Wallace is the lone change to the Thunder starting lineup. He's in for Isaiah Joe, who has been ruled out with a left calf contusion. Alex Caruso is also available and may pick up a few more minutes with Joe unavailable. Neither he nor Wallace is a must-roster player, although the latter offers a slightly higher ceiling as a starter.
Mark Daigneault's revolving door in the starting lineup has continued, though Joe has been a constant presence in the opening unit over their last four games. However, Aaron Wiggins and Cason Wallace should both start on Tuesday with Joe sidelined with this calf issue. It's the first night of a back-to-back, so keep an eye on the injury report on Wednesday morning to see if Joe will be back for that one.
Caruso is poised to return after missing two games with a sore hip. With Isaiah Joe (calf) sidelined, more minutes will be available to Oklahoma City's available wings. However, Caruso has not played more than 22 minutes in any of his appearances this season. Look for Ajay Mitchell to remain in the rotation.
Caruso will miss a second straight game, boosting the minutes of Cason Wallace, Aaron Wiggins, and Isaiah Joe. With Chet Holmgren sidelined, two of those three should be in the starting lineup. All can provide deep-league fantasy value, but it isn't easy to pinpoint which one will step up for the Thunder.
Mark Daigneault's revolving door in the starting lineup continues on, even with Chet Holmgren out. It is Joe and Wallace that will start in this one, with Aaron Wiggins coming off the bench. All three will still play plenty of minutes, with a few extra to go around with Alex Caruso (hip) sidelined.
