Rostered in 40 percent of Yahoo! leagues, Mitchell continues to provide top-50 fantasy value. With Luguentz Dort sidelined by a shoulder injury, the second-year guard should be rostered in 14-team leagues (and some 12-team leagues) until that changes. And Mitchell may be worth holding onto even after Dort and Jalen Williams return from their respective injuries.

Joe is among Oklahoma City’s “supporting cast” who have upped their production to help compensate for the absence of multiple contributors, including Jalen Williams and Luguentz Dort. He recorded his third 20-point game of the season on Wednesday, with the 21 points being one shy of his previous high. Rostered in 12 percent of Yahoo! leagues, Joe is among six Thunder players currently providing top-100 value in nine-cat formats. And with the Thunder ending its week with a game against the Hornets on Saturday, he makes for an intriguing deep-league streaming option.

At this point, you’re better off searching for the games in which SGA fails to reach 30 points. He already has 11 games of 30 points or more and is averaging 32.5 points per game. As expected, Gilgeous-Alexander is right there with Nikola Jokić and Victor Wembanyama in the race for the title of the best player in fantasy basketball. With Jalen Williams among the key players currently out due to injury, one would think that the Thunder would ask even more of their superstar point guard. However, they haven’t needed to, thanks to a combination of his efficient excellence and the supporting cast being stars in their roles as well.

While Avdija’s overall stat line was a bit lean, he’s been on a roll scoring-wise. He’s scored at least 26 points in each of his last five games, a run that includes three 30-point efforts. Avdija has been a top-10 player in nine-cat formats since the beginning of November, evidence that nights like Wednesday have not been the norm. Avdija will look to continue this run of elite scoring when Portland visits Houston on Friday.

While Sharpe has reached double figures in all 11 games he’s played this season, the efficiency has improved substantially since the calendar flipped to November. He’s scored 31 points or more in consecutive games, and over his last five games, the Trail Blazers guard is averaging 25.6 points on 55.2 percent shooting. Sharpe hasn’t provided much production outside of points and three-pointers, making the percentages that much more critical in category leagues.

Grant and Pelicans forward Yves Missi got tangled up near the baseline during the second quarter of Wednesday’s game. Things escalated and both players were eventually ejected for their roles. Grant, in his 12th NBA season, entered the matchup with the Pelicans averaging 19.7 points per game off the bench on 48.3/40.0/85.5 shooting splits, and has enjoyed a nice bounce-back season.

Gilgeous-Alexander needed only three quarters to drop 28 points, falling just shy of eclipsing the 30-point mark for the eighth consecutive contest. The reigning league MVP would’ve accomplished the feat had he not sat out the entire fourth quarter with the game in hand already. The defending NBA champions raced out to a commanding 63-44 halftime lead over the Warriors by shooting 53 percent from three-point range, knocking down eight of 15 from downtown. Oklahoma City returns to action on Wednesday night when they host the Lakers.

After averaging a double-double for the first time in his NBA career last season, Hartenstein is on his way to doing it again in 2025-26. He’s recorded at least 13 rebounds in five games and is responsible for six double-doubles. Hartenstein is ranked well within the top-50 in nine-cat formats, and his skill set is such that maintaining that production level is a realistic possibility. The Thunder play three games during Week 4, starting with the Warriors on Tuesday.

Mitchell continues to shine for the Thunder, recording his fourth 20-point game of the season on Sunday. While fantasy managers are right to wonder what will happen once the reigning champions have their complete rotation, that’s a problem for another day. Until Jalen Williams and Luguentz Dort return from their injuries and are playing starter’s minutes, Mitchell needs to be rostered. And he may even be a hold once those two return. He’s been that good thus far.

Holmgren has scored 20 points or more in just three games this season, including Sunday’s win in Memphis. The good news for fantasy managers is that his value isn’t derived solely from scoring. He recorded another solid stat line against the Grizzlies and is providing top-25 value in nine-cat formats. The Thunder have three games on the Week 4 schedule, and fantasy managers will need to account for Holmgren potentially missing a game due to the Tuesday/Wednesday back-to-back.

Despite getting off to a slow start, Gilgeous-Alexander and the Thunder were dominant in the second half. The reigning MVP shot 6-of-8 from the field in the second half, and there were also frequent trips to the foul line. The result was his tenth game this season with at least 30 points. Gilgeous-Alexander remains one of the best players to have rostered in fantasy basketball, regardless of league format. The only negative is that Oklahoma City plays three games during Week 4 instead of four.

Avdija did a little bit of everything in this back-and-forth shootout, recording his second straight double-double in the process. The 24-year-old forward has been a top-10 fantasy performer over the past week, per Basketball Monster, averaging nearly 31 points, nine rebounds, six assists, and one block over his last three games. It’s a small sample, but it underscores how impactful Avdija can be when he’s rolling — especially for a rebuilding Portland squad short on proven offensive options. The Trail Blazers will continue their five-game road trip on Monday night against the Magic before facing the Pelicans, Rockets and Mavericks to close out a four-game week.

Sharpe, who has been battling calf soreness since late October, came up just shy of notching a double-double in this one and could’ve had an even better scoring night had he not gone a ghastly 1-of-8 from downtown. The 22-year-old scorer is shooting just 38 percent from three-point range on a career-high seven attempts per-game this season. It’s only a nine-game sample, so we’re anticipating some regression here since he shot nearly 45 percent from long range last season.

Mitchell once again filled in for Luguentz Dort and again provided the Thunder with solid production. He didn’t reach the same 20-point mark as he did against the Trail Blazers on Wednesday, but managed to supplement a nice scoring outing on Friday with a season-high 10 assists. The double-double marked the first of the season for the second-year guard, while he compiled four stocks on the defensive end. Mitchell continues to produce in his sophomore season and has turned himself into a roster-worthy player in fantasy leagues.
