While Williams said after Tuesday’s victory that he still hasn’t reached the point where he’s entirely comfortable on the floor, the Thunder forward’s production has improved from game to game. His scoring output has increased every time out, with J-Dub recording his first 20-point stat line in his third game back from offseason wrist surgery. And while he missed all four of his three-point attempts, the percentages from the field and the foul line were encouraging. Williams has attempted only five three-pointers across three games, and that may be the aspect of his offensive game that takes the most time to get back to speed. But he’s clearly on the right track.

Oklahoma City’s win streak hit 13 games on Tuesday, and Holmgren has seven 20-point games during the run. On Tuesday, he shot 66.7 percent from the field and was a steal shy of a complete stat line. Over the past month, he has provided sixth-round value in nine-cat formats. That doesn’t align with Holmgren’s Yahoo! ADP (26), but it’s not like he’s been a disappointment in fantasy basketball. Plus, the skill set is such that he’s capable of going on a run that would get his value closer to preseason expectations.

While the Warriors used increased defensive intensity and various looks to get back into Tuesday’s game, their inability to slow down the reigning MVP was the difference. After Pat Spencer hit a shot with 4:54 remaining to give the Warriors a one-point lead, Gilgeous-Alexander and the Thunder went on an 8-0 run to take the lead for good, with the MVP responsible for five of those points. Regarding season-long fantasy value, only Nikola Jokić and Victor Wembanyama have been better than SGA, and the latter is currently out with a calf injury.

Reid has once again been one of the best reserves in the NBA, but he was able to do more than just score in this one. He set new season highs for both assists and steals, which led to one of his more complete performances of the season. Reid has once again been a top-100 player in nine-category leagues this year despite a slight drop in production across the board.

New Orleans didn’t have much of an answer for Edwards, which led to him scoring at least 30 points for a sixth straight game. This was also his fourth 40-point performance of the season, with three of those coming over the past six games. Edwards is on an incredible scoring tear right now, and with a rematch in New Orleans coming up on Thursday, he should be able to keep this going.

After three straight games without a double-double, Gobert was able to produce his eighth of the season. His 26 points were also a season high and the first time he has surpassed 20 points this year. Gobert hasn’t been the fantasy star that he has been in the past, largely because his free throws are worse than usual. However, he had his best game from the charity stripe this season, which led to best performance of the year.

An adductor injury has sidelined Luguentz Dort, opening up a spot in the starting lineup. Mitchell, who has provided solid fantasy value whether he starts or comes off the bench, will fill the void. He should already be rostered in 14-team leagues, and some 12-team leagues as well. The other four starters are unchanged.

Dort is recovering from a strained right adductor, with Tuesday’s game being the first that he’ll miss since November 12. Ajay Mitchell was his replacement in the starting lineup on that night, and he may receive the starting nod again on Tuesday. If so, Mitchell will be worth holding onto in some 12-team leagues.

Edwards broke 30 points for the fifth straight game as he knocked down four three-pointers and shot a sublime 72 percent from the floor. He showed zero signs of fatigue on the second night of a back-to-back after torching the Celtics for 39 points earlier this weekend. The 24-year-old scoring machine is averaging 28.9 points, 4.5 rebounds, 3.9 assists 1.3 steals and 0.6 blocks through 16 games. The Timberwolves open a three-game week with back-to-back road contests against the floundering Pelicans before returning home to face the Clippers next weekend.

SGA wasn’t able to keep his 35-point streak going, but he was able to do enough to help the Thunder extend their winning streak to 12 games. This was a decent performance for SGA, but he has been good enough that his will actually drop his scoring average. He’ll look to “bounce back” against the Warriors on Tuesday to kick off a three-game week.

Mitchell exited early from Friday’s game with a knee contusion, but that didn’t hold him out of this game. In fact, it didn’t do much to limit his production. Aside from Friday’s game, when he exited after just four minutes, Mitchell has scored in double figures in all but one game. It’s early, but Mitchell has a strong case to win Sixth Man of the Year at this point, which is a huge development for a second-round pick in his second season.

Portland played this game without Donovan Clingan (illness), and they didn’t replace him with a traditional center. That made Holmgren the biggest player in either starting lineup, but he wasn’t able to truly dominate the glass. He led Oklahoma City in rebounding, and each team finished with exactly 49 boards, but this was an opportunity for Holmgren to have a big rebounding night. Still, he was able to turn in a full stat line. With Isaiah Hartenstein sidelined for at least a few games, Holmgren will need to control the glass.

Following an 11-game absence, Wiggins will be back in the lineup against Portland. He started in the last game he played in, but with the backcourt rotation completely healthy, he’ll likely play a limited role off the bench, which won’t be enough time for him to make a fantasy impact.

Mitchell is not on the injury report after leaving Friday’s win over the Suns with a left knee contusion.

While he will play rotation minutes, his fantasy ceiling is considerably lower than it was earlier in the season.

Edwards has been on a scoring tear recently. He has scored at least 30 points while also hitting five triples in four straight games, and he fell one point shy of reaching 40 points for the third time during this stretch. That was enough to help Minnesota snap a three-game losing streak. Regardless of the matchup, Edwards will continue to pour in the points, and he’ll look to end this week on a high note against the Spurs on Sunday.

Randle started off the year incredibly hot, but the last handful of games have been rough for him. The main difference has been his field goal percentage; he shot at least 50 percent from the floor in each of his first 10 games, but he has been below that mark in five of his last six games. He’ll look to get back on track against the Spurs on Sunday to wrap up the week.

Caruso’s fantasy production hasn’t replicated how effective he is on the floor, but his second-highest minutes total of the year (24) allowed him to have a decent night in this one. He still didn’t do much scoring, but he was able to contribute decent value in other categories. Still, his role has been too inconsistent for him to be worth rostering in most formats.

SGA continues to dominate every single night. He has scored at least 20 points in every game this season, and this was his third straight scoring at least 35 points. He has also maintained an efficient field goal percentage throughout the year, having shot at least 50 percent in all but five games. The reigning MVP just keeps getting better and better, and he’ll look to wrap up the week on a high note in Portland on Sunday.

After missing the first 19 games of the season, Williams was available to suit up for the first time this year. He immediately returned to the starting lineup, but with Isaiah Hartenstein unavailable, there were no other changes to the opening group. Williams had a subpar shooting night, but the rest of the production in his 29 minutes was a welcome sight. Williams will continue to improve as he logs more games, with a trip to Portland on Sunday up next on the schedule

At long last, Williams is ready to make his season debut after undergoing wrist surgery not too long after the Thunder won the NBA title in June. Given the time missed, there will likely be a minutes restriction, even though the Thunder have not released an official number for the versatile forward. And with Oklahoma City boasting a league-best 18-1 record, there’s no need for the team to force too much upon Williams in his first game back.

Randle suffered his worst scoring performance of the season on Wednesday. He contributed just a pair of made baskets and only took 13 shots for the third game in a row. The veteran forward also failed to capitalize on his opportunities at the charity stripe before narrowly escaping a single-digit scoring total. Still, Randle was solid as a passer and rebounder, and also logged a few steals on the defensive end to help his overall fantasy production on the evening. He’ll have a chance to get back in rhythm as a scorer on Saturday against the Celtics.

Shannon Jr. poured in his best performance of the season on Wednesday. He needed only 17 minutes of game action to post a season-high in points and nearly reach the 20-point mark. He made all seven of his shot attempts and all three of his three-pointers along the way, but didn’t contribute much in other areas of the game. Still, Shannon Jr. had a nice outing, one that could potentially lead to more opportunities against the Celtics on Saturday.

Edwards followed up a 43-point outing against the Kings with a stellar 30-point performance on Wednesday. He was dialed in from beyond the arc, tallying more threes than any other player who took the floor. Even with poor free-throw shooting, he led the Wolves in scoring and was one of only two Minnesota players to score more than 11 points. Edwards will have an opportunity to extend his streak of 30-point games to four when the Wolves face the Celtics on Saturday.

Hartenstein was one of four Thunder players to score in double figures on Wednesday. As usual, his scoring was mostly done inside the arc, but with some inefficient free-throw shooting adding a bit more to his scoring total. He added a couple of stocks on the defensive end and wasn’t as productive on the glass as he usually is. He’ll have an opportunity to log a more productive line on Friday against the Suns.

Holmgren had mostly a quiet game until a massive three-pointer with 37.7 seconds remaining put him into double figures and gave OKC a comfortable four-point lead down the stretch. The former Gonzaga Bulldog was impactful in other areas as well — he led the Thunder in rebounding, was the only member of the team to record multiple threes, and chipped in on the defensive end with a pair of stocks. Despite his lower scoring total on Wednesday, Holmgren entered Wednesday’s contest averaging a career-high in points. He continues to shine in his third NBA season.

Gilgeous-Alexander put on another incredible display of shot-making in front of the national TV audience on Wednesday.

Edwards dropped 40-plus for the second straight game — his third 40-spot of the year — but it still wasn’t enough to prevent Minnesota from suffering a second straight late-game collapse. The 24-year-old superstar had a look at a go-ahead running jumper in the closing seconds after the Wolves blew a 10-point lead over the final three minutes, but it rimmed out. He launched a season-high 29 shots and was surprisingly efficient from deep, drilling five of 11 threes. He’s been a strong second-round fantasy performer so far, averaging 27.8 points through 13 games. Minnesota will try to steady the ship on Wednesday night against a red-hot Thunder squad.

On a night when sidekick Anthony Edwards had an underwhelming performance, Randle picked up the slack. He’s scored at least 30 points in five games this season, with Wednesday’s effort being his first since November 5. While Randle has only been a top-50 player in nine-cat formats over the past two weeks, his season-long value still places him within the top-20. At this rate, Randle may merit All-Star consideration given how well he’s played this season.
