Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Will Miss At Least Two More Weeks
Oklahoma City Thunder point/shooting guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (foot) will be down for at least the next two weeks as he continues to rehab plantar fasciitis, head coach Mark Daigneault revealed Friday. Gilgeous-Alexander faces a muddled path to returning to action this season, especially as OKC has shown a propensity for erring on the side of […]
DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (4/16/21): NBA DFS Lineups
Yesterday was basically a day off in the Association, so that makes tonight a ten-game monster with an afternoon matinee if you still can't get enough. We already have a lot of the injury news, which is nice. Kyle Lowry is resting again and he will be joined by OG Anunoby and Pascal Siakam. His […]

Luguentz Dort Left Off Friday's Injury Report
Oklahoma City Thunder forward Luguentz Dort (shoulder) was left off of Friday's injury report, seemingly indicating that he'll be available for the tilt against the Pistons. Dort missed a game with a sore shoulder, though he was excellent in his last time out, exploding for a career-high 42 points and seven threes. He's an intriguing […]
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Aleksej Pokusevski Out Friday
Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (foot) and forward Aleksej Pokusevski (arm) are both out for Friday's game against the Pistons. Gilgeous-Alexander remains out with plantar fasciitis- and it wouldn't be entirely surprising to see the team shut him down for the remainder of the season with little left to play for. Pokusevski's absence should […]

Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk Enters Starting Five
Oklahoma City Thunder guard Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk will enter the starting five with Luguentz Dort (shoulder) sidelined Wednesday. Mykhailiuk should be headed for 25-plus minutes against the Warriors, a workload that has yielded double-figure scoring efforts from the 23-year-old each time this season. Golden State allows the 13th-most points per game to shooting guards, so Mykhailiuk […]
Aleksej Pokusevski Will Sit Second Straight Game Wednesday
Oklahoma City Thunder forward Aleksej Pokusevski (arm) will not play Wednesday against the Golden State Warriors. Pokusevski is dealing with a sore shooting arm and there have not been any updates on how serious this is.

Aleksej Pokusevski Out On Tuesday Evening
Oklahoma City Thunder forward Aleksej Pokusevski (arm) will not play on Tuesday night against the Jazz. The 19-year-old injured his right arm on Saturday against the 76ers and will leave OKC short-handed underneath the basket. Luckily, Tony Bradley will help fill the void, with the 23-year-old racking up 16 points, 14 rebounds, and three blocks […]
Isaiah Roby To Miss Another Contest
Oklahoma City Thunder center Isaiah Roby (head) will miss Tuesday's game against Utah. This will mark Roby's fifth straight absence while trying to work his way back from concussion protocol.
