Oklahoma City Thunder News and Rumors Page 7 - NBA

Adam Flagler - Makes return Thursday Flagler (finger) played the final 7:03 of Thursday's 134-114 win over the Cavaliers, recording zero points (0-9 FG, 0-8 3Pt) and one block.

Impact Flagler was back in action for Oklahoma City after he had been sidelined since late November with a broken finger on his hand. The two-way player checked into the contest with the Thunder holding down a 32-point lead, and the poor shooting performance is unlikely to help his case for earning playing time in more competitive situations moving forward. If minutes remain hard to come by at the NBA level, Flagler could end up seeing extended playing time in the G League with the Oklahoma City Blue.

Jaylin Williams - Muted impact sans Hartenstein Williams recorded five points (2-6 FG, 1-5 3Pt), five rebounds and one assist across 14 minutes during Thursday's 134-114 victory over Cleveland.

Impact Making his first start of the season for the Thunder in Isaiah Hartenstein's (calf) stead, Williams logged only 14 minutes and was unable to make a big impact in the box score Thursday. Williams appears likely to split minutes with Branden Carlson as a traditional center in the interim, meaning the former could have a hard time finding increased fantasy value. The Thunder experimented with Jalen Williams as a small-ball five in their deep rotation earlier this season when they were without Hartenstein as well, and it doesn't appear initially as though there will be direct beneficiary of the latter's absence.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander - Fifth 40-point effort of season Gilgeous-Alexander produced a game-high 40 points (17-26 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 5-5 FT), three rebounds, eight assists and two steals over 29 minutes during Thursday's 134-114 win over the C...

Impact It was Gilgeous-Alexander's fifth game of his MVP-caliber campaign where he scored at least 40 points, and he also handed out a team-high eight assists in just 29 minutes against a tough Cavaliers defense Thursday. The superstar guard has been spectacular all season long, and he's averaging 33.9 points, 5.7 assists, 4.8 rebounds, 2.2 steals, 1.1 blocks and 1.6 threes across his last 10 contests. As long as running mate Chet Holmgren (hip) sits on the shelf, Gilgeous-Alexander should continue producing at an even higher level than he normally does.

Luguentz Dort - Erupts for season-high 22 points Dort notched 22 points (8-11 FG, 6-9 3Pt), two rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal in 20 minutes during Thursday's 134-114 victory over Cleveland.

Impact Dort caught fire from long distance Thursday, nailing a season-high six threes en route to his highest scoring output of the season. While Dort has started in each of his 39 appearances for the Thunder, his role as a strict three-and-D presence has limited him to averages of 11.3 points, 3.3 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 1.0 steals and 2.9 threes over his last nine outings. However, the veteran swingman is shooting a blistering 51.0 percent from deep during this period, so Dort at least remains a decent source of triples and swipes for fantasy purposes.
