Rotowire
Joe compiled 19 points (5-8 FG, 4-5 FT, 5-8 3Pt), two rebounds and a blocked shot over 20 minutes in Thursday's 122-116 preseason win over the Hornets.

Thunder's Isaiah Joe: Fails to score in Game 2 win
Rotowire
Joe notched zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt), one rebound, one assist and one block over three minutes during Thursday's 118-103 win over the Timberwolves in Game 2 of the Western Conference Finals.
Joe barely featured in the rotation Thursday, failing to score for the third time these playoffs. He has now played fewer than 10 minutes in six of the past seven games as the Thunder tightens its rotation moving deep into the postseason. At this point, he is basically being used as a depth piece, although his offensive upside could still play a role at some point should the situation call for it.

Thunder's Isaiah Joe: Perfect from field in Game 2
Rotowire
Joe closed with 14 points (5-5 FG, 4-4 3Pt), one rebound, two assists and one steal in 17 minutes during Wednesday's 149-106 win over Denver in Game 2 of the Western Conference Semifinals.
The Thunder were extremely efficient from the floor throughout the game, and Joe was one of several role players who stepped up in this dominant win. The sharpshooting guard went perfect from the floor and delivered a solid showing as a second-unit scoring weapon. His upside won't be very high due to his bench role, but he has the potential to put up solid points here and there when given enough minutes.

Thunder's Isaiah Joe: Career-best night from outside
Rotowire
Joe closed with a season-high 32 points (11-15 FG, 10-14 3Pt), five rebounds, nine assists and two steals across 34 minutes during Friday's 145-111 win over the Jazz.
The 10 three-pointers were a career high for Joe, who was making his second straight start as the Thunder let their usual starters heal up ahead of the playoffs. The 25-year-old wing could be in line for another start Sunday against New Orleans in OKC's regular-season finale, but he'll be a volatile DFS option if he does -- in his first start Wednesday, Joe scored just five points on 2-for-8 shooting, including 1-for-6 from beyond the arc.

Thunder's Isaiah Joe: Outstanding in win over Chicago
Rotowire
Joe finished with 31 points (10-17 FG, 8-14 3Pt, 3-3 FT), two rebounds, one assist and one steal in 24 minutes during Monday's 145-117 victory over the Bulls.
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Jalen Williams tend to earn most of the credit for what the Thunder do on offense on a regular basis, but this time it was Joe who led OKC to a huge blowout win with an outstanding effort off the bench. This is not the first time Joe has turned heads with his play as a member of the second unit, though, as he also scored 31 points in a win over the Knicks on Jan. 10. Joe has scored 15 or more points off the bench in 10 different games this season.

Thunder's Isaiah Joe: Iffy for Wednesday

Joe (back) has been listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Grizzlies.
Joe is in danger of missing a third straight game as he continues to nurse soreness in his back. Oklahoma City will already be shorthanded in the backcourt with Alex Caruso (ankle) ruled out, so if Joe doesn't play, the team will be in a tough spot and will likely have to look to Aaron Wiggins to pick up the slack.
