Hardaway sprained his ankle during Friday’s loss to the Mavericks. His absence means a likely move into the starting lineup for Malik Beasley, who boasts a higher fantasy ceiling. Despite coming off the bench, he has been a superior fantasy option to Hardaway throughout the season.

It wasn’t a fantastic encore to his triple-double on Wednesday, but it was another strong performance for JWill. If Mark Daigneault chooses to prioritize his team’s health for the playoffs, we could see Williams continue to play a significant role for the rest of the season. He may not be considered a must-add player at this point, he is worth keeping an eye to see how his minutes progress over OKC’s next few games.

After joining multiple rotation players in sitting out Wednesday’s game against Philadelphia, Hartenstein was back in the lineup on Friday. He only played 25 minutes in the blowout win, but that was enough time for him to record a double-double. OKC has already locked up the best record in the West, so it’s certainly possible that Hartenstein and the rest of the rotation pieces see more rest nights and minutes limits for the rest of the regular season, which would limit their fantasy output.

After getting a rest night against Philadelphia on Wednesday, SGA was back in the lineup to play against Charlotte. It has been the case all season, but this was just another example of a team not having an answer for SGA. He only played 30 minutes and could’ve certainly had a bigger night if the score wasn’t as lopsided as it was. OKC will wrap up the week against the Clippers on Sunday which should be a competitive enough matchup for SGA to see a full workload. However, OKC has already clinched the best record in the conference, so managers shouldn’t feel safe about SGA’s role for the rest of the season.

Beasley had his typical game Friday against the Mavericks as his only meaningful contribution was in the threes category with him making five of them. It was notable that teammate Tim Hardaway Jr. left the game in the second quarter with an ankle injury and the Pistons predictably leaned on Beasley to pick up the slack, giving him 36 minutes. We’ve seen the Pistons do this at other points in the season. If Hardaway’s ankle injury lingers, Beasley would have a lot of fantasy value playing starter-level minutes.

Cunningham has eclipsed 35 points on three occasions since the start of March. The 23-year-old point guard also chipped in with seven rebounds and six assists. Perhaps most notably, Cunningham only had two turnovers after committing at least four turnovers in three of his last four games. He’s a fantasy superstar, but the turnovers are the one category where he has some considerable room for improvement.

Williams has played at least 20 minutes just twice in nine games so far in the month of March, but he’s recorded a triple-double in both of those games. With Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Isaiah Hartenstein and others out for the Thunder Wednesday, Williams was in the starting lineup again and put up a huge game. He was just one point and three rebounds shy of a 20-20 game. Williams isn’t much of a fantasy asset when the Thunder are at full strength, but he can certainly put up numbers when given the opportunity.

Cunningham also had his ninth triple-double of the season as he continues to be a superstar in both fantasy and real life.

In comparison to some other rookies in this class, Holland has flown under the radar at times during his first season in the league. Detroit has been too competitive for him to play a significant role, but he has been productive when given the opportunity. This wasn’t a monster performance by any means, but it was an encouraging one for dynasty managers. Holland won’t turn 20 years old until July, so any glimpses of upside at this point are great to see.

The lopsided score in favor of Detroit helped Fontecchio set a new season-high for scoring in this game. He did an excellent job during cleanup time and scored 18 of his 23 points in the second half. Fontecchio also made all five of his attempts from deep. It was a fantastic night for him, but this isn’t something that managers should get used to. He has averaged 6.3 points, 3.1 rebounds and 1.1 triples per game this season, which has him ranked outside the top-300 in nine-cat leagues.

While the rest of the starters’ production was capped by the lopsided score, Cunningham was still able to turn in a strong line in the massive win. It certainly could have been a bigger night if New Orleans was able to keep this game somewhere close. Blowouts have limited Cunningham at times over the past month, but he was still able to be on the floor long enough to make up for Saturday’s 11-point performance that ended early following an ejection. He’ll look to keep this going in Miami on Wednesday.

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.

While he doesn’t offer an exceptionally high fantasy ceiling, Harris does provide a reliable floor. He had a solid night scoring-wise, and the rebounding production was also good.

Duren extended his double-double streak to four games on Thursday, though it wasn’t enough to get a win. Duren has been fantastic in a few categories but hasn’t been a factor in the rest for most of the season. While that is fine for managers in category leagues, it limits his upside in points leagues.

What a monster night it was for Cunningham. This was his sixth-straight game with at least 25 points, and he added another double-double, along with plenty of defensive production. Cunningham isn’t known for having a generous whistle, but he lived at the foul line on Thursday. He shattered his previous career-highs of 13 free throws made and 13 free throws attempted in a game.

Though he only played 25 minutes because of the lopsided score, Duren was able to record his third-straight double-double on Tuesday. He continues to be a double-double machine with an excellent field goal percentage, and the blocks have been hit-or-miss. Prior to having two swats in this game, he went three straight games without one. Before that stretch, he had 10 in two games.

One night removed from committing nine turnovers in a loss to the Warriors, he was responsible for eight against the Trail Blazers.

A top-10 player in eight-cat formats since the All-Star break, Cade is ranked just outside the top 25 in nine-cat.
