Impact Roby is still nursing a right ankle sprain, but he dropped out of the rotation several weeks ago, so his absence won't carry any major fantasy ramifications.

Narrowly misses double-double Pokusevski closed with 12 points (5-9 FG, 2-5 3Pt), nine rebounds and three assists over 26 minutes during Saturday's 113-103 loss to the Kings.
Impact Pokusevski returned from a 12-game absence that was primarily spent in the G League to record a season-best mark in scoring. The big man also tied season highs with nine boards and three dimes. Pokusevski could earn more opportunities moving forward with the Thunder unlikely to compete for a play-in tournament spot.

Registers career-best scoring total Giddey supplied 24 points (10-19 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 3-5 FT), four rebounds and eight assists in 38 minutes during Saturday's 113-103 loss to Sacramento.
Impact Giddey led Oklahoma City in scoring in the contest, posting a career-best point total in the process. The rookie also led the team in assists. Giddey has emerged as an exciting multi-category asset in fantasy, as he is averaging 12.0 points, 7.5 boards, 6.1 dimes and 1.0 seals across 47 games this season.

Will play Saturday Favors will play Saturday against the Kings, Brandon Rahbar of DailyThunder.com reports.
Impact Favors didn't play in the past two games, but he'll re-enter the rotation for the shorthanded Thunder. In his past eight appearances, he's averaged 3.0 points, 3.9 rebounds and 1.0 assists in 14.9 minutes.

Will play Saturday Pokusevski will be in the rotation Saturday against the Kings, Rylan Stiles of BricktownBuckets.com reports.
Impact Pokusevski hasn't seen action since Jan. 9, but he'll be in the rotation with Luguentz Dort (face) sidelined. In Pokusevski's 36 appearances this season, he's averaged 4.6 points, 4.0 rebounds and 1.1 assists in 15.1 minutes.

Scores 16 with seven boards Giddey totaled 16 points (7-15 FG, 2-6 3Pt), seven rebounds, three assists and one steal in 36 minutes during Friday's 96-93 victory over the Trail Blazers.
Impact Giddey helped propel the Thunder to a third straight victory and scored in double figures for the fourth straight game. With Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (ankle) sidelined, Giddey has emerged as OKC's primary initiator, and he holds averages of 14.8 points, 9.0 rebounds, 5.5 assists and 1.0 steals over the last four contests. He does have 16 turnovers during that span, however.

Scores 11 off bench Jerome finished Friday's 96-93 win over the Trail Blazers with 11 points (3-8 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds and eight assists over 23 minutes.
Impact Jerome continues to play a consistent role as the first point guard off the bench. With Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (ankle) sidelined through at least the All-Star break, Jerome's workload should be secure for the time being. Over his last 12 games, the Virginia product is posting 7.8 points, 3.0 assists, 1.4 rebounds and 1.5 threes, so he remains a non-factor in most fantasy leagues.

Big game in win over Portland Diakite logged 12 points (4-8 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and three blocks across 30 minutes during Friday's 96-93 win over the Trail Blazers.
Impact This was easily the best game of Diakite's brief NBA career, which began with the Bucks last season before he was picked up by the Thunder in mid-January. Diakite is still on a 10-day deal -- his third with OKC -- so he may not have much security, but if the Thunder opt to sign him for the remainder of the season, he could emerge as an out-of-nowhere fantasy option on a team with its sights set on another high lottery pick. Oklahoma City doesn't have a ton of appealing options at center, and that's especially true with Jeremiah Robinson-Earl (foot) set to miss at least the next six weeks.

Could face multi-game absence Thunder head coach Mark Daigneault said Friday that Wiggins' sprained right ankle is more than a day-to-day concern, Joe Mussatto of The Oklahoman reports.
Impact Oklahoma City already lists Wiggins as out ahead of Friday's game in Portland, and based on Daignault's comments, the rookie looks like he'll be sidelined for the second half of the back-to-back set Saturday in Sacramento and perhaps the entirety of the Thunder's upcoming four-game week. After being dropped from the rotation Jan. 28 against Indiana, Wiggins had played 24 and 28 minutes, respectively, in Oklahoma City's last two contests. The Thunder will likely turn to a combination of Darius Bazley, Kenrich Williams and Tre Mann to absorb most of Wiggins' minutes.
