Thunder's Vasilije Micic: Plays 21 minutes in blowout win
Rotowire
Micic closed with five points (1-5 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds and seven assists over 21 minutes during Thursday's 128-109 victory over the Warriors.
After appearing in just three of the Thunder's first 10 games, Micic has totaled 40 minutes over the last two matchups despite the Thunder having a completely healthy roster. However, both of those contests were blowouts, allowing Oklahoma City's reserves to see increased playing time. Micic has been solid when given a chance this year, but it'll be difficult for him to carve out a consistent role in the Thunder's crowded and talented rotation.

An accomplished player in the EuroLeague, Micic figures to compete for regular minutes off the bench behind Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Josh Giddey. For fantasy purposes, Micic is a player worth keeping an eye on in deeper formats -- particularly due to his ability to generate assists.
