Levels out in starting role Williams racked up six points (3-7 FG, 0-1 3Pt), one rebound and two steals over 22 minutes during Tuesday's 116-108 win over the Magic.
Impact Williams moved into the starting lineup as the Thunder continue to tinker with who they want on the floor to open games. Having just returned from injury, it is unclear whether Williams will remain in the starting five or shift back to the bench. No matter his role, the upside is clear and the Thunder have no reason to hold him back, meaning he should be on a roster in most competitive formats.

Red hot start continues Tuesday Gilgeous-Alexander amassed 34 points (12-18 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 10-11 FT), four rebounds, six assists, two blocks and three steals in 33 minutes during Tuesday's 116-108 win over Orlando.
Impact Gilgeous-Alexander was up to his usual tricks once again Tuesday, continuing to put together the best stretch of his young career. He currently ranks as the best player in fantasy, no small feat when you consider the names he is ahead of. The constant threat of missed games is a real concern for managers, but SGA could be in the midst of a breakout campaign if he remains healthy.

Delivers multi-cat special in win Pokusevski supplied 16 points (7-13 FG, 2-5 3Pt), nine rebounds, one assist, three blocks and two steals across 31 minutes during Tuesday's 116-108 victory over Orlando.
Impact Pokusevski reminded everyone just what he is capable of, turning in easily his best performance of the season. He ended with season-high numbers across multiple categories including points, rebounds, blocks and minutes played. Projecting how much he is going to play from one night to the next is basically impossible. While he is worth a look in standard formats, don't be surprised if you are dropping him just as quickly as you picked him up.

Quiet in return Tuesday Giddey (ankle) chipped in seven points (3-12 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), one rebound, 10 assists, one block and one steal across 25 minutes during Tuesday's 116-108 victory over the Magi...
Impact Giddey was tentative in his return, posting a modest line when compared to his usual standards. His playing time should continue to climb over the next few games, as should his production. Of course, there's always a chance the Thunder opt to manage him by inserting a couple of rest days during particularly busy portions of their schedule, but that's not something managers can plan around at this stage.

Coming off bench Tuesday Pokusevski isn't in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game versus the Magic, Brandon Rahbar of DailyThunder.com reports.
Impact Pokusevski returns to the bench with Josh Giddey and Jalen Williams being inserted into the starting lineup Tuesday. Pokusevski started in Sunday's game against Dallas but managed to score only four points in 24 minutes.
NOVEMBER 1, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Coming off bench Mann will come off the bench Tuesday against the Magic, Brandon Rahbar of DailyThunder.com reports.
Impact With Josh Giddey back and Jalen Williams getting his first career start, Mann will come off the bench. He should still be a meaningful part of the rotation.
NOVEMBER 1, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Coming off bench Wiggins will come off the bench Tuesday against the Magic, Brandon Rahbar of DailyThunder.com reports.
Impact Rookie Jalen Williams is getting his first career start, and Josh Giddey is back, so Wiggins will resume a bench role. In his two bench appearances, he averaged 5.0 points, 4.0 rebounds and 1.0 assists in 20.5 minutes.
NOVEMBER 1, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Getting first career start Williams will make his first career start Tuesday against the Magic, Brandon Rahbar of DailyThunder.com reports.
Impact The Thunder are running a small lineup with Williams, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Josh Giddey, Luguentz Dort and Jeremiah Robinson-Earl. It'll be Williams' first career start, one game after he saw a career-high 27 minutes and posted 13 points, four steals, three assists, three rebounds and one block.
NOVEMBER 1, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Playing Tuesday Giddey (ankle) will play Tuesday against the Magic, Brandon Rahbar of DailyThunder.com reports.
Impact After three straight absences, Giddey is making his return. That will presumably mean fewer minutes for the likes of Jalen Williams and Aaron Wiggins.
NOVEMBER 1, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Upgraded to questionable Giddey (ankle) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Magic.
Impact While Giddey was previously ruled out for Tuesday's game, his participation in Monday's practice went well enough for him to have an opportunity to play against the Magic. If Giddey does play, Tre Mann and Jalen Williams should see a significant decrease in minutes compared to their workload Saturday.
