caruso sits, Ajay Mitchell and Cason Wallace will figure more prominently in the rotation.

Peyton Watson

DEN Guard #8
Peyton Watson (trunk) is questionable for Monday’s game against the Jazz.

Watson has missed the last two games with a right trunk contusion. Tim Hardaway Jr. was his most recent replacement in the starting lineup, but Bruce Brown’s opportunities have also increased with Watson sidelined. For managers seeking production across multiple categories, Brown is the better streaming choice if Watson can’t play.

Lauri Markkanen

UTA Forward-Center #23
Lauri Markkanen (groin) is questionable for Monday’s game against the Nuggets.

Markkanen did not play in Saturday’s win over the Magic, so Kyle Filipowski started alongside Jusuf Nurkić. That would remain the case if Lauri can’t play on Monday. At this point, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to hold onto Filipowski, even if he’s asked to come off the bench.

Kevin Love

UTA Forward-Center #42
Kevin Love (rest) is out for Monday’s game against the Nuggets.

Love will not play on Monday for rest reasons. With Kyle Anderson absent from the injury report, he may pick up a few rotation minutes. However, there’s no need to roster Anderson.

Jakob Poeltl

TOR Center #19
Jakob Poeltl (back) will not return to Sunday’s game against the Nets.

Poeltl, who has been dealing with lower back issues since the preseason, has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday’s game. According to the Raptors, his back has tightened up after seven minutes of game action. Sandro Mamukelashvili and Collin Murray-Boyles will absorb the minutes that would have gone to Poeltl.
