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.

Coulibaly had a strong scoring effort in this game, though he was limited to 19 minutes and didn’t play the final 18 minutes of this game. He has certainly shown some scoring prowess in recent weeks, though his minutes have been limited as Washington continues to prioritize improved lottery odds. Coulibaly should be an intriguing option in fantasy drafts next season, but his impact for the rest of this year will be limited.

Riley has been playing big minutes for Washington for a while now, but he was pushed to the bench for this game. However, it ended up being one of his best performances of the year, and he ended up having one of his most efficient shooting performances of the season. Riley should continue to be productive as the season comes to a close, though he may not be able to maintain this level of efficiency moving forward.

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 Wizards welcome back Sarr after not having him for Wednesday’s win over the Jazz. He’ll start with Tristan Vukčević serving as his backup, and Julian Reese is inactive. The other change to the lineup is Johnson, whose return pushes Will Riley to the bench.

Washington’s frontcourt will get some much-needed depth back as Sarr returns from a two-game absence, and Vukčević returns after one game on the sideline. Julian Reese went off for 27 points and 16 boards against the Jazz, but Reese’s fantasy value takes a major hit against Golden State.

Sarr has missed Washington’s last two games, while Vukčević did not play in Wednesday’s win over the Jazz. Julian Reese was outstanding as the starting center in Utah, putting up 27 points and 16 rebounds. He would likely retain that role if Sarr and Vukčević remain out on Friday. However, if one can play, Reese could be made inactive with Anthony Gill remaining in the backup role.

Black may not have done much scoring on Wednesday, but the overall line would have category league managers salivating if recorded by a more established player. In six prior appearances this season, he totaled three steals and four blocks. Against the Jazz, Black was responsible for three steals and three blocks while also recording seven rebounds, three assists and three three-pointers. Since Black is not guaranteed to be active every night as a two-way contract player, he should not be rostered in redraft leagues.

Hardy has reached double figures in each of his last five games, putting up 20 or more in the last two. While he doesn’t do enough in the other categories to be worth the risk in most category leagues, there could be some value gained in deep points leagues. However, Hardy is not a must-add player by any means since he is still coming off the bench.

Reese fell one point shy of a 20/10/5 stat line, but few fantasy managers are going to lose any sleep over that. The rookie wing’s double-double was his second as a pro, and he posted the numbers on solid percentages. Also, Riley combined with fellow rookie Julian Reese to become the first Wizards rookie duo to post double-doubles in the same game since John Wall and Jordan Crawford on March 23, 2011, against the Clippers.

While Reese started four of his first five games as a Wizard, Wednesday was his first appearance since March 16 due to his status as a two-way contract player. The rookie forward made the most of his opportunity, scoring a season-high 26 points while grabbing 17 rebounds. Reese’s opportunities depend on the availability of Alex Sarr and Tristan Vukčević, both of whom were out on Wednesday. The next time that happens, fantasy managers should not hesitate to stream Reese.

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.

The Wizards have made two changes to their starting lineup for Wednesday’s game. Reese will start for the injured Tristan Vukčević, while Black steps in for Jamir Watkins, who will come off the bench. Reese has a 20-rebound game to his credit this season, and he’s worth streaming in deeper leagues for this matchup.

Hartenstein was one point away from a triple-double with 20 rebounds in Saturday’s win over the Wizards. He didn’t have quite as good of a game on Monday against the 76ers, but he put up another double-double.

After racking up eight assists in a March 14 loss to the Celtics, Carrington totaled ten in the four games that followed. While that stretch included a 30-point night, Bub’s growth as a playmaker for others is one of the key storylines for the Wizards over the last month of the season. And that’s with it being clear that Trae Young will be running the show in the future. Carrington recorded eight assists and three turnovers, a solid night despite it occurring in a blowout defeat. The Wizards play three games in Week 22, starting with the Jazz on Wednesday.

Due to the many absences from the Wizards’ rotation, Hardy was given more room to contribute offensively on Sunday. A double-digit scorer in four straight and seven of his last eight appearances, the 25 points are a new season-high for the fourth-year guard. While Hardy has been on a good run recently, his opportunities aren’t a priority compared to Will Riley (11/1/4 with one three-pointer) or, when healthy, Tre Johnson. Redraft league managers should leave Hardy on the waiver wire.
