Alex Caruso

Caruso sat out the second leg of OKC's back-to-back on Wednesday, but he'll be back against Sacramento. He'll occupy his typical role off the bench, which should push Ousmane Dieng out of the rotation.

Wiggins started in OKC's last game on Wednesday, but he won't be available to play Sacramento. Chet Holmgren and Alex Caruso will be back, but Wiggins' absence will open up more minutes for Ajay Mitchell and Isaiah Joe, even if Luguentz Dort returns from his shoulder injury.

Wednesday's game is the second in as many nights for the Thunder, who took care of the Clippers on Tuesday. As a result, some rotation players, including Caruso, will not play. His absence may lead to legitimate rotation minutes for Brooks Barnhizer and Chris Youngblood, who are both on two-way contracts. Neither is a streaming candidate on an 11-game slate.

Dort suffered a right shoulder contusion during Tuesday's win over the Clippers and will not play on Wednesday. Aaron Wiggins, Isaiah Joe and Ajay Mitchell are all worth streaming in deep leagues, even if only one of them (likely Wiggins) will be able to start. Oklahoma City is also without Chet Holmgren and Alex Caruso, so there will be plenty of minutes to go around.
