Thunder's Ousmane Dieng: Misses game with illness
Dieng was ruled out ahead of Thursday's 121-115 loss to the Mavericks due to an illness.
Before sitting out Thursday, Dieng had appeared in each of Oklahoma City's previous four games, averaging 5.8 points and 1.8 rebounds in 11.3 minutes per contest. Even if Dieng shakes off the illness in time for the Thunder's next contest Sunday in Portland, he might fall out of the rotation if Isaiah Hartenstein (calf) is cleared to return from a five-game absence.

Thunder's Kenrich Williams: Pedestrian effort in loss
Williams produced six points (2-4 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds and one steal in 20 minutes during Thursday's 121-115 loss to Dallas.
While Williams put forth a pedestrian effort Thursday, his recent uptick in playing time is worth noting. Over his last seven games, the veteran forward has averaged 4.3 rebounds, 3.7 points and 0.7 assists in 17.0 minutes. Even though Williams should remain a candidate for additional reserve minutes in Oklahoma City's frontcourt while starting center Isaiah Hartenstein sits on the shelf with a calf injury, the former is shooting just 27.8 percent from the floor during that span and could remain hard-pressed to muster much fantasy relevance.

Thunder's Shai Gilgeous-Alexander: Adds another 30-point display
Gilgeous-Alexander closed with 31 points (12-25 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 6-6 FT), one rebound and seven assists across 40 minutes during Thursday's 121-115 loss to Dallas.
Fresh off scoring a career-high 54 points Wednesday, Gilgeous-Alexander added another impressive display to his MVP-caliber campaign. Thursday's 31 points marked the 26th time this season that he's reached the 30-point plateau for the Thunder. The superstar guard has averaged a whopping 34.9 points, 6.1 assists, 4.9 rebounds, 2.3 steals, 1.0 blocks and 1.4 three-pointers across his last nine appearances.

Thunder's Jalen Williams: Massive two-way impact Thursday
Williams ended with 33 points (11-19 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 7-10 FT), four rebounds, seven assists, one block and four steals over 40 minutes during Thursday's 121-115 loss to the Mavericks.
It was Williams' first 30-point effort since a Dec. 20 win over Miami, and he also turned in a full stat line for the Thunder despite a losing effort Thursday. The 23-year-old rising star remains one of the most balanced two-way players in the Western Conference as he pushes for his first career All-Star nod in 2024-25. Through his last nine games, Williams has delivered well-rounded averages of 22.6 points, 5.3 assists, 4.6 rebounds, 2.0 steals, 0.9 blocks and 1.5 three-pointers.

Thunder's Cason Wallace: Leaves with apparent facial injury
Wallace went to the bench with 9:09 remaining in the fourth quarter of Thursday's game against the Mavericks and then headed to the locker room due to an apparent facial injury, Brandon Rahbar of DailyThunder.com reports.
Wallace was hit in the face by Kyrie Irving on a loose-ball scramble. The second-year wing had recorded seven points (3-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt), seven rebounds, two steals and one assist in 26 minutes prior to checking out of the contest.

Thunder's Luguentz Dort: Ejected against Dallas
Dort has been ejected from Thursday's game against the Mavericks for a flagrant two foul on Daniel Gafford, Kevin Gray Jr. of AllDLLS.com reports.
Dort's flagrant two foul on Gafford resulted in the Mavericks' big man being down on the floor for some time before heading to the locker room. Fortunately for Gafford, he was able to return in the second half. Still, the damage was done for Oklahoma City, with one of their best defensive players out for the rest of the game and possibly facing a suspension for his actions Thursday.

Thunder's Aaron Wiggins: Retreats to bench Thursday
Wiggins will come off the bench in Thursday's game against the Mavericks, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.
Cason Wallace will supplant Wiggins in the starting five after he posted 10 points (4-7 FG, 2-4 3Pt), four rebounds, one assist and one steal across 23 minutes as a member of the starting five during Wednesday's win over Utah. Over his last five outings (two starts), the 26-year-old has averaged 8.8 points, 4.2 rebounds and 2.8 assists in 24.2 minutes per contest.

Thunder's Cason Wallace: Starting Thursday
Wallace will start in Thursday's game against Dallas, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.
The 21-year-old will reclaim his starting spot from Aaron Wiggins after coming off the bench in Wednesday's win over Utah. Wallace has started in 28 of his 42 regular-season appearances thus far, during which he has averaged 7.6 points, 3.9 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 1.8 steals in 29.5 minutes per contest.

Thunder's Alex Caruso: Ties season high with four steals
Caruso finished Wednesday's 123-114 victory over Utah with seven points (3-7 FG, 1-4 3Pt), five assists, four steals and three rebounds across 20 minutes.
Caruso hasn't played more than 20 minutes in any of his five appearances since returning from a 10-game absence due to a left hip strain, but he's quickly put himself back on the radar as a streaming option for steals. In those five games, he's produced nine steals, bringing his average to 1.9 over his 25 appearances on the season. Caruso will likely need to move into a consistent 25-minute role to emerge as a roster-worthy option in 12-team category leagues, but that doesn't appear likely to come to fruition anytime soon while Luguentz Dort and Cason Wallace are both healthy and locked in as the Thunder's top options on the wing.

Hartenstein (calf) is out for Thursday's game versus the Mavericks.
Hartenstein will miss his fifth straight contest Thursday due to a left calf strain. While the 26-year-old big man is expected to be re-evaluated in the coming days, his next chance to suit up is Sunday's matchup with Portland.

Thunder's Cason Wallace: Leads bench in scoring Wednesday
Wallace finished Wednesday's 123-114 victory over the Jazz with 13 points (6-8 FG, 1-2 3Pt), four rebounds, three steals and one assist in 36 minutes.
Wallace led the Thunder bench in scoring, joining the second unit for just the third time across his last 15 outings. The 21-year-old has seen plenty of action in the starting lineup this season, and he is on pace to average several career highs in his second season. Over his last 10 appearances (nine starts), Wallace has averaged 10.9 points, 4.0 rebounds, 2.9 assists and 1.7 steals in 31.7 minutes per contest.

Thunder's Jalen Williams: Scores 25 points in return
Williams registered 25 points (9-18 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 6-7 FT), three rebounds, two assists and two steals across 36 minutes during Wednesday's 123-114 win over Utah.
Williams delivered a productive performance after missing Sunday's win over the Nets due to a strained right hip. The 23-year-old finished as the club's second-leading scorer behind Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (54 points), and Williams has racked up 20-plus points in 24 of his 42 regular-season appearances. Over his last five outings, he has averaged 20.8 points, 4.8 rebounds, 4.2 assists and 1.6 steals across 31.6 minutes per contest. However, Williams has shot only 43.9 percent from the field and 28.6 percent from deep in that five-game span.

Thunder's Shai Gilgeous-Alexander: Career-high 54 points in win
Gilgeous-Alexander posted 54 points (17-35 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 17-18 FT), eight rebounds, five assists, three steals and two blocks across 37 minutes during Wednesday's 123-114 win over Utah.
Gilgeous-Alexander exploded for a career-high mark in points and sank a season-high 17 free throws. The MVP candidate has scored at least 20 points in 38 consecutive contests, and he continues to stuff the stat sheet on both ends of the floor. Moreover, Gilgeous-Alexander has now racked up five combined steals-plus-blocks in 11 outings this season. Over his last five appearances, the superstar has averaged 36.0 points, 7.2 assists, 4.8 rebounds, 2.6 steals and 0.8 blocks across 31.6 minutes per game.

Thunder's Cason Wallace: On bench Wednesday
Wallace isn't part of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against Utah, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.
Wallace will be replaced by Aaron Wiggins in the first unit Wednesday, ending Wallace's streak of nine consecutive starts. Still, expect Wallace to see a sizeable role off the bench, especially considering the Thunder will be without Isaiah Joe (illness).
