Alex Caruso (ankle) is not expected to be out long term

After missing this third straight contest on Monday vs. the Cavs, Caruso is expected to not be out long term as his ankle sprain is not deemed serious. Even when the veteran guard gets back into the fold, the Thunder will still rely on the younger guys for heavy minutes.
Ajay Mitchell

OKC Guard #25

Ajay Mitchell had 20 points (7-of-16 FGs, 6-of-6 FTs), five rebounds, one assist and one block against the Cavaliers on Monday.

Mitchell appears to be the main beneficiary of the injuries the Thunder are dealing with. The 24-year-old guard took more shots and played more minutes than all of his teammates besides Shai Gilgeous-Alexander on Monday. Until the Thunder are back to full strength, fantasy managers can expect that to continue.
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander

OKC Guard #2

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander had 43 points (14-of-35 FGs, 11-of-12 FTs), four rebounds, eight assists, one steal, two blocks and four three-pointers in the Thunder’s 117-112 victory over the Cavaliers on Monday.

Gilgeous-Alexander had only eclipsed 30 points twice in the first six games of the season before dropping 43 points in the win over the Cavaliers Monday. The 28-year-old point guard had a full stat line that also included four rebounds, eight assists, one steal, two blocks and four three-pointers. Given the amount of injuries the Thunder are dealing with, Gilgeous-Alexander is going to continue to have nights like this to keep the team afloat, which is a boon for his fantasy value.
Aday Mara

OKC Center #15

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Ajay Mitchell, Kenrich Williams, Jaylin Williams and Isaiah Hartenstein will start Monday’s game against the Cavaliers.

Although Jared McCain is available for Monday’s game, the Thunder are starting with a bigger lineup. JayWill has replaced him, which should help the Thunder match up better against Cleveland’s Evan Mobley and Jarrett Allen.
Alex Caruso

OKC Guard #9

Alex Caruso (ankle) is out for Monday’s game against the Cavaliers.

Monday’s game will be the third that Caruso has missed since spraining his right ankle during Oklahoma City’s October 26 win over the Suns. Injuries have forced the Thunder to go deep into their bench, with rookie Bennett Stirtz playing 25 minutes or more in each of the last three games.
Kenrich Williams

OKC Guard-Forward #34

Kenrich Williams finished Saturday’s loss to the Rockets with 11 points (3-of-7 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), seven rebounds, two assists and three three-pointers.

After totaling 10 points in his first two starts of the season, Williams scored 11 on Saturday. He was most valuable against the Rockets in three-pointers and rebounds, but this performance doesn’t make “Kenny Hustle” a must-add heading into Oklahoma City’s four-game Week 3. Also, with the Thunder playing two games against Cleveland to start the week, it’s fair to wonder whether head coach Mark Daigneault would consider a bigger lineup to match up with Evan Mobley and Jarrett Allen. If so, Williams or Jared McCain (10/4/2/1) could be headed to the bench.
Isaiah Hartenstein

OKC Center-Forward #55

Isaiah Hartenstein amassed 10 points (3-of-8 FGs, 4-of-4 FTs), seven rebounds and three steals in Saturday’s loss to the Rockets.

With Chet Holmgren (knee) out for at least 8-10 weeks, the Thunder will rely even more on Hartenstein, Jaylin Williams (3/4/1/1) and Aday Mara (seven points, nine rebounds, three assists and four blocks) in the post. Of the three, Hartenstein is the safest option for fantasy managers, which is why he’s rostered in over 80 percent of Yahoo leagues.
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander

OKC Guard #2

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander tallied 26 points (10-of-20 FGs, 3-of-4 FTs), four rebounds, three assists, one steal and three three-pointers in Saturday’s loss to the Rockets.

Since the October 25 game against the Clippers in which Oklahoma City lost Jalen Williams and Cason Wallace, Gilgeous-Alexander has shot 49.1 percent from the field and 5-of-17 from beyond the arc. Of course, the Thunder have also lost Chet Holmgren since last Sunday, which allows opposing teams to devote even more attention to slowing down SGA. Fantasy managers will hope his efficiency doesn’t take too big a hit in the weeks to come. Oklahoma City plays four games next week, starting with two against the Cavaliers on Monday (away) and Wednesday (home).
Ochai Agbaji

FA Guard

ESPN’s Shams Charania reports the Thunder are no longer signing Ochai Agbaji in light of Chet Holmgren’s injury.

Agbaji was waived by the Knicks earlier this month. Charania reported Friday that he was signed by the Thunder, but Oklahoma City is re-evaluating its open roster spot in light of losing Holmgren (knee) for at least two months. It appears Agbaji will have to catch on with another team.
Cason Wallace

OKC Guard #22

Cason Wallace (labrum) will be reevaluated before the end of the season.

We expected as much since Shams had mentioned that both Jalen Williams and Cason Wallace had a possibility of coming back before the playoffs. Now its official from Thunder reporters. Cason Wallace just signed his extension with the Thunder for 139M over 5 years. It’s a good thing for fantasy owners that he signed that extension since he likely wasn’t getting as much money and commitment from the Thunder had he waited till this upcoming summer.
