Chet Holmgren Chet Holmgren puts up 17/15/4/1/3 line vs. Cavs
Sun, Feb 22, 2026, 10:03 AM
Chet Holmgren recorded a double-double on Sunday with 17 points (5-of-14 FGs, 6-of-9 FTs), 15 rebounds, four assists, one steal, three blocks and one three-pointer in a 121-113 win over the Cavaliers.
Analysis: This was an impressive showing for Holmgren, especially against the Cavs. He dominated the glass against Jarrett Allen and Evan Mobley while matching his season high for boards. He still supplied his typical dose of buckets and blocks as well, but it was his effort on the glass that stood out. He has recorded a double-double in five of his last seven games, which is the type of effort they'll need to stay afloat with Jalen Williams and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander sidelined. |

Cason Wallace Cason Wallace dishes out career-high 10 assists
Sun, Feb 22, 2026, 9:48 AM
Cason Wallace recorded a double-double on Sunday with 20 points (7-of-17 FGs), four rebounds, 10 assists, three steals and four three-pointers against the Cavaliers.
Analysis: With Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (abdominal) still sidelined, Wallace has taken on extra usage as the lead ball handler. In this game, that led to him setting a new career high for assists. His last few games prior to this one had been rough, but he had a few other strong performances with SGA out before that. SGA will miss at least two more games before he is re-evaluated, so Wallace should continue to occupy a high-usage role. |

Isaiah Joe Isaiah Joe swipes five steals, hits six triples
Sun, Feb 22, 2026, 9:45 AM
Isaiah Joe lit up the Cavaliers with 22 points (6-of-13 FGs), two rebounds, three assists, five steals and six three-pointers on Sunday.
Analysis: Joe got off to an incredibly hot start to this game, recording five steals and knocking down three triples in the first quarter. This was just the second time in NBA history a player achieved those marks in a single quarter, with David Wesley also doing it in 1997. He is more than capable of getting hot from deep, but the steals haven't been there consistently. However, he has been excellent recently, scoring in double figures in seven of his last eight games. |

Alex Caruso Alex Caruso (ankle) ruled out vs. Cleveland
Sat, Feb 21, 2026, 12:16 PM
NBA Injury Report
Alex Caruso (ankle) is out for Sunday's game against the Cavaliers.
Analysis: Caruso sprained his left ankle during Friday's win over the Nets and did not return. His absence makes Isaiah Joe and Jared McCain players of greater importance among the Thunder reserves, especially with Ajay Mitchell also out. |

Chet Holmgren Chet Holmgren adds 15 points, seven boards Friday
Fri, Feb 20, 2026, 5:58 PM
Chet Holmgren logged 15 points (3-of-6 FGs, 7-of-7 FTs), seven rebounds, two assists and two three-pointers in the win over the Nets on Friday.
Analysis: Holmgren didn't log any blocks or steals against the Nets, but was still able to put together a decent performance from a fantasy standpoint. Almost half of his scoring came from the free-throw line, and he went perfect on his two attempts from beyond the arc before concluding as the Thunder's second-leading scorer on Friday. Holmgren's 26 minutes of game action likely prevented him from achieving a stronger stat line. He'll have a chance to be more productive on Sunday against the Cavaliers. |

Isaiah Hartenstein Isaiah Hartenstein posts 10/8/4/1/2 line Friday
Fri, Feb 20, 2026, 5:49 PM
Isaiah Hartenstein added 10 points (4-of-6 FGs, 2-of-4 FTs), eight rebounds, four assists, one steal and two blocks in Friday's win over the Nets.
Analysis: Hartenstein returned from a calf injury and logged 24 minutes in OKC's win over Brooklyn. In his time on the floor, he led all Thunder players in rebounds and blocks, while finishing the game as one of five OKC players to score in double figures. Hartenstein's production on Friday was about where it's been throughout the season. He's capable of more, but fantasy managers should expect him to stick around these numbers that fall pretty close to his averages. |

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander SGA (abdominal) to be re-evaluated in one week
Thu, Feb 19, 2026, 12:24 PM
Rylan Stiles
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (abdominal) will be re-evaluated in one week.
Analysis: Gilgeous-Alexander missed Oklahoma City's final five games before the All-Star break with an abdominal strain. Thursday's update means the reigning league MVP will miss at least four more games before he's re-evaluated. Cason Wallace has taken on a more prominent role in the Thunder rotation, and minutes have also been available for Jared McCain. Wallace is the superior fantasy option and should be rostered in 12-team leagues. |

Jalen Williams Jalen Williams (hamstring) to miss next two weeks
Thu, Feb 19, 2026, 12:22 PM
Brett Siegel
Jalen Williams (hamstring) will be re-evaluated in two weeks.
Analysis: Williams is dealing with a right hamstring strain that will keep him sidelined for the next two weeks, at which point he'll be re-evaluated. Until then Jaylin Williams will continue to see a bump in playing time. |

Isaiah Joe Isaiah Joe has 17 points, four threes in loss
Thu, Feb 12, 2026, 4:08 PM
Isaiah Joe had 17 points (5-of-11 FGs, 3-of-3 FTs), four rebounds, two assists and four three-pointers in Thursday's loss to the Bucks.
Analysis: Joe continues to pick up some of the slack with Shai Gilgeous-Alexander out. The 26-year-old guard has shown over the last six games that he's not going to contribute much in the other categories, but he can provide 17 points and three three-pointers every night. Joe will have value as long as this arrangement and his solid play continue. |

Isaiah Joe OKC starts Wallace, Joe, Dort, Williams and Chet
Thu, Feb 12, 2026, 1:22 PM
Thunder will start Cason Wallace, Isaiah Joe, Luguentz Dort, Kenrich Williams and Chet Holmgren on Thursday against the Bucks.
Analysis: With Isaiah Hartenstein (injury management) and Jalen Williams (hamstring) ruled out, Isaiah Joe and Kenrich Williams will slide into the starting lineup Thursday against the Bucks. Joe has averaged 17 points, 3.6 three-pointers and shot 54.5 percent from the field over his last five games. |

Isaiah Hartenstein Isaiah Hartenstein (calf) out Thursday vs. Bucks
Thu, Feb 12, 2026, 9:44 AM
NBA Injury Report
Isaiah Hartenstein (calf) is out for Thursday's matchup with the Bucks.
Analysis: Hartenstein will get the night off for the second leg of Oklahoma City's back-to-back set, which means Chet Holmgren should shoulder the load at center. Jaylin Williams will likely see a big bump in playing time, as Jalen Williams is also out. |

Jalen Williams Jalen Williams (hamstring) out Thursday vs. Bucks
Thu, Feb 12, 2026, 8:59 AM
NBA Injury Report
Jalen Williams (hamstring) is out for Thursday's matchup with Milwaukee.
Analysis: J-Dub went off for 28 points in Wednesday's win over the Suns, but he'll sit out the second leg of OKC's back-to-back set. He's still not playing a full allotment of minutes, so his absence isn't surprising. Fantasy managers will hope that Williams can use the time off to get healthy for the final stretch of the season. |

Isaiah Joe Isaiah Joe scores 21 points with six triples
Wed, Feb 11, 2026, 6:33 PM
Isaiah Joe provided a boost off the bench with 21 points (6-of-10 FGs), one rebound, one assist and six three-pointers on Wednesday against the Suns.
Analysis: Joe was the leading scorer for OKC's bench unit in this game, but it was a group effort to get the big win. Seven players scored in double figures for the Thunder, including five reserves. The bench unit accounted for 74 of OKC's 136 points, with Joe leading the way in just 18 minutes. Joe is an elite shooter that can have performances like his when he gets the opportunity, but the minutes haven't been consistent enough for him to be a standard league option. |

Jalen Williams Jalen Williams scores efficient 28 points in win
Wed, Feb 11, 2026, 6:26 PM
Clemente Almanza
Jalen Williams led the Thunder with 28 points (11-of-12 FGs), four rebounds, five assists and two three-pointers in a 136-109 win over the Suns on Wednesday.
Analysis: Williams struggled with his shot on Monday, which was his first game after missing nearly a month with a hamstring injury. However, he was incredibly efficient during his 20 minutes in this game. He only missed one shot in the blowout win. This was the first leg of a back-to-back, so there is certainly a chance that Williams sits out against the Bucks on Thursday, especially after exiting to get his hamstring attended to. |

Isaiah Joe Isaiah Joe contributes 19/3/2/2 line off bench
Mon, Feb 9, 2026, 7:02 PM
Isaiah Joe provided a boost off the bench with 19 points (6-of-13 FGs), three rebounds, two assists, two steals and four three-pointers against the Lakers on Monday.
Analysis: Joe has been red-hot recently, though only as a reserve. Over his last four games, he has averaged 20.7 points in the three games he came off the bench and scored just two points in his lone start. Joe has taken on more minutes due to the all the injuries in the backcourt and has been a decent streaming option as of late. He'll look to stay hot against the Suns on Wednesday. |

Jalen Williams Jalen Williams scores 23 points in return
Mon, Feb 9, 2026, 6:58 PM
Jalen Williams returned to the lineup on Monday and contributed 23 points (6-of-17 FGs, 11-of-13 FTs), three rebounds, one assist and one steal in a 119-110 win over the Lakers.
Analysis: After missing nearly a month with a hamstring injury, Williams was back in the lineup against Los Angeles. He was limited to 24 minutes, but he was able to make a strong impact despite a subpar shooting night. Nearly half his points came from the free throw line, which helped make up for his field goal percentage. Williams is typically able to contribute more value than he did in this game, but this was about getting him back on the floor. He'll likely continue to have his minutes managed and should miss back-to-backs. OKC plays in Phoenix on Wednesday and against the Bucks on Thursday; expect Williams to play against the Suns. |

Jalen Williams OKC starts Wallace, Dort, J-Dub, Holmgren, iHart
Mon, Feb 9, 2026, 3:45 PM
NBA Lineups
Cason Wallace, Luguentz Dort, Jalen Williams, Chet Holmgren and Isaiah Hartenstein will start Monday's game against the Lakers.
Analysis: Monday's game is the first for J-Dub since January 17, when he strained his hamstring during a loss to the Heat. Due to Williams' return, Aaron Wiggins will come off the bench, with his fantasy value taking a hit. |

Jalen Williams Jalen Williams (hamstring) off injury report
Sun, Feb 8, 2026, 3:42 PM
NBA Injury Report
Jalen Williams (hamstring) is not on the injury report for Monday's game against the Lakers.
Analysis: Injured during a January 17 loss to the Heat, Williams has been removed from the Thunder injury report for Monday's game. For Oklahoma City's most recent game, a February 7 loss to the Rockets, Aaron Wiggins was the fifth starter. Either he or Cason Wallace will head to the bench if the Thunder put J-Dub into the starting five immediately. |

Chet Holmgren Chet Holmgren has double-double in loss Saturday
Sat, Feb 7, 2026, 12:39 PM
Chet Holmgren had 17 points (5-of-10 FGs, 6-of-8 FTs), 14 rebounds and one three-pointer in Saturday's loss to the Rockets.
Analysis: Holmgren missed Wednesday's loss to the Spurs with a back injury, but this is his second double-double in a row going back to Tuesday's win over the Magic. The 23-year-old center has provided fifth-round per game value over the last two weeks, according to Basketball Monster. The Thunder have four games upcoming in Week 17, starting with a matchup against the Lakers on the road on Monday. |

Cason Wallace Cason Wallace has 23/4/4 line in loss to Rockets
Sat, Feb 7, 2026, 12:36 PM
Cason Wallace had 23 points (10-of-16 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), four rebounds, four assists, four steals and one three-pointer in Saturday's loss to the Rockets.
Analysis: Wallace continues to produce with the Thunder missing Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, who is out through the All-Star break at least. The 22-year-old guard led the Thunder with 23 points on 16 attempts and chipped in four rebounds and four assists. He also had four steals. Wallace is worth rostering in most leagues until SGA returns. |
