Aleksej Pokusevski Removed From Injury Report

Oklahoma City Thunder forward Aleksej Pokusevski (health and safety protocols) is no longer listed on the injury report and could play Friday against the Phoenix Suns.

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (plantar fasciitis) will be out until at least mid-April. Gilgeous-Alexander will be reevaluated at that point, per head coach Mark Daigneault. It's not very encouraging that the team has yet to name an exact timetable for his return, though there's still at least some hope that he'll be able […]

Aleksej Pokusevski To Be Sidelined Wednesday

Oklahoma City Thunder forward Aleksej Pokusevski (health and safety protocols) has been ruled out for Wednesday's contest with the Raptors. Pokusevski has entered the league's protocols, though it's unclear if he has the virus himself or was exposed.

Oklahoma City Thunder forward Luguentz Dort (head) is set to miss Monday's game against Dallas as he remains in the league's concussion protocols.

Fantasy Basketball Deep League Adds: Week 14

The deeper a fantasy league, the harder it is to hit a winner with your last few picks. It is also harder to find decent help from the waiver wire if your late-round picks don't do you justice. If you picked up a few stinkers, don't lose hope just yet. I will try to help […]

Theo Maledon Shines In Loss

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Theo Maledon broke out during Saturday's loss to the Boston Celtics. He finished with 22 points, eight rebounds, four assists, two steals and four triples in 37 minutes. This might very well be his best outing of the season, so hopefully there is more to come. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (foot) is without […]

Moses Brown Posts Career-High Rebounds

Oklahoma City Thunder center Moses Brown has run away with the starting job now that Al Horford has been shut down. Fantasy managers need to check the waiver wire right now and see if Brown is available. He is putting up monster numbers and that continued during Saturday's game versus the Boston Celtics.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 4% of leagues ANALYSIS: When you think of a player capable of a quick transition to the NBA level, you don't typically think of a 19-year-old, second-round draft pick (34th overall) out of France; yet here we are 39 games into Theo Maledon's rookie season, and the […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 35% of leagues ANALYSIS: With a 12-32 record and the departure of big-minute occupiers Blake Griffin, Delon Wright, Derrick Rose, and Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk, it's a good time to be a rookie for the Detroit Pistons. The rotation now consists of a few key veterans, the young talent […]

Al Horford To Sit For The Rest Of The Year

Oklahoma City Thunder forward Al Horford will sit out the remainder of the season. This wasn't particularly surprising, given Horford's frequent rest this year. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander's plantar fasciitis may have forced the Thunder into making this decision sooner than they would have liked- though the team gets to see what they have in their young […]
