Chet Holmgren (illness) is out for Monday's game against the Nuggets.
Analysis: Due to a case of the flu, Holmgren will miss a second consecutive game. Isaiah Joe was productive in 35 minutes as a starter in Saturday's win over the Warriors, and he should retain that role while Holmgren sits. |

Alex Caruso (hip) is out for Monday's matchup with the Nuggets.
Analysis: Caruso will miss a second straight game while tending to a hip injury, and guys like Isaiah Joe and Aaron Wiggins could be in line for extra minutes against Denver. Brooks Barnhizer is also in the mix for increased playing time, but he's not on the fantasy radar. |

Analysis: Holmgren is dealing with the flu, which sidelined him for Saturday's win over the Warriors. Isaiah Joe moved into the starting lineup, accounting for 18 points, four rebounds, three assists and two three-pointers in 35 minutes.

NBA Injury Report
Isaiah Hartenstein (calf) is out for Monday's game against the Nuggets.

Analysis: Caruso, who was injured during Wednesday's win over the Knicks, did not play in Saturday's win over the Warriors. Brooks Barnhizer played 12 minutes off the bench, but Caruso's absence was more impactful for Isaiah Joe and Aaron Wiggins, who played 35 and 29 minutes, respectively. |

Jaylin Williams Jaylin Williams corrals game-high 14 rebounds
Sat, Mar 7, 2026, 5:57 PM
Jaylin Williams amassed nine points (3-of-7 FGs), 14 rebounds, four assists, one block and three three-pointers in Saturday's win over the Warriors.
Analysis: Williams moved into the starting lineup on Saturday, as a calf injury sidelined Isaiah Hartenstein. JayWill shot 3-of-6 from beyond the arc and provided excellent value in the rebound and assist categories while playing 32 minutes. His productivity is no surprise to experienced fantasy managers, as Williams has put up some big lines in the past when allowed to start. The Thunder's three-game Week 20 does not include a back-to-back, so Williams' value could be limited if Hartenstein returns. |

Isaiah Joe Isaiah Joe chips in with 18 points vs. GSW
Sat, Mar 7, 2026, 5:57 PM
Isaiah Joe accounted for 18 points (5-of-12 FGs, 6-of-6 FTs), four rebounds, three assists and two three-pointers in Saturday's win over the Warriors.
Analysis: The Thunder did not have Chet Holmgren or Isaiah Hartenstein for Saturday's game, with the former's absence opening a spot in the starting lineup for Joe. While he did not provide any defensive stats, the percentages were solid for the Thunder wing. His fantasy value moving forward depends on the availability of players ahead of him in the rotation, but Joe is worth streaming on nights when he's allowed to start. |

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Shai Gilgeous-Alexander scores game-high 27 points
Sat, Mar 7, 2026, 5:56 PM
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander finished Saturday's win over the Warriors with 27 points (6-of-15 FGs, 14-of-15 FTs), five rebounds, five assists, one steal, one block and one three-pointer.
Analysis: Gilgeous-Alexander is one step closer, having scored at least 20 points in 125 consecutive games. That's one away from Wilt Chamberlain's NBA record, and SGA can match the all-time great on Monday against the Nuggets. As for his performance against the Warriors, Gilgeous-Alexander didn't have the best night shooting from the field, but a near-perfect night at the foul line boosted the points tally. Monday's matchup with the Nuggets is the first of three games for the Thunder in Week 20. |

Analysis: Back in the lineup after sitting out Tuesday's win over the Bulls, Gilgeous-Alexander had an efficient night at the office.

The Knicks could pull no closer than three, missing two attempts to tie the game in the final seconds. The Thunder end their Week 19 on Saturday against the Warriors. |

Jaylin Williams Jaylin Williams pours in 17/16/6 line off bench
Tue, Mar 3, 2026, 5:59 PM
Jaylin Williams recorded a double-double on Tuesday with 17 points (6-of-11 FGs), 16 rebounds, six assists, one steal and three three-pointers against the Bulls.
Analysis: Williams didn't get the starting nod with Isaiah Hartenstein (calf) sidelined, but he did see a bump in minutes, which allowed him to stuff the stat sheet and set a new season high for rebounds. Williams has been able to pour in the stats when he has gotten the opportunity to play extended minutes this season. However, Hartenstein will likely return to play the Knicks on Wednesday, which will prevent Williams from repeating this performance. |
