Both wings will be back in the lineup after Wiggins missed Oklahoma City's last five games, while Caruso only missed one game. The Thunder will be at nearly full strength for the showdown between the top two teams in the West, which means Isaiah Joe and Cason Wallace should lose out on some minutes.
Caruso and Williams have been downgraded from questionable to out, leaving the Thunder without two key reserves. Multiple players, including Cason Wallace and Kenrich Williams, will absorb their minutes. Wallace is worth streaming in deep leagues, while managers can afford to leave Williams on the waiver wire.
Both reserves are now dealing with ankle injuries that could keep them sidelined against Detroit. With the top seed in the West already locked up, there is no reason for the Thunder to have its players play through injuries. If Caruso and Williams are sidelined, Cason Wallace and Kenrich Williams would take on extra minutes.
Caruso and Williams have been relatively health as of late off the pine. Cason Wallace and Kenrich Williams could play more important bench roles than usual if the aforementioned players can't suit up.
Giddey will shake off his questionable tag and play through a sore right hip. Giddey will return to Paycom Center for the first time since he was traded for Alex Caruso last summer, so this could be an emotional matchup. Giddey has led the Bulls to the highest scoring average in the Association across the last five games.
