Lu Dort (shoulder) remaining out Thursday for Oklahoma City
Oklahoma City Thunder shooting guard Lu Dort (shoulder) will not play on Thursday against the Phoenix Suns.
What It Means:
Dort will pick up a third consecutive absence as he remains sidelined coming out of the All-Star break. Ty Jerome (hip) and Kenrich Williams (knee) are also still sidelined, but the Thunder will welcome back Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (ankle) on Thursday. Josh Giddey and Aaron Wiggins could see more opportunities in Dort's absence.
numberFire’s models project Wiggins for 32.3 minutes and 22.6 FanDuel points, and he has a $3,500 salary on Thursday’s seven-game slate. Wiggins is currently the fourth-best point-per-dollar value on our board.
