Starting versus Detroit
Wallace will start Monday's game against Detroit, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.
Analysis
Oklahoma City is playing the second half of a back-to-back, so Jalen Williams (hamstring) and Isaiah Hartenstein (calf) will take the night off. As a result, Wallace will rejoin the starting lineup. The 22-year-old has started 57 games this season, averaging 9.3 points, 3.2 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 0.3 blocks and 2.1 steals across 27.6 minutes per contest in those appearances.

Headed to bench
Wallace will come off the bench for Sunday's game versus the Knicks, Rylan Stiles of SI.com reports.
Analysis

Scores 21 points in spot start
Wallace finished Friday's 131-113 win over the Bulls with 21 points (8-11 FG, 5-7 3Pt), five rebounds, two assists, one block and three steals over 31 minutes.
Analysis
Wallace got the start Friday due to the absence of Chet Holmgren (hip) and delivered a massive impact, surpassing the 20-point mark for the first tme since Feb. 25, when he had 23 points in a loss to Detroit. Wallace's recent numbers have been trending in the wrong direction, as he was coming off 10 straight games with single-digit scoring figures, and his fantasy upside was also trending downward following the return of Jalen Williams to the starting lineup. Wallace should return to a bench if Holmgren returns to the starting unit against the Knicks on Sunday.

Starting sans Holmgren
Wallace will start Friday's game against the Bulls, Brandon Rahbar of DailyThunder.com reports.
Analysis
With Chet Holmgren (hip) unavailable, Wallace will rejoin the first unit against Chicago. Over 13 starts since the All-Star break, the third-year guard has averaged 10.8 points, 4.5 assists, 3.3 rebounds and 2.0 steals in 28.8 minutes per contest.
