Olivier

Sarr

Sarr has missed Oklahoma City’s last three games, but his absence has not impacted fantasy basketball. He isn’t guaranteed rotation minutes when healthy.

Sarr’s continued absence won’t have an impact on fantasy basketball or the team’s rotation, since he doesn’t see the floor often when he is healthy.

Sarr will miss a second straight game with the hip flexor injury, but his absence will not impact fantasy basketball. Sarr isn’t in the rotation on most nights when he’s healthy.

Sarr isn’t part of their typical rotation, so his absence won’t impact fantasy basketball.

Both players missed their last game, but they will be available to play on Thursday. However, neither player is a large part of the rotation when healthy, so their return won’t impact fantasy basketball.

Sarr has only appeared in eight games this season, so his absence will not impact the Thunder rotation or fantasy basketball.

With Shai Gilgeous-Alexander sitting out Oklahoma City’s final exhibition of the preseason, there were more shots available to Williams. And he took advantage, leading all scorers with 20 points while taking on more responsibility as a playmaker. JDub finished last season ranked well within the top 100 in 9-cat per-game value, and a similar season is expected of the Rookie of the Year finalist. SGA was replaced in the starting lineup by reserve center Olivier Sarr, who finished with 10 points, six rebounds, one assist, and two blocks. Sarr is on a two-way contract, so he’ll likely get the majority of his minutes with the OKC Blue.

With Shai Gilgeous-Alexander out, Sarr will take his spot in the starting unit, which will give Mark Daigneault a look at a much taller lineup than they’ll usually use. Sarr won’t see many opportunities at big minutes during the regular season, but this is a good chance for him to earn a larger role.

The Thunder were busy on Monday, as they inked Sarr to another two-way deal and waived Usman Garuba. With Sarr’s deal, all three of Oklahoma City’s two-way slots have been filed, with Keyontae Johnson and Lindy Waters III being the others. None will significantly impact fantasy basketball next season.

In game 82 last season, the Thunder played six players the entire game and lost by 50 to the Clippers. In game 82 this season, they only played seven guys to rest their starters for the play-in tournament. What a turnaround it has been for the Thunder, as they finished their regular season with a win on the back of Mann, who recorded the first triple-double of his career. Four players scored at least 20 points in this game. Jared Butler led the way with 25 points and five 3-pointers. Olivier Sarr added 22 points and 15 rebounds. Ousmane Dieng stuffed the stat sheet with 22 points, eight rebounds and nine assists. None of these guys will play much in their play-in matchup with the Pelicans next week, but they were able to put up big numbers in this one.
