Aaron

Wiggins

Saturday’s NBA Cup semifinal will be the third game Joe has missed due to a left knee contusion. With everyone else of consequence available for the Thunder, his minutes will be absorbed by Cason Wallace, Ajay Mitchell and Aaron Wiggins.

Joe will miss a second straight game, but with Luguentz Dort and Alex Caruso both back, his minutes will likely be divided up by those two, as well as Ajay Mitchell, Aaron Wiggins and Cason Wallace.

Sunday’s performance was the best for Wiggins since returning from an adductor strain that sidelined him for 11 games. And this was the third outing in which he made at least five three-pointers. Shooting 60 percent from the field, Wiggins has provided top-100 fantasy value over the past week, receiving a boost due to the absences of Luguentz Dort and Alex Caruso. He’ll continue to have added value if those two can’t play in Wednesday’s NBA Cup quarterfinal against the Suns.

Friday’s game will be the third that Caruso has missed since suffering a right quad contusion. While his absence does not affect the starting lineup, it does free up additional minutes for multiple wings, including Isaiah Joe and Aaron Wiggins.

With Caruso out, Isaiah Joe and Cason Wallace could see an uptick in playing time. Aaron Wiggins is making his return following a lengthy absence, and he could see some additional run as well.

Following an 11-game absence, Wiggins will be back in the lineup against Portland. He started in the last game he played in, but with the backcourt rotation completely healthy, he’ll likely play a limited role off the bench, which won’t be enough time for him to make a fantasy impact.

Wiggins has not appeared in a game since November 5, leaving the Thunder down an option on the bench. Isaiah Joe has taken on added importance, having hit double figures in three of his last four games. If Oklahoma City is also without Shai Gilgeous-Alexander on Wednesday, Joe will be worth the add.

Wiggins has not played since November 5, but the Thunder have not provided a timeline for his return. With Jalen Williams also out, there have been additional minutes available to Ajay Mitchell and Isaiah Joe. Of the two, Mitchell is the player whom managers should prioritize on the waiver wire.

Wiggins has missed Oklahoma City’s last seven games, freeing up additional minutes for the other reserves. Ajay Mitchell, Isaiah Joe and Alex Caruso have benefited the most, especially with Jalen Williams also out due to injury.

Wiggins has not appeared in a game since November 5, missing Oklahoma City’s last six games. Wednesday will make seven, raising the fantasy ceilings of Ajay Mitchell and Isaiah Joe. Mitchell, who has been consistently productive this season, should be rostered until the Thunder are whole.
