Thunder's Luguentz Dort: Sees 28 minutes in Game 1
Rotowire
Dort recorded six points (2-5 FG, 2-5 3Pt), three rebounds and four assists across 28 minutes during Tuesday's 108-90 win over the Lakers in Game 1 of the Western Conference Semifinals.
Dort's usage was very low in Game 1, but that's to be expected in the postseason. Through five playoff games, Dort has been very quiet with averages of 6.6 points, 2.6 rebounds and 1.8 assists on 36.7 percent shooting from the field.
Dort posted nine points (3-7 FG, 3-7 3Pt), one rebound and one steal over 24 minutes during Wednesday's 120-107 victory over the Suns in Game 2 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.
Ajay Mitchell had the hot hand off the bench, and Alex Caruso was everywhere defensively, so Dort played a modest role Thursday. Through two postseason games, he's averaging 8.5 points, 1.5 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 1.0 steals.

Rotowire
Dort (undisclosed) isn't listed on the injury report ahead of Sunday's game against Utah.
Dort suffered an undisclosed injury during Thursday's 139-96 win over the Lakers. However, it must not have been that big of an issue, considering he's not listed on the official injury report. With Dort in the rotation, Ajay Mitchell, who would have been in line to start, will continue to see work from off the bench.

Thunder's Luguentz Dort: Drains four threes
Rotowire
Dort racked up 14 points (5-9 FG, 4-6 3Pt), five rebounds and one block in 22 minutes during Wednesday's 119-109 loss to the Celtics.
Dort didn't stand out for the Thunder, but his three-point shooting was worth highlighting. Even though he's going to take on a secondary role offensively every night, Dort could still generate value as a spot-up shooter from three-point range. Dort has drained two or more threes in five of his last eight games, although he's been far from efficient with a 29.8 percent mark in that span.

Thunder's Luguentz Dort: Pedestrian line in narrow win
Rotowire
Dort racked up six points (2-8 FG, 2-8 3Pt), six rebounds and one assist in 29 minutes during Thursday's 104-102 victory over Boston.
Dort struggled with his shot, missing six of his eight attempts from deep, but he managed to contribute as a rebounder to help the Thunder secure a narrow win over the Celtics. While his offensive consistency remains a major question mark, Dort has been a permanent fixture in the starting five, averaging 30.0 minutes per game over his last 10 appearances. During this recent stretch, his scoring has been modest, averaging 8.3 points per game on just 31.5 percent shooting. Despite the lack of high-volume scoring, Dort's primary value to the Thunder lies in his perimeter defense, which keeps his minutes floor secure.

Rotowire
Dort ended with 16 points (4-9 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 5-6 FT), four rebounds and one assist over 33 minutes before fouling out of Wednesday's 103-100 victory over the Knicks.
Dort had a strong offensive showing Wednesday, but lines like these have been few and far between. Over his last eight games, he's averaging 9.1 points on 34.7 percent shooting from the field with 4.0 rebounds, 1.9 assists and 1.8 three-pointers in 29.6 minutes per contest.
Dort was assessed a Flagrant 2 foul and ejected in the fourth quarter of Friday's game against the Nuggets, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports. He'll finish with eight points (3-7 FG, 2-6 3Pt), six rebounds, one assist and one steal across 28 minutes.
The swingman was ejected after making unnecessary and excessive contact with Nikola Jokic, as Dort tripped the three-time MVP. With Dort unavailable, Alex Caruso and Jared McCain will likely help pick up the slack the rest of the way.

Rotowire
Dort ended with 12 points (5-11 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 0-2 FT), three rebounds, two assists and two steals in 35 minutes during Sunday's 121-113 victory over the Cavaliers.
Despite sizable workloads, Dort continues to leave a lot to be desired in fantasy hoops. Over his last five outings, Dort has seen 29.0 minutes per contest, but he ranks outside the top-200 in nine-category formats in that span with 9.4 points, 2.4 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 1.6 three-pointers.
