Chet Holmgren Chet Holmgren corrals 12 rebounds vs. San Antonio
Thu, Dec 25, 2025, 11:10 AM
Chet Holmgren finished Thursday's loss to the Spurs with 10 points (5-of-9 FGs, 0-of-2 FTs), 12 rebounds, two assists and one blocked shot.
Analysis: Holmgren's two games against the Spurs this week were a struggle. In the defeats, he totaled 17 points, 15 rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one three-pointer. While the Thunder certainly have the depth to compensate for the occasional off night, the matchup with San Antonio has proven to be one in which the champs need all hands on deck (the Spurs are 3-0 against OKC this season). Holmgren will look to bounce back on Sunday against the 76ers, but that's the first game of a back-to-back. Hopefully, he can play both contests. |

Isaiah Hartenstein Isaiah Hartenstein records 13/12/3/1 stat line
Thu, Dec 25, 2025, 11:10 AM
Isaiah Hartenstein accumulated 13 points (5-of-7 FGs, 3-of-4 FTs), 12 rebounds, three assists and one steal in Thursday's loss to the Spurs.
Analysis: Hartenstein finished Thursday's defeat with his eighth double-double of the season and first since November 15. The lingering concern is his availability, with Hartenstein still working his way back from a strained calf. Before Thursday, he had not appeared in consecutive games since November 23-26. For that reason, fantasy managers should anticipate Hartenstein sitting out one of Oklahoma City's next two games, Sunday against Philadelphia or Monday against Atlanta. |

Jalen Williams Jalen Williams dishes out six assists vs. Spurs
Thu, Dec 25, 2025, 11:09 AM
Jalen Williams amassed 12 points (5-of-13 FGs, 1-of-4 FTs), two rebounds, six assists, two steals and one three-pointer in Thursday's loss to the Spurs.
Analysis: Williams struggled with his shot on Thursday, as he continues to work his way back from right wrist surgery. There are still some range-of-motion issues for the Thunder forward, but the percentages haven't suffered too much. Thursday was the exception, as Williams shot the ball poorly from the field and the foul line. There should not be any concern on the part of fantasy managers, as J-Dub is providing top-50 value in nine-cat formats. |

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Shai Gilgeous-Alexander scores 22 in loss to Spurs
Thu, Dec 25, 2025, 11:09 AM
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander finished Thursday's loss to the Spurs with 22 points (7-of-19 FGs, 7-of-8 FTs), six rebounds, four assists, one steal and one three-pointer.
Analysis: After dropping 33 points in Tuesday's blowout loss to the Spurs, Gilgeous-Alexander was kept in check by San Antonio in Thursday's rematch. He remains one of the best players to have rostered in fantasy basketball, but the San Antonio matchup has proven to be a challenging one for SGA and the Thunder. He'll look to bounce back Sunday against the 76ers. |

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander SGA's 33-point effort not enough in loss to Spurs
Tue, Dec 23, 2025, 4:59 PM
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander erupted for 33 points (14-of-22 FGs, 4-of-5 FTs), three rebounds and eight assists during Tuesday's loss to the Spurs.
Analysis: Gilgeous-Alexander got into a groove early, hitting 7-of-10 from the floor in the first half, and eclipsed the lofty 30-point plateau for the fourth consecutive contest and sixth time in eight games since the start of December. The injury-depleted Thunder hold a league-best 26-4 mark this season but have dropped three of their last five games They'll attempt to get back on track with a rematch against the Spurs on Christmas Day in Oklahoma City. |

Tue, Dec 23, 2025, 2:10 PM
NBA Lineups
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Luguentz Dort, Jalen Williams, Chet Holmgren and Isaiah Hartenstein will start Tuesday's game against the Spurs.
Analysis: Holmgren and Hartenstein are back after sitting out Monday's win over the Grizzlies. Their returns mean that Cason Wallace and Branden Carlson head to the bench. While Wallace will remain in the rotation, there's a high likelihood that Carlson will not. |

Tue, Dec 23, 2025, 9:01 AM
NBA Injury Report
Chet Holmgren (back) is off the injury report for Tuesday's matchup with the Spurs.

Jalen Williams Jalen Williams tallies 24 points, six rebounds
Mon, Dec 22, 2025, 6:00 PM
NBA
Jalen Williams recorded 24 points (10-of-20 FGs, 3-of-4 FTs), six rebounds, two assists and one three-pointer in Monday's win over the Grizzlies.
Analysis: Williams' 24 points were one shy of his season-high, and he's provided fourth-round value in eight-cat formats since making his season debut on November 28. The good news for fantasy managers is that J-Dub has played both games of a back-to-back since returning, and that should bode well for his availability for Tuesday's game against the Spurs. That's the first of three games Oklahoma City will play during the remainder of Week 10. |

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Shai Gilgeous-Alexander scores 31, makes history
Mon, Dec 22, 2025, 6:00 PM
NBA
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander finished Monday's win over the Grizzlies with 31 points (11-of-20 FGs, 6-of-6 FTs), 10 rebounds, eight assists, four steals, one block and three three-pointers.
Analysis: The Thunder have won their last 11 regular-season meetings with the Grizzlies, and Gilgeous-Alexander once again led the way on Monday. With Chet Holmgren and Isaiah Hartenstein out due to injury, SGA carried a little more of the offensive workload, finishing with his 22nd game of 30 points or more this season. And he made some history, joining Wilt Chamberlain as the only players in league history to score at least 20 points in 100 consecutive games. SGA and the Thunder will likely encounter more resistance on Tuesday when they visit the Spurs. |

NBA Injury Report
Aaron Wiggins (adductor) is out for Monday's game against the Grizzlies.
Analysis: Initially questionable for Monday's game, Wiggins has been ruled out. This will be the second straight game that he's missed, which means additional minutes for fellow reserves Ayay Mitchell and Isaiah Joe. The former has been the more valuable option in fantasy leagues this season. |

Mon, Dec 22, 2025, 7:43 AM
NBA Injury Report
Chet Holmgren (back) is sidelined for Monday's matchup with the Grizzlies.
Analysis: Holmgren will join Isaiah Hartenstein and Jaylin Williams on the sideline, which should lead to additional playing time for Branden Carlson. Oklahoma City could opt to go small, with Jalen Williams and Cason Wallace handling additional responsibilities. |

Chet Holmgren Chet Holmgren (back) questionable Monday vs. MEM
Sun, Dec 21, 2025, 1:31 PM
NBA Injury Report
Chet Holmgren (back) is questionable for Monday's game against the Grizzlies.
Analysis: Holmgren is dealing with lower back spasms and is not guaranteed to be available for Monday's game. The Thunder are also in action Tuesday, so the 7-foot-1 forward/center may have been ruled out for one of the next two, even if he were healthy. With Isaiah Hartenstein and Jaylin Williams already out, Branden Carlson may pick up rotation minutes on Monday. |

Sun, Dec 21, 2025, 1:25 PM
NBA Injury Report
Isaiah Hartenstein (calf) is out for Monday's game against the Grizzlies.
Analysis: Monday's game is the first of two in as many nights for the Thunder, so Hartenstein won't play as he continues to work his way back from a calf injury. Cason Wallace should return to the starting lineup, raising his fantasy ceiling while shifting Chet Holmgren to the five. |

Ousmane Dieng Ousmane Dieng (calf) out Monday vs. Memphis
Sun, Dec 21, 2025, 1:22 PM
NBA Injury Report
Ousmane Dieng (calf) is out for Monday's game against the Grizzlies.
Analysis: Dieng's absence does not affect fantasy basketball, as he does not play consistent rotation minutes. He should only be rostered in dynasty leagues. |
|
Alex Caruso Alex Caruso (finger) questionable Monday vs. MEM
Sun, Dec 21, 2025, 1:18 PM
NBA Injury Report
Alex Caruso (finger) is questionable for Monday's game against the Grizzlies.
Analysis: Caruso has a sprained middle finger on his right hand, which is why he appears on the injury report. With the Thunder also playing on Tuesday, this may be viewed as an opportunity to get the veteran guard a night off. If Caruso sits, Ajay Mitchell and Cason Wallace will figure more prominently in the rotation. |
