Impact After being sent down to the G League, Mann made his presence felt immediately, finishing as the leading scorer. However, his stellar performance wasn't enough to lead the Blue to victory in a gritty loss to the Mad Ants.

Strong double-double in loss Giddey logged 20 points (9-15 FG, 2-3 3Pt), 10 rebounds, six assists, one block and one steal across 34 minutes during Friday's 128-125 overtime loss to New Orleans.
Impact Giddey was extremely efficient as a scorer but also filled the stat sheet admirably, contributing in each of the five major categories and ending just six assists shy from posting a triple-double. He's on an impressive run of late and has scored in double digits in 10 games in a row, averaging 15.6 points, 9.9 rebounds, 5.5 assists and 1.0 steals per game in that span.

Stuffs stat sheet Friday Pokusevski accumulated 17 points (7-11 FG, 3-5 3Pt), six rebounds, three assists, one block and four steals across 32 minutes during Friday's 128-125 overtime loss to New Orleans.
Impact Pokusevski has carved a regular starting role with the Thunder and has logged at least 20 minutes on a consistent basis, but the production hasn't always matched the on-court time. This was the first time he scored more than 15 points since Dec. 10, and even though he can produce on any given game, he's not doing enough to remain valuable in most fantasy formats.

Impact Gilgeous-Alexander continues to have an impressive season that has them as one of the best players in fantasy regardless of the format, showing a high floor and the ability to fill the stat sheet on a regular basis, but he also manages to explode on any given game. He's scored 25-plus points in each of his last 15 appearances, but he's also scored at least 35 points in four of his last six. He's averaging 32.1 points, 5.5 assists, 5.1 rebounds and 1.6 steals per game in that 15-game span.

Impact Williams failed to clear concussion protocols ahead of Friday's game and will remain out. He's appeared in just seven games this season, so his absence shouldn't have much impact on the Thunder's rotation. His next chance to play comes Tuesday against the Spurs.
