Dieng has missed Oklahoma City’s last four games, but his availability does not significantly impact the team’s rotation. Chet Holmgren (ankle) being out may free up a few minutes, but Jaylin Williams and Kenrich Williams are ahead of Dieng in the pecking order.

Caruso got a rest night against Atlanta on Friday, but he will be back in the lineup against San Antonio. With Isaiah Joe sidelined, Caruso should see a few extra minutes off the bench, where he has provided top-100 value in nine-cat leagues over the past two weeks.

Joe’s lower back soreness hastened his exit from Friday’s win over the Hawks, and he will not be available on Sunday. Kenrich Williams may play additional rotation minutes, especially with Chet Holmgren (ankle) also out, but the Thunder will also have Alex Caruso available to absorb some of the available minutes. Caruso is the superior streaming option.

Holmgren exited early from Friday’s win over Atlanta, and it will keep him sidelined for at least one more game. Cason Wallace and Isaiah Hartenstein should both start against San Antonio with Holmgren sidelined for at least one more game.

Kessler was one point away from a double-double Friday. In a game with the interesting subplot of the Jazz controlling Minnesota’s first-round pick this year, the 23-year-old had a game-winning dunk with nine seconds left. Kessler clearly has fantasy value, but his availability is in question down the stretch of the season with the Jazz resting key players at times.

Collier had at least 10 assists for the third time in his last five games. The 20-year-old point guard also had six turnovers, which has been an issue this season. Going forward, Collier’s fantasy value is questionable. He can provide assists, but they come with turnovers and he’s not a big-time scorer. Collier is also now part of a crowded back court with Collin Sexton back from an ankle injury and Jordan Clarkson and Keyonte George not going anywhere.

Collins returned from a three-game absence due to a back injury and had one of his best games. The 27-year-old power forward had 29 points on 18 shots and pulled down 12 rebounds to earn himself a double-double. Collins has fantasy value, but his availability is a concern given both his injuries and the Jazz potential resting key players during the fantasy playoffs.

There’s nothing like facing a team ranked 27th in three-point percentage defense when you’re in a slump. Dort entered Friday’s game having shot 2-of-16 from three in his prior four games. He snapped out of that funk in a big way in Atlanta, shooting 6-of-11 from deep and recording his first 20-point game since February 1 (20 vs. Sacramento). Rostered in 17 percent of Yahoo! leagues, Dort has been ranked outside the top 175 in nine-cat formats over the past three weeks. Friday’s effort was a much-needed step in the right direction.

Williams has scored 20 points or more in three straight games for the first time in a month. The good news for fantasy managers is that the dip in scoring before this run did not do much to damage his fantasy value. Williams has been productive enough across the board to withstand the occasional trouble in a category, so he continues to provide third-round value in eight- and nine-cat formats. Oklahoma City heads to San Antonio, where its road trip will conclude on Sunday.

Gilgeous-Alexander has scored 30 points or more in three of his last four outings as he continues to build his MVP résumé for the team with the second-best record in the NBA. SGA being a top-10 player in eight- and nine-cat formats over the past three weeks represents a step back regarding his fantasy value, which says a lot about how good he’s been this season. Gilgeous-Alexander will look to end Week 17 on a high note when the Thunder visit San Antonio on Sunday.
OKC • Guard • #22

Wallace was in the starting lineup after coming off the bench in Wednesday’s win over the Nets, with Isaiah Hartenstein heading to the bench. While the second-year guard offered limited production as a starter in Atlanta, he can still be a valuable option in points-punt team builds. As for Hartenstein, he contributed 13 points, 10 rebounds, six assists, two steals and one blocked shot in 27 minutes off the bench. And he may move into the starting lineup for Oklahoma City’s next game, as Chet Holmgren sprained his ankle during the first half. The Thunder visit the Spurs on Sunday.

Joe is the second Thunder rotation player to exit Friday’s game with an injury, joining Chet Holmgren (ankle). Kenrich Williams will likely play a few more minutes with Joe sidelined, but he’s unlikely to put up the numbers needed to impact fantasy basketball.

Holmgren sprained his left ankle during the first half of Friday’s game and will not return. He logged 15 minutes and finished with seven points (3-of-8 FGs, 1-of-2 FTs), four rebounds and three assists. If Holmgren misses time beyond Friday, Aaron Wiggins and Isaiah Joe are two players whose minutes will likely increase.

Collins has missed the last three games as he continues to manage a back injury. The 27-year-old power forward is back in the lineup Friday against the Timberwolves. Collins’ return will push KJ Martin back to the bench.

Friday’s game will be the third straight Markkanen has missed due to lower back injury management. As for Clarkson, he will not play after struggling in Wednesday’s loss to the Kings. The returns of Collin Sexton and John Collins will help strengthen the starting lineup. Brice Sensabaugh may come off the bench, but he should continue to play plenty with the Jazz headed for the draft lottery.

Sexton is set to make his return to the court after being sidelined since February 3. The 26-year-old shooting guard’s return comes on the right night as Jordan Clarkson has been ruled out. Sexton will share the backcourt with Isaiah Collier and Keyonte George against Minnesota Friday.

Clarkson has missed three of his team’s previous five games and was an abysmal 1-for-14 from the field in his latest outing. Keyonte George will likely get a chance to step into a starting role again if Clarkson can’t go.

Holmgren is a little banged up with a calf contusion after putting together his best performance since he returned from injury against the Nets. Cason Wallace or Aaron Wiggins could fill in for Holmgren against Atlanta.

Collins has missed Utah’s last three games, but he could be back on Friday. The Jazz hold the rights to Minnesota’s first-round pick this summer, so they may want their best lineup available for this game even if they’re shifting towards tank mode. Collins’ return would push KJ Martin back to a reserve role.

Sexton, who has been out since February 3, has a chance to return to the lineup to take on Minnesota, who will be sending their first-round pick to Utah this summer. Sexton’s return will create a logjam in the backcourt, with Isaiah Collier, Jordan Clarkson and Keyonte George all competing for minutes.

Markkanen has missed Utah’s last two games but could be back against Minnesota. The Timberwolves’ first-round pick will go to the Jazz, which may be a factor in Utah making their veterans potentially available. Brice Sensabaugh will return to a bench role if Markkanen is back.

With Oklahoma City holding a sizeable lead in the standings over the rest of the West, Caruso will get a night off. Cason Wallace, Aaron Wiggins and Isaiah Joe should all divvy up Caruso’s minutes. They have a back-to-back on Sunday and Monday, so Caruso should be well-rested for that.

Wednesday’s performance was one of the worst of Clarkson’s career. He missed his first 13 shot attempts before making a layup with 1:09 remaining, and the outcome was no longer in doubt. As one would expect, the Delta Center crowd cheered the achievement. However, on a serious note, Clarkson is in a tough spot. Due to the inconsistent availability, as improving its draft lottery odds and developing its young talent appear to be the front office’s priorities, Clarkson hasn’t been able to get into a flow regarding his play in games. And that has negatively impacted his fantasy value, which was already low. Fantasy managers are better off with Isaiah Collier, who’s rostered in 39 percent of Yahoo! leagues and finished Wednesday’s loss with nine points, three rebounds, seven assists, two steals and two three-pointers in 26 minutes.

Kessler nearly made history on Wednesday, finishing one rebound shy of a 25/15/5 line on 100 percent shooting. Only one player in NBA history has achieved that feat: Wilt Chamberlain, and he did it on six occasions during his illustrious career. That says a lot when you can be in the same sentence as Wilt, as Kessler nearly was. As for his fantasy value for the rest of the season, that concerns fantasy managers. And it isn’t the production. It’s the availability. The Jazz have already started resting key players, including Kessler, and there’s no reason why they’d stop doing that now, especially with the loaded 2025 draft class. For that reason, Wednesday’s performance may be a good time to “sell high” on Kessler.

Wiggins has been on a roll over the past month, emerging as a player worth adding in deep leagues. A double-digit scorer in 12 straight games, the Thunder wing has been a third-round player in nine-cat formats since February 1. Wiggins is rostered in 23 percent of Yahoo! leagues, and he’s worth a roll of the dice in deep leagues while this run continues.

Williams ended a streak of five games in which he shot below 50 percent from the field on Wednesday, hitting that percentage in a win over the Nets. However, the field goal percentage hasn’t done much harm to his value, as J-Dub has provided fourth-round value in eight- and nine-cat formats over the past two weeks. Williams remains a third-round player for the season, and it would be unsurprising if he cracked the top 25 by the end of the season. Oklahoma City finishes Week 17 and its current road trip with games against the Hawks (Friday) and Spurs (Sunday).

Gilgeous-Alexander has been so dominant this season that it’s nearly an achievement to hold him under 30 points. The Nets managed to do that on Wednesday, as he only attempted 11 shots from the field. However, SGA was 12-of-13 from the foul line, boosting the final point tally. Gilgeous-Alexander has “only” been a top-10 player since the trade deadline, indicating what fantasy managers have come to expect from him in recent seasons.

Back in the lineup after sitting out Monday’s overtime loss to the Timberwolves, Holmgren was sensational in Brooklyn. Not only were the 17 rebounds a season-high, but that’s the most he’s had in his NBA career. Add in the points, assists and defensive stats, and fantasy managers benefitted greatly from Holmgren’s robust stat line. Since returning from his fractured hip on February 7, Chet has provided top-20 value in nine-cat formats. The only concern is back-to-backs, as he hasn’t reached the point where the Thunder will let him play both ends. Given how far ahead of the pack Oklahoma City is in the West, there’s no need to push things in that regard.

Clarkson and Kessler return to the Jazz lineup, with the former returning from a two-game absence. Their returns mean Johnny Juzang and Kyle Filipowski will come off the bench, but fantasy managers who have the latter rostered should hold onto him. Due to the unpredictable nature of Utah’s lineups, Filipowski will play plenty as the season winds down.
