Ajay Mitchell

Mitchell (abdomen) has been ruled out for Thursday's game in Minnesota.

Wiggins will get the starting nod with Cason Wallace (hip) and Ajay Mitchell (abdominals) both sidelined. In his most recent start, Wiggins had 12 points, six rebounds, three assists, five steals, one block and two three-pointers. He'll have value as a streamer.

Wallace exited early from Sunday's game, and he will remain out against New Orleans. With Alex Caruso (adductor) and Ajay Mitchell (abdominals) out as well, Aaron Wiggins should step into the starting lineup and have upside as a streaming option.

Caruso will be sidelined for a fourth straight game, as the Thunder look to snap a two-game skid and get back in the win column. With Caruso, Jalen Williams, and Ajay Mitchell unavailable, Cason Wallace (hip), if healthy, would be a nice streaming option for Tuesday's contest. Kenrich Williams and Isaiah Joe could also see quality minutes and have opportunities to produce.

Tuesday's absence will mark the third straight for the second-year guard out of Santa Barbara, who is enjoying a breakout sophomore campaign. Mitchell, despite spending most of the season as a reserve, is averaging 14.1 points, 3.5 rebounds, 3.7 assists, and 1.4 steals per game. His two-way versatility will be missed as the Thunder try to snap a two-game losing streak.
