Ousmane

Dieng

Dieng, who will miss a third consecutive game with a calf injury, was not in the Thunder rotation when healthy. His continued absence will not impact fantasy basketball.

Dieng will remain out for a second consecutive game, but his absence does not impact fantasy basketball. The Thunder should have enough to account for Dieng not being available.

Dieng exited early from Saturday’s game against Detroit, and the same calf injury will force him to miss Sunday’s game against Milwaukee. OKC will lose some wing depth, and his minutes will be absorbed by Alex Caruso, Isaiah Joe and Aaron Wiggins.

Dieng suffered a strained left calf during the first half of Saturday’s game and will not return. His absence means the Thunder lose some depth off the bench, but it will not impact fantasy basketball.

The Thunder are without multiple rotation players due to either injury or rest. As a result, this quintet will start together for the first time this season. Wiggins and Joe offer the highest ceilings, but both Williamses (Kenrich and Jaylin) are also worth a look in deep leagues.

Dieng has been upgraded from questionable to available. With Chet Holmgren (ankle) out, there may be room on the back end of the Thunder rotation for Dieng to play. However, that isn’t enough to make him worth the risk in fantasy leagues.

Dieng has missed Oklahoma City’s last four games, but his availability does not significantly impact the team’s rotation. Chet Holmgren (ankle) being out may free up a few minutes, but Jaylin Williams and Kenrich Williams are ahead of Dieng in the pecking order.

Dieng missed Oklahoma City’s last five games before the All-Star break with a strained right soleus muscle. While his presence means the Thunder will have another option in the frontcourt, Chet Holmgren, Isaiah Hartenstein, and Jaylin Williams being available means Dieng is unlikely to be in the regular rotation.

Dieng hasn’t recovered from his strained right soleus muscle to play. He doesn’t play enough to affect fantasy basketball, so OKC’s rotations should largely remain the same when it comes to the forwards.

The rest of Oklahoma City’s injury report is pretty clear, so the absences of Wallace and Dieng shouldn’t cause major ripples across OKC’s depth chart or any hard decisions for fantasy managers.
