Alex Caruso

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.

Caruso left Thursday's game against the Grizzlies early with a back injury that he's been dealing with all season. The 31-year-old shooting guard was at shootaround and is available Saturday where he'll resume his customary reserve role.

Both Caruso and Williams were listed as questionable after exiting early from Thursday's win over Memphis. Participating in shootaround isn't a guarantee that they will play, but it is a good sign. Kenrich Williams and Isaiah Joe would be in line for extra minutes if Caruso and Williams are sidelined, with Joe offering more fantasy upside.
