Oklahoma City Thunder forward/center Chet Holmgren (back) won't play on Sunday versus the Pelicans. He'll miss another game because of low back spasms. But, truth be told, Holmgren will sit this one out to rest before OKC enters the postseason as the top seed in the Western Conference. Isaiah Hartenstein (Achilles) is also out, meaning Aaron Wiggins, Kenrich Williams, and Jaylin Williams should remain involved after combining for 68 points on Friday night.
Oklahoma City Thunder forward/center Chet Holmgren (hip) will play against the Chicago Bulls on Monday. Initially, Holmgren was considered questionable for the game, but the team has upgraded his status to available. Holmgren has missed two of the last four contests as he manages a hip injury. The uniquely talented big man has averaged 14.1 points, 8.6 rebounds, and 1.6 blocks in 29.2 minutes this month. Chicago boasts the third-highest pace in the league but has one of the worst defensive records, making this a good fantasy matchup for Holmgren.
Oklahoma City Thunder forward/center Chet Holmgren (hip) is listed as questionable ahead of Monday's game against the Chicago Bulls. This has been frustrating for fantasy managers as Holmgren has been in and out of the lineup lately. He continues to nurse a left hip injury and the Thunder are going to be cautious with him because the playoffs are quickly approaching. The Thunder are fairly banged up, so it's unclear who exactly would benefit at the moment. If he sits, Isaiah Hartenstein (hip), Kenrich Williams, and Jaylin Williams (hip) all stand to gain value.
Oklahoma City Thunder forward/center Chet Holmgren (hip) won't play on Saturday against the Pacers. The 22-year-old missed a few months earlier in the season because of a hip injury, so the team has given him time off sporadically since he returned to the lineup in February. With OKC having already locked up the top spot in the Western Conference, Holmgren may get even more time off moving ahead in preparation for a deep postseason run. Isaiah Hartenstein will likely slide into the starting lineup, with the former Knick averaging 11.4 points, 11.1 rebounds, and 1.1 blocks in 48 starts this season. Kenrich Williams and Jaylin Williams may also see more action from off the bench.
Oklahoma City Thunder forward/center Chet Holmgren (hip) is available to play ahead of Tuesday's game against the Sacramento Kings. Holmgren appears ready to go after missing Sunday's contest due to the hip issue. There is no word on Holmgren being limited, but his minutes have fluctuated recently anyway. Fantasy managers in season-long formats can get Holmgren back into their lineups on Tuesday. Alex Caruso will head to the bench, but should still have a significant role with the second unit.
Oklahoma City Thunder forward/center Chet Holmgren (hip) may be sidelined for a second consecutive game on Tuesday against the Sacramento Kings, as the team lists him as questionable on the injury report. Holmgren was a late scratch on Sunday against the Los Angeles Clippers due to a left hip strain, and he could miss additional time because of the injury. With Holmgren out on Sunday, Alex Caruso made a rare start and delivered a solid two-way performance, finishing with 14 points, six rebounds, five assists, and two steals. Additionally, Holmgren's absence creates more playing opportunities for Jaylin Williams and Kenrich Williams.
Oklahoma City Thunder forward/center Chet Holmgren (rest) will return to the lineup on Sunday against the Milwaukee Bucks. The team has not included him on the injury report after Holmgren was rested for Saturday's game against the Detroit Pistons. Kenrich Williams got the start in Holmgren's place and did a decent job with a 10-point, five-rebound effort. He will likely return to the second unit for Sunday's game. In his most recent outing, Holmgren had a big performance against the Boston Celtics, recording 23 points, 15 rebounds, two assists, and one block in a 118-112 win.
Oklahoma City Thunder center Chet Holmgren (rest) is out on Saturday against the Pistons. After spending nearly two months on the shelf, the 22-year-old has sat out at least one game in back-to-back contests, so he'll likely be good to go on Sunday versus Milwaukee. Jalen Williams (hip) is still out while Aaron Wiggins (illness) is questionable. As such, Isaiah Hartenstein and Kenrich Williams may take care of business at the four and five spots while getting more scoring opportunities behind Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Luguentz Dort.
Oklahoma City Thunder forward/center Chet Holmgren (lower leg) will not play in Friday's contest against the Portland Trail Blazers. He will sit out a second consecutive game due to a right lower leg contusion. This means that the Thunder will head out on Friday without any of its regular starters available. As a result, we can expect some unusual stat lines. Jaylin Williams and Kenrich Williams will directly benefit from Holmgren's absence. OKC should be back to full strength on Sunday versus the Denver Nuggets.
Oklahoma City Thunder forward/center Chet Holmgren (lower leg) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. He may be out for a second consecutive game due to a right lower leg contusion. If Holmgren doesn't play, the Thunder will have all their regular starters out on Friday. Jaylin Williams, Kenrich Williams, Branden Carlson, and Dillon Jones will presumably pick up the available frontcourt minutes.
