Aldama has yet to miss a game this season, and even though he doesn’t start, his absence would open up a ton of minutes in the rotation. GG Jackson and John Konchar would both take on extra minutes off the bench if Aldama is unavailable.

Rostered in 30 percent of Yahoo! leagues, Mitchell has provided the Thunder with consistent production all season long. Counting Thursday, he’s scored in double figures in each of his last 14 appearances. Mitchell finished the victory with a complete stat line, and he has been a seventh-round player in Yahoo! leagues over the past month.

Dort has reached double figures in five of his last eight appearances, scoring no more than 13 points in any of them. He shot the ball well against the Rockets, but the muted offensive production makes him challenging to rely on in most fantasy leagues. His value over the past month sits just outside the top-175, which explains why Dort is rostered in only six percent of Yahoo! leagues.

For the first time this season, Holmgren has rejected at least three shots in four consecutive games. He recorded four in Houston, and the two steals made this one of his most productive defensive performances of the season. Add in the rebounds and efficient shooting, and this was a great night to have Holmgren on your fantasy roster. Over the past month, he has provided top-10 per-game value in nine-cat formats, more than picking up the slack while Isaiah Hartenstein (calf) is out.

It was a close call, but Gilgeous-Alexander extended his streak of consecutive 20-point games to 112 on Thursday. Houston devoted a lot of its attention defensively to the reigning Most Valuable Player, limiting him to 11 field-goal attempts and forcing five turnovers. Oklahoma City’s depth won the night, however, and they end Week 13 in Miami on Saturday.

Dort (foot) is back from a one-game absence and will reclaim his usual spot in the Thunder’s starting lineup. He’ll join a cast of familiar faces in the opening lineup for the Thunder’s first matchup with the Rockets since their opening-day double-overtime thriller, which OKC won by a point.

Spencer didn’t have a great day shooting the basketball, but he still offered excellent value in rebounds and assists. The second-year guard, who only committed one turnover, has hit double digits in assists in three consecutive games. With Ja Morant, Ty Jerome and Scotty Pippen Jr. all injured, and the former the subject of trade rumors, the point guard role belongs to Spencer for now. He’s worth rostering in deep leagues as long as Memphis is shorthanded on the perimeter.

Since scoring a career-high 37 points in a December 23 win over the Jazz, Aldama had not recorded more than 15 points in any game. That changed on Thursday in Berlin, as the Grizzlies forward/center hit all four of his three-point attempts. Zach Edey’s (ankle) absence has opened up additional opportunities for Aldama. Still, the impact has been muted since Jock Landale (6/5/1/1/1 with one three-pointer) has been the replacement in the starting lineup.

Coward finished a steal shy of a complete stat line in Berlin, and he’s been close to a top-75 player in eight-cat formats over the past two weeks. With the Ja Morant trade rumors, the rookie wing is someone who could take on added value if the Grizzlies move their currently injured point guard and focus on improving their draft lottery odds. Memphis and Orlando play again on Sunday in London.

Days like Thursday are a reminder of what Jackson can offer to fantasy managers, even with his lackluster rebounding production. He scored 23 points in the first half before going quiet, but he did record his third 30-point game of the season. Jackson’s poor rebounding makes the defensive categories that much more critical when assessing his fantasy value, and he recorded four “stocks” on Thursday. He’ll look to end Week 13 on a high note when the Grizzlies play the Magic on Sunday in London.

Hartenstein is set to miss his ninth consecutive game with a strained right soleus. Cason Wallace and Aaron Wiggins are candidates to take his place in the starting lineup Tuesday against the Spurs.

This one served as a microcosm of the Gilgeous-Alexander experience as he shook off an ice-cold first quarter to put together a 16-point third quarter where he drilled 5-of-8 shots, including a pair of three-pointers, and got to the line five times during that span. The reigning NBA MVP, who was back in the lineup following a one-game absence earlier this week due to a minor ankle issue, is averaging 31.9 points, 4.4 rebounds, 6.4 assists, 1.4 steals and 0.7 blocks through 38 games, delivering top five overall fantasy value. The Thunder will face the Spurs and Rockets before a rematch against the Heat to close a three-game week.

It’s taken a little while for Williams to get going since making his season debut back in late November, but he’s scored at least 18 points in three of his last five games, while also averaging nearly seven helper per-game during that span. The 24-year-old’s numbers are down virtually across the board from last year’s stellar fantasy campaign but he’s still averaging 17.6 points, 5.0 rebounds, 5.7 assists, 1.4 steals and 0.4 blocks through 21 games.

Coward, who has been battling a lingering ankle issue recently, took on an expanded role from a scoring standpoint in this one with Memphis still playing without mercurial guard Ja Morant due to an ongoing calf injury. The 22-year-old hoisted a team-leading 15 shots and knocked down 5-of-10 from three-point range to fuel his fifth 20-point effort on the season. He drained a pair of clutch treys in the final two minutes of regulation to put the Grizzlies ahead for good. He’ll continue to see an uptick in minutes and scoring opportunities while Morant and other key contributors for the Grizzlies remain sidelined. The Grizzlies are off until Thursday when they face the Magic before closing out the week with a rematch against Orlando on Sunday afternoon.

Landale has made the most of his recent opportunity, starting five consecutive games for the Grizzlies in place of injured center Zach Edey, who remains sidelined with a stress reaction in his left ankle. The 30-year-old big man has reached double-digit points in five of his last six games, while playing nearly 25 minutes during that span. He offers enough scoring and rebounding production to be worthy of consideration as a short-term stopgap in deeper fantasy leagues.

Spencer drew the start at point guard in place of an injured Ja Morant (calf) and reached double-digit points for the third time in his last four games, while posting at least 11 helpers for the second straight contest. The unheralded 25-year-old guard has proven to be a capable scorer and facilitator for the injury-plagued Grizzlies but his fantasy appeal is limited to deeper leagues right now. He has been providing a ton of value in assists and free throw percentage so far.

Back in the starting lineup after missing two games with a sprained ankle, Coward’s playing time was restricted on Friday.

Playing against a severely depleted Thunder roster, Jackson and the Grizzlies controlled Friday’s game for most of the first three quarters. After making all three of his shot attempts in the third quarter, JJJ was 0-of-3 in the fourth as Memphis lost a game that it led by as much as 21.

Chet Holmgren joining Isaiah Hartenstein and Jaylin Williams on the sidelines did not push “Kenny Hustle” into the starting lineup, but it did guarantee him more playing time. Williams made the most of his opportunity, recording season-highs in points, rebounds and three-pointers. He’s rostered in less than one percent of Yahoo! leagues, so there weren’t many fantasy managers willing to roll the dice.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander was unavailable for Friday’s game, which led to a spot start for Mitchell. Despite coming off the bench on most nights, the second-year guard has been productive enough to merit being rostered in some 12-team formats, so Friday’s output was unsurprising. Over the past two weeks, Mitchell has offered top-75 per-game value in eight- and nine-cat formats. If SGA remains out for Sunday’s game against the Heat, fantasy managers should not hesitate to stream Mitchell if he’s sitting on the waiver wire.

Playing without Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Chet Holmgren, among others, Friday’s game was one in which the Thunder appeared to be at a serious disadvantage. And they would trail by 21 points during the third quarter, seemingly underlining that assumption. However, Williams and the other available Thunder didn’t accept that, going on a 14-0 run to take the lead in the final minute. J-Dub didn’t score any of those 14 points, but his 26 beforehand helped Oklahoma City stay afloat. The Thunder end Week 12 with a home game against the Heat on Sunday.
