It’s a tough break during fantasy championship week as both players will get the night off for injury maintenance. Jaylin Williams, Cason Wallace and Alex Caruso should all take on additional minutes with J-Dub and Hartenstein sidelined.

Hartenstein has now recorded at least 10 rebounds in five of his last seven games. The 27-year-old center is an absolutely elite rebounder, but he’s averaging just 21.5 minutes per game in March and had 10 points in a game once in nine games this month. The Thunder have three games upcoming in Week 23, starting with a matchup against the Pistons on Monday.

Gilgeous-Alexander couldn’t be contained by the Knicks’ defense as he led the Thunder with 30 points in the victory over New York on Sunday. The 27-year-old point guard controlled the game by getting to the free throw line 16 times and making 13 free throws. The Thunder have three games upcoming in Week 23, starting with a matchup against the Pistons on Monday.

George produced an excellent all-around stat line on Saturday, which was great news for those rostering him. In the two games he’s played since returning from his suspension, the 76ers’ forward has totaled 54 points, 19 rebounds, six assists, eight steals, two blocks and 10 three-pointers. Describing George as a “league-winner” is a bit strange given his career track record. However, the 25-game suspension has put him in that position since some managers dropped him in the immediate aftermath.

Embiid’s ability to get to the foul line was a factor in Philadelphia’s comeback victory, as he shot 10-of-13 from the stripe. Add in what the former league MVP was able to do within the flow of the offense, and this was a good end to Week 22 for those rostering Embiid. Philadelphia’s four-game Week 23 includes a back-to-back, so managers may only have Embiid for three games. That said, three games of him are better than four games of most starting centers regarding fantasy value.

Oubre did not start in his first game back from an elbow injury, but the playing time was not an issue. He logged 28 minutes while starter Dominick Barlow (three points and two rebounds) played 15. The question is, how long will 76ers head coach Nick Nurse stick with Barlow as his starter? During the preseason, the expectation was that Philadelphia would go small, with Oubre and Paul George being the starting forwards. However, the combination of injuries and Barlow’s play led to him starting. That may change ahead of the playoffs, possibly as soon as Monday in Miami.

Back in the 76ers’ lineup after missing three weeks with a finger injury, Maxey was aggressive from the start. He made his first three three-point attempts and finished with a complete stat line while shooting well over 50 percent from the field. Just as encouraging for fantasy managers was Maxey playing 43 of a possible 48 minutes. Conditioning clearly wasn’t an issue for the star guard. Philadelphia plays four games in Week 23, starting with the Heat on Monday.

Holmgren is back after sitting out Friday’s win over the Bulls with a right hip contusion. Sunday’s game is the first of two in as many nights for the Thunder, who host the Pistons on Monday, so Chet could miss that one. Holmgren’s return on Sunday will push Cason Wallace to the bench, lowering the young guard’s fantasy ceiling.

Maxey is back after missing three weeks with a finger injury, giving the 76ers a welcome boost as they look to avoid the play-in tournament. His return pushes Quentin Grimes ot the bench, limiting Grimes’ fantasy value. There has been no word regarding a potential minutes limit for Maxey, but he doesn’t need heavy minutes to provide reliable fantasy value. VJ Edgecombe, Paul George, Dominick Barlow and Joel Embiid complete the starting five.

Williams’ eight assists were two shy of his season-high, which he last recorded in a January 15 win over the Rockets. J-Dub shot 50 percent from the field, finishing a blocked shot and a three-pointer shy of a complete stat line. Unfortunately for Williams and the fantasy managers rostering him, injuries have limited his impact for most of this season. But all will be forgotten if he can get on a roll during these fantasy playoff weeks.

While Shai Gilgeous-Alexander failed to find his groove from deep, missing all 10 of his three-point attempts, Wallace picked up the slack. He made five of his seven attempts from beyond the arc, with the five triples being two shy of his career-high. Entering Friday, Wallace shot 5-of-27 from distance, so this performance was clearly needed. The Thunder host the Knicks on Sunday to end their Week 22 schedule.

Gilgeous-Alexander extended his streak of games with at least 20 points, but Friday night was a struggle. The reigning league MVP missed all ten of his three-point attempts in his worst shooting night of the season. A solid night at the foul line boosted Gilgeous-Alexander’s point total, but he’ll look to be much better when the Thunder host the Knicks on Sunday.

The Thunder did not get much production from players not named Shai Gilgeous-Alexander on Wednesday, including Holmgren. The ten points were the fewest he’s scored in a game in a month, having tallied seven points in a February 24 win over the Raptors. Nights like Wednesday have not been the norm for Holmgren, who has provided fourth-round value in eight-cat formats since the All-Star break. He’ll look to bounce back when the Thunder host the Bulls on Friday.

In his prior five appearances, Dort shot a combined 6-of-33 from the field overall and 5-of-26 from beyond the arc. To say he needed a night like Wednesday would be a serious understatement. Dort was 4-of-6 from deep against the Celtics. While the defensive production was limited, category-league managers will take the three-point production, which has not always been there for Dort.

While Gilgeous-Alexander managed to extend his 20-point streak by halftime, he did not attempt a free throw during the first half. The reigning MVP was a frequent visitor to the line after the intermission, which factored into him surpassing 30 points for the third time in five games. Add the assists and steals, and Wednesday was an excellent night for managers rostering Gilgeous-Alexander. The Thunder play two more games in Week 22, starting with the Bulls on Friday.

Edgecombe had scored at least 35 points in two of his last three games, but it’s difficult to project that ceiling with Joel Embiid and Paul George back in the lineup. Both Embiid and George took more shots than the 20-year-old point guard on Wednesday. Edgecombe was efficient with 22 points on nine attempts and four three-pointers, but his volume took a hit.

George came back from a 25-game suspension he received after violating the league’s anti-drug policy and had a great game in the 157-137 victory over the Bulls. The 35-year-old small forward had 28 points and six three-pointers in the blowout win.

After not playing for almost a month due to various injuries, Embiid was excellent for 28 minutes against the Bulls on Wednesday. The 32-year-old center had 35 points on 17 attempts from the field.

Oubre, who was diagnosed with a sprained left elbow on March 11, appears to be closing in on a return to action. While he will not play in Wednesday’s game against the Bulls, the ability to resume on-court workouts and participate in pregame shootaround is a step in the right direction. Quentin Grimes, who returns to action after a one-game absence, should remain in the starting lineup until Oubre is cleared.
