Chet Holmgren Out On Sunday

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.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Out Again On Sunday

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (shin) won't play on Sunday against the Pelicans. The Thunder stamped their ticket as the No. 1 seed in the Western Conference long ago. As expected, the club will give SGA another game off before OKC begins the hunt for an NBA Championship. The other members of the starting lineup will also sit this one out, so DFS managers could see more double-digit scoring efforts from Isaiah Joe, Aaron Wiggins, Kenrich Williams, and Jaylin Williams.

Isaiah Hartenstein Sidelined For Friday

Oklahoma City Thunder center Isaiah Hartenstein (Achilles) has been ruled out ahead of Friday's game against the Utah Jazz. The big man will miss his second game in a row due to an Achilles injury. The Thunder are resting most of their starters with them already locking up the top seed in the West. It remains to be seen if Hartenstein will suit up for Sunday's game versus the New Orleans Pelicans. For now, Jaylin Williams figures to see an increased role in the rotation with Hartenstein ruled out. Williams offers interesting streaming appeal with Hartenstein unavailable.

Alex Caruso Unavailable On Friday

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Alex Caruso (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Friday's game against the Utah Jazz. Caruso played well on Wednesday, but appears to have picked up a minor ankle injury in the process. The Thunder have already locked up the top seed in the West, so they aren't going to play anyone at less than 100 percent healthy. Caruso will join a handful of other players on the bench as the Thunder are resting most of their starters. That means, Aaron Wiggins and Isaiah Joe are likely to see significant run on Friday.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Takes A Seat On Friday

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (shin) has been ruled out ahead of Friday's game against the Utah Jazz. This marks the second game in a row that Gilgeous-Alexander has missed due to a shin contusion. The Thunder have already locked up the top seed in the West, so they don't have any incentive to play their top players at this point in the season. That being said, Aaron Wiggins, Isaiah Joe, and Ajay Mitchell figure to see plenty of run during Friday's game. None of them are offering much streaming appeal, but Wiggins is probably the best out of the three.

Jaylin Williams Questionable For Tuesday

Oklahoma City Thunder forward/center Jaylin Williams (ankle) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's matchup with the Los Angeles Lakers. Williams could miss his fourth straight game due to a sprained left ankle. Williams's next opportunity to return to the floor is Thursday evening against the Phoenix Suns. If the 22-year-old is unavailable to suit up, Kenrich Williams will likely see more playing time than usual. In his last outing, he finished with five points and two steals across 12 minutes during Sunday's matchup against the Lakers.

Jaylin Williams Back In Thunder Lineup Monday

Oklahoma City Thunder forward/center Jaylin Williams (hip) has been upgraded from questionable to available ahead of Monday's tip-off against the Chicago Bulls. He will be back in the lineup after missing Saturday's contest against the Indiana Pacers due to hip tightness. In each of his last two starts, Williams has posted a triple-double, showing he can be a significant force in fantasy basketball. However, his role on the Thunder team is very limited when Isaiah Hartenstein (hip) and Chet Holmgren (hip) are available.

Isaiah Hartenstein Will Play On Monday

Oklahoma City Thunder center Isaiah Hartenstein (hip) is good to go for Monday's matchup against the Chicago Bulls. After he suffered a hip injury against the Indiana Pacers on Saturday, Hartenstein was initially listed as questionable for Monday. Before being limited by injury against Indiana, Hartenstein had posted five double-doubles in six appearances. He has averaged 12.1 points, 9.6 rebounds, and 1.1 blocks in 27.4 minutes this month. Chicago allows the fourth-most fantasy points in the league to centers, so Hartenstein could be in for a very productive evening.

Chet Holmgren Available Against Bulls

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.

Isaiah Hartenstein Listed As Questionable For Monday

Oklahoma City Thunder center Isaiah Hartenstein (hip) is listed as questionable ahead of Monday's game against the Chicago Bulls. Hartenstein is in danger of missing this game after exiting early on Saturday due to left hip soreness. The Thunder could be in trouble with Chet Holmgren (hip) and Jaylin Williams (hip) also tagged as questionable for Monday. If they sit, Kenrich Williams, Branden Carlson, and Dillon Jones could all see increased roles. Between the three, Williams would be the only player worth considering as a streaming option.

Jaylin Williams Could Miss Monday's Game

Oklahoma City Thunder forward Jaylin Williams (hip) is listed as questionable ahead of Monday's game against the Chicago Bulls. Williams recently suffered a hip injury and is now in danger of missing his second straight game. This comes at a bad time with Chet Holmgren (hip) and Isaiah Hartenstein (hip) both questionable for this game as well. That being said, Kenrich Williams could be looking at big minutes if some of these players are unable to suit up.

Chet Holmgren Uncertain For Monday

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.

Chet Holmgren Ruled Out On Saturday

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.

Cason Wallace  • PG  •  Thunder

Cason Wallace Upgraded To Available Thursday

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Cason Wallace (knee) will rejoin the lineup for Thursday's meeting with the Memphis Grizzlies. He has been cleared for action after missing one game due to a knee contusion. After rolling with the starters in each of his last five appearances, Wallace will come off the bench in Thursday's contest, which will negatively impact his fantasy value. As a reserve, Wallace has averaged 7.1 points, 2.3 rebounds, and 1.6 assists this season.

Jalen Williams  • SF  •  Thunder

Jalen Williams Available Against Grizzlies

Oklahoma City Thunder guard/forward Jalen Williams (hip) will re-enter the lineup on Thursday against the Memphis Grizzlies. The Thunder have been without Williams for a couple of weeks due to a hip problem, but he is finally back in game shape after missing seven contests. Isaiah Joe, Alex Caruso, and Kenrich Williams lose fantasy value with Williams' return. The team may want to ease Williams back into action on Thursday, but he should still be capable of filling the box score due to his all-around ability.

Aaron Wiggins  • SG  •  Thunder

Aaron Wiggins To Remain Out On Thursday

Oklahoma City Thunder guard/forward Aaron Wiggins (Achilles) will skip a second consecutive game on Thursday night against the Memphis Grizzlies. He remains unavailable due to left Achilles tendinitis. Wiggins' absence has allowed Alex Caruso, Isaiah Joe, and Kenrich Williams to be more involved in the action. However, the rotation may change significantly against Memphis, as Jalen Williams (hip) and Cason Wallace (knee) could be back in the mix. Wiggins' next chance to return will be on Saturday against the Indiana Pacers.

Cason Wallace May Miss Another Game Thursday

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Cason Wallace (knee) has been listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. He may be sidelined for a second consecutive contest due to a left knee contusion. Wallace has enjoyed a couple of strong weeks with the Thunder, averaging 11.6 points, 3.5 rebounds, and 2.9 assists in 28.2 minutes this month. Isaiah Joe and Alex Caruso carry additional fantasy value due to Wallace's absence. Both players were effective off the bench on Tuesday night against the Sacramento Kings, combining for 29 points, eight rebounds, and nine assists.

Jalen Williams  • SF  •  Thunder

Jalen Williams Questionable For Thursday

Oklahoma City Thunder guard/forward Jalen Williams (hip) is considered questionable for Thursday's clash against the Memphis Grizzlies. Williams was a game-time decision for Tuesday's tilt against the Sacramento Kings, so he appears to be nearing his return, but the first-year All-Star may remain out for an eighth consecutive game on Thursday. Isaiah Joe, Alex Caruso, and Cason Wallace (knee) receive extra work with Williams sidelined, although Wallace has also run into some health issues and may be absent for a second straight game on Thursday.

Cason Wallace Ruled Out For Tuesday

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Cason Wallace (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Tuesday's game against the Sacramento Kings. Wallace appears to have picked up a left knee contusion during their last game and as a result he'll sit this one out. His absence should mean increased roles for Alex Caruso and Kenrich Williams on Tuesday. Williams will move into the starting unit, but Caruso remains the better streaming option between the two for Tuesday's slate.

Chet Holmgren  • C  •  Thunder

Chet Holmgren Available On Tuesday

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.
