Stuffs stat sheet in Game 5 defeat Dort finished with 12 points (4-11 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, four assists and two steals in 38 minutes during Wednesday's 104-92 loss to the Mavericks in Game 5 of the We...

Impact Dort didn't have his best shooting performance and was particularly woeful from three-point range, but he still delivered decent fantasy value due to his ability to fill the stat sheet. Dort will need to be better Saturday, as the Thunder will try to avoid elimination in a pivotal Game 6 in Dallas, but the odds are against him. Through five games in the series, Dort is averaging just 10.4 points while shooting a meager 31.4 percent from the field.

Impact Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Chet Holmgren carried the Thunder to a blowout win in Game 2 of the series, but Dort made his presence felt Wednesday and was an absolute menace from beyond the arc. Dort should remain a capable contributor as the series heads to New Orleans for Game 3 on Saturday.

Has three steals in return Dort provided 11 points (3-7 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound, three assists and three steals across 27 minutes during Friday's 125-107 win over the Bucks.

Impact Dort returned to the lineup, back in action after missing the previous game due to rest. Although he is a key piece for the Thunder, Dort has been unable to establish himself as a viable standard league asset. At best, he can be viewed as a situational streaming consideration for both threes and steals.

APRIL 13, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Good to go Friday Dort (rest) isn't listed on the Thunder's injury report ahead of Friday's matchup versus the Bucks.

Impact Dort took a seat for Wednesday's win over the Spurs, which was the second night of a back-to-back set, but will return to action Friday. Over his last five appearances, Dort has averaged 16.4 points, 4.0 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 1.0 steals and 0.8 blocks in 31.4 minutes per game.

Scores 15 despite shooting woes Dort recorded 15 points (3-10 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 9-9 FT), five rebounds and one block across 28 minutes during Wednesday's 135-100 loss to Boston.

Impact Dort had a rough night from the field, but his accuracy from the charity stripe allowed him to salvage what would've otherwise been a woeful night. Dort has now gone 12 straight appearances without clearing the 15-point mark, a span in which he's averaging 9.9 points per game while shooting a woeful 37.2 percent from the field.

APRIL 4, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Not on injury report Dort (head) isn't listed on the injury report for Tuesday's game against the Pelicans.

Impact Dort left Sunday's loss to the Bucks due to a face/nose contusion but has avoided an injury and will suit up Tuesday. In March (11 appearances), Dort has averaged 11.4 points, 3.1 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 0.9 steals in 27.8 minutes per game.

MARCH 25, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Won't return Sunday Dort won't return to Sunday's game against the Bucks due to a face/nose contusion, Rylan Stiles of FanSided.com reports.

Impact Dort took a shot to the face in the third quarter of Sunday's matchup and won't return for the final several minutes with the game out of hand. It's not yet clear whether the issue will impact his availability for Tuesday's game against the Pelicans, but Aaron Wiggins and Gordon Hayward could see increased roles if Dort misses additional time.

MARCH 25, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Heads to locker room Dort went to the locker room in the third quarter of Sunday's game against the Bucks after taking a shot to the face from Khris Middleton, Andrew Schlecht of The Athletic reports.

Impact Dort suffered a bloody nose on the play in the third quarter and immediately headed to the locker room. It's unclear whether he'll be able to return down the stretch, but Aaron Wiggins and Gordon Hayward could see an uptick in playing time if Dort is unavailable.

MARCH 25, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Hits for 18 against Pacers Dort contributed 18 points (6-12 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 3-3 FT), two rebounds, three assists and one steal over 35 minutes during Tuesday's 121-111 loss to Indiana.

Impact The fifth-year forward extended his streak of games with at least one made three-pointer to 18, but Dort has had trouble making a consistent offensive contribution otherwise. He hasn't strung together double-digit points for more than two games in a row since mid-January, and in 11 contests since the All-Star break he's averaging 11.8 points, 3.1 boards, 2.7 threes, 1.2 steals and 1.1 assists.

MARCH 13, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Scores 15 points in loss Dort accumulated 15 points (5-9 FG, 5-7 3Pt), two rebounds, two assists and one steal across 24 minutes during Monday's 116-104 loss to the Lakers.

Impact All of Dort's points game from beyond the arc as his long-range stroke was dialed in during the loss. Dort has recorded five or more three-pointers five times this season and he's attempted an average of 4.9 three-point shots per game.

MARCH 5, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Drains four threes Sunday Dort racked up 16 points (5-9 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, two assists and one steal in 32 minutes during Sunday's 123-110 victory over Houston.

Impact The fifth-year forward has seen his scoring totals bounce around of late, but Dort has remained a consistent threat from long range. He's drained multiple three-pointers in five straight games and eight of the last nine, averaging 12.7 points, 3.4 boards, 2.8 threes, 1.7 assists and 1.2 steals over that stretch, while shooting 50.0 percent from the floor and 49.0 percent (25-for-51) from beyond the arc.

FEBRUARY 26, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Woeful in loss Saturday Dort totaled five points (2-7 FG, 1-6 3Pt) and two assists in 18 minutes during Saturday's 146-111 loss to the Mavericks.

Impact Dort managed just five points in 18 minutes, scoring single digits for the eighth time in the past 10 games. Despite serving as a starter for the Thunder, Dort is outside the top 200 for the season, averaging 9.7 points per game to go with 3.6 rebounds, 0.8 steals and 1.7 three-pointers. Managers can leave him on waivers in all but deeper leagues.

FEBRUARY 11, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Hits five three-pointers Dort notched 22 points (8-19 FG, 5-12 3Pt, 1-1 FT), seven rebounds, four assists and one steal over 41 minutes during Sunday's 135-127 double-overtime win over the Raptors.

Impact Dort needed a performance like this one in the worst way, as he's been stuck in a brutal slump. Even if you include this outburst, Dort has hit 36.0 percent from the field over his last 10 games to go with averages of 9.0 points, 3.4 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 1.9 three-pointers.

FEBRUARY 5, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Dort's presence at shootaround is a positive sign, but an official decision on his status for the contest may not be announced until closer to the game's 8 p.m. ET tipoff.

JANUARY 31, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Dealing with ankle soreness Dort is questionable for Wednesday's game against Denver due to left ankle soreness, Rylan Stiles of FanSided.com reports.

Impact Dort was sidelined for Thursday's win over Utah, marking his first absence since Dec. 11. If he's sidelined again, Cason Wallace, Aaron Wiggins and Isaiah Joe would be candidates for extra minutes.
