Rotowire
Wiggins totaled 18 points (7-14 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT), three rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal over 33 minutes during Friday's 121-109 victory over the Raptors.
Chet Holmgren made his return Friday from a three-month absence due to a hip issue, but with Lugentz Dort (back) a late scratch instead, Wiggins remained in the starting five for at least one more game. The fourth-year forward figures to return to the bench once Dort is cleared, but Wiggins has been productive while starting the last four contests, averaging 22.3 points, 6.0 boards, 2.5 assists, 2.3 threes and 0.8 steals in 31.0 minutes while shooting 57.4 percent from the floor.

Thunder's Aaron Wiggins: Efficient 17 points in start
Rotowire
Wiggins totaled 17 points (6-8 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), six rebounds, one assist and one steal over 25 minutes during Wednesday's 140-109 win over the Suns.
Wiggins was able to stay in Oklahoma City's first unit Wednesday despite the return of Jalen Williams, as Cason Wallace is now nursing a shoulder injury. Wiggins has averaged 12.1 points, 4.2 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 0.9 steals and 1.9 threes in 24.5 minutes across 16 games as a Thunder starter this season. Although the 26-year-old sharpshooter's fantasy value remains limited to triples and swipes, he'll carry more streaming appeal when he gets to ride with the starting lineup.
