Cason Wallace

An adductor injury has sidelined Luguentz Dort, opening up a spot in the starting lineup. Mitchell, who has provided solid fantasy value whether he starts or comes off the bench, will fill the void. He should already be rostered in 14-team leagues, and some 12-team leagues as well. The other four starters are unchanged.

Mitchell suffered a left knee contusion during the first half of Friday's game, playing just five minutes. His absence will likely result in a few more minutes for Cason Wallace, especially if Oklahoma City doesn't want to push Jalen Williams too far as he makes his season debut.

Williams is ready to make his first appearance of the season, forcing a change to the Thunder starting lineup. He replaces Isaiah Hartenstein, who can still provide solid fantasy value in a reserve role. The other four starters are unchanged, with the winner of Friday's matchup earning a spot in the NBA Cup quarterfinals.

Williams has yet to make his season debut, and updates from the Thunder have been scarce. Cason Wallace will remain in the starting lineup until that changes, while Ajay Mitchell and Isaiah Joe have added value off the bench.

Following a four-game absence, Dort will be back in the starting unit. His return will push Ajay Mitchell to the bench, where he has had success this season.
