Wallace (knee) will play in Sunday's game against Phoenix.
Wallace sustained a knee contusion in Friday's win over Golden State, but the injury won't force him to miss any time. The third-year guard has been cleared to face the Suns in Phoenix, where he'll look to make his fourth consecutive start due to Isaiah Hartenstein (calf) being sidelined.

Rotowire
Wallace (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Suns.
Wallace exited Friday's win over the Warriors with a right knee contusion and didn't return, and he's being listed as questionable for Sunday's contest due to right knee soreness.

Thunder's Cason Wallace: Season-high 17 points in start
Rotowire
Wallace totaled 17 points (6-8 FG, 5-6 3Pt), seven rebounds, three assists, one block and two steals across 34 minutes during Monday's 140-129 victory over the Hawks.

Thunder's Cason Wallace: Bottoms out in loss
Rotowire
Wallace had four points (2-6 FG, 0-4 3Pt) and two rebounds over 25 minutes during Tuesday's 130-110 loss to the Spurs.

Rotowire
Wallace chipped in seven points (3-10 FG, 1-4 3Pt), two rebounds, four assists and three steals over 28 minutes during Monday's 126-109 win over the Pelicans.
Wallace tallied multiple steals for the fourth time in the past five games, continuing his modest yet serviceable start to the season.

While he should be rostered in most formats, his overall value is largely reliant on his steal numbers, meaning he is better suited to specific builds.

Rotowire

Despite the subpar production, it appears as though Wallace is locked in as a starter, typically playing at least 30 minutes per game. His overall value is largely reliant on his defensive prowess, something he delivers with relative consistency.
