Thunder's Victor Oladipo: Will play, start Tuesday vs. Trail Blazers

Oladipo (back) will play and start at shooting guard for Tuesday's game against the Trail Blazers, Royce Young of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis:

Oladipo has missed the last six games following the All-Star break, as he's dealt with a back spasms. However, after taking part in Tuesday's morning shootaround without any issues, Oladipo has officially been given the green light to take the court and will immediately jump back in to the starting five at shooting guard. That said, considering it's first game back from a extended absence, Oladipo could find his minutes limited a bit, so he may be a bit risky to use in DFS contests. Season-long users, however, should feel comfortable getting him active and in your lineups. Look for Alex Abrines to head back to the bench in the corresponding move.
