Isaiah Hartenstein Isaiah Hartenstein corrals 20 rebounds vs. WAS
Sat, Mar 21, 2026, 1:58 PM
Isaiah Hartenstein finished Saturday's win over the Wizards with nine points (4-of-7 FGs, 1-of-4 FTs), 20 rebounds, 10 assists and two steals.
Analysis: Hartenstein's struggles at the foul line cost him the second triple-double of his NBA career. Back in the Thunder lineup after missing Wednesday's win over the Nets, the 7-footer was dominant on the glass and also provided excellent value as a playmaker. The Thunder's four-game Week 22 does not have a back-to-back until its conclusion, which should bode well for Hartenstein's availability. |

Chet Holmgren Chet Holmgren records 18 points, 10 rebounds
Sat, Mar 21, 2026, 1:57 PM
Chet Holmgren tallied 18 points (6-of-9 FGs, 6-of-6 FTs), 10 rebounds and two blocks in Saturday's win over the Wizards.
Analysis: Holmgren finished Saturday's victory with his second double-double in three games. An interesting trend recently has been his decreased three-point attempts. Holmgren has attempted a total of five three-pointers over his last three appearances, missing them all. Given what else he brings to the table, this isn't a major problem. However, it is something to watch during Oklahoma City's four-game Week 22. |

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Shai Gilgeous-Alexander goes off for 40 points
Sat, Mar 21, 2026, 1:57 PM
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander accounted for 40 points (17-of-27 FGs, 5-of-8 FTs), three rebounds, seven assists, one steal and one three-pointer in Saturday's win over the Wizards.
Analysis: Gilgeous-Alexander finished Saturday's victory with his seventh 40-point game of the season, shooting well over 50 percent from the field. The foul shooting wasn't the best, but fantasy managers aren't going to lose any sleep over that. Gilgeous-Alexander and the Thunder play four games in Week 22, starting with the 76ers on Monday. |

Jaylin Williams Jaylin Williams, two other Thunder players tossed
Sat, Mar 21, 2026, 12:33 PM
Jaylin Williams, Ajay Mitchell and Cason Wallace were ejected for their roles in an altercation between the Thunder and Wizards.
Analysis: Williams and Washington's Justin Champagnie got into an altercation late in the second quarter, which would eventually involve players from both teams. In addition to those two, Oklahoma City's Ajay Mitchell and Cason Wallace were ejected for escalating the altercation. With the action spilling into the stands, the NBA may hand out a few suspensions in the coming days. |

Clemente Almanza
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Ajay Mitchell, Cason Wallace, Chet Holmgren and Isaiah Hartenstein will start Saturday's game against the Wizards.
Analysis: Hartenstein is back after a one-game absence, but the Thunder remain without Luguentz Dort. Mitchell and Wallace remain with the starters, while Hartenstein's return pushes Aaron Wiggins to the bench. |

Luguentz Dort Luguentz Dort (knee) out Saturday vs. Wizards
Sat, Mar 21, 2026, 6:06 AM
Luguentz Dort (knee) is out for Saturday's game against the Wizards.
Analysis: Dort wasn't on the initial injury report, but has been ruled out with a left knee contusion. Cason Wallace, Isaiah Joe and Jared McCain are all candidates to play a few more minutes in Dort's absence. |

Isaiah Hartenstein Hartenstein (rest) absent from injury report
Fri, Mar 20, 2026, 11:23 AM
NBA Injury Report
Isaiah Hartenstein (rest) is off the injury report for Saturday's game against the Wizards.
Analysis: Hartenstein did not play in Wednesday's win over the Nets, prompting Cason Wallace to move into the starting lineup. Either he or Ajay Mitchell will head to the bench with Hartenstein available. |

Jalen Williams Jalen Williams (hamstring) remains out vs. Wizards

NBA Injury r
Jalen Williams (hamstring) is out for Saturday's game against the Wizards.
Analysis: Williams remains out for another game, one day after hinting via social media that he'll be back playing soon. Ajay Mitchell has started the last three games and is likely to remain in that role on Saturday. Cason Wallace, who started Wednesday's win over the Nets with Isaiah Hartenstein also out. is another potential replacement for J-Dub. |

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. |
