Erupts for 35 in Friday's rout Wiggins finished with a game-high 35 points (14-24 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 3-4 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and two steals over 34 minutes during Friday's 145-111 victory over the Jazz.

Impact With most of the Thunder's usual starters getting the night off ahead of the playoffs, Wiggins made his second straight start and turned the opportunity into his third performance of the season with 30 or more points. The 26-year-old forward might get one more start in OKC's regular-season finale Sunday against the Pelicans, which would make him an intriguing DFS option given that he's averaged 26.0 points, 6.0 boards, 2.5 assist, 2.5 threes and 1.5 steals over his first two starts this week.

Modest numbers in return Wiggins (hamstring) finished with eight points (2-6 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and three rebounds in 19 minutes Friday in the Thunder's 125-111 loss to the Rockets.

Impact Wiggins was back in action after missing the Thunder's previous five contests due to right hamstring tendinopathy, but his return wasn't enough for the Thunder to extend their 11-game winning streak. The 26-year-old forward could see his playing time pick up if the Thunder hold out other key rotation players out for certain games over the final week of the regular season, but he may struggle to crack 20 minutes when Oklahoma City has all of its core pieces available.
