Puts up 13-7-6 in loss Simpson closed with 13 points (5-15 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 3-3 FT), six rebounds, seven assists and one block across 47 minutes before fouling out of Friday's 120-101 loss to the Lakers.
Impact The Thunder once again employed a bizarre rotation, using only six players -- five of whom saw at least 43 minutes of action. Simpson led the way at 47 minutes and set new career bests in points, rebounds and assists. The rare point guard who relies heavily on a hook shot, Simpson is a unique young prospect, but he'll likely have trouble securing a full-time roster spot in 2022-23.

Battles foul trouble in loss Roby notched 14 points (5-7 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-3 FT), four rebounds and two assists over 14 minutes during Friday's 120-101 loss to the Lakers.
Impact Roby was one of only six players the Thunder used in this game, but for the second straight contest he was limited by early foul trouble. Roby still managed to put up a respectable stat line, given the circumstances, but had he been able to avoid fouling, he likely would have been positioned for a substantially larger workload. Roby should be in line for one final start as the Thunder wrap up the season Sunday at the Clippers.
APRIL 9, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Scores 25 in 45 minutes Kalaitzakis provided 25 points (10-19 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 3-5 FT), four rebounds, six assists and three steals across 45 minutes during Friday's 120-101 loss to the Lakers.
Impact The Thunder only used six players, and with Isaiah Roby picking up five fouls in 14 minutes, it was essentially a five-man rotation for much of the night. Kalaitzakis was one of five players who saw at least 43 minutes of action. His final stat line was far and away the best of his career. Prior to this week, he'd never played more than 13 minutes in an NBA game. He'll likely see big minutes again in Sunday's regular-season finale against the Clippers.
APRIL 9, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Goes off for 27 and 17 Hoard finished with 27 points (13-23 FG, 1-4 3Pt), 17 rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal over 47 minutes during Friday's 120-101 loss to the Lakers.
Impact The Thunder continue to give some lesser-known players extended looks down the stretch, and Friday's game was no exception, as OKC used only six players -- five of whom played 43 minutes or more. Hoard took advantage and posted his third straight 20-plus-point effort. Over his last three games, the Wake Forest product is averaging 24.7 points, 14.3 boards, 3.3 assists, 1.7 steals and 2.3 threes.

Impact Mann will sit for the seventh straight game as the Thunder continue to set a new standard for tanking down the stretch. Mann will almost certainly remain sidelined for the regular-season finale Sunday against the Clippers.

Two straight DNP-CDs Pokusevski did not see the floor in either of the Thunder's last two games Tuesday against Portland or Wednesday against Utah.
Impact Oklahoma City has taken tanking to another level over the final week of the season, as players like Pokusevski, Theo Maledon and Aaron Wiggins have inexplicably picked up DNP-CDs in two straight games. It's very much unclear if that will continue over the team's final two contests, but DFS managers should tread lightly when it comes to the Thunder, as the rotation is liable to change on a whim.

Notches 11 assists in loss Simpson posted four points (2-10 FG, 0-1 3Pt), three rebounds, 11 assists and three steals in 39 minutes during Wednesday's 137-101 loss to the Jazz.
Impact Simpson logged 39 minutes in his second NBA game after playing 44 minutes in his NBA debut one day prior. He shot poorly Wednesday but thrived as a producer, dishing a game-high 11 assists. Oklahoma City has been ravaged by injuries and has shut down multiple players, so Simpson should continue to see substantial opportunity over the team's final two games of the campaign.

Paces Thunder with 23 points Hoard notched 23 points (8-17 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 2-3 FT), five rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal in 36 minutes during Wednesday's 137-101 loss to Utah.
Impact On the heels of his massive 24-point, 21-rebound performance against Portland on Tuesday, Hoard put up big numbers again with a team-leading 23 points against Utah in the second game of the back-to-back set. The Wake Forest product logged his third start in four games for the injury-ravaged Thunder. Hoard figures to get plenty of opportunity to produce over the final days of the regular season given the Thunder's injury woes.
