Dort racked up 14 points (5-9 FG, 4-6 3Pt), five rebounds and one block in 22 minutes during Wednesday's 119-109 loss to the Celtics.
Dort didn't stand out for the Thunder, but his three-point shooting was worth highlighting. Even though he's going to take on a secondary role offensively every night, Dort could still generate value as a spot-up shooter from three-point range. Dort has drained two or more threes in five of his last eight games, although he's been far from efficient with a 29.8 percent mark in that span.

Rotowire

Thunder's Luguentz Dort: Dealing with left knee injury
Rotowire
Dort has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Wizards due to a left knee contusion.
Dort was originally slated to play Saturday after being held out of Wednesday's win against the Nets due to rest purposes. It's unclear when the seventh-year pro sustained his left knee injury, but his absence means Cason Wallace will likely start in a second straight game. Dort's next chance to play is Monday against the 76ers.

Thunder's Luguentz Dort: Not listed on injury report
Rotowire
Dort (rest) is not listed on the injury report ahead of Saturday's game against the Wizards.
Dort skipped Wednesday's win over Brooklyn for rest purposes, but he'll be back in action Saturday, which will likely result in Ajay Mitchell or Cason Wallace heading back to the second unit. Dort is averaging 8.5 points, 3.8 rebounds and 1.8 triples per game this season.

Thunder's Luguentz Dort: Resting Wednesday
Rotowire
The Thunder list Dort out for Wednesday's game against the Nets for rest purposes.
Dort will get a night off after logging 19 minutes Tuesday in the Thunder's 113-108 win over the Magic. Alex Caruso, Cason Wallace, Isaiah Joe and Jared McCain could all absorb some of Dort's vacated minutes.

Thunder's Luguentz Dort: Pedestrian line in narrow win
Rotowire
Dort racked up six points (2-8 FG, 2-8 3Pt), six rebounds and one assist in 29 minutes during Thursday's 104-102 victory over Boston.
Dort struggled with his shot, missing six of his eight attempts from deep, but he managed to contribute as a rebounder to help the Thunder secure a narrow win over the Celtics. While his offensive consistency remains a major question mark, Dort has been a permanent fixture in the starting five, averaging 30.0 minutes per game over his last 10 appearances. During this recent stretch, his scoring has been modest, averaging 8.3 points per game on just 31.5 percent shooting. Despite the lack of high-volume scoring, Dort's primary value to the Thunder lies in his perimeter defense, which keeps his minutes floor secure.

Thunder's Luguentz Dort: Ejected Friday
Rotowire
Dort was assessed a Flagrant 2 foul and ejected in the fourth quarter of Friday's game against the Nuggets, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports. He'll finish with eight points (3-7 FG, 2-6 3Pt), six rebounds, one assist and one steal across 28 minutes.
The swingman was ejected after making unnecessary and excessive contact with Nikola Jokic, as Dort tripped the three-time MVP. With Dort unavailable, Alex Caruso and Jared McCain will likely help pick up the slack the rest of the way.

Thunder's Luguentz Dort: Notches 12 points
Rotowire
Dort ended with 12 points (5-11 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 0-2 FT), three rebounds, two assists and two steals in 35 minutes during Sunday's 121-113 victory over the Cavaliers.
Despite sizable workloads, Dort continues to leave a lot to be desired in fantasy hoops. Over his last five outings, Dort has seen 29.0 minutes per contest, but he ranks outside the top-200 in nine-category formats in that span with 9.4 points, 2.4 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 1.6 three-pointers.

Thunder's Luguentz Dort: Another pedestrian showing
Rotowire
Dort had nine points (4-6 FG, 1-3 3Pt) and one assist across 24 minutes during Wednesday's 136-109 win over the Suns.
Although Dort remains a regular member of the starting lineup, he's having a hard time providing much fantasy value. The veteran swingman has scored in single digits in five of his last six games, during which Dort is averaging just 7.8 points, 3.3 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.7 three-pointers in 28.3 minutes per contest.

Thunder's Luguentz Dort: Ruled out Wednesday
Rotowire
Dort (knee) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Spurs.
Dort is dealing with right knee inflammation and will be held out of the second leg of this back-to-back set. The Thunder will have only eight players available against the Spurs, so Aaron Wiggins, Cason Wallace and Isaiah Joe should see significant workloads. Dort's next opportunity to play will come Saturday against Houston.

Thunder's Luguentz Dort: Hits for 18 in Tuesday's win
Rotowire
Dort posted 18 points (6-8 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, one assist and two steals over 31 minutes during Tuesday's 128-92 win over Orlando.
Offensive consistency continues to elude Dort, but he's starting to put together ceiling games a little more often. The 26-year-old forward has drained at least three three-pointers in six of the last 10 games, averaging 10.8 points, 4.8 boards, 2.6 threes, 1.7 assists and 0.8 steals over that stretch while shooting 47.3 percent from beyond the arc.

Thunder's Luguentz Dort: Puts up well-rounded line
Rotowire
Dort posted 12 points (4-12 FG, 4-9 3Pt), eight rebounds, three assists and one steal in 34 minutes during Tuesday's 104-95 win over New Orleans.
Dort turned in a relatively well-rounded line in Tuesday's win, though his production was somewhat marred by his involvement in a brief shoving match with New Orleans' Jeremiah Fears following the contest that required both players to be separated. Neither player threw a punch in the altercation, so Dort may be able to avoid any sort of suspension from the league before the Thunder's next game Thursday in Minnesota.

Thunder's Luguentz Dort: Fares well in win
Rotowire
Dort chipped in 18 points (6-7 FG, 5-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five rebounds, three assists and one steal across 33 minutes during Monday's 136-104 win over the Cavaliers.
This was a strong showing for Dort, and it could be a sign of things to come with the team so shorthanded -- Jalen Williams (hamstring) is expected to miss at least a couple of weeks. Dort has not been very reliable as a fantasy asset this season, but he does have a nice little window to put up some streaming value.

Rotowire
Dort (foot) is available for Thursday's game in Houston, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.
Dort is back after a one-game stint on the sidelines, which could result in Aaron Wiggins heading back to the second unit, and there will be fewer minutes available for Ajay Mitchell. Dort is averaging 8.2 points and 3.7 rebounds per game this season.

Thunder's Luguentz Dort: Questionable for Thursday
Rotowire
Dort is questionable for Thursday's game against Houston with left foot soreness.
Dort is at risk of missing consecutive contests due to the issue. Aaron Wiggins stepped into the starting lineup for Tuesday's win over the Spurs in Dort's stead. Ajay Mitchell would also have an opportunity to claim a more sizable role if Dort remains out.

Thunder's Luguentz Dort: Won't play Tuesday
Rotowire
Dort (foot) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against San Antonio.
Dort was a late addition to the injury report due to a sore left foot, and the issue will prevent him from facing the Spurs on Tuesday night. Dort's next chance to play will come Thursday against Houston. In the meantime, look for Ajay Mitchell and Aaron Wiggins to pick up the slack

Thunder's Luguentz Dort: Added to injury report
Rotowire
Dort is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Spurs due to left foot soreness.
The Thunder are listing Dort as a late addition to the injury report, which bodes poorly for the swingman's chances of playing. If Dort cannot suit up, Ajay Mitchell and Aaron Wiggins stand out as the most likely candidates to replace him in the starting lineup Tuesday.

Thunder's Luguentz Dort: Inefficient 13 points in loss
Rotowire
Dort finished with 13 points (5-13 FG, 3-9 3Pt), four rebounds and one steal across 27 minutes during Sunday's 108-105 loss to the Suns.
Dort remains an important part of the Thunder's lineup for his defense, but his impact continues to be felt more in real life than in fantasy. Over his last 12 outings, Dort has averaged 8.9 points, 3.0 rebounds, 0.9 assists and 2.4 three-pointers in 24.9 minutes per game.

Thunder's Luguentz Dort: Well-rounded performance in victory
Rotowire
Dort logged 13 points (5-9 FG, 3-6 3Pt), four rebounds, three blocks and three steals across 30 minutes during Monday's 119-103 win over the Grizzlies.
After shooting just 16.9 percent from the field in his previous three appearances, Dort bounced back in a major way. The 26-year-old swingman knocked down three triples for the third time in his last five games and finished as one of six Oklahoma City players to score in double figures. Additionally, he led all players in blocks, setting a season high in swats while also tying his season-best mark in steals. He shouldn't be expected to score in double figures on a regular basis when the team is at full strength, though he remains a viable streaming candidate when injuries arise.
Dort contributed zero points (0-6 FG, 0-5 3Pt), one rebound and one assist in 18 minutes during Thursday's 122-101 win over the Clippers.
One game after managing only three points on 1-for-7 shooting, Dort was completely blanked by a Clippers defense that let the rest of the Thunder lineup shoot 50.5 percent from the floor. The 26-year-old forward may still be feeling the effects of an adductor strain that cost him the first three games in December, but he's had a rough start to the season overall on the injury front. Dort's been able to suit up for only 18 of OKC's first 27 games, averaging just 7.5 points, 3.7 boards, 1.6 threes, 1.2 assists and 1.2 combined steals and blocks in 27.7 minutes while shooting what would be a career-low 35.9 percent.
