Luguentz Dort Stats

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Luguentz Dort (knee, rest) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. He is reportedly dealing with a "knee" injury, but that is just OKC wanting to tank for draft position. Dort has made huge strides this season and the fact Oklahoma City must bench him in order to lose is saying something. Ty Jerome and Theo Maledon will see extra minutes during the regular season finale. Dort has played his way into an increased role in OKC next season.

Oklahoma City Thunder point/shooting guard Luguentz Dort (knee) and point guard Ty Jerome (calf) have been deemed unavailable to suit up for Sunday's contest against the Kings. Injuries have decimated OKC's backcourt for the vast majority of the season, with the team potentially in dire straits at PG if Theo Maledon (foot) is held out. Without Dort or Jerome, Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk and Kenrich Williams are in line to continue seeing significant run. The Thunder have kept Dort's minutes total below the 30-minute mark for each of the last three games, making him a finicky DFS asset even if he is cleared to suit up over the final week.

Oklahoma City Thunder point/shooting guard Luguentz Dort (hip) and small forward Aleksej Pokusevski (knee) have both been ruled out for Saturday's contest against Indiana. Dort is coming off a tremendous month of April in which he averaged 24.4 points and 5.3 rebounds per game, while shooting 46.3 percent from behind the arc over a seven-game stretch. Pokusevski has continued to see a sizable workload despite his concerning shooting metrics, which sit at 32.3 overall on the year, including 26.1 from deep. Theo Maledon and Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk stand to see elevated workloads in the backcourt without Dort, while Gabriel Deck and Kenrich Williams could get larger minutes totals without Pokusevski in the mix.

Oklahoma City Thunder forward Luguentz Dort finished with 24 points, four rebounds, two assists, and one block in 35 minutes during Tuesday's win over the Celtics. Dort has been fantastic recently, posting at least 24 points in four of the past five games and at least 26 points in three of the past five games. The 22-year-old may be averaging 14 points per game this season, but his recent consistency certainly puts him on the fantasy radar. He has a great chance for a solid performance on Thursday against a bottom-five Pelicans defense.
