Huestis will come off the bench for Thursday's contest against the Suns as Corey Brewer will draw the start in his stead, Brett Dawson of The Oklahoman reports.
Impact
Huestis hasn't played particularly well over the past six games, averaging just 4.2 points and 4.3 boards in 22.0 minutes while shooting 39.1 percent from the field. Coach Billy Donovan apparently feels that Brewer would be a better addition to the starting five, or at least worth an experiment.
Huestis had only two points, two rebounds, and one block in 14 minutes during Thursday's 110-107 victory over the Kings.
Impact
Huestis moved into the starting lineup with Alex Abrines under some doubt. He was not able to deliver at all for anyone who might have taken a flier on him, finishing with just two points in 14 minutes. Whether he remains in the starting lineup or moves back to the bench, his value is non-existent and he should be left on the waiver wire.
Huestis will start at shooting guard in Thursday's matchup with Sacramento, Fred Katz of CNHI Oklahoma reports.
Impact
Huestis is likely drawing the start due to Alex Abrines' (hip) questionable status for the tilt. Huestis may see a few extra minutes while in the starting unit. It's unclear if he'll remain in the starting lineup beyond Thursday's game.
Huestis provided four points (1-2 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT) and one rebound across 21 minutes in Sunday's 110-92 win over the Grizzlies.
Impact
The third-year swingman didn't exactly wow in his two-game audition as the starting two-guard, leading head coach Billy Donovan to deploy Alex Abrines at that spot Sunday. Huestis still logged a respectable amount of minutes off the bench, but as was the case during his opportunities with the first unit, he wasn't very efficient on a per-minute basis. Given Abrines' success in his spot start, Huestis appears destined to come off the bench for the time being.
Huestis will come off the bench in Sunday's game against the Grizzlies, Brett Dawson of The Oklahoman reports.
Impact
Huestis has started the last two games at shooting guard, but he went scoreless in Thursday's loss to the Lakers after scoring just six points in the victory over the Warriors. As a result, coach Billy Donovan will add more offense to his starting lineup by inputting Alex Abrines into the unit.
Huestis failed to score (0-3 FG, 0-2 3Pt) and four rebounds across 17 minutes in Thursday's 106-81 loss to the Lakers.
Impact
Huestis was one of two Thunder starters -- Patrick Patterson being the other -- that didn't register on the scoreboard. The 26-year-old was making his second consecutive start as head coach Billy Donovan looks for the best fit in the starting two-guard spot vacated by the season-ending knee injury to Andre Roberson. It remains to be seen if he'll continue to get opportunities with the first unit, but even if he does, Huestis has yet to demonstrate much fantasy upside this season.
Huestis registered six points (3-5 FG), five rebounds and one block across 25 minutes in Tuesday's 125-105 win over the Warriors.
Impact
The 26-year-old drew the start at two-guard for Terrance Ferguson but was relatively quiet in terms of production. However, even with Carmelo Anthony exiting in the first quarter with an ankle injury, the fact that Heustis still had to share the floor with Russell Westbrook, Paul George and Steven Adams basically guaranteed that he was going to have a minor offensive role. His entry into the starting five was primarily for defensive purposes, a move that seemed to have been a rousing success considering the vaunted Splash Bros tandem of Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson went a combined 11-for-27 from the field.
Huestis will get the start at shooting guard Tuesday against the Warriors, Royce Young of ESPN.com reports.
Impact
Since Andre Roberson (leg) went down with a season-ending injury, Terrance Ferguson has replaced him in the starting rotation. However, Huestis gets the nod Tuesday night after only averaging a little over 12 minutes a contest over the past 10 games.
Huestis will come off the bench Wednesday against the Lakers, Royce Young of ESPN.com reports.
Impact
Huestis will head back to the bench after making his first start of the season in the Thunder's last game. Terrance Ferguson will start in his place, and the two will likely split minutes while Andre Roberson (knee) remains sidelined.
Huestis will start Sunday against the Mavericks, Brett Dawson of The Oklahoman reports.
Impact
Huestis gets the rare start in place of Andre Roberson, whose out with patellar tendonitis. Even though Huestis is getting the nod, he'll likely split time with Alex Abrines on Sunday, and for the duration of Roberson's absence.
