Thunder depth chart
The Oklahoma City Thunder's published depth chart at all five spots, the injury report, who played how many minutes last game, and our projected rotation for the next one.
The Oklahoma City Thunder list 17 players across the five spots on the league's own depth chart, last changed Sep 30. First choice at each: Shai Gilgeous-Alexander at point guard, Cason Wallace at shooting guard, Jalen Williams at small forward, Chet Holmgren at power forward and Isaiah Hartenstein at center. It is an ordering, not a minutes projection — a club can list five point guards and play two.
3 on the injury report. Out: Otega Oweh. Day-to-day: Thomas Sorber and Nikola Topic.
Last game, at the Spurs on Tue, Oct 20 (W 116-104): 13 players got on the floor. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander 36, Chet Holmgren 31 and Jalen Williams 30 led the minutes.
Next up: vs the Nuggets, Thu, Oct 22 at 9:30 PM ET. The model projects 14 players at 10 or more minutes, led by Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (33.3), Chet Holmgren (28.4) and Jalen Williams (27.1). That is our minutes projection off usage and availability, not the club's announcement — the NBA names its starters about 30 minutes before tip.

A projection, not a lineup. “Proj min” is his minutes if he dresses; “Plays” is the chance he is in the rotation at all. Both are the numbers behind the points board and the fantasy projections, last repriced Oct 21. Starters are official about 30 minutes before tip.
