Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Luguentz Dort, Isaiah Joe, Jalen Williams, and Chet Holmgren will start Thursday’s game against the Nuggets.
Recently removed from the injury report after suffering a sprained ankle, Williams is in the starting lineup for Thursday’s season opener. The other notable starter is Joe, who receives the nod with Isaiah Hartenstein (hand) sidelined. Alex Caruso, acquired from the Bulls this summer, will figure prominently off the bench, but that role limits his fantasy potential.
