Jalen Williams (hamstring) is out for Saturday's game against the Warriors.
Analysis: Williams, who has not appeared in a game since before the All-Star break, is due to have his strained hamstring re-evaluated soon. Aaron Wiggins and Isaiah Joe have taken on added importance in Williams' absence. |

Isaiah Hartenstein (calf) is out for Saturday's game against the Warriors.
Analysis: Hartenstein is dealing with left calf tightness stemming from an injury he suffered against the Knicks on Wednesday. With the 27-year-old center sidelined, Isaiah Joe and Aaron Wiggins could see more minutes. |

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Gilgeous-Alexander posts 26 points, eight assists
Wed, Mar 4, 2026, 3:49 PM
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander accounted for 26 points (9-of-16 FGs, 7-of-7 FTs), three rebounds, eight assists, one steal and one three-pointer in Wednesday's win over the Knicks.
Analysis: Back in the lineup after sitting out Tuesday's win over the Bulls, Gilgeous-Alexander had an efficient night at the office. He only attempted one three-pointer, but it was a big one, as SGA's hit with 1:18 remaining in the fourth quarter gave Oklahoma City a 103-96 lead. The Knicks could pull no closer than three, missing two attempts to tie the game in the final seconds. The Thunder end their Week 19 on Saturday against the Warriors. |

Wed, Mar 4, 2026, 3:49 PM
Chet Holmgren finished Wednesday's win over the Knicks with 28 points (11-of-19 FGs), eight rebounds, two assists and six three-pointers.
Analysis: Holmgren started Wednesday's game hot, scoring 14 points in the first quarter and finishing the half with 22 points and six three-pointers. The six triples matched his career-high. While Holmgren received more attention from the Knicks in the second half, the final line was excellent, aside from the lack of defensive production. The Thunder don't play again until Saturday when they host the Warriors. |

Wed, Mar 4, 2026, 7:47 AM
NBA Injury Report
Isaiah Hartenstein (calf) is not on the injury report against the Knicks on Wednesday.
Analysis: Hartenstein sat out the first leg of this back-to-back against Chicago but will return to take on New York. That will push Aaron Wiggins to the bench and take away minutes from Jaylin Williams. |

NBA Injury Report
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (core) is not on the injury report ahead of Wednesday's game against the Knicks.
Analysis: SGA sat out against Chicago on Tuesday, but he'll be back to take on New York. Isaiah Joe played well as a starter in his place but will return to playing a reserve role with SGA available. |

Jaylin Williams Jaylin Williams pours in 17/16/6 line off bench
Tue, Mar 3, 2026, 5:59 PM
Jaylin Williams recorded a double-double on Tuesday with 17 points (6-of-11 FGs), 16 rebounds, six assists, one steal and three three-pointers against the Bulls.
Analysis: Williams didn't get the starting nod with Isaiah Hartenstein (calf) sidelined, but he did see a bump in minutes, which allowed him to stuff the stat sheet and set a new season high for rebounds. Williams has been able to pour in the stats when he has gotten the opportunity to play extended minutes this season. However, Hartenstein will likely return to play the Knicks on Wednesday, which will prevent Williams from repeating this performance. |

Isaiah Joe Isaiah Joe scores 19 points as starter vs. Chicago
Tue, Mar 3, 2026, 5:45 PM
Isaiah Joe started on Tuesday and contributed 19 points (7-of-15 FGs), two rebounds, one steal and two three-pointers against the Bulls.
Analysis: With Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (abdominal) and Isaiah Hartenstein (calf) out, Joe returned to the starting unit. This was the first leg of a back-to-back, so he will likely return to the bench against the Knicks on Wednesday. Joe has been excellent over the past month, though most of his strong performances have come as a starter. He isn't consistent enough to be worth streaming in when he's coming off the bench. |

Aaron Wiggins Aaron Wiggins starts, tallies 18/7/4/2/1 line
Tue, Mar 3, 2026, 5:42 PM
Aaron Wiggins started on Tuesday and contributed 18 points (8-of-17 FGs), seven rebounds, four assists, two steals and one block against the Bulls.
Analysis: Wiggins got the starting nod with Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (abdominal) and Isaiah Hartenstein (calf) sidelined for the first leg of OKC's back-to-back. He was able to have a solid game, which helped OKC get the win on the road. He'll likely head back to the bench for Wednesday's game against the Knicks, which will eliminate the streaming value he held in this game. |

Aaron Wiggins OKC starting Wallace, Joe, Wiggins, Dort, Holmgren
Tue, Mar 3, 2026, 1:44 PM
Brandon Rahbar
Cason Wallace, Isaiah Joe, Aaron Wiggins, Luguentz Dort and Chet Holmgren will start against the Bulls on Tuesday.
Analysis: Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (abdominal) and Isaiah Hartenstein (calf) are both sidelined for this game, which is the first leg of a back-to-back. They will likely be back to take on the Knicks on Wednesday, but Joe and Wiggins will start in their place for this game. |

Isaiah Hartenstein Isaiah Hartenstein (calf) ruled out vs. Chicago
Mon, Mar 2, 2026, 12:27 PM
NBA Injury Report
Isaiah Hartenstein (calf) is out for Tuesday's game against the Bulls.
Analysis: Hartenstein is not at the point where he's allowed to play both games of back-to-backs, so the decision to sit him on Tuesday was likely done with Wednesday's game against the Knicks in mind. Chet Holmgren will be available against Chicago, so he'll pick up some of the slack. Hartenstein's absence also means more playing time for Jaylin Williams, who is worthy of streaming consideration. |

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Gilgeous-Alexander (core) ruled out vs. Chicago
Mon, Mar 2, 2026, 12:22 PM
NBA Injury Report
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (core) is out for Tuesday's game against the Bulls.
Analysis: The Thunder open their Week 19 schedule with a back-to-back against the Bulls and Knicks, so it's unsurprising that some key players will sit out the former for injury management reasons. Gilgeous-Alexander's absence makes Cason Wallace a more attractive fantasy option in shallow formats, while Jared McCain will be worth a look in some 14-team leagues. |

Chet Holmgren Chet Holmgren records 19/9/1/2/2 line vs. Dallas
Sun, Mar 1, 2026, 4:20 PM
Chet Holmgren finished Sunday's win over the Mavericks with 19 points (8-of-14 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), nine rebounds, one assist, two steals, two blocks and one three-pointer.
Analysis: While Holmgren didn't set the scoreboard on fire with his 19-point effort, Sunday's victory was his highest-scoring game since dropping 20 in a January 27 win over the Pelicans. Even better for fantasy managers is that he shot the ball well against the Mavericks while also recording a complete stat line. With Chet having sat out one game of the Thunder's most recent back-to-back, that could also be the case for Oklahoma City's games against Chicago (Tuesday) and New York (Wednesday) to begin Week 19. |

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Shai Gilgeous-Alexander scores game-high 30 points
Sun, Mar 1, 2026, 4:19 PM
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander tallied 30 points (12-of-20 FGs, 5-of-6 FTs), four rebounds, five assists, four steals and one three-pointer in Sunday's win over the Mavericks.
Analysis: After logging 34 minutes in his first game back from an abdominal strain that sidelined him for just over three weeks, Gilgeous-Alexander played 33 minutes on Sunday. The reigning MVP clearly isn't under a strict minutes limit, but the Thunder aren't going to push him too far. Gilgeous-Alexander still put up 30 points on 60 percent shooting from the field, and his final stat line only lacked a blocked shot. Oklahoma City's three-game Week 19 starts with a back-to-back on Tuesday and Wednesday, so SGA may be limited to two appearances. |

Isaiah Hartenstein Isaiah Hartenstein posts 9/8/5/2/2 line vs. DEN
Fri, Feb 27, 2026, 6:52 PM
Isaiah Hartenstein recorded nine points (4-of-6 FGs, 1-of-2 FTs), eight rebounds, five assists, two steals and two blocks in Friday's win over the Nuggets.
Analysis: Hartenstein remains under a restriction, so he joined Shai Gilgeous-Alexander on the bench in overtime after logging 25 minutes. The 7-footer was productive while on the floor, filling the stat sheet while shooting 66.7 percent from the field. As long as Hartenstein's workload is restricted, Jaylin Williams (21 points, five rebounds, three assists, one block and two three-pointers in 26 minutes) will be worth a look in deeper leagues. |

Chet Holmgren Chet Holmgren grabs career-high 21 rebounds
Fri, Feb 27, 2026, 6:52 PM
Chet Holmgren tallied 15 points (5-of-8 FGs, 4-of-6 FTs), 21 rebounds, three assists, one steal, three blocks and one three-pointer in Friday's win over the Nuggets.
Analysis: With Shai Gilgeous-Alexander back in the Thunder lineup, Holmgren's scoring opportunities took a hit on Friday. However, there's more than one way to affect a game. Holmgren was outstanding on the glass, as he recorded his first 20-rebound game, while also blocking three shots. The lone concern for Sunday's game against the Mavericks is that Oklahoma City gets up big early, as that would likely mean fewer minutes for Holmgren and the other starters. |
