Fantasy Winners and Losers of the 2021 NBA Trade Deadline
On Thursday, the NBA had one of it's most eventful trade deadlines in recent memory, even though the rumored Kyle Lowry trade never materialized. Lots of trades did happen, though. The Magic blew everything up. Victor Oladipo wound up as a member of the Heat. A seemingly endless series of small deals happened. So, now […]
George Hill Acquired By Philadelphia
The Philadelphia 76ers have acquired guard George Hill from the Oklahoma City Thunder. The 76ers were rumored to be interested in Raptors guard Kyle Lowry, though this deal all but removes them from consideration for the veteran guard's services. Hill brings a solid veteran presence to Philly, though he's missed the last two months of […]
Moses Brown Continues To Roll
Oklahoma City Thunder center Moses Brown had another impressive performance in Wednesday's loss to Memphis, picking up a double-double with 19 points and 12 rebounds and swatting away three shots for a second straight game.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Faces Extended Absence
Oklahoma City Thunder point/shooting guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (foot) is on track to miss multiple games due to a plantar fasciitis issue in his right foot. Thunder head coach Mark Daigneault was reluctant to refer to the injury as a long-term issue Wednesday, but he did say that it was more serious than a day-to-day ordeal. […]
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Remains Out On Wednesday
Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (foot) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. He is dealing with right foot plantar fasciitis, so the best way to heal this issue is rest. The Thunder are tanking anyway, so it wouldn't be surprising to see Gilgeous-Alexander miss more time. Ty Jerome and […]

Happy Tuesday, RotoBallers! Depending on the time you read this, we are either over or under two days until the NBA trade deadline.

Moses Brown Grabs Season-High 17 Rebounds
Oklahoma City Thunder center Moses Brown finished with four points, 17 rebounds, three blocks, and one steal in 34 minutes during Monday's win over the Wolves. The rookie has seldom played much of this season but has seen his minutes pick up in March with Al Horford missing quite a few games this month. Brown […]

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Set To Return Monday
Oklahoma City Thunder point/shooting guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (shoulder) has not been listed on the team's injury report ahead of Monday's contest versus the Timberwolves, an indication that he'll be a full-go. When healthy, Gilgeous-Alexander has been the engine that makes OKC's offense go, averaging 23.5 points and 6.0 assists per contest, all while shooting 50.9 […]
Al Horford Sidelined On Monday
Oklahoma City Thunder forward Al Horford (rest) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. This is Horford's fifth time sitting out over the last eight contests. Obviously, the Thunder don't want Horford to get injured with the trade deadline approaching. They have really no incentive to play him, so Horford won't […]
Luguentz Dort Out On Monday
Oklahoma City Thunder guard Luguentz Dort (toe) is listed as out for Monday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Dort dropped 23 points and helped pull off the win on Sunday. However, the team is going to sit him here due to "toe soreness", which basically means resting him against one of their tank competitors. Kenrich […]
Svi Mykhailiuk (SG/SF, OKC) - Week 13 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 1% of leagues ANALYSIS: It's been a slow build in the NBA for Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk, as is the case for many young players who got their start in European basketball. After he was selected in the second round of the 2018 NBA Draft from Kansas by the […]
Ty Jerome (PG/SG, OKC) - Week 13 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 3% of leagues ANALYSIS: George Hill nears his return to the OKC rotation while he recovers from an ankle injury, and yet at the same time, that moment realistically feels a moderate distance away. With rookie Theo Maledon left at the helm, the Thunder opted to bring […]

Moses Brown Notches Another Double-Double
Oklahoma City Thunder center Moses Brown produced his second double-double in three games in Sunday's win over the Rockets, recording 13 points and game-high 14 rebounds. He shot 5-for-8 from the field and 3-for-6 from the free-throw line. Houston has been crushed by centers all year, and they are struggling against bigs even with Christian […]

Oklahoma City Thunder guard/forward Luguentz Dort played a key role on both ends of the court in Sunday's 114-112 win over Houston, scoring a team-high 23 points and blocking John Wall's shot inside the final 10 seconds of play. He also had one steal on the defensive end, adding three rebounds and three assists in […]

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Ruled Out Sunday
Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (shoulder) has been ruled out for Sunday's contest against the Rockets. It will be Gilgeous-Alexander's eighth missed game of the season as he continues to deal with a sore shoulder. In his absence, guard Theo Maledon should see added assist opportunities, with Kenrich Williams also likely factoring in. Williams […]
Moses Brown (C, OKC): Week 13 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 37% of leagues ANALYSIS: After starting in back-to-back games on March 14 and 16, Moses Brown went back to ride the pine on Thursday night.

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Ty Jerome posted 18 points, one rebound, two assists, and one steal in 24 minutes off the bench during Thursday's loss to Atlanta.
