Oklahoma City Thunder DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Oklahoma City Thunder center Chet Holmgren (hip, injury management) won't play on Saturday versus Memphis. The 22-year-old was available for Friday's win over the Toronto Raptors after missing nearly three months because of a hip injury. He logged 22 minutes, and although he didn't do much on the scoring end, he at least had five rebounds, four blocks, and two steals. As expected, Holmgren will take the night off to rest before likely returning for Monday's meeting with the Pelicans. Isaiah Hartenstein, averaging 11.4 points, 11.9 rebounds, and 1.0 blocks in 29 starts this season, will handle things at the five.

According to Michael Grange of Sportsnet.ca, Oklahoma City Thunder guard/forwardLuguentz Dort(back) is a late scratch and won't suit up against the Toronto Raptors on Friday. Dort has been ruled out for the first half of a back-to-back set due to back spasms. While the 25-year-old is sidelined, Isaiah JoeandAaron Wigginswill likely take on extra minutes. Wiggins could be a solid streaming option for Friday. He finished with 17 points, six rebounds, one assist and one steal across 25 minutes in his last outing against the Suns on Monday.

Oklahoma City Thunder center Chet Holmgren (hip) is off the injury report for Friday's matchup with the Raptors. The 22-year-old had an excellent start to the 2024-25 campaign, averaging 16.4 points, 8.7 rebounds, and 2.6 blocks. However, he suffered a hip fracture during the Nov. 10 meeting with the Golden State Warriors and has been working his way back since. The Thunder have only lost nine games this season, so the team can afford to bring Holmgren back slowly. Despite that, he should return to fantasy lineups. Holmgren's presence should mean less work for Isaiah Hartenstein. Still, the former Knick should remain relevant from a fantasy standpoint.

Oklahoma City Thunder guard/forward Jalen Williams (wrist) is in danger of missing a third straight game, as the team considers him questionable for Wednesday's tilt against the Phoenix Suns. Williams is trying to shake off a right wrist sprain. Aaron Wiggins has picked up a pair of starts during Wlliams' absence. He exploded for a career-high 41 points on Saturday against the Sacramento Kings but settled for only 13 points in Monday's victory over the Milwaukee Bucks. Wiggins' career averages as a starter are 10.8 points, 4.8 rebounds, and 1.6 assists.

Oklahoma City Thunder forward Jalen Williams (wrist) has been downgraded from questionable to out on Monday and will not face the Milwaukee Bucks. This is his second consecutive absence due to the wrist sprain that he suffered before their last game against the Sacramento Kings. Aaron Wiggins will likely remain in the starting five after he dropped 41 points, 14 rebounds, and three assists when he took over for Williams. He's likely available in a wide range of leagues regardless of format.
