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.

Thunder's Luguentz Dort: Available to play
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: Muted performance in win
Rotowire
Dort ended with three points (1-2 FG, 1-2 3Pt), one rebound and one block across 23 minutes during Sunday's 129-104 win over the 76ers.
With so much competition for touches and minutes in Oklahoma City, Dort has found it tough to make much of a fantasy impact. Across 23 appearances this season, Dort has hit 37.6 percent of his shots for averages of 8.0 points, 3.5 rebounds, 1.1 assists and 1.8 three-pointers.

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.

Thunder's Luguentz Dort: Hits three triples in win
Rotowire
Dort had 12 points (4-8 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds and one assist over 22 minutes during Wednesday's 138-89 victory over the Suns.
Dort returned from a three-game absence due to an adductor injury and didn't miss a beat, hitting three three-pointers and scoring 12 points. While he did not record any defensive stats, just the fourth instance of the season for him, Dort's defensive presence was certainly felt as he contributed to a suffocating Thunder effort that held Phoenix to just 89 points.

Thunder's Luguentz Dort: Absent from injury report
Rotowire
Dort (adductor) is not listed on the injury report for Wednesday's game against the Suns.
A right adductor strain cost Dort three straight games, but his omission from the injury report puts him in a position to return Wednesday. The expectation is that the 26-year-old will rejoin the starting lineup, which would likely send Jaylin Williams to the second unit. For the campaign, Dort has averaged 8.0 points, 3.9 rebounds, 1.1 assists and 1.0 steals in 29.1 minutes per game over 15 regular-season outings.

Dort (thigh) won't play Friday versus the Mavericks, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.

Thunder's Luguentz Dort: Limited to 20 minutes
Rotowire
Dort produced five points (2-6 FG, 1-5 3Pt), four rebounds and one steal across 20 minutes during Sunday's 122-95 victory over the Trail Blazers.
Dort has now been limited to 21 minutes in back-to-back games for the Thunder. With the emergence of Ajay Mitchell this season, Dort's minutes could be a little more volatile than in previous years. Things could really get crowded when the Thunder eventually get Jalen Williams (wrist) back.

Thunder's Luguentz Dort: Muted production in return
Rotowire
Dort (shoulder) recorded three points (1-4 FG, 1-2 3Pt), four rebounds, one assist and one block across 22 minutes in Saturday's 109-96 win over the Hornets.
Dort was cleared to return to action after missing the previous five games with a right upper trap strain, but his playing time was somewhat kept in check while head coach Mark Daigneault leaned heavily on reserve guards Ajay Mitchell (31 minutes) and Isaiah Joe (21 minutes). Though Dort could see his minutes pick up to some extent in future contests, the 13-1 Thunder have maintained a 15.4-point differential through 14 games, which has often allowed the team to rest key players in the fourth quarter of blowouts.

After missing the past five games for the Thunder, Dort has the green light to return. It's not clear if he will have restrictions, however. With Dort back in the mix, Ajay Mitchell, Isaiah Joe and Alex Caruso could see their minutes take a slight hit.

Dort (shoulder) is questionable for Saturday's game against Charlotte.
Dort has missed the past five games for the Thunder, but the questionable tag suggests that he remains day-to-day. Aaron Wiggins (groin) remains out, so guys like Ajay Mitchell, Isaiah Joe and Alex Caruso are all candidates to absorb more minutes on the wings.
