Hartenstein is not at the point where he’s allowed to play both games of back-to-backs, so the decision to sit him on Tuesday was likely done with Wednesday’s game against the Knicks in mind. Chet Holmgren will be available against Chicago, so he’ll pick up some of the slack. Hartenstein’s absence also means more playing time for Jaylin Williams, who is worthy of streaming consideration.

The Thunder open their Week 19 schedule with a back-to-back against the Bulls and Knicks, so it’s unsurprising that some key players will sit out the former for injury management reasons. Gilgeous-Alexander’s absence makes Cason Wallace a more attractive fantasy option in shallow formats, while Jared McCain will be worth a look in some 14-team leagues.

While Holmgren didn’t set the scoreboard on fire with his 19-point effort, Sunday’s victory was his highest-scoring game since dropping 20 in a January 27 win over the Pelicans. Even better for fantasy managers is that he shot the ball well against the Mavericks while also recording a complete stat line. With Chet having sat out one game of the Thunder’s most recent back-to-back, that could also be the case for Oklahoma City’s games against Chicago (Tuesday) and New York (Wednesday) to begin Week 19.

After logging 34 minutes in his first game back from an abdominal strain that sidelined him for just over three weeks, Gilgeous-Alexander played 33 minutes on Sunday. The reigning MVP clearly isn’t under a strict minutes limit, but the Thunder aren’t going to push him too far. Gilgeous-Alexander still put up 30 points on 60 percent shooting from the field, and his final stat line only lacked a blocked shot. Oklahoma City’s three-game Week 19 starts with a back-to-back on Tuesday and Wednesday, so SGA may be limited to two appearances.

After coming off the bench in Wednesday’s loss to the Spurs, Poeltl was back in the starting lineup on Saturday due to Collin Murray-Boyles (thumb) not being available. And he recorded his first double-double since November 11 and the third of the season. Poeltl is still rostered in 78 percent of Yahoo! leagues, so there weren’t a lot of managers who gave up on him. That patience was rewarded on Saturday, but it’s fair to question whether this will be the norm for Poeltl the rest of the season.

Since the All-Star break, Barrett has shot 39.1 percent from the field, so a night like Saturday was needed. The Raptors’ wing had an efficient night on offense, making over 50 percent of his attempts and recording just one turnover in 33 minutes. Due to the limited production outside of points and rebounds, poor shooting affects Barrett’s fantasy value more than it would if he were a productive option across the board in category leagues. He’ll look to build on Saturday’s effort when the Raptors host the Knicks on Tuesday.

Ingram has scored at least 20 points in four of his last five appearances, as he continues to provide solid fantasy value in his first season with the Raptors. Over the past month, his production is just outside the top-50 in category leagues. Add in the fact that Ingram has avoided an extended absence due to injury, and those who selected him in drafts must be pleased with the outcome.

A game that, on paper, looked like it should be a blowout proved to be competitive throughout. And that was good news for those who have Quickley rostered, as he played 37 of a possible 48 minutes. After failing to record an assist in a game for the first time this season in Wednesday’s loss to the Spurs, the Raptors’ guard racked up 11 on Saturday. Quickley’s double-double was his seventh of the season and first since January 20, when he put up 40 points and 10 rebounds in a win over the Warriors. Toronto plays three games in Week 19, starting with the Knicks on Tuesday.

Hartenstein remains under a restriction, so he joined Shai Gilgeous-Alexander on the bench in overtime after logging 25 minutes. The 7-footer was productive while on the floor, filling the stat sheet while shooting 66.7 percent from the field. As long as Hartenstein’s workload is restricted, Jaylin Williams (21 points, five rebounds, three assists, one block and two three-pointers in 26 minutes) will be worth a look in deeper leagues.

With Shai Gilgeous-Alexander back in the Thunder lineup, Holmgren’s scoring opportunities took a hit on Friday. However, there’s more than one way to affect a game. Holmgren was outstanding on the glass, as he recorded his first 20-rebound game, while also blocking three shots. The lone concern for Sunday’s game against the Mavericks is that Oklahoma City gets up big early, as that would likely mean fewer minutes for Holmgren and the other starters.

In the aftermath of his decision to trade Jared McCain to the Thunder, 76ers lead executive Daryl Morey said that he believed that he “sold high” on the second-year guard. Well, that move fortified Oklahoma City’s bench, and McCain has reached double figures in six of his last seven appearances. While his fantasy ceiling is somewhat limited as a reserve, McCain will continue to have opportunities to contribute while the Thunder await the returns of Ajay Mitchell and Jalen Williams.

While Gilgeous-Alexander was not under a specific minutes limit, he logged 34 minutes on Friday and was not on the court for overtime. While the field-goal percentage wasn’t on par with what many fantasy managers expect from the reigning MVP, he still produced a robust stat line. And there may be an opportunity to shave off a few minutes from Gilgeous-Alexander’s workload, as the Thunder end Week 18 on Sunday against the lottery-bound Mavericks.

After playing 16 and 10 minutes in Oklahoma City’s prior two games, McCain logged 29 minutes in Detroit. Isaiah Joe’s leaving during the first half with a glute contusion was a factor, but McCain earned his minutes by dropping his second 20-point game since being traded. Whether McCain is worth the risk in most fantasy leagues will depend on the availability of Joe, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Ajay Mitchell.

Wallace has been on a bit of a heater recently, scoring at least 20 points in three consecutive appearances. The absences of Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Ajay Mitchell have propelled Wallace into a more prominent role, and the third-year guard has answered the call multiple times. Close to a top-50 player over the last month, Wallace is rostered in 31 percent of Yahoo! leagues. That’s far too low a percentage, considering his recent play and the current state of Oklahoma City’s perimeter rotation.

Due to Chet Holmgren and Isaiah Hartenstein being out, Williams was inserted into the Thunder starting lineup for the ninth time this season. And he took full advantage of the opportunity, putting up a career-high 30 points and his third double-double of the season. Wednesday’s game was the second in as many nights for the Thunder, so fantasy managers will need to consider that when evaluating JayWill for the rest of Week 18. However, if Holmgren or Hartenstein can’t play in Friday’s game against the Nuggets, Williams will be worth a long look in deep leagues.

Barnes recorded a complete stat line on Wednesday despite suffering a right quad contusion during Toronto’s loss to the Thunder the night prior.

And that should be a big night for him, given the Wizards’ ongoing rebuild.

Quickley provided points, rebounds and three-pointers on solid percentages, but nothing else. Wednesday’s game was the first in which the Raptors’ guard failed to record an assist, and his final line did not have any steals, either. However, even with his lean stat line against the Spurs, Quickley has still been a top-75 player over the past two weeks, according to Basketball Monster. He’ll look to do a bit more on Saturday when the Raptors visit the Wizards.

Brown had a chance to send Wednesday’s game into overtime, but his three-point attempt from the left corner in the final seconds drifted left and hit the side of the backboard. This was a disappointing end to Ingram’s night, and he’s scored at least 20 points in three of his last four appearances. While his fantasy value has slipped recently, with Ingram being an eighth-round player over the past two weeks, his season-long value remains solid.
