Holmgren and Isaiah Hartenstein (10 points, 11 rebounds and one assist in 31 minutes) returned to the Thunder after sitting out Friday’s win over Portland, and both were effective. While the latter recorded his 23rd double-double of the season, Holmgren has blocked at least three shots in 11 games. The second-year forward/center has been a top-25 player since the All-Star break, but availability remains a lingering concern. Holmgren should be considered questionable for Monday’s rematch with the Nuggets, as he hasn’t played both games of a back-to-back since returning from a fractured hip in early February.

While Shai Gilgeous-Alexander will get the headlines, and rightfully so, Williams is in the midst of the most productive stretch of his career. He’s scored 20 points or more in a career-high seven straight games, and the overall production has made him a fantasy standout. Since the All-Star break, Williams has been a top-10 player in eight- and nine-cat formats. While a wrist injury kept Williams out of Friday’s win over Portland, he did play both games of Oklahoma City’s most recent back-to-back. Hopefully, he’ll be available for Monday’s rematch with the Nuggets.

Fox was traded to the Spurs prior to the trade deadline after he and the Kings failed to agree on a contract extension. On Friday, the 27-year-old point guard struggled in a matchup against his former teammates. Fox had 16 points on 17 shots as he shot 35 percent from the floor. It was an off-night, but Fox has been solid overall since the All-Star break as he ranks just outside the top-50 in fantasy value in that time.

Castle has now scored at least 22 points in four of his last five games. The 20-year-old shooting guard has made at least 50 percent of his field goals in four of his last five games as well. Still available in most fantasy leagues, Castle might be worth rostering as he continues to push for the Rookie of the Year Award down the stretch of the season.

Williams moved into the starting lineup with Chet Holmgren (leg) and Isaiah Hartenstein both out Friday. The 22-year-old power forward didn’t disappoint fantasy mangers that chose to use him as a streamer. Williams had a triple-double and added three steals and two blocks on the defensive end. He’s unusable in fantasy leagues once Holmgren or Hartenstein returns, but this was quite an effort from a player that was on the waiver wire in pretty much every league.

Wiggins dropped 41 points against the Kings on February 1 in a game that Shai Gilgeous-Alexander played in. On Friday, with SGA out, Wiggins took on the main scoring role for the Thunder and dropped 30 points in another spot start. The 26-year-old shooting guard has shown he can score from time to time, but generally hasn’t been consistent enough with an 11 points per game average on the season.

SGA has been on a monstrous run as of late, but he’ll take a breather against the Blazers. Williams will miss his first game in over a month, leaving OKC without its top two scorers.

While Cason Wallace was the choice to fill the void in the starting lineup left by Chet Holmgren, Wiggins was more productive. The fourth-year forward rebounded from his lone single-digit scoring effort since February 1 with a 16-point night against the Grizzlies, shooting 66.7 percent from the field. Rostered in 26 percent of Yahoo! leagues, Wiggins has been a fifth-round player in nine-cat formats since February 1. Wallace, an 11th-round player during that stretch, finished Wednesday’s victory with four points, four rebounds, one assist and one steal in 19 minutes.

With Chet Holmgren out of the lineup, Hartenstein stepped up on both ends of the floor Wednesday night. Over the past week, he’s recorded double-doubles in three of his last four games, providing fourth-round value in eight- and nine-cat formats. Due to Holmgren’s injuries this season, there will likely be more nights when Hartenstein is the lone big in the starting lineup. As he’s shown throughout the season, iHart has reliable fantasy value regardless of who is (or isn’t) on the court.

As well as MVP favorite Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has played this season, his sidekick’s play should not be overlooked.

Gilgeous-Alexander produced another masterpiece on Wednesday. He’s scored 40 points or more ten times this season, including each of his last two games. According to Basketball Monster, only Tyrese Haliburton has been better than Gilgeous-Alexander in eight- and nine-cat formats since the All-Star break. He’s the betting favorite for Most Valuable Player and with good reason. The production has been elite, and SGA is leading the team with the NBA’s best record. The Thunder play twice more before the end of Week 18, starting with the Trail Blazers on Friday.

After recording double-doubles in two losses to the Pelicans, Biyombo provided minimal value in the following three games. He managed to snap out of that funk Tuesday night, with the veteran center recording his best stat line of the season. Biyombo hasn’t been the most reliable option, with Victor Wembanyama done for the season, but he’s worth streaming in deep leagues because he’s a starter. There’s no need to add Biyombo on Wednesday morning, as the Spurs don’t play again until Friday. He’ll be worthy of consideration then.

Fox was solid on Tuesday, and that’s all the Spurs needed, with Devin Vassell having the best night of his NBA career. Since the All-Star break, Fox has provided fifth-round value in eight-cat formats, ranking just outside the top 50. With the Spurs trailing the Mavericks by four games in the loss column, getting back into the play-in conversation is not unrealistic. That may motivate the team to allow its veterans to play out the rest of the season, benefiting Fox managers.

Castle’s fantasy value hasn’t been great since the All-Star break, as he’s ranked outside the top 200 in eight- and nine-cat formats. However, his recent offensive production is likely strengthening his case for Rookie of the Year. Castle has scored 17 points or more in four straight games, and the overall stat line on Tuesday was solid outside of the foul shooting. He’s rostered in 41 percent of Yahoo! leagues, which may increase ahead of the Spurs’ games on Friday and Sunday.

Not too long ago, some questioned whether or not it was time for fantasy managers to move on from Vassell. Those who refused to do so were rewarded significantly Tuesday night, as he had the best game of his NBA career. The 37 points were a career-high for Vassell, who shot 8-of-11 from three and recorded a complete stat line. Since the All-Star break, Devin has provided sixth-round value in nine-cat formats. Unfortunately, he’ll have to wait a few days to build on Tuesday’s performance, as the Spurs don’t play again until Friday.

Back in the Thunder lineup after sitting out Sunday’s win over the Spurs, Holmgren didn’t provide much value as a scorer. However, he did hit double figures in rebounds and contributed big in the defensive categories. Holmgren has been a top-25 player since the All-Star break, exceeding his season-long value. The only concern for fantasy managers is the availability. Between the recent injuries and Oklahoma City being well ahead of the pack in the Western Conference, there may be a few more off nights for Holmgren before the end of the season.

Castle was sensational on Sunday, finishing one point shy of his season high. The rookie guard shot over 50 percent from the field against the Thunder and grabbed eight rebounds.

He’s scored 22 points or more in three straight games and has been an 11th-round player in eight- and nine-cat formats over the past week. Despite coming off the bench, Castle will play plenty for the rest of the season.

Fox didn’t necessarily have a terrible Sunday night, but fantasy managers likely hoped for a more robust stat line.

CP3 played 28 minutes on Sunday, finishing with six points, three rebounds, six assists, one block and two three-pointers.

The Spurs forward has provided 10th-round value in nine-cat formats since the break, approaching the top-100.

For the third time this season, Castle has scored 20 points or more in consecutive games. And he was efficient in getting his numbers on Saturday, shooting 50 percent from the field and only committing one turnover in his 32 minutes on the court. Rostered in 34 percent of Yahoo! leagues, Castle has provided 12th-round value in eight-cat formats over the past month. The Spurs haven’t pulled the plug on this season, and with good reason, as they’re still looking to empower De’Aaron Fox as the point guard of the future.

While Vassell’s shooting has not improved much, as he’s made just 37.7 percent of his attempts over the past week, he’s scored 20 points in two of his last three outings. The culprit for the Spurs wing on Saturday was the three-point line, as Vassell shot 2-of-9. He made 70 percent of his two-point attempts, offsetting a poor run from a distance. Over the past month, Vassell has averaged 1.5 three-pointers per game on 25.7 percent shooting. When well over one-third of your attempts are three-pointers, a cold streak will have a more significant impact.

Despite coming off the bench, Sochan remains the best player to add in the aftermath of Victor Wembanyama’s season-ending injury.

While he’s ranked just outside the top 150 in nine-cat formats since the All-Star break, Sochan’s production has been superior to any of the centers used to fill the void since the Spurs lost Wembanyama.

Finishes like Saturday are why the Spurs moved to acquire Fox before the trade deadline. His jumper with 1.8 seconds remaining was the difference in Memphis, as San Antonio pulled out the win despite Jaren Jackson Jr. scoring a season-high 42 points. Over the past three weeks, Fox has provided top-50 value in eight-cat formats. Sharing the court with another point guard, Chris Paul (8/3/8/1 with two three-pointers), has cut into Fox’s fantasy value, but he remains a productive guard to have rostered. The Spurs play three games during Week 18, starting with the Nets on Tuesday.

Castle finished Wednesday’s defeat tied for the team-high in points with Keldon Johnson, but the rookie struggled from deep. He shot 1-of-7 from three and is 2-of-16 since the All-Star break. It’s fair to wonder if the busy weekend in San Francisco has been a factor, as Castle was active on all three days (Rising Stars Challenge, Dunk Contest and Sunday’s All-Star tournament). The good news for fantasy managers is that the points, rebounds, assists and steals were solid on Wednesday; only the field-goal percentage was problematic. While the Spurs don’t want to change their approach as the season winds down, Castle will have ample opportunities to “spread his wings” within the system.

He has averaged 2.8 turnovers per game since making his Spurs debut, so this category has not been a significant issue for Fox.

Vassell didn’t have a great night shooting the ball, but he finished with 20 points after going five straight with 13 or less. With Victor Wembanyama done for the season, many fantasy managers hoped the injury would catalyze Vassell. Unfortunately, that has not been the case, but Tuesday’s stat line helps.
