Oklahoma City Thunder small forward Darius Bazley (left shoulder contusion) will not play Thursday versus the Dallas Mavericks.
Bazley will miss his first game of the season following a late addition to the injury report. Bazley took a hard fall at practice and will be re-evaluated through the weekend, per head coach Mark Daigneault. Hamidou Diallo (groin) is still out, so Aleksej Pokusevski may earn immediate minutes after being recalled from the G-League. Isaiah Roby should be more involved and could even draw the start next to Al Horford.
Roby has a salary of $4,800 and is one of numberFire's top-five value plays at the power forward position on the 11-game slate. Our models project Roby for 27.9 FanDuel points on Thursday versus the Mavericks.
