Joe’s absence leaves the Thunder down a rotation perimeter player. However, with Alex Caruso and Aaron Wiggins available, the impact of Joe’s absence will be minimal.

Williams is set to miss his third straight game with an illness. Luke Kennard figures to see additional minutes with Williams out, though with the Grizzlies’ deep rotation of players that doesn’t necessarily make him fantasy-relevant in standard leagues.

Edey has now collected at least 11 rebounds in three of his last four games. Despite inconsistent playing time, the 22-year-old rookie center from Purdue is a rebounding machine when he’s out there. Edey has provided sixth-round fantasy value over the past two weeks as he’s also an excellent shot blocker.

Bane struggled on the offensive end with 17 points on 23 attempts from the field. The 26-year-old shooting guard was just 1-of-9 from behind the three-point line. It’s the third time in his last five games that he’s made only one three-point attempt. While Bane’s scoring production has been a little inconsistent lately, fantasy managers can take solace that the Grizzlies have a fourth game this week Saturday against the short-handed Pistons.

Morant had at least 30 points for the second-straight game as he seems to be all the way back from his hamstring injury. He made at least 50 percent of his shots from the field for the third-straight game and is 35-of-64 over his last three games. The 25-year-old point guard appears to be excelling in the aftermath of Taylor Jenkins’ firing and under the tutelage of interim coach Tuomas Iisalo.

With both Chet Holmgren and Isaiah Hartenstein healthy, Williams wouldn’t have played a large role even if he was healthy. This will be a second-straight absence for him. Ducas has only played more than 10 minutes in a game twice this season. His continued absence will not impact the Thunder rotation.

Both wings will be back in the lineup after Wiggins missed Oklahoma City’s last five games, while Caruso only missed one game. The Thunder will be at nearly full strength for the showdown between the top two teams in the West, which means Isaiah Joe and Cason Wallace should lose out on some minutes.

Williams has had at least 20 points in three of four games since returning from a seven-game absence with a strained right hip. The 23-year-old small forward is the third banana on the Thunder after Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Chet Holmgren but is still capable of scoring at least 20 points with regularity as we’ve seen this season. With Williams doing his part, OKC is running on all cylinders as they head into the playoffs.

Holmgren shook off an off-night against the Bulls where he scored just five points Monday with an excellent bounce back performance against the Pistons Wednesday. The 22-year-old power forward missed all five of his three-point attempts, but was otherwise brilliant as he scored 22 points on 14 shots. He pulled down 11 rebounds and was a beast on the defensive end with five blocks. Holmgren also played 33 minutes, eschewing concerns over his hip injury that caused him to miss a game last week.

Gilgeous-Alexander long ago reached the point where nitpicking a 33-point effort counts as valid criticism. The 26-year-old point guard continued his dominant season against the Pistons Wednesday, though he was just 10-of-26 from the field in the 16-point win. SGA was a factor on the defensive end with three steals and two blocks. He’s now played eight more games than Nikola Jokic on the season (73 to 65), which could be the deciding factor in who the fantasy MVP is this year.

The lone change is Wallace, whose move into the starting lineup means Isaiah Hartenstein will come off the bench. Managers who have Hartenstein rostered should not be too concerned, as his fantasy value should be fine despite being used as a reserve.

Caruso and Williams have been downgraded from questionable to out, leaving the Thunder without two key reserves. Multiple players, including Cason Wallace and Kenrich Williams, will absorb their minutes. Wallace is worth streaming in deep leagues, while managers can afford to leave Williams on the waiver wire.

After scoring 21 points and recording a solid stat line in Monday’s loss to the Celtics, Aldama was also solid in Tuesday’s loss to Golden State. This was a needed two-game stretch for the fourth-year forward, who is ranked outside the top 150 in eight- and nine-cat formats over the past two weeks. Rostered in 43 percent of Yahoo! leagues, Aldama has been a 10th-round player in eight- and nine-cat formats this season. Unfortunately, the production dipped at the wrong time for those who have relied on him for consistent late-round value.

While Bane’s scoring output has been slightly inconsistent recently, he has still provided sixth-round value in eight- and nine-cat formats over the past two weeks. The 1-of-12 night against Oklahoma City damaged his field goal percentage, with Bane making 44.2 percent of his attempts. However, Bane’s other numbers have been solid, preserving his overall value to category league managers. The good news for Bane managers is that Memphis plays two more games during Week 22, starting with Miami on Thursday.

Jackson exited with 1:55 remaining in the fourth quarter and the Grizzlies trailing by one, 123-122. Memphis would only score three more points the rest of the way, as no one could contribute with the Warriors taking away Ja Morant and Desmond Bane. Over the past two weeks, Jackson has provided fifth-round value in eight- and nine-cat formats, two rounds worse than his season-long production. One difference has been the field goal percentage, with Trip shooting 43.5 percent over the past two weeks. Fantasy managers hope he’ll clean that up during the Grizzlies’ final two games of Week 22.

Wednesday’s point total was Morant’s best since returning from a hamstring injury, and he shot over 50 percent from the field. While much was made of the Grizzlies’ offensive system in the aftermath of Taylor Jenkins’s firing, the team appeared to run more pick-and-roll actions for Morant on Tuesday than they have for most of this season. The staff changes made before the season were meant to install an offense with more ball movement, with current interim coach Tuomas Iisalo among those hires. While that did happen, Memphis’s usage of two-man actions is something to watch for the rest of this season.

Aldama has been solid all season, but the production has been quieter in recent months when compared to his early-season numbers. Monday’s performance was his highest-scoring night since February 2, which was a 23-point night in a win. That is something Memphis hasn’t done much of recently as they lost for the sixth time in their last seven games on Monday. Aldama has been a reliable reserve for them, but it’s hard to count on him for this level of production. He ranks outside the top-200 in nine-cat leagues over the past two weeks.

Morant was once again able to turn in a strong stat line in his second game back after missing six games with a hamstring injury. The last time Morant scored less than 20 points in a game was February 20, which was the Grizzlies’ first game after the All-Star break. Availability has once again been an issue for Morant this season, but he hasn’t had any issues pouring in the points when he’s on the floor. This was the first night of a back-to-back, and it wouldn’t be surprising if Morant didn’t play against the Warriors on Tuesday. Keep an eye on the injury report, though that game is far more important for the playoff race out West, so it would be surprising if they opted to rest him against Golden State and play him against Boston.

Joe played 27 minutes off the bench as the Thunder blew out the Bulls by 28 points Monday. The 25-year-old shooting guard was feeling it. He made 8-of-14 attempts from behind the three-point line. Joe is strictly a streamer in deeper formats, but Monday was another example of his scoring ceiling.

Holmgren returned after missing Saturday’s game as he continues to manage a hip injury. The 22-year-old power forward was perhaps a little rusty, but the numbers were influenced by a blowout score. Holmgren played just 26 minutes. Holmgren’s off-night was just that, but the larger concern is more rest could be in store for him over the rest of the regular season now that the Thunder have clinched the No. 1 seed in the West.

The Thunder beat the Bulls by 28 Monday and the game was actually worse than the final score as Oklahoma City lost the fourth quarter by 12 while their backups were in. Gilgeous-Alexander didn’t need much time to have his MVP-impact felt. He produced this stat line in just 27 minutes. With only a few weeks left in the regular season, we’re running out of superlatives for the most spectacular player of the 2024-25 season.

The most notable flaw in Jackson Jr.'s game is his lack of rebounding production, but that wasn’t the case on Monday. Though it wasn’t enough to get the win, JJJ set a new career-high for rebounds, eclipsing his previous best mark of 13, which he has done twice over the last two seasons. It was a nice boost in Monday’s game, but it isn’t something that managers should grow accustomed to. Memphis still has three more games this week, including the second night of a back-to-back against the Warriors on Tuesday.

Gilgeous-Alexander’s sublime season kept on rolling Saturday, even with supporting stars Jaylin Williams and Chet Holmgren out and Isaiah Hartenstein making an early exit due to injury, as he continues to bolster his MVP Award argument. SGA was literally a do-it-all superstar against the Pacers, pouring in 33 points on 23 shots, including three made three-pointers. He also got to the foul line 12 times and sunk 10 free throws. Gilgeous-Alexander also dished out eight assists and was close to a triple-double with seven rebounds as well. The 26-year-old point guard is a lock for his first career MVP Award, and with Nikola Jokic missing games down the home stretch, he’s the fantasy basketball MVP too.

Dort isn’t a fantasy asset because he’s inconsistent. Saturday was one of those games where the 25-year-old shooting guard just happened to be feeling it.

Morant returned to the Grizzlies’ lineup on Saturday after missing six games with a hamstring injury. He did so while playing for a new head coach, with Toumas Iisalo grabbing the reins on an interim basis, after Taylor Jenkins was fired earlier this week after six seasons at the helm. The point guard’s efficiency wasn’t great, as he shot 9-of-23 from the field, but 10 assists countered his four turnovers. When healthy, Morant has been a superior option in eight-cat formats and team builds in which turnovers are punted. Memphis’s four-game Week 22 includes a Monday/Tuesday back-to-back, so there may be another opportunity for Scotty Pippen Jr. to start. Pippen played 23 minutes off the bench against the Lakers, finishing with 16 points, three rebounds, five assists, one steal and three three-pointers.

Edey reached double digits in rebounds for the 15th time this season and first since March 9. That was also the last time the rookie recorded a double-double, moving his tally to 10 on the season. While Edey has offered sixth-round value in nine-cat formats over the past two weeks, five of six games were played without Ja Morant. Morant returned to the lineup on Saturday, and the 7-foot-4 rookie produced an excellent stat line. That’s encouraging for those who have Edey rostered, especially with the Grizzlies playing four games during Week 22.

Jackson shot the ball well on Saturday, scoring 23 points or more in three of his last four games. However, the overall stat line was lacking, especially in the rebound department. He’s grabbed five rebounds or less in six straight games, which has factored into JJJ only being a top 75 player in nine-cat formats over the past two weeks. Sharing the court with Zach Edey doesn’t help, but fantasy managers are likely hoping for more rebound production from Jackson during Week 22.

He’s scored 20 points or more in five of his last seven outings, a run that includes a 44-point effort on March 17 against the Kings. Ja Morant returning to the lineup on Saturday likely helped boost Bane’s efficiency, but he is shooting 48.4 percent from the field for the season.
