Joe closed with 12 points (5-12 FG, 2-8 3Pt), three rebounds, one block and one steal over 27 minutes during Tuesday's 101-100 victory over the Clippers.
Joe played 27 minutes for the second game in a row and finished with a double-digit scoring haul for the third straight contest. His fantasy ceiling is lower while the Thunder have all their key backcourt options available, but Joe at least appears to have solidified himself as the top guard off the bench behind starters Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Josh Giddey. Joe continues to put up three-pointers at a steady clip in his bench role and makes for a good streaming option for the category.

Thunder's Isaiah Joe: Starting Friday
Rotowire
Joe will start at shooting guard in Friday's matchup with the Jazz, Brandon Rahbar of DailyThunder.com reports.

Joe will return to the second unit for Wednesday's game against the Lakers, Brandon Rahbar of DailyThunder.com reports.
The Thunder are rolling with a big lineup tonight featuring Josh Giddey, Luguentz Dort, Jalen Williams, Jaylin Williams and Jeremiah Robinson-Earl, but Joe should still see solid minutes off the bench with Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (health and safety protocols) unavailable.

Thunder's Isaiah Joe: Another big scoring night
Rotowire
Joe posted 24 points (6-11 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 8-11 FT) and three assists over 28 minutes during Sunday's 124-115 loss to the Kings.
With the second straight absence of Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (ankle/abdomen), Joe got the starting nod again and led the team in scoring. The young guard was a big part of the offense for the shorthanded Thunder, even getting to the line 11 times. Other than his scoring, he fails to add much defensively, but given the currently unknown timetable for Gilgeous-Alexander's return, Joe is showing he can be a good streaming option for any fantasy managers solely looking to add some scoring numbers.

Thunder's Isaiah Joe: Dazzles in spot start
Rotowire
Joe finished Friday's 124-115 loss to the Suns with a team-high 28 points (11-17 FG, 6-12 3Pt) to go with seven rebounds in 36 minutes.
Entering the starting five as a replacement for Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (ankle), Joe left the facilitating duties to Josh Giddey (five assists) and instead turned his focus toward filling Gilgeous-Alexander's role as a high-volume scorer. While the stellar performance in the scoring column is sure to attract some attention, Joe still profiles little more than a streaming option for three-pointers, given his lack of production in other areas along with the fact that Gilgeous-Alexander isn't expected to be dealing with a long-term injury. Assuming Gilgeous-Alexander is back in action Sunday against the Kings, Joe will move to the bench and see a major drop in his minutes and usage (20.1 percent) from Friday.

Thunder's Isaiah Joe: Drills five treys in win
Rotowire
Joe compiled 15 points (5-11 FG, 5-10 3Pt), five rebounds and two assists in 23 minutes in Tuesday's 133-130 win over the Lakers.
With a pair of five three-pointer outings under his belt over the past three games and four games with at least five three-pointers in his last 10 contests, Joe is carving out a reputation as a reliable streaming option for treys. The third-year wing typically doesn't provide much in other areas, however, meaning he shouldn't be viewed as a player worthy of a permanent roster spot on a 12- or 14-team category league.

Rotowire
Joe supplied 18 points (6-10 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 1-1 FT), two assists, one block and two steals over 19 minutes during Saturday's 153-121 victory over Houston.
Joe was locked in from beyond the arc and scored 15 of his 18 points from downtown. He's shown that he can make a sizeable impact from deep when given the chance, as he drilled seven triples on two separate occasions in January. However, he's yet to do so on a consistent basis. Joe has been held to single figures in four of his last six appearances.

Joe posted six points (1-3 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-3 FT) and one rebound in 21 minutes during Friday's 112-100 victory over Cleveland.
Joe led all bench players with 21 minutes Friday but came up short when it comes to tangible production. This effort aside, Joe has been arguably the best three-point streaming option recently, averaging 3.8 triples per game over the past two weeks. It appears the coaching staff is more than happy to give him at least 20 minutes most nights. Friday's effort aside, he should remain on the radar for anyone needing a short-term boost in perimeter scoring.

Thunder's Isaiah Joe: Pops for 21 off bench
Rotowire
Joe ended with 21 points (7-13 FG, 7-12 3Pt) and six rebounds over 29 minutes during Friday's 118-113 loss to the Kings.
The 23-year-old guard's bench role still makes his production erratic, but Joe has demonstrated an impressive ceiling when he's gotten a chance. He's scored more than 20 points three times in nine January contests, averaging 12.6 points, 3.4 boards, 3.0 threes and 1.3 assists in 21.2 minutes a night during that stretch and putting himself on the radar in deeper season-long formats as well as being a cap-saving DFS option with some upside.
