Thunder's Aaron Wiggins: Provides 19 points off bench
Rotowire
Wiggins had 19 points (8-11 FG, 3-3 3Pt), four rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal across 32 minutes during Wednesday's 107-106 victory over Detroit.
Wiggins provided a major spark off the Oklahoma City bench, racking up 13 points in the first half alone on 5-of-6 shooting from the field, including 3-of-3 from beyond the arc. His big first two quarters allowed Wiggins to earn more playing time in the second half, with the 32 minutes he played marking his most since March 7. Given the inconsistency with which head coach Mark Daigneault tends to use his reserves with the exception of Isaiah Joe, Wiggins can't be counted on to get heavy minutes on any sort of regular basis.

Thunder's Aaron Wiggins: Picks up two steals in win
Rotowire
Wiggins finished Sunday's 124-120 win over the Suns with seven points (3-4 FG, 1-1 FT), two rebounds and two steals in 12 minutes.
Since he moved back to the bench following a March 8 start in Phoenix, Wiggins' playing time has been all over the shop, ranging from two to 20 over the past five games. He fell in the middle of the two extremes Sunday, and though he delivered some solid production in the steals category, he can't be relied upon to replicate that with any sort of consistency in limited minutes.

Thunder's Aaron Wiggins: Starting against Warriors
Rotowire
Wiggins will start Tuesday against the Warriors, Brandon Rahbar of the Daily Thunder reports.
Wiggins is going to be a popular streamer for the Thunder's back-to-back set. Jalen Williams (wrist) will be sidelined Tuesday and Wednesday, while Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (abdomen) will sit out Wednesday's contest.
Wiggins notched 27 points (12-16 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-4 FT), four rebounds and two steals in 27 minutes during Friday's 130-103 win over the Jazz.
Wiggins was impressive off the bench and made the most of his minutes to end up as one of the Thunder's leading scorers in an impressive 27-point win over Utah. This was Wiggins' best scoring output of the season, but fantasy managers shouldn't be fooled by this performance, as he's only averaging 8.5 points with 2.7 rebounds across 21.0 minutes per game since the start of February.

Thunder's Aaron Wiggins: Assigned to G League
Rotowire
The Thunder assigned Wiggins to the G League's Oklahoma City Blue on Saturday, Brandon Rahbar of DailyThunder.com reports.
Wiggins played 19 minutes during the Thunder's loss to Phoenix on Friday, but he'll head back to the G League a day later. He's been a consistent part of the NBA's rotation all season, so he should be back with the parent club before too long.

Thunder's Aaron Wiggins: Assigned to G League
Rotowire
Wiggins was assigned to the G League's Oklahoma City Blue on Wednesday, Rylan Stiles of BricktownBuckets.com reports.
Wiggins started five of the last eight matchups for the Thunder and averaged 6.6 points and 2.8 rebounds in 21.8 minutes per game across that span. However, he returned to the bench Monday and should have a chance to see plenty of playing time for the Blue during their final game before the All-Star break. It wouldn't be surprising to see the 24-year-old rejoin the parent club following the layoff.

Thunder's Aaron Wiggins: Scores 19 points as starter
Rotowire
Wiggins racked up 19 points (8-10 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), two rebounds, two steals and one assist across 25 minutes during Monday's 141-114 loss to Golden State.
Wiggins has been a hit-or-miss performer as a starter this season, but his 19 points on Monday accounted for a season-high total, and it marked the first time he cracked double-digits in the points department in three games. However, Wiggins isn't going to consistently convert on 80 percent of his shot attempts on most nights, so the stat line is best viewed as a fluky one. Wiggins at least looks as though he'll be the Thunder's preferred option to start alongside Josh Giddey and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander in the backcourt while Luguentz Dort (hamstring) is out.

Thunder's Aaron Wiggins: Scores 10 points in spot start
Rotowire
Wiggins produced 10 points (4-6 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and two steals over 31 minutes during Friday's 112-100 win over the Cavaliers.
Wiggins moved into the starting lineup Friday, logging at least 30 minutes for just the fourth time this season. However, the Thunder continue to change their rotation on a nightly basis, making guys like Wiggins almost impossible to trust when it comes to fantasy value. While he can put up numbers when handed significant playing time, he could play no more than 15 minutes in their next outing.

Thunder's Aaron Wiggins: Starting sans Dort
Rotowire
Wiggins will start Friday's game against the Cavaliers, Rylan Stiles of BricktownBuckets.com reports.
With Luguentz Dort (hamstring) out, Wiggins will move back into the starting lineup for the first time since Jan. 3. The second-year wing has scored in double figures in five of his seven starts this season, posting 11.4 points, 5.6 rebounds and 2.6 assists during those contests. The Thunder have also won all seven of Wiggins' starts this season.
Wiggins racked up 17 points (7-8 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 1-1 FT), six rebounds and three assists over 32 minutes during Tuesday's 150-117 victory over Boston.
Wiggins replaced Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (illness) in the starting lineup and matched his season high in scoring. While Wiggins' performance was an encouraging one, he was out of the rotation in the Thunder's previous game Saturday against the 76ers and failed to score a single point in three of his previous four appearances. With that in mind, fantasy managers should view Tuesday's outing as an outlier for Wiggins, who isn't on the radar in anything other than the deepest of formats.
