Oklahoma City Thunder guard Jared McCain will move into the starting five ahead of Tuesday's Game 5 against the San Antonio Spurs. McCain will make his first start of the series with Ajay Mitchell (calf) and Jalen Williams (hamstring) both ruled out. The Thunder are looking to bounce back after losing Game 4. They'll shake up their lineup and insert McCain over Cason Wallace. Between the two, McCain has more scoring potential, but Wallace is better defensively. McCain could be an interesting DFS option with him moving into the starting unit on Tuesday.

Oklahoma City Thunder forward Jalen Williams (hamstring) has been officially ruled out ahead of Tuesday's Game 5 against the San Antonio Spurs. Williams hasn't played since he re-aggravated his hamstring during Game 2 of this series. The hope is that Williams can get back on the court before this series is over. The Thunder will also be without Ajay Mitchell (calf) for Tuesday's contest. That should mean Cason Wallace and Jared McCain take on bigger roles in the rotation. Neither has been a great fantasy option, but Wallace might have the edge, assuming he moves into the starting five once again.

New Orleans Pelicans forward Zion Williamson is expected to be used in a variety of different ways next season. New head coach Jamahl Mosley recently said he wants to help tap into Williamson's full potential. He continued by saying Williamson is a high-IQ player who can handle more playmaking responsibilities. Last season, Williamson averaged 21.0 points, 5.7 rebounds, and 3.2 assists across 29.7 minutes per game in 62 contests. It sounds like Mosley is willing to give Williamson more responsibility on the court, which should mean higher fantasy value. The biggest problem has been keeping Williamson on the court. He has only played more than 60 games in a single season three times during his NBA career.

Cleveland Cavaliers forward/center Evan Mobley tallied 15 points, seven rebounds, four assists, and one steal in Monday's 130-93 blowout loss to the New York Knicks. Mobley, who finished 7-for-15 from the field in Game 4, played well throughout the series, but the Cavaliers fell well short in other areas. The 24-year-old finished the second season of a five-year, $269 million contract. In 2025-26, Mobley averaged career highs with 1.7 blocks and 3.6 assists. While his three-point efficiency declined, Mobley still notched 18.2 points and grabbed 9.0 rebounds per game. His high-level two-way ability makes Mobley an outstanding fantasy asset, and he hasn't even reached his prime yet.
