Rotoworld Player News

Branden Carlson

OKC Center #15

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Branden Carlson posted a full line on Sunday with 26 points (10-of-20 FGs), 10 rebounds, one assist, two steals, five blocks and five three-pointers against the Suns.

Carlson got a second straight start, and he was incredibly productive in both. He contributed 49 points, 22 rebounds, six blocks and eight triples as a starter over the last two games. Carlson is on a two-way deal, and he spent most of the season in the G League. With Chet Holmgren and Isaiah Hartenstein both healthy, Carlson won’t see the floor much outside of blowouts during the playoffs.
Nikola Topić

OKC Guard #44

Nikola Topić recorded a double-double on Sunday with 18 points (8-of-16 FGs, 0-of-3 FTs), four rebounds, 14 assists, two three-pointers and five turnovers in a 135-103 loss to the Suns.

Topić got his second straight start, which allowed him to record his second straight double-double. Having been diagnosed with cancer in October, Topić miraculously made his NBA debut in February, but he played a limited role up until the last two games. He still has plenty of upside, and he’ll likely be in the rotation for OKC next season. However, he won’t see the floor much during the playoffs.
Payton Sandfort

OKC Forward #14

Payton Sandfort lit up the Suns with 23 points (9-of-13 FGs), four rebounds, one steal and five three-pointers on Sunday.

Sandfort signed a two-way deal with OKC in March, and this was just his fourth appearance. The Thunder already clinched the best record in the league, which led to him playing 28 minutes for a second straight game. He had a monster performance off the bench in this game, but he likely won’t see the floor during the playoffs. Still, it was an impressive performance, and he’ll certainly be kept around the organization.
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander

OKC Guard #2

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (oblique), Jalen Williams (hamstring) and Isaiah Joe (knee) are out for Sunday’s game against the Suns.

Gilgeous-Alexander, Williams and Joe remain out for Oklahoma City’s final regular-season game, as the outcome will not affect playoff seeding. Nikola Topić started at point guard on Friday and played 39 minutes; he’ll likely take on a similar workload on Sunday. Brooks Barnhizer and Payton Sandfort played significant minutes off the bench against the Nuggets and will remain in the rotation.
Cason Wallace

OKC Guard #22

Cason Wallace (toe), Ajay Mitchell (ankle) and Alex Caruso (rest) are out for Sunday’s game against the Suns.

With nothing on the line in Sunday’s game, the Thunder are once again resting their rotation player of note, save Luguentz Dort, Aaron Wiggins and Jared McCain. Dort only played 20 minutes in Friday’s loss to the Nuggets; look for him to take on a similar workload on Sunday. Wiggins, McCain and Nikola Topić should remain in the starting lineup.
Chet Holmgren

OKC Center-Forward #7

Chet Holmgren (back), Isaiah Hartenstein (calf) and Jaylin Williams (Achilles) are out for Sunday’s game against the Suns.

With the No. 1 seed in the Western Conference secured earlier this week, the Thunder’s priority has been getting their rotation players to full strength. No Holmgren, Hartenstein or JayWill means that Branden Carlson and Kenrich Williams will play significant minutes on Sunday, as was the case in Friday’s loss to the Nuggets.
Branden Carlson

OKC Center #15

Branden Carlson had 23 points (8-of-18 FGs, 4-of-4 FTs), 12 rebounds, five assists, one block and three three-pointers in Friday’s loss to the Nuggets.

Carlson has appeared in 72 games over the last two seasons with the Thunder, but hasn’t distinguished himself very much in his 9.1 minutes per game. That changed on Friday as he played 37 minutes and had a great game against the Nuggets. Carlson had 23 points, 12 rebounds and five assists. He’s still buried on the depth chart when the Thunder’s regulars are healthy and active.
Nikola Topić

OKC Guard #44

Nikola Topić, Jared McCain, Luguentz Dort, Aaron Wiggins and Branden Carlson will start Friday’s game against the Thunder.

Dort, who needs to play in one more game to be eligible for postseason honors, is the lone starter available for Friday’s game. Of the four replacements, McCain and Wiggins offer the highest ceilings for those in active fantasy leagues.
Cason Wallace

OKC Guard #22

Cason Wallace (toe) and Ajay Mitchell (ankle) will miss the game against the Nuggets on Friday.

Wallace and Mitchell are a couple of Oklahoma City’s rotation players who won’t play against the Nuggets on Friday. Several starters have also been ruled out, leaving the Thunder with limited depth. They locked up the top overall seed on Wednesday and will have homecourt advantage throughout the playoffs.
Isaiah Hartenstein

OKC Center-Forward #55

Isaiah Hartenstein (calf) and Isaiah Joe (knee) won’t play against the Nuggets on Friday.

Hartenstein and Joe are among the several Thunder players who have been ruled out of Friday’s matchup with the Nuggets. OKC officially clinched homecourt advantage throughout the playoffs after defeating the Clippers on Wednesday. Friday’s game, however, could affect the Nuggets’ standing in the Western Conference standings.
