Chet Holmgren DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

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.
