OKC • Center and Power Forward • #7
about 24 hours ago
Due to back spasms, Holmgren will sit out the second game of Oklahoma City’s road back-to-back. Jaylin Williams and Kenrich Williams take on added importance within the Thunder rotation, likely as starters. Due to the lack of depth, both are worth a roll of the dice in deep leagues.

Holmgren played through back spasms on Tuesday, but he is expected to miss the second leg of this back-to-back. Isaiah Hartenstein (calf) has already been ruled out, which means Jaylin Williams and Kenrich Williams should both see a bump in minutes and have a chance to start.

Holmgren was initially questionable with back spasms. He’ll take on his usual role within the starting lineup, with Jaylin Williams and Kenrich Williams picking up additional minutes if Holmgren’s back flares up.

Holmgren is listed as questionable for Tuesday’s game against the Raptors with back spasms. The Thunder would be severely shorthanded if Holmgren is ruled out with Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (abdominal), Ajay Mitchell (abdominal) and Jalen Williams (hamstring) also out. Isaiah Hartenstein would likely see the majority of the center minutes if Holmgren is out.

This was an impressive showing for Holmgren, especially against the Cavs’ big men. He dominated the glass against Jarrett Allen and Evan Mobley, matching his season high for boards. He still supplied his typical dose of buckets and blocks as well, but it was his effort on the glass that stood out. He has recorded a double-double in five of his last seven games, which is the type of effort the Thunder will need to stay afloat with Jalen Williams and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander sidelined.

Holmgren didn’t log any blocks or steals against the Nets, but was still able to put together a decent performance from a fantasy standpoint. Almost half of his scoring came from the free-throw line, and he went perfect on his two attempts from beyond the arc before concluding as the Thunder’s second-leading scorer on Friday. Holmgren’s 26 minutes of game action likely prevented him from achieving a stronger stat line. He’ll have a chance to be more productive on Sunday against the Cavaliers.

Holmgren missed Wednesday’s loss to the Spurs with a back injury, but this is his second double-double in a row going back to Tuesday’s win over the Magic. The 23-year-old center has provided fifth-round per game value over the last two weeks, according to Basketball Monster. The Thunder have four games upcoming in Week 17, starting with a matchup against the Lakers on the road on Monday.

Holmgren was one of many key contributors who missed Wednesday’s loss to the Spurs, which was Oklahoma City’s second game in as many nights. His return means that Kenrich Williams will head to the bench, where he’s nowhere near as effective in fantasy basketball.

Holmgren played through the back injury against Orlando, but he’ll sit the second leg of this back-to-back. Isaiah Hartenstein is out as well, so Jaylin Williams should start at center, while Branden Carlson should be available to fill out backup minutes. Williams should hold streaming upside as the primary center, even if the matchup is suboptimal.

Holmgren, Isaiah Hartenstein (calf) and Jaylin Williams (shoulder) are all questionable for the first game of this back-to-back, and the second game being against the Spurs could certainly be a factor there. The center rotation is certainly up in the air, with the only one guaranteed to be healthy is Branden Carlson, who could play a significant role if more than one of the aforementioned bigs is sidelined.

Holmgren recorded a complete stat line on Thursday, but his double-double streak ended at three games. The 7-foot-1 forward/center has been a top-20 player in eight-cat formats, slightly better than his season-long value. And with Isaiah Hartenstein making his return on Thursday, having his sidekick back on the floor may benefit Holmgren in terms of the blocks production.

Holmgren did most of his damage Tuesday in the third quarter, when he had 14 points and seven rebounds. He also had a huge impact on the defensive end with five blocks. Holmgren is holding opponents to 49.3 percent field goal percentage at the rim this year, the lowest mark in the NBA. He’s provided second-round per game value over the last two weeks. The Thunder are off until Thursday, when they take on the Timberwolves.

Holmgren was highly productive in his 33 minutes of game action. In the loss, he made more than half of his shot attempts, contributed from beyond the arc, and was stellar on the glass. And to complement his offensive success, Holmgren added a few blocks on the defensive end. The strong two-way performance isn’t anything new for the former Gonzaga Bulldog. He should remain a nightly double-double threat the rest of the season.

Holmgren has been excellent in fantasy hoops this season, but he hasn’t had many big scoring nights like this one. This was only the fourth time he scored at least 28 points in a game, with two of those coming in his first three games. Holmgren dominated the matchup against the Cleveland bigs, and he ranks inside the top 10 in nine-cat value over the past two weeks. He’ll look to stay hot against the Bucks on Wednesday.

Holmgren has been one of the more impactful all-around fantasy contributors this season, delivering second-round value by averaging 17.8 points, 8.5 rebounds and 2.0 blocks through 37 contests. The 23-year-old center piled up five blocks in this one and has 18 stocks combined over his last four games.

For the first time this season, Holmgren has rejected at least three shots in four consecutive games. He recorded four in Houston, and the two steals made this one of his most productive defensive performances of the season. Add in the rebounds and efficient shooting, and this was a great night to have Holmgren on your fantasy roster. Over the past month, he has provided top-10 per-game value in nine-cat formats, more than picking up the slack while Isaiah Hartenstein (calf) is out.

Holmgren struggled to put up points in Tuesday’s matchup against the Spurs. The 23-year-old center is a double-double machine, but only managed eight points in 25 minutes in the win over San Antonio. Holmgren has now scored 25 points total in his last three games against the Spurs. He’ll look to bounce back offensively against the Rockets on Thursday.

Holmgren continues to be a double-double machine this season, accomplishing the feat for the 10th time in 34 games this season. The 23-year-old center will face a pair of tough assignments next week when the Thunder wrestle with the Spurs and Rockets before a rematch against the Heat.

Holmgren is back after a one-game absence. Branden Carlson, who moved into the starting lineup for Friday’s win over the Grizzlies, will slip to the back end of the rotation.

Holmgren, who last missed a game on December 22, will not play on Friday due to soreness in both shins. With Isaiah Hartenstein also out, Branden Carlson may be the next man up. He started that December 22 win over the Grizzlies, finishing with 11 points, three rebounds, two assists and three three-pointers in 25 minutes. While the fantasy upside is limited, Carlson is worth a look in deep leagues due to Oklahoma City’s depleted frontcourt.

Holmgren delivered his best performance of the calendar year, putting on a two-way clinic to help end the Thunder’s two-game skid. In his season-high 40 minutes of game action, Holmgren led his team in blocks, was the only OKC player to collect double-digit rebounds, and finished as one of two to score at least 20 points. Struggles from the free-throw line and from beyond the arc prevented him from finishing with greater scoring totals. Still, he had an impactful night and should be in line for another good outing on Friday against the Grizzlies.

As Shai Gilgeous-Alexander said during his interview after Friday’s 37-point win, the Thunder are a different team when Holmgren is at his best defensively. And fantasy managers benefit as well. With Isaiah Hartenstein (calf) out, Oklahoma City needs more from Holmgren, and he answered the call on Friday. He’s recorded four double-doubles in his last five outings and totaled 16 blocks over his previous four. Over the past two weeks, Holmgren has provided top-20 per-game value in eight-cat formats.

In a December full of near-double-doubles, Holmgren was able to collect his second game of at least 10 points and 10 rebounds on Wednesday — he needed just 25 minutes to achieve the feat. Yet, what the former Gonzaga Bulldog did defensively was perhaps even more impressive, tallying eight stocks and setting a new season-high in blocked shots in the process. A blowout win prevented him from doing more damage, but he still finished with a productive night from a fantasy basketball standpoint.

Holmgren recorded his second consecutive 20-point effort, falling one rebound shy of a double-double. The 23-year-old center is well positioned to take advantage of favorable matchups against the Trail Blazers, Warriors and Suns over the rest of the week — three teams that lack a true, high-end rim-protecting presence.

Holmgren took full advantage of Philadelphia’s lack of premium frontcourt defenders with Joel Embiid sidelined due to knee and ankle issues. The 23-year-old dominated defensively and finished one rebound shy of a double-double in an impressive all-around effort where he drained 10-of-13 shots from inside three-point range. It was a much-needed bounce-back performance after being limited to just 17 points combined over his previous two games against the Spurs. Oklahoma City snaps a two-game losing streak and will complete a back-to-back on Monday against the Hawks before facing the Trail Blazers, Warriors and Suns to close out a four-game week.

Holmgren’s two games against the Spurs this week were a struggle. In the defeats, he totaled 17 points, 15 rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one three-pointer. While the Thunder certainly have the depth to compensate for the occasional off night, the matchup with San Antonio has proven to be one in which the champs need all hands on deck (the Spurs are 3-0 against OKC this season). Holmgren will look to bounce back on Sunday against the 76ers, but that’s the first game of a back-to-back. Hopefully, he can play both contests.

Holmgren and Hartenstein are back after sitting out Monday’s win over the Grizzlies. Their returns mean that Cason Wallace and Branden Carlson head to the bench. While Wallace will remain in the rotation, there’s a high likelihood that Carlson will not.

Holmgren will join Isaiah Hartenstein and Jaylin Williams on the sideline, which should lead to additional playing time for Branden Carlson. Oklahoma City could opt to go small, with Jalen Williams and Cason Wallace handling additional responsibilities.
