Isaiah Joe recorded 20 points (8-of-14 FGs), four rebounds and four three-pointers in Sunday’s win over the Timberwolves.

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). 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

OKC Center-Forward #55

Isaiah Hartenstein (calf) went scoreless (0-of-3 FGs), with 12 rebounds, three assists and two blocks in Sunday’s win over the Timberwolves.

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

OKC Guard #2

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.

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.
Chet Holmgren

OKC Center-Forward #7

Chet Holmgren tallied 21 points (9-of-13 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), nine rebounds, two assists, three steals, one block and one three-pointer in Sunday’s win over the Timberwolves.

With reigning MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander struggling for most of Sunday’s game, it was up to the Thunder’s “supporting cast” to pick up the slack. Holmgren led the way with 21 points as part of a complete stat line. Oklahoma City’s three-game Week 21 begins with a back-to-back, making it possible that fantasy managers can only count on Holmgren for two games. Since the All-Star break, the 7-foot-1 forward/center has been a second-round player in eight- and nine-cat formats.
Ajay Mitchell

OKC Guard #25

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Ajay Mitchell, Luguentz Dort, Chet Holmgren and Isaiah Hartenstein will start Sunday’s game against the Timberwolves.

Hartenstein is back in the Thunder starting lineup after missing the last three games. However, it’s Cason Wallace who heads to the bench, with Mitchell remaining in the starting lineup. Managers who have rostered Wallace should hold onto him, as he will still play quality minutes.
Isaiah Hartenstein

OKC Center-Forward #55

Isaiah Hartenstein (calf) is available for Sunday’s game against the Timberwolves.

Hartenstein is back after a three-game absence with a left calf contusion. His return is likely to push Ajay Mitchell to the bench, but the second-year guard should play enough to remain valuable in deep leagues.
Branden Carlson

OKC Center #15

Branden Carlson (back) is out for Sunday’s game against the Timberwolves.

Carlson’s continued absence does not affect fantasy basketball, as he is not guaranteed rotation minutes when healthy.
Jalen Williams

OKC Guard-Forward #8

Jalen Williams (hamstring) is out for Sunday’s game against the Timberwolves.

Williams has not appeared in a game since February 11. Cason Wallace has been the replacement in the starting lineup, and that should remain the case as long as J-Dub is unavailable.
Isaiah Hartenstein

OKC Center-Forward #55

Isaiah Hartenstein (calf) is questionable for Sunday’s game against the Timberwolves.

Hartenstein has missed Oklahoma City’s last three games with a left calf contusion, which is not the one that he strained in December. If the Thunder center can play on Sunday, he’ll likely push Ajay Mitchell to the bench.
Ajay Mitchell

OKC Guard #25

Ajay Mitchell finished Thursday’s win over the Celtics with 15 points (6-of-10 FGs, 2-of-3 FTs), four rebounds, six assists and one three-pointer.

Mitchell was solid in his 30 minutes of game action, finishing with fewer points than only Shai Gilgeous-Alexander on the Thunder en route to the two-point win. Efficient shooting was the key driver of Mitchell’s success on Thursday, but his ability to facilitate and make plays for others was another noteworthy takeaway. Whether he’s started or come off the bench, Mitchell has become a reliable wing option for the Thunder in his second NBA season. He’ll have a chance to find solid production again on Sunday against the Timberwolves.
