Thunder's Ousmane Dieng: Ruled out for Game 3
Dieng (calf) is out for Game 3 against the Grizzlies on Thursday, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.
Dieng is set to miss his 18th straight game due to a left calf strain. There's no clear timetable for his return, though his next chance to play will come Saturday in Game 4. The 21-year-old had a limited role prior to the injury, averaging just 9.3 minutes over his last six appearances.

Thunder's Isaiah Hartenstein: Grabs 10 boards in win
Hartenstein closed with six points (3-7 FG), 10 rebounds, three assists and one block over 27 minutes during Tuesday's 118-99 victory over the Grizzlies in Game 2 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.
Hartenstein got the job done on the glass along with Chet Holmgren, as the two big men combined for 21 rebounds. Oklahoma City will now head into Game 3 with a commanding 2-0 lead as this series shifts to Memphis for the next two games.

Thunder's Luguentz Dort: Nearly double-doubles
Dort closed Tuesday's 118-99 win over the Grizzlies in Game 2 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs with eight points (3-9 FG, 2-7 3Pt) and nine rebounds in 33 minutes.
Dort's defense has been invaluable to the Thunder to open the playoffs, as he's been able to pick up Ja Morant for the length of the court and switch onto Jaren Jackson at times, all while fighting through countless screens. Through two games, the defensive wing is averaging 10.0 points, 6.0 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 3.0 three-pointers in 27.5 minutes.

Thunder's Alex Caruso: Makes impact off bench
Caruso totaled 13 points (5-10 FG, 3-6 3Pt), four rebounds, three assists, one block and three steals over 22 minutes during Tuesday's 118-99 win over the Grizzlies in Game 2 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.
Caruso wasn't utilized much in Game 1 due to the lopsided score, playing 12 minutes without a single point. Game 2 was a little closer, however, and was more indicative of what Caruso's role could look like going forward.

Thunder's Shai Gilgeous-Alexander: Game-high 27 points in Game 2
Gilgeous-Alexander registered 27 points (10-29 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 4-4 FT), seven rebounds, five assists and two steals over 38 minutes in Tuesday's 118-99 victory over the Grizzlies in Game 2 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.
Gilgeous-Alexander finished Tuesday's contest as the game's leading scorer, though he wasn't efficient from the field for a second straight game. Over the first two games of the series, Gilgeous-Alexander has connected on just 33.3 percent of his field-goal attempts and has gone 4-for-17 from beyond the arc. Gilgeous-Alexander's shooting hasn't been much of an issue as the Thunder have taken a 2-0 series lead in convincing fashion, and he'll look to have a better shooting performance in Game 3 at Memphis.

Thunder's Jalen Williams: Drops 24 points in Game 2
Williams registered 24 points (10-19 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-3 FT), six rebounds, five assists and one steal over 35 minutes in Tuesday's 118-99 win over Memphis in Game 2 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.
Williams finished Game 2 as the Thunder's second-leading scorer behind Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (27). Williams has scored 44 points over his two playoff games while connecting on 57.1 percent of his field-goal attempts. Including the playoffs, he has scored at least 20 points in eight of his last 10 outings.

Thunder's Chet Holmgren: Swats five shots in Game 2
Holmgren logged 20 points (6-14 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 5-6 FT), 11 rebounds and five blocks over 33 minutes in Tuesday's 118-99 win over the Grizzlies in Game 2 of the Western Conference playoffs.
Holmgren posted his second straight double-double of the playoffs and showed off his defensive dominance with a game-high five blocks. Including the playoffs, Holmgren has 13 double-doubles and five games in which he's logged at least five blocks. He's also been efficient from beyond the arc this postseason, connecting on six of his 12 three-point attempts in two playoff games.

Thunder's Ousmane Dieng: Ruled out for Game 2
Dieng is out for Game 2 of the Western Conference quarterfinals Tuesday against the Grizzlies with a left calf strain.
Dieng was last seen on the court for the March 15 regular-season loss to the Pistons, and his timetable for a return remains unclear. His next chance to suit up comes when the series moves to Memphis for Game 3 on Thursday. Jaylin Williams and Kenrich Williams should handle the bulk of the frontcourt reserve minutes until Dieng is cleared to play.

Thunder's Cason Wallace: Limited run in Game 1
Wallace (shoulder) finished with two points (1-1 FG), three assists, two rebounds and one steal across 13 minutes Sunday in the Thunder's 131-80 win over the Grizzlies in Game 1 of the first-round playoff series.
Wallace had missed Oklahoma City's final three games of the regular season due to a right shoulder strain, but his absences were likely precautionary with the Thunder having clinched the NBA's top record. The second-year guard was cleared to play ahead of the postseason opener, but he saw light minutes due to a combination of foul trouble and the Grizzlies' inability to keep the game competitive. He racked up four fouls in his 13 minutes and checked out of the contest for good with 2:15 left in the third quarter, when the Thunder had built a 51-point lead. Wallace should be in line for more playing time in Game 2 on Tuesday.

Thunder's Isaiah Hartenstein: Logs 21 minutes in Game 1 blowout
Hartenstein (Achilles) tallied 14 points (7-8 FG), eight rebounds, five assists and one steal across 21 minutes Sunday in the Thunder's 131-80 win over the Grizzlies in Game 1 of the first-round playoff series.
Hartenstein missed the final three games of the regular season due to left Achilles tendinitis, but he likely would have played in all of those contests if the Thunder hadn't already secured the league's top record. The 26-year-old big man was expected to enter the postseason without any restrictions. Still, he played seven minutes fewer than his season average in Game 1 due to the blowout nature of the contest. Hartenstein checked out of the game for good with 6:57 remaining in the third quarter while Oklahoma City had built a 42-point lead, but the center should see more playing time if the Grizzlies can keep things more competitive in future games in the series.

Thunder's Shai Gilgeous-Alexander: Shaky shooting in Game 1 win
Gilgeous-Alexander (shin) tallied 15 points (4-13 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 6-7 FT), five assists, three rebounds and two blocks across 23 minutes Sunday in the Thunder's 131-80 win over the Grizzlies in Game 1 of the first-round playoff series.
With the Thunder having secured the league's top record heading into the final week of the regular season, Gilgeous-Alexander sat out the team's last three games due to a left shin contusion. Still, the injury likely wouldn't have prevented him from playing if Oklahoma City had something at stake. As expected, Gilgeous-Alexander was cleared to play in the postseason opener, and while he didn't shoot the ball well from three-point range, he cleaned up at the free-throw line and received plenty of support from his teammates. Despite the substandard performance, Gilgeous-Alexander was a plus-28 during his time on the court, and the Thunder had the luxury of resting him for the final 17 minutes of the game after amassing a 51-point lead with 4:50 left in the third quarter. Gilgeous-Alexander should be in line for more substantial workloads in the remaining games of the series if the Grizzlies can stay more competitive.

Thunder's Luguentz Dort: Plays light minutes in blowout win
Dort (knee) tallied 12 points (4-8 FG, 4-8 3Pt), three rebounds, three steals, two assists and one block across 22 minutes Sunday in the Thunder's 131-80 win over the Grizzlies in Game 1 of the first-round playoff series.
Dort was sidelined for the Thunder's final three games of the regular season due to right patellofemoral injury management. Still, his absences were seemingly precautionary, as Oklahoma City had already clinched the league's best record. The veteran forward was fresh heading into the start of the postseason, but the Thunder didn't have to overextend Dort in the blowout win. He played 22 minutes -- seven less than his season average -- before the Thunder subbed out Dort, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Chet Holmgren out of the game for good while up 51 points with 4:50 remaining in the third quarter.
