Luguentz Dort

Dort posted 12 points (4-12 FG, 4-9 3Pt), eight rebounds, three assists and one steal in 34 minutes during Tuesday's 104-95 win over New Orleans.

Tensions boiled over after an Oklahoma City Thunder-New Orleans Pelicans game Tuesday night, with Luguentz Dort and Jeremiah Fears mixing it up.

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.

Joe will make his first start of the season on Friday, replacing Ajay Mitchell, who started against the Bucks on Wednesday. The Thunder have won seven of their last eight games and appear to be back on track following back-to-back blowout wins. They remain atop the Western Conference standings and own the NBA's best record.

Dort (foot) is back from a one-game absence and will reclaim his usual spot in the Thunder's starting lineup. He'll join a cast of familiar faces in the opening lineup for the Thunder's first matchup with the Rockets since their opening-day double-overtime thriller, which OKC won by a point.
