Impact With rookie Jalen Williams finishing with just one point on 0-for-9 shooting from the field, Dort stepped up to provide the Thunder with a third scoring option behind star guards Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Josh Giddey, who paced the team with 28 points apiece. Though Dort's excellent shooting performance was a welcome development, it's probably safe to view it as an outlier, given that he had converted at a 39.3 percent rate from the field over his first seven games of January. With Williams having taken on more responsibilities on the offensive end of late, Dort's fantasy value appears to be slipping, as he typically offers little in other categories when his three-point shots aren't falling. He owns modest averages of 4.2 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 1.0 steals and 0.3 blocks per game for the season.
