Micah Peavy

OKC Guard-Forward #7

ESPN’s Shams Charania reports the Thunder have agreed on a two-way contract with Micah Peavy.

Peavy was waived by the Grizzlies earlier this week and went unclaimed. Now the former 18th overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft will try to carve out a role for himself on the Thunder. He reportedly picked Oklahoma City over Toronto as the Raptors had also offered him a two-way contract.
Ajay Mitchell

OKC Guard #25

Ajay Mitchell amassed 12 points (5-of-11 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), five steals and one blocked shot in Thursday’s win over the Nuggets.

While he may not be in the Thunder’s starting lineup, Mitchell can still provide solid fantasy value. He played 24 minutes against the Nuggets, doubling his point total from Tuesday’s win over the Spurs. More important for fantasy managers were the “stocks": Mitchell tallied six steals and blocks after recording none in San Antonio. Five-steal nights are unlikely to be the norm, but Mitchell can be close to a top-100 fantasy player for a second consecutive season.
Chet Holmgren

OKC Center-Forward #7

Chet Holmgren recorded 12 points (5-of-9 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), 17 rebounds, two assists, one steal and four blocks in Thursday’s win over the Nuggets.

After blocking four shots in Tuesday’s season opener, Holmgren matched that mark on Thursday night. Add in the rebounds, and this was an excellent night for those rostering the slender 7-footer, especially in category leagues. The Western Conference Finals may have left a bad taste in Holmgren’s mouth, but he appears to have put that behind him. This could be a big season for Holmgren if he stays healthy.
Jalen Williams

OKC Guard-Forward #8

Jalen Williams accounted for 21 points (7-of-15 FGs, 5-of-6 FTs), five rebounds, three assists and two three-pointers in Thursday’s win over the Nuggets.

J-Dub was Oklahoma City’s top scorer in their home opener, leading the team with 21 points while shooting just under 50 percent from the field. Williams, who appeared in just 33 games last season, looked much sharper than he did in Tuesday’s season-opening win over the Spurs. If he stays healthy, J-Dub should deliver a top-50 season to fantasy managers at a minimum.
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander

OKC Guard #2

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander finished Thursday’s win over the Nuggets with 17 points (6-of-19 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), two rebounds, three assists, one block and three three-pointers.

Gilgeous-Alexander started extremely slowly on Thursday, scoring just two points on 0-of-6 shooting in the first half. The reigning MVP scored 15 points in the second half, but it wasn’t enough to extend his streak of at least 20-point games to 142. Gilgeous-Alexander doesn’t have many nights like this, so fantasy managers have no reason to worry. The Thunder host the Clippers on Sunday in their final Week 1 game.
Nikola Topić

OKC Guard #44

Nikola Topić (back) and Thomas Sorber (knee) are out for Thursday’s game against the Nuggets.

Topić and Sorber remain out, and neither has a concrete return timeline. Until the Thunder announce something, they should be considered out indefinitely. Only roster both in dynasty leagues.
Jared McCain

OKC Guard #3

Jared McCain provided a boost off the bench with 20 points (7-of-9 FGs), two rebounds, two assists, one steal and six three-pointers against the Spurs on Tuesday.

McCain was on fire from beyond the arc in this game and was able to spark some runs for the Thunder. He matched his career high for three-pointers in a game, which he also did twice during the first month of his rookie season. McCain was an excellent addition for the Thunder last season, and he’s going to continue to make an impact off the bench this year. However, managers shouldn’t be rushing to the waiver wire after this since he likely won’t have performances of this magnitude consistently.
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander

OKC Guard #2

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander led the Thunder with 32 points (13-of-27 FGs), six rebounds, four assists, three steals, three blocks and three three-pointers in a 116-104 win over the Spurs on Tuesday.

The back-to-back MVP started his campaign for three straight with a statement performance against the team that eliminated them from the playoffs last season. He somehow improved his game even more this summer, and it was on full display in the win. He was one of the top few picks in fantasy basketball drafts and was more than worth the early selection. He’ll look to stay hot in their home opener against the Nuggets on Friday.
Jaylin Williams

OKC Forward #6

Jaylin Williams (heel) is not on the injury report for Tuesday’s game against the Spurs.

Williams missed time during the preseason with a heel injury, so his absence from the injury report is a positive development. However, with Chet Holmgren, Isaiah Hartenstein and Aday Mara also available, JayWill may not get the minutes needed to impact fantasy basketball on Tuesday.
Chet Holmgren

OKC Center-Forward #7

Chet Holmgren (quad) is not on the injury report for Tuesday’s game against the Spurs.

Despite missing time during the preseason with a quad injury, Holmgren is not on the injury report for Tuesday’s season opener. As a result, Aday Mara may not get the minutes that he did during the preseason, but the rookie should still be in the rotation.
