Caruso racked up four points (1-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds and two assists over 16 minutes during Monday's 123-103 victory over the 76ers.

Caruso saw a very modest workload in the win, as the Thunder deployed a deep rotation. With Jared McCain finding his groove, it's hard to imagine Caruso emerging as anything more than a deep-league fantasy asset.

Joe supplied nine points (3-7 FG, 3-6 3Pt), two rebounds, one assist and two steals over 19 minutes during Monday's 123-103 victory over Philadelphia.

With the Thunder back at full strength, minutes may be hard to come by most nights for Joe. He's been well outside the top 200 in nine-category formats over his last six games, posting averages of 9.7 points, 3.0 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 2.2 three-pointers in 21.3 minutes per contest during that span.

Hayes is out for Tuesday's game against the Hornets due to left foot soreness.

After exiting Sunday's win over the Nets early, Hayes needs to miss at least one contest due to the foot issue. Russell Westbrook (foot) is also sidelined Tuesday, leaving the Kings with Devin Carter as their lone traditional point guard.

Plowden (foot) is good to go for Tuesday's game against the Hornets.

Plowden will shed his probable tag to suit up for this contest. With Precious Achiuwa (back) and Nique Clifford (foot) out, Plowden could see a sizable role against Charlotte.

Achiuwa (back) is out for Tuesday's game against the Hornets.

Achiuwa was unable to shake his questionable tag for this contest. With Achiuwa missing his first game since Feb. 4, the Kings could rely more on Doug McDermott and Daeqwon Plowden.

Portland assigned Hansen to the G League's Rip City Remix on Tuesday.

Hansen logged nine minutes at the NBA level Monday against Brooklyn, finishing with four points and three rebounds. He'll continue to see the bulk of his minutes with Rip City in the short term.

Proctor (quadriceps) is probable for Tuesday's game against Orlando.

Proctor was previously listed as questionable. He's been sidelined since Feb. 27 with his quadriceps strain, but he could be available as an emergency depth option off the bench Tuesday.

Connaughton (illness) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Kings.

Connaughton is not a regular rotation player for the Hornets, so his status won't carry many fantasy implications. Despite appearing in six of Charlotte's past eight games, he hasn't played double-digit minutes since March 4 in Boston.

Wiggins (toe) closed Monday's 136-111 loss to the Spurs with nine points (4-7 FG, 1-3 3Pt), three rebounds, two steals, one assist and one block across 20 minutes.

Cleared to play for the first time since March 5 after an eight-game absence due to left big toe sesamoiditis, Wiggins reclaimed his usual spot in the starting five but saw a modest workload. The fact that the Spurs had built a 30-point lead by the middle of the third quarter likely played a factor in Wiggins' limited playing time, as the veteran forward sat out the final 18 minutes. Wiggins should see something closer to a normal minutes load if the Heat can keep things more competitive in Wednesday's game in Cleveland.

Carlson (back) recorded zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and one rebound while playing the final 1:50 of Monday's 123-103 victory over the 76ers.

Carlson was cleared to play after missing the Thunder's previous 11 games due to a low back strain, but the second-year center wasn't part of the rotation while the contest was competitive. With the Thunder at full strength in the frontcourt, Carlson's opportunities are likely to be limited to garbage-time scenarios for the foreseeable future.
