Aaron Wiggins Aaron Wiggins hits three triples, scores 17 points
Wed, Mar 18, 2026, 4:11 PM
Aaron Wiggins finished Wednesday's win over the Nets with 17 points (7-of-16 FGs), seven rebounds, three assists, two steals and three three-pointers.
Analysis: With Luguentz Dort and Isaiah Hartenstein sidelined, Wiggins and Cason Wallace moved into the starting lineup on Wednesday. Wiggins had a good night shooting the basketball, making three of his seven attempts from beyond the arc while recording a stat line that only lacked a blocked shot. While Wallace wasn't as productive offensively, his final line included three steals and two blocks. The fantasy upsides of Wiggins and Wallace depend on the availability of the Thunder starters; both are worthwhile streamers when the team is shorthanded, albeit for different reasons. |

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Shai Gilgeous-Alexander plays 26 minutes vs. BKN
Wed, Mar 18, 2026, 4:10 PM
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander accounted for 20 points (8-of-9 FGs, 4-of-5 FTs), three rebounds, six assists and three steals in Wednesday's win over the Nets.
Analysis: At halftime, the Thunder led Wednesday's game by a score of 60-24. At that point, most fantasy managers knew that they wouldn't see much of Gilgeous-Alexander in the second half. He played 26 minutes, long enough to extend his streak of games with at least 20 points to 130. A lighter workload due to the game being a blowout could also be an issue for SGA in Oklahoma City's final game of Week 21, as they visit the Wizards on Saturday. |

Aaron Wiggins OKC starts SGA, Mitchell, Wallace, Wiggins, Chet
Wed, Mar 18, 2026, 1:19 PM
NBA Lineups
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Ajay Mitchell, Cason Wallace, Aaron Wiggins and Chet Holmgren will start Wednesday's game against the Nets.
Analysis: The Thunder won't have Luguentz Dort or Isaiah Hartenstein for Wednesday's game, opening up two spots in the starting lineup. Wiggins and Wallace move into the starting five, making both players worthwhile streaming options in some 12-team leagues, given the matchup. |

Isaiah Hartenstein Hartenstein (rest) will not play versus Nets
Wed, Mar 18, 2026, 7:33 AM
Isaiah Hartenstein (rest) will not play on Wednesday against the Nets.
Analysis: Hartenstein played in the last two games after missing three games with a calf injury, so he will get an injury maintenance day on Wednesday. With Chet Holmgren (hip) also questionable to play, the Thunder could rely heavily on Jaylin Williams in the frontcourt in this one. |
|
Luguentz Dort Dort will get a rest day on Wednesday
Wed, Mar 18, 2026, 7:31 AM
Luguentz Dort (rest) will not play on Wednesday against the Nets.
Analysis: This is the second game of a back-to-back, and the Thunder will sit out a few of their key rotation players, including Dort. That will likely mean more minutes for Cason Wallace, Isaiah Joe, and Jared McCain; although, Dort hasn't surpassed 20 minutes in either of the last two games. |

Jalen Williams Williams (hamstring) remains out on Wednesday
Wed, Mar 18, 2026, 7:28 AM
Jalen Williams (hamstring) is out for Wednesday's game against the Nets.
Analysis: Williams was listed as questionable for this one, but the team decided not to bring him back against the Nets. The 24-year-old has not played in a game since February 11th, but there is a chance that he could return over the weekend against the Wizards. |

Chet Holmgren Holmgren tallies double-double vs. Orlando
Tue, Mar 17, 2026, 4:26 PM
Chet Holmgren recorded a double-double on Tuesday with 20 points (8-of-14 FGs), 12 rebounds, one assist and one block against the Magic.
Analysis: After two straight games finishing with nine rebounds, Holmgren finally got over the hump to record a double-double and have his highest rebounding total in a game this month. Blocks have been one of his strongest categories this year, but he has just two total blocks over his last four games. Keep an eye on the injury report ahead of Wednesday's game against the Nets. On the second night of a back-to-back, he could certainly get the night off. |

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander SGA drops 40 points in win over Orlando
Tue, Mar 17, 2026, 4:20 PM
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander led the Thunder with 40 points (14-of-27 FGs, 9-of-11 FTs), five rebounds, two assists, four steals and three three-pointers in a 113-108 win over the Magic on Tuesday.
Analysis: After barely keeping his 20-point streak alive on Sunday, SGA left nothing to chance in this one to help OKC win its ninth straight game. This was his first 40-point game since January and came at the right time for fantasy managers in the playoffs. It's worth noting that SGA hasn't played in a back-to-back since early January, and they take on the tanking Nets on Wednesday. He has only missed one opportunity to play both legs of a back-to-back since then, but managers should still pay close attention to Wednesday's injury report. |

Jalen Williams Jalen Williams (hamstring) to remain out vs. ORL
Mon, Mar 16, 2026, 10:08 AM
NBA Injury Report
Jalen Williams (hamstring) is out for Tuesday's game against the Magic.
Analysis: While Williams has reached the point where he's day-to-day, he is not ready to appear in games. Ajay Mitchell was the fifth starter for Sunday's win over the Timberwolves; he or Cason Wallace stands to fill that role until Williams is healthy enough to play. |

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) in lighting it up. 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. |
