OKC Guard #25

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Ajay Mitchell recorded 14 points (6-of-10 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), three rebounds, three assists and one steal in Tuesday’s loss to the Trail Blazers.

Mitchell has scored in double figures in five straight and nine of his last 10 games. Injuries that have beset the Thunder this season have created more opportunities for the third-year guard, who is averaging a career-high 18.5 points per game and providing top-100 fantasy value. As long as Mitchell stays healthy, he’s capable of maintaining his current production all season long.
Jared McCain

OKC Guard #3

Jared McCain tallied 21 points (6-of-12 FGs, 5-of-6 FTs), three rebounds, three assists and four three-pointers in Tuesday’s loss to the Trail Blazers.

After scoring 19 points off the bench in Saturday’s rout of the Wizards, McCain returned to the Thunder starting lineup on Tuesday. Shooting 4-of-7 from beyond the arc, the third-year guard recorded his third 20-point stat line of the season. While he can be inconsistent, McCain is on a bit of a heater, scoring 21, 19 and 21 points in his last three games.
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander

OKC Guard #2

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander recorded 26 points (8-of-22 FGs, 10-of-11 FTs), eight rebounds, three assists and one block in Tuesday’s loss to the Trail Blazers.

After playing the entire third quarter, Gilgeous-Alexander did not play at all in the fourth, as Portland managed to pull away. Due to Oklahoma City’s many injuries, the two-time MVP is being asked to do even more heavy lifting on offense. SGA’s field-goal percentage suffered on Tuesday, but that doesn’t do much to change his status as one of the most valuable players to roster in fantasy basketball. Oklahoma City plays Portland again on Wednesday, and the extra rest time he picked up in the fourth quarter on Tuesday could pay dividends for SGA.
Jared McCain

OKC Guard #3

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Ajay Mitchell, Jared McCain, Kenrich Williams and Isaiah Hartenstein will start Tuesday’s game against the Trail Blazers.

The Thunder made one change to their starting lineup, with McCain replacing Aday Mara. Portland has only one true big in its lineup, Donovan Clingan, so starting two 7-footers wouldn’t have been the best course of action.
Jaylin Williams

OKC Forward #6

Jaylin Williams (back) is out for Tuesday’s game against the Trail Blazers.

Tuesday’s game will be the fourth JayWill has missed due to lower back spasms. Aday Mara has started two of Oklahoma City’s last three games, with Jared McCain receiving the nod in the other.
Nique Clifford

OKC Guard #10

ESPN’s Shams Charania reports that the Thunder acquired Nique Clifford from the Kings for two second-round picks.

The Thunder need depth after being hit hard by injuries, while Clifford gets a fresh start after falling out of the Kings’ rotation. As a rookie, the 24th overall pick in the 2025 draft averaged 8.6 points, 3.8 rebounds and 2.4 assists in 25.1 minutes per game last season. Clifford averaged just over six minutes per game in eight appearances this season. Clifford may have a few more opportunities in Oklahoma City, a franchise that has developed young talent well over the years.
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander

OKC Guard #2

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander accumulated a game-high 30 points (11-of-20 FGs, 5-of-6 FTs), two rebounds, nine assists and one block over 29 minutes to propel the Thunder to a 114-75 blowout win over the Wizards.

Gilgeous-Alexander scored 30 points in just three quarters to help Oklahoma City cruise to a relatively easy 39-point victory on the second night of a back-to-back. The 28-year-old scoring machine is averaging a sublime 29.9 points through 10 games, topping 30 points in exactly half of those contests. The Thunder are back in action with a busy four-game week that includes back-to-back showdowns against the Trail Blazers in addition to road tilts against the Clippers and Kings.
Jared McCain

OKC Guard #3

Jared McCain tallied 19 points (8-of-10 FGs, 1-of-1 FGs), five rebounds, two assists, one steal and one block over 23 minutes in a blowout win over the Wizards on Saturday.

McCain continues to make a significant impact in a versatile role for Oklahoma City this season. He came off the bench in this one and wound up shooting 80 percent from the floor with both of his misses coming from three-point range. He’s scored at least 19 points in back-to-back games and is averaging 25 minutes for the injury-depleted Thunder. They’re back in action with a busy four-game week that includes back-to-back showdowns against the Trail Blazers in addition to road tilts against the Clippers and Kings.
Aday Mara

OKC Center #15

Aday Mara delivered a season-high 18 points (8-of-10 FGs, 1-of-2 FTs), eight rebounds, three assists and three blocks over 27 minutes in a one-sided win over the Wizards on Saturday.

Mara made the most of his opportunity to start on the second night of a back-to-back and was able to exploit Washington’s injury-depleted interior defense on the offensive end of the floor while also pulling down eight boards. The 21-year-old rookie figures to see plenty of action this upcoming week with the Thunder set to play four times, including back-to-back tilts against the Trail Blazers before facing the Clippers and Kings. He’s worthy of a roster spot in most fantasy leagues based on his ability to impact the defensive end of the floor. He’s averaging 8.1 points, 5.9 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1.9 blocks through 10 games this season. That’ll work.
Aday Mara

OKC Center #15

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Ajay Mitchell, Kenrich Williams, Aday Mara and Isaiah Hartenstein will start Saturday’s game against the Wizards.

The Thunder will start Saturday’s game with a bigger lineup, with Mara starting and Jared McCain coming off the bench. While the production hasn’t been consistent, Mara is worth the risk due to injuries to Jalen Williams and Chet Holmgren.
