Ajay Mitchell

Mitchell injured his toe during Oklahoma City's January 3 win over the Knicks and has not appeared in a game since. His absence leaves the Thunder down a rotation guard, but this will not significantly impact fantasy basketball. Given the timeline provided by Oklahoma City, Mitchell is unlikely to provide value during the fantasy playoffs.

Injured during the Thunder's win over New York on January 3, Mitchell will miss a third consecutive game. His absence frees up additional minutes for Cason Wallace and Isaiah Joe, who are already in the Thunder rotation. They're both deep-league options at best.

Caruso is set to miss his eighth straight game with a hip injury. With Ajay Mitchell (toe) already ruled out, Aaron Wiggins, Isaiah Joe and Cason Wallace will see increased playing time and can be used as streaming options in deeper formats.

Mitchell injured his toe last Friday against the Knicks and also sat out Sunday's game against the Celtics. He's set to miss his second game with the toe injury Wednesday. Cason Wallace and Isaiah Joe are set for increased playing time and can be used as streamers in deeper formats with Alex Caruso (hip) also out.

Due to his hip injury, Caruso will miss a seventh straight game on Sunday. With Ajay Mitchell (toe) also out, Aaron Wiggins, Isaiah Joe, and Cason Wallace may pick up a few additional minutes. While none have been consistently reliable fantasy options, whichever one starts will be worth a look in deep leagues due to the injuries.
