Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Ajay Mitchell, Cason Wallace, Chet Holmgren and Isaiah Hartenstein will start Friday's game against the Kings.Holmgren is back in the lineup after missing Wednesday's loss to the Trail Blazers.

Chet Holmgren (back) is not on the injury report against the Kings on Friday.Holmgren will be back after missing Wednesday's game.

Aaron Wiggins (adductor) has been ruled out against the Kings on Friday.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.
Aaron Wiggins accumulated 27 points (10-of-19 FGs), two rebounds, two assists, three steals and seven three-pointers in Wednesday's loss to the Trail Blazers.While Wiggins' value in category leagues hasn't been great thus far, he has been a valuable option for fantasy managers needing points and three-pointers. He notched season-highs in both categories on Wednesday, taking advantage of the move into the starting lineup due to Chet Holmgren's absence. Wiggins is rostered in 17 percent of Yahoo! leagues, which is a fair percentage due to the role and production. He'll remain a specialist in fantasy leagues, but there would be added streaming value if Luguentz Dort (shoulder) misses additional time.
