The Thunder are already without Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Luguentz Dort and Jalen Williams, and they won’t have Hartenstein or Wallace for Wednesday’s game, either. Aaron Wiggins and Chet Holmgren are among those who are available, which raises their fantasy ceilings. The only question is how much they’ll play since they are key members of Oklahoma City’s regular rotation.

While Boston’s starting backcourt of Holiday and Derrick White recorded solid stat lines, category league managers took a beating in the field goal percentage department. Holiday shot 5-of-14 from the field, while White (18/5/4/0/1 with three three-pointers) was even worse, shooting 6-of-19. However, Holiday has been a seventh-round player in eight-cat formats since the All-Star break, while White is ranked within the top 20 according to Basketball Monster. They’ll look to clean up the shooting percentage on Friday when the Celtics visit the Jazz.

With Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown out for Tuesday’s game, Hauser and Al Horford were part of the starting lineup. Neither stood out against the Nets, but the few who streamed the former did receive solid production on the glass. Hauser’s seven rebounds were the most in a game for him since February 12. As for Horford, he finished with four points, five rebounds, six assists and one three-pointer in 31 minutes. Tuesday wasn’t a great night for Horford or Hauser, but they’re worth streaming when the Celtics play without at least one of their starters.

Porzingis was excellent on both ends of the floor Tuesday night, recording a complete stat line to pick up the slack for absent stars Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown. This was his fourth double-double of the season with at least 20 points, and he’s recorded at least three blocked shots in six games. The concern for fantasy managers is Porzingis’ availability, not his productivity. While Boston has two more games during Week 20, the second is part of a Sunday/Monday back-to-back.

On most nights when the Celtics are shorthanded, Payton Pritchard is the reserve who steps up. It was Scheierman’s turn on Tuesday, as he recorded new career highs in points (20), field goals (seven) and three-pointers (six) against the Nets. And the first-round pick only required 16 minutes to do it. Pritchard (10/4/2 with three three-pointers) also hit double-figures in the win, but Scheierman was the star for the Celtics. While there could come a point down the stretch when the Celtics give the rookie more opportunities as the veterans prepare for the postseason, that isn’t guaranteed. There’s no need to add Scheierman in the aftermath of Tuesday’s performance.

Holmgren is still at the point where the Thunder are managing his availability, which dings his fantasy value a bit. However, the second-year big has been a top-50 player in nine-cat formats since the All-Star break, which aligns with his season-long value. While Oklahoma City not playing its first Week 20 game until Wednesday isn’t great for those who have Holmgren rostered, the Thunder will play three games without a back-to-back. Hopefully, that means he’ll play in all three.

Joe hit double figures in points for the third-straight game on Sunday, providing solid value off the bench in the Thunder victory. The 19 points are the most he has scored in a game since January 19, and Sunday was the sixth time Joe has made at least five three-pointers this season. Rostered in three percent of Yahoo! leagues, Joe’s season-long value has been low. However, Aaron Wiggins missing time due to illness has opened up additional opportunities for Joe, and he took advantage of his teammate’s absence on Sunday.

Hartenstein was sensational on Sunday, recording his first 20-point double-double of the season. The Thunder center has provided eighth-round value in eight- and nine-cat formats since the All-Star break, which hasn’t been far off his season-long production. While injuries have limited the time Hartenstein and Chet Holmgren have been on the court together, the partnership has worked smoothly thus far. With Oklahoma City playing three games without a back-to-back during Week 20, availability should not be an issue for Hartenstein or Holmgren.

Gilgeous-Alexander’s consistent excellence is why he’s the betting favorite for the NBA’s Most Valuable Player award. The Thunder star has scored 20 points or more in 62 straight appearances. Gilgeous-Alexander missed all five of his three-point attempts, but he shot 50 percent from two and was 9-of-11 from the foul line. Add in the assists, and SGA ended Week 19 positively for those who have him rostered. Oklahoma City plays three games during Week 20, starting with the 76ers on Wednesday.
