Luguentz Dort (adductor) is not on the injury report for Wednesday's game against the Suns.Dort will be back after a three-game absence. Jaylin Williams started OKC's last two games, but he will likely be pushed to the bench with Dort healthy. With Isaiah Hartenstein still out, Williams should still play a large role off the bench.
Isaiah Joe (knee) has been ruled out against the Suns on Wednesday.Joe will miss a second straight game, but with Luguentz Dort and Alex Caruso both back, his minutes will likely be divided up by those two, as well as Ajay Mitchell, Aaron Wiggins and Cason Wallace.
Aaron Wiggins recorded 19 points (6-of-9 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), three rebounds, one assist and five three-pointers in Sunday's win over the Jazz.Sunday's performance was the best for Wiggins since returning from an adductor strain that sidelined him for 11 games. And this was the third outing in which he made at least five three-pointers. Shooting 60 percent from the field, Wiggins has provided top-100 fantasy value over the past week, receiving a boost due to the absences of Luguentz Dort and Alex Caruso. He'll continue to have added value if those two can't play in Wednesday's NBA Cup quarterfinal against the Suns.
