Availability
Chet Holmgren has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Suns.
Fantasy Impact
Holmgren is one many players still sidelined for the Thunder to close the regular season. Branden Carlson and Kenrich Williams should all continue to see plenty of run for them.
Chet Holmgren has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Nuggets.
Fantasy Impact
Holmgren is one of several starters ruled out for Oklahoma City with them having clinched the No. 1 seed in the West. It is possible he sits each of the final two games of the regular season. Aaron Wiggins and Jared McCain will be among the players to see more run.
Holmgren logged just 22 minutes in the blowout win over the Lakers but still delivered a double-double — 15 points (6-of-10 FGs, 2-of-3 FTs), 10 rebounds, two steals, two blocks, and one three-pointer. Isaiah Hartenstein was also limited to 10 minutes, with Cason Wallace stepping in to start the third quarter and contributing five points, three assists, and three steals.
Fantasy Impact
Oklahoma City managed its rotation carefully in the lopsided win, which bodes well for the availability of its key players heading into the final games of the regular season.
Chet Holmgren posted a near double-double for the Thunder Sunday night, grabbing seven rebounds and scoring a team-high 21 points (8-11 FG, 4-5 3PT, 1-2 FT) while also dishing out one assist and blocking four shots in a 146-111 win over the Jazz.
Fantasy Impact
Holmgren continues a modest stretch on both ends of the floor, finishing with four or more rebounds and seven or more points in each of his last five games. The 23-year-old continues to reward fantasy managers one of many impactful options as part of a talented Oklahoma City starting five, averaging 17.0 points, 1.9 blocks, and 8.8 rebounds per game while posting a usage rate of 21.3% so far this season.
Holmgren fouled out Monday but made his minutes count — finishing with 13 points (6-of-11 FGs), nine rebounds, two steals, two blocks, one assist, and one three-pointer in Oklahoma City's overtime win over the Pistons.
Fantasy Impact
One rebound shy of a double-double with four defensive contributions before fouling out is a productive line regardless of the early exit, and the efficiency on 6-of-11 shooting suggests the scoring was there when he looked for it.
