Oklahoma City led by as many as 18 but faltered down the home stretch as Phoenix rallied late to pull out a comeback win. The reigning NBA MVP came alive in the third quarter, contributing 12 points on 4-of-9 shooting, after a slow start to the contest. The 27-year-old superstar failed to break the 30-point mark for the first time in four games, but managed to get to the line nine times. The defending NBA champions had righted the ship after a pair of late-December losses to the upstart Spurs by winning four straight. They’ll kick off a four-game slate next week with a home bout against the Hornets before squaring off against the Jazz, Grizzlies and Heat.

Williams connected on a game-tying jumper with nine seconds left in regulation but Suns superstar Devin Booker nailed a game-winning shot in the final seconds to snap the Thunder’s four-game win streak. The 24-year-old rising star has been extremely impressive since making his season debut back on November 28, delivering fifth-round fantasy value, averaging 17.2 points, 5.2 rebounds, 5.5 assists, 1.5 steals and 0.4 blocks through 17 games.

It’s become abundantly clear that Atlanta’s offense will continue to run through Johnson even with Trae Young back in the mix. He’s eclipsed 20 points in seven of his last nine games since December 18. The 24-year-old rising star has contributed first-round fantasy value this season, averaging 24.0 points, 10.2 rebounds, 8.2 assists, 1.4 steals and 0.5 blocks through 33 games. The Hawks are in line for a rematch against the Raptors on Monday before facing the Pelicans, Nuggets and Warriors to close out a four-game week.

Daniels put together one of his strongest shooting performances of the season, draining all seven of his first-half attempts while also dishing out seven assists during that span. He cooled off considerably in the second half, going just 2-of-6 from the floor. The 22-year-old defensive wizard’s numbers have been down considerably from a steals standpoint from last year, but he’s still delivered seventh-round value for fantasy purposes, averaging 11.7 points, 6.4 rebounds, 6.1 assists, 1.9 steals and 0.6 blocks through 36 games.

Alexander-Walker knocked down 6-of-11 from three-point range and took 18 shots or more for the eighth time in his last 11 games since December 14. The 27-year-old guard has seen an uptick in scoring opportunities with Trae Young (quad) sidelined. The Hawks will square off against the Raptors on Monday in a rematch north of the border.

Wallace suffered a right knee contusion, which limited him to 14 minutes. The third-year guard finished with two points (1-of-4 FGs), three rebounds, one assist and two steals. If Wallace has to miss time, Aaron Wiggins is the most likely replacement in the starting lineup. Wiggins started the third quarter, finishing with 15 points (5-of-11 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), three rebounds, two assists, one block and three three-pointers in 27 minutes.

With Isaiah Hartenstein and Jaylin Williams out due to injury, Carlson has picked up rotation minutes over the last three games. After a solid effort in Wednesday’s blowout of the Trail Blazers, the second-year center recorded his second career double-double on Friday. While one must not read too much into what Carlson did against a depleted Warriors roster, all he can do is play against the players on the floor. There’s no need to add him right now, but he’s worth watching in the short term.

As Shai Gilgeous-Alexander said during his interview after Friday’s 37-point win, the Thunder are a different team when Holmgren is at his best defensively. And fantasy managers benefit as well. With Isaiah Hartenstein (calf) out, Oklahoma City needs more from Holmgren, and he answered the call on Friday. He’s recorded four double-doubles in his last five outings and totaled 16 blocks over his previous four. Over the past two weeks, Holmgren has provided top-20 per-game value in eight-cat formats.

Hours after being named Sports Illustrated Sportsperson of the Year, Gilgeous-Alexander required just 28 minutes to show the most significant reason for his individual honor. The reigning NBA Most Valuable Player recorded his 24th 30-point game of the season, and he didn’t play at all during the fourth quarter. With Nikola Jokić (knee) out for at least the next four weeks, Gilgeous-Alexander’s already-high fantasy value receives a boost due to his being available.

Daniels took on the task of defending Knicks guard Jalen Brunson, who had to work hard for his 24 points. The Great Barrier Thief’s defensive work only yielded two steals, but that doesn’t tell the whole story. From a fantasy standpoint, Daniels dished out eight assists, and managers also benefited from the six rebounds. He’s providing top-75 per-game value in eight-cat formats, with the foul shooting (60.3 percent) being the most significant issue.

Once again starting for the injured Trae Young (quad), Alexander-Walker has scored 23 points or more in three of his last four appearances. Rostered in 47 percent of Yahoo! leagues, he’s providing top-75 per-game value in nine-cat formats. Even if Young is available for Saturday’s game in Toronto, Alexander-Walker is worth considering in more 12-team leagues, and some 10-team leagues as well.

It’s safe to say that Okongwu likes playing against the Knicks. After hitting six three-pointers in Saturday’s home loss to New York, he hit three more in Friday’s road victory. Over the past two weeks, he has provided third-round per-game value in eight-cat formats. Even as Kristaps Porziņģis (4/8/2/2 in 17 minutes) works his way back from illness, Okongwu’s playing time and opportunities won’t be an issue. That’s excellent news for those who have him rostered.

After recording a double-double in seven straight appearances, Johnson posted his first triple-double since December 14, which was part of a streak of four consecutive triple-doubles. While the Hawks forward has been elite all season long, it’s no secret that his fantasy ceiling is raised when Trae Young (quad) is unavailable. Not only should Johnson be mentioned among the leading candidates for Most Improved Player, but he has also played well enough to deserve a trip to the All-Star Game.

Joe was one of several Thunder players to find success on the offensive end on Wednesday. He, along with six other OKC players, scored in double figures, and he did so in less than 20 minutes off the bench. The sharp-shooting guard did all of his work from beyond the arc and was quiet in all other categories. He doesn’t have much value as a fantasy option, but remains a reliable piece in the Thunder’s nightly rotation.

In a December full of near-double-doubles, Holmgren was able to collect his second game of at least 10 points and 10 rebounds on Wednesday — he needed just 25 minutes to achieve the feat. Yet, what the former Gonzaga Bulldog did defensively was perhaps even more impressive, tallying eight stocks and setting a new season-high in blocked shots in the process. A blowout win prevented him from doing more damage, but he still finished with a productive night from a fantasy basketball standpoint.

The reigning MVP was limited to 29 minutes of game action, given the wide margin on the scoreboard, but still found a way to register another efficient 30-point outing. He logged his usual production from the charity stripe and did the bulk of his work inside the arc. Gilgeous-Alexander also tied a season-high in steals along the way to help the Thunder secure a third straight win. He finishes 2025 having averaged 30.0 points or better in each of the first three months of the season.

Daniels hasn’t been as highly touted in fantasy basketball this season, mostly because his steals are down and his scoring has been rough. However, he has somewhat made up for it by averaging career highs in rebounds and assists, and he nearly recorded a triple-double in this game. This was a well-rounded performance for Daniels as he continues to thrive without Trae Young in the lineup.

These monster nights are becoming routine for Johnson. He missed Monday’s game with an illness, but the effects clearly didn’t linger enough to limit his production in this one. Johnson has been one of the best players in fantasy basketball this season, and while his production hasn’t been limited when Trae Young is available, he has been at his best when Young isn’t playing. He’ll look to remain hot in New York on Friday.

After missing Atlanta’s last 10 games with an illness, Porziņģis was available off the bench in this game. In just 17 minutes, he was able to make a large impact. His last two appearances have been weeks apart, but in both games, he poured in the points in limited action. Hopefully he’ll remain available moving forward, but his health is worth keeping an eye on. Even if he remains a reserve for Atlanta, he’ll be a highly impactful option for fantasy managers.

The 25-year-old big man has scored at least 23 points in three of his last five games since December 21.
