Sinks four triples in victory Dort notched 12 points (4-8 FG, 4-8 3Pt), three rebounds and one assist in 28 minutes during Tuesday's 112-105 win over the Nuggets in Game 5 of the Western Conference Semifinals.

Impact Dort went just 1-for-4 from three-point range across the first three quarters. However, the defensive-minded swingman hit three clutch triples in the first six minutes of the fourth, helping the Thunder pull within striking distance down the stretch. Dort has shot just 32.6 percent from the field in the Western Conference Semifinals, during which he has averaged 9.4 points, 2.4 rebounds and 1.0 assists across 27.6 minutes per contest.

Impact Dort failed to have an impact, scoring fewer than five points for the third time in the past five games.

Dort will look to redeem himself when the two teams meet again Sunday.

Scores 14 points in loss Dort supplied 14 points (4-9 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal across 30 minutes during Monday's 121-119 loss to Denver in Game 1 of the Weste...

Impact Dort took a Nikola Jokic elbow to the head Monday, but he escaped without an injury. On a night in which Jalen Williams couldn't get anything going, both Dort and Alex Caruso stepped up in a big way with a combined 34 points. This performance could help Dort build some confidence, as he scored a combined 14 points in his previous three outings.

Through two games, the defensive wing is averaging 10.0 points, 6.0 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 3.0 three-pointers in 27.5 minutes.

Impact Dort was sidelined for the Thunder's final three games of the regular season due to right patellofemoral injury management, but his absences were seemingly precautionary with Oklahoma City having clinched the league's best record. The veteran forward was fresh heading into the start of the postseason, but the Thunder didn't have to overextend Dort in the blowout win.

Impact Just like it happened Friday against the Jazz, the Thunder will rest the majority of their regular rotation members for this regular-season finale after securing not only the top seed in the Western Conference, but also the best record in the league. Dort is a key two-way player for the Thunder, as he's excellent as a perimeter defender who has also developed a respectable three-point shot. He ends the regular season with averages of 10.1 points, 4.1 rebounds and 1.6 assists per game while shooting a career-best 41.2 percent from three-point range.
