In starting lineup Friday Sarr will start Friday's game against the Heat, Joe Mussatto of The Oklahoman reports.
Impact Sarr will make his second start of the season Friday as Isaiah Roby shifts to the bench. He's averaging 4.8 points and 3.5 rebounds in 15.2 minutes per game this season.

Starting Friday Pokusevski will start Friday's game against the Heat, Joe Mussatto of The Oklahoman reports.
Impact Pokusevski will rejoin the starting unit Friday as Tre Mann shifts to a bench role. He's averaging 6.9 points, 4.8 rebounds and 1.5 assists in 18.3 minutes per game this season.
MARCH 18, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Shifts to bench Friday Mann will come off the bench for Friday's game against the Heat, Joe Mussatto of The Oklahoman reports.
Impact Mann is set to come off the bench for the first time since Feb. 24 as Aleksej Pokusevski replaces him in the starting five Friday. The 20-year-old is averaging 9.4 points, 2.6 rebounds and 1.5 assists across 22.0 minutes per game this season.
MARCH 18, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Out at least another week Coach Mark Daigneault said Friday that Giddey (hip) will be re-evaluated at the end of next week, Nick Crain of SI.com reports.
Impact Giddey has been sidelined since Feb. 25 due to his hip injury, and he'll be forced to miss at least another week. The rookie showed promise to begin the year by averaging 12.5 points, 7.8 rebounds and 6.4 assists in 31.5 minutes per game across 54 appearances, but he might not return to the court in time to provide much value for the tail end of the fantasy playoffs.
MARCH 18, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Available Friday Gilgeous-Alexander (ankle) is available for Friday's game against Miami, Joe Mussatto of The Oklahoman reports.
Impact Gilgeous-Alexander is good to go for Friday's tilt with the Heat despite coming into Friday with a sore right ankle. He's averaging 24.3 points, 5.9 assists, 5.0 rebounds and 1.3 steals across 34.7 minutes per game this season.

Out Friday Williams (knee) is out Friday against the Heat.
Impact Williams last played on Valentine's Day and has since been out due to a left ankle sprain. The Thunder are presumably in no rush to get him back.
MARCH 17, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Out Friday Favors (back) is out Friday against the Heat.
Impact Favors last played Feb. 24 and has since been out with back soreness. It's not clear when the veteran may return.
MARCH 17, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Questionable at Miami Gilgeous-Alexander (ankle) is questionable for Friday's game against the Heat.
Impact Gilgeous-Alexander played through the issue Wednesday against the Spurs to post 34 points, eight assists, six rebounds, three steals and one block in 35 minutes. If he sits out, more minutes will be in store for Tre Mann, Theo Maledon and Lindy Waters.

Oklahoma City faces Miami on 7-game slide
Oklahoma City enters the matchup with Miami after losing seven games in a rowMARCH 17, 2022 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Back in starting lineup Wednesday Roby ended Wednesday's 122-120 loss to the Spurs with 10 points (2-3 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 5-6 FT) and three rebounds across 14 minutes.
Impact Roby was back as a member of the starting lineup Wednesday but logged just 14 minutes. After blowing up for a period earlier in the month, Roby has gone back to being a wildly inconsistent producer. Over the past five games, his playing time is all over the place, ranging from 10 minutes all the way up to 36 minutes. With many now fighting it out in their fantasy playoffs, Roby is just too hard to trust as a reliable source of production.
MARCH 17, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Scores two points in return Wiggins amassed two points (1-7 FG, 0-3 3Pt), two rebounds and one assist in 26 minutes during Wednesday's 122-120 loss to the Spurs.
Impact Wiggins was back in the starting lineup after missing two straight games as a result of an illness, although you would not know it to look at the scoresheet. As Wiggins was coming off a career-high 25 points in his previous game, this was certainly a bad night for anyone who took a chance on the rookie. He will obviously be much better than this on most nights, and despite the constant roster changes, he does appear to have a somewhat steady role, making him worth a look in deeper formats.
MARCH 17, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Flirts with double-double in loss Bazley accumulated 25 points (9-16 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 3-4 FT), nine rebounds, one assist and one steal in 33 minutes during Wednesday's 122-120 loss to the Spurs.
Impact Bazley ended the night scoring at least 25 points for the third straight game, the first time he has achieved such a feat this season. He has also now shot at least 55 percent from the field in four consecutive contests, an element of his game that is typically a negative. Unlike many of his teammates, Bazley does have a consistent role, making him one of the more trustworthy Thunder players when it comes to fantasy value.
