Mitchell (calf) has been ruled out for Tuesday's Game 5 of the Western Conference Finals against the Spurs.

Mitchell will miss a second consecutive contest due to a right soleus strain he sustained in Friday's Game 3 win. With the 23-year-old guard sidelined, Jared McCain and Isaiah Joe are candidates for increased playing time.

Schroder (illness) has been downgraded to questionable for Monday's Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals against the Knicks.

Schroder is under the weather and may sit out Monday's do-or-die matchup. If the veteran point guard is unable to suit up, Sam Merrill, Max Strus and Keon Ellis would all be candidates to pick up a few extra minutes.

Kornet provided six points (3-4 FG), seven rebounds and two blocks across 13 minutes during Sunday's 103-82 win over the Thunder in Game 4 of the Western Conference Finals.

Kornet has had a quiet series overall, but Sunday was his best game by far. Through four games against the Thunder, Kornet is averaging 11.5 minutes with 3.5 points, 3.5 rebounds and 0.5 blocks on 70.0 percent shooting from the field.

Wiggins had four points (2-11 FG, 0-4 3Pt), two rebounds and one block in 21 minutes during Sunday's 103-82 loss to San Antonio in Game 4 of the Western Conference Finals.

Wiggins wasn't able to take advantage of some rare minutes with the Thunder getting blown out of this contest. Across 10 postseason appearances, Wiggins is averaging a mere 4.6 minutes per contest.

Joe racked up 11 points (4-9 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 1-1 FT), five rebounds, two assists, one block and two steals across 19 minutes during Sunday's 103-82 loss to San Antonio in Game 4 of the Western Conference Finals.

The Thunder were blown out of this game, so the team went deep into the bench Sunday. Joe has been used sparingly in the postseason, as he's averaging 11.4 minutes across 11 appearances with 5.5 points, 1.3 rebounds, 1.1 assists and 0.5 steals on 43.1 percent shooting from the field.

Williams finished with 10 points (3-7 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, three assists and one steal across 23 minutes during Sunday's 103-82 loss to San Antonio in Game 4 of the Western Conference Finals.

With the Thunder getting blown out early, Williams saw his largest workload of the postseason. Prior to Sunday's game, Williams had just 19 total minutes across seven postseason appearances.

Hartenstein recorded 12 points (6-11 FG), seven rebounds and three assists over 18 minutes during Sunday's 103-82 loss to San Antonio in Game 4 of the Western Conference Finals.

Hartenstein picked up a few quick fouls, and the Thunder opted to use some smaller lineups, with this game getting out of hand quickly. Hartenstein has been solid in the playoffs overall, posting averages of 9.0 points, 8.3 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 0.9 steals in 23.6 minutes per contest.

Barnes finished with five points (0-4 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 5-6 FT), three rebounds and one steal across 16 minutes during Sunday's 103-82 win over the Thunder in Game 4 of the Western Conference Finals.

Barnes logged at least 15 minutes for just the second time in the postseason, providing San Antonio with some additional size, particularly on the defensive end. In six postseason games over the past two weeks, Barnes has averaged just 2.2 points in 8.0 minutes. Given the fact that Sunday's result was a favorable one for the Spurs, it will be interesting to see whether Barnes once again plays meaningful minutes off the bench in Game 5 on Tuesday.

Fox amassed 12 points (5-13 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-1 FT), 10 rebounds, five assists, one block and one steal across 31 minutes during Sunday's 103-82 victory over the Thunder in Game 4 of the Western Conference Finals.

Fox racked up his first double-double of the postseason, helping the Spurs to an impressive home victory. However, despite his efforts, it is clear that Fox is still hampered by an ankle injury that forced him to miss Games 1 and 2. While it doesn't seem as though he suffered any setbacks, the ankle merits watching ahead of Game 5, which is scheduled for Tuesday in Oklahoma City.

McCain totaled four points (1-10 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and two rebounds over 24 minutes during Sunday's 103-82 loss to San Antonio in Game 4 of the Western Conference Finals.

McCain was unable to repeat his heroics from Game 3, tallying just four points, the fewest he has scored in his past five appearances. Oklahoma City continues to deal with injuries, affording McCain a larger-than-expected role. In his last five games, McCain has averaged 12.0 points and 1.8 three-pointers, including a 24-point effort in Game 3.
