Isaiah Joe Isaiah Joe chips in with four triples, 20 points
Sun, Mar 15, 2026, 9:41 AM
Isaiah Joe recorded 20 points (8-of-14 FGs), four rebounds and four three-pointers in Sunday's win over the Timberwolves.
Analysis: On a day when Shai Gilgeous-Alexander missed 14 of his first 17 shot attempts, the Oklahoma City bench stepped up. Joe led three reserves in double figures with 20 points, and he was joined by Alex Caruso (17/2/1/3 with one three-pointer) and Jared McCain (15 points, one steal and five three-pointers). Joe's fantasy ceiling is limited, even with Jalen Williams out, but he'll have his opportunities to contribute. And Sunday's game was a reminder of what he's capable of when the threes are falling. |

Isaiah Hartenstein Hartenstein (calf) plays 21 minutes in return
Sun, Mar 15, 2026, 9:40 AM
Isaiah Hartenstein (calf) went scoreless (0-of-3 FGs), with 12 rebounds, three assists and two blocks in Sunday's win over the Timberwolves.
Analysis: While he failed to score in his 21 minutes on the floor, Hartenstein still provided value in multiple categories. Sunday's game was his 16th of the season with at least ten rebounds, and fantasy managers also benefited from the assists and blocks. Oklahoma City's three-game Week 21 includes a back-to-back, meaning that Hartenstein could be limited to two appearances. |

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Gilgeous-Alexander keeps 20-point streak alive
Sun, Mar 15, 2026, 9:39 AM
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander finished Sunday's win over the Timberwolves with 20 points (7-of-22 FGs, 4-of-5 FTs), three rebounds, 10 assists, two steals, one block and two three-pointers.
Analysis: There may have been some concern regarding Gilgeous-Alexander's streak of 127 consecutive games with at least 20 points, as he started Sunday's game shooting 3-of-17 from the field. However, the reigning MVP was able to get going late, extending his streak to a league record 128 games. Gilgeous-Alexander will look to extend his streak to 129 on Tuesday against the Magic. |

Chet Holmgren Chet Holmgren records 21 points, nine rebounds
Sun, Mar 15, 2026, 9:38 AM
Chet Holmgren tallied 21 points (9-of-13 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), nine rebounds, two assists, three steals, one block and one three-pointer in Sunday's win over the Timberwolves.
Analysis: With reigning MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander struggling for most of Sunday's game, it was up to the Thunder's âsupporting castâ to pick up the slack. Holmgren led the way with 21 points as part of a complete stat line. Oklahoma City's three-game Week 21 begins with a back-to-back, making it possible that fantasy managers can only count on Holmgren for two games. Since the All-Star break, the 7-foot-1 forward/center has been a second-round player in eight- and nine-cat formats. |

Isaiah Hartenstein Isaiah Hartenstein (calf) upgraded to available
Sun, Mar 15, 2026, 6:19 AM
NBA Injury Report
Isaiah Hartenstein (calf) is available for Sunday's game against the Timberwolves.
Analysis: Hartenstein is back after a three-game absence with a left calf contusion. His return is likely to push Ajay Mitchell to the bench, but the second-year guard should play enough to remain valuable in deep leagues. |

Jalen Williams Jalen Williams (hamstring) ruled out vs. Minnesota
Sat, Mar 14, 2026, 12:49 PM
NBA Injury Report
Jalen Williams (hamstring) is out for Sunday's game against the Timberwolves.
Analysis: Williams has not appeared in a game since February 11. Cason Wallace has been the replacement in the starting lineup, and that should remain the case as long as J-Dub is unavailable. |

Isaiah Hartenstein Isaiah Hartenstein (calf) questionable vs. MIN
Sat, Mar 14, 2026, 12:44 PM
NBA Injury Report
Isaiah Hartenstein (calf) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Timberwolves.
Analysis: Hartenstein has missed Oklahoma City's last three games with a left calf contusion, which is not the one that he strained in December. If the Thunder center can play on Sunday, he'll likely push Ajay Mitchell to the bench. |

Chet Holmgren Chet Holmgren has 14 points, nine boards in win
Thu, Mar 12, 2026, 6:24 PM
Chet Holmgren added 14 points (5-of-10 FGs, 3-of-3 FTs), nine rebounds and one three-pointer in the win over the Celtics on Thursday.
Analysis: Holmgren had a relatively pedestrian game on Thursday compared to some of his recent performances. The versatile center finished below his average in points, missed a double-double by one rebound, and didn't record any blocked shots for a second straight game. He still concluded as the team's top rebounder on the night and one of its best scorers, but fantasy managers will certainly want more from Holmgren with the fantasy playoffs on the horizon. |

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander SGA sets record for consecutive 20-point games
Thu, Mar 12, 2026, 6:18 PM
NBA
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander added 35 points (13-of-18 FGs, 7-of-8 FTs), six rebounds, nine assists, two steals, three blocks and two three-pointers in win over Celtics.
Analysis: Gilgeous-Alexander recorded a memorable outing in the Thunder's close win over the Celtics on Thursday. A notable midrange jumper during the third quarter gave the reigning MVP his 127th consecutive 20-point game, passing Wilt Chamberlain for the longest streak in NBA history. He proceeded to score efficiently, come up big down the stretch, and log at least 30 points for the 38th time this season. Fantasy managers shouldn't expect any dip in production from SGA as the fantasy playoffs near. |

Isaiah Hartenstein Isaiah Hartenstein (calf) remains out vs. Boston
Wed, Mar 11, 2026, 2:04 PM
NBA Injury Report
Isaiah Hartenstein (calf) is out for Thursday's game against the Celtics.
Analysis: Hartenstein will miss a third consecutive game as he continues to deal with a left calf contusion. Jaylin Williams has performed well as the replacement in the starting lineup, and he should be streamed until Harstenstein returns. |

Chet Holmgren Chet Holmgren, Alex Caruso off injury report
Wed, Mar 11, 2026, 12:38 PM
NBA Injury Report
Chet Holmgren (illness) and Alex Caruso (hip) are off the injury report for Thursday's game against the Celtics.
Analysis: Holmgren and Caruso are back after missing Monday's win over the Nuggets. While the latter will slot into the Thunder's bench rotation, the former's return likely pushes Isaiah Joe out of the starting lineup. |

Jaylin Williams Jaylin Williams records 29 points, 12 rebounds
Mon, Mar 9, 2026, 4:23 PM
Jaylin Williams accounted for 29 points (10-of-17 FGs, 2-of-4 FTs), 12 rebounds, three assists, two blocks and seven three-pointers in Monday's win over the Nuggets.
Analysis: As a general rule, JayWill should be considered as a streaming option on nights when Chet Holmgren or Isaiah Hartenstein don't play. On nights when both are out, Williams is a must-roster player. He was outstanding against the Nuggets, shooting 7-of-11 from beyond the arc. The seven triples were a career-high for the former second-round pick, and fantasy managers also benefited from the rebounds, assists and blocked shots. Oklahoma City doesn't play again until Thursday, which may be enough time to get Holmgren and Hartenstein back in the lineup. If not, do not hesitate to pick up Williams. |

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Shai Gilgeous-Alexander drops 35/9/15/1/2 line
Mon, Mar 9, 2026, 4:22 PM
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander recorded 35 points (14-of-21 FGs, 4-of-4 FTs), nine rebounds, 15 assists, one steal, two blocks and three three-pointers in Monday's win over the Nuggets.
Analysis: A thriller in Oklahoma City went down to the wire, with the reigning Most Valuable Player getting the last laugh. Gilgeous-Alexander hit three-pointers on the Thunder's final two possessions, the last giving the reigning champs the 129-126 victory. And he made some history, moving into a tie with Wilt Chamberlain for the most consecutive games with at least 20 points, 126. Add in the career-high 15 assists and nine rebounds, and Monday was another great night for SGA and those who have him on their fantasy rosters. |

Chet Holmgren Chet Holmgren (illness) to remain out vs. Denver
Mon, Mar 9, 2026, 12:39 PM
NBA Injury Report
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 Alex Caruso (hip) out Monday vs. Denver
Mon, Mar 9, 2026, 10:04 AM
NBA Injury Report
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. |
|
Chet Holmgren Chet Holmgren (illness) questionable vs. Denver
Sun, Mar 8, 2026, 12:47 PM
NBA Injury Report
Chet Holmgren (illness) is questionable for Monday's game against the Nuggets.
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. He would take on a similar role if Holmgren can't return on Monday. |
|
Isaiah Hartenstein Isaiah Hartenstein (calf) remains out vs. Denver
Sun, Mar 8, 2026, 12:41 PM
NBA Injury Report
Isaiah Hartenstein (calf) is out for Monday's game against the Nuggets.
Analysis: Due to a left calf contusion, Hartenstein will miss a second straight game. Jaylin Williams moved into the starting lineup for Saturday's win over the Warriors and is productive enough to merit streaming when allowed to start. |
|
Alex Caruso Alex Caruso (hip) questionable vs. Denver
Sun, Mar 8, 2026, 12:39 PM
NBA Injury Report
Alex Caruso (hip) is questionable 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. |
