Hartenstein logged 26 minutes in Tuesday’s win, and now he will sit out the second leg of OKC’s back-to-back. Jaylin Williams should get the start at center with Hartenstein sidelined and Chet Holmgren (back) listed as doubtful.

Hartenstein returned from a calf injury and logged 24 minutes in OKC’s win over Brooklyn. In his time on the floor, he led all Thunder players in rebounds and blocks, while finishing the game as one of five OKC players to score in double figures. Hartenstein’s production on Friday was about where it’s been throughout the season. He’s capable of more, but fantasy managers should expect him to stick around these numbers that fall pretty close to his averages.

Hartenstein will get the night off for the second leg of Oklahoma City’s back-to-back set, which means Chet Holmgren should shoulder the load at center. Jaylin Williams will likely see a big bump in playing time, as Jalen Williams is also out.

With Oklahoma City playing its second game in as many nights, Hartenstein was held out of Wednesday’s loss to the Spurs. His return means that Jaylin Williams heads to the bench, with JayWill’s streaming value taking a hit.

Hartenstein and Chet Holmgren (back) are both sidelined for the second leg of the Thunder’s back-to-back. Jaylin Williams and Branden Carlson should fill out the center minutes, though only Williams will have any upside as a streaming option.

Hartenstein had his first triple-double of his career and remarkably accomplished that feat with just 23 minutes played. Thunder coach Mark Daigneault compared his 27-year-old center to former Thunder triple-double artist Russell Westbrook during his postgame press conference. Hartenstein has provided eighth-round per game value this season. He should still be fresh for Wednesday’s game against the Spurs on the second night of a back-to-back.

Recently sidelined by a strained calf, Hartenstein was on the injury report for Tuesday’s game due to an illness. He’s good to go and will take on his usual responsibilities as part of the Thunder starting lineup. With Hartenstein available, Jaylin Williams loses most of his appeal as a streaming option.

Hartenstein joins Chet Holmgren (back) and Jaylin Williams (shoulder) as questionable for this game, which is the first of a back-to-back. It’s unclear if the Thunder will choose to stagger the availability of their bigs or ensure all are healthy against the Spurs on Wednesday. Hartenstein returned to the starting lineup in his last game and will likely occupy that role in whichever game he suits up for since he will likely sit one after missing a month with this calf injury.

After coming off the bench in Thursday’s loss to the Timberwolves, Wallace and Hartenstein are in the starting lineup for Sunday’s matchup in Denver. Their moves into the lineup push Aaron Wiggins and Jaylin Williams to the bench. While Wiggins can still offer tangible fantasy value in his role, JayWill is worth leaving alone.

Thursday’s game was Hartenstein’s first since December 28, and he was used in a reserve role. While there weren’t any defensive stats, the 7-footer shot the ball well and was also productive as a rebounder. Jaylin Williams (5/4/1/1 with one three-pointer) remained in the starting lineup and played 27 minutes, but the roles will reverse eventually. The Thunder visit the Nuggets on Sunday in their final game of Week 15.

Thursday’s game will be Hartenstein’s first since December 28, with his return giving the Thunder another option in the front court. While usually a starter, iHart could be used in a reserve role in his first game back, depending on the restrictions he’s under. If Hartenstein starts, Jaylin Williams will head to the bench.

Hartenstein will miss his 16th consecutive game on Tuesday when the defending champs host the Pelicans and look to snap a two-game losing streak. Since his last appearance on December 28, the Thunder have gone 10-5. Hartenstein’s interior presence is missed, but while he remains out, Jaylin Williams and Chet Holmgren will likely continue to soak up the frontcourt minutes.

Hartenstein remains out, having last played on December 28. With Ajay Mitchell also out, Isaiah Joe and Aaron Wiggins are potential replacements in the starting lineup. Since Wiggins was not available, Joe received the nod in Friday’s loss to the Pacers, playing 30 minutes.

Still without a return timeline, Hartenstein has not appeared in a game since December 28. Aaron Wiggins could be tabbed to fill the void in the starting lineup on Friday, but he’s listed as questionable. Isaiah Joe and Kenrich Williams are potential alternatives, with the former offering higher fantasy upside.

Hartenstein has not appeared in a game since December 28, and it’s unknown when he’ll be healthy enough to return. Jaylin Williams entered the starting lineup for Monday’s win over the Cavaliers, due mainly to the matchup. Aaron Wiggins is a more secure streaming option while Hartenstein remains out.

Wednesday’s game will be the second that Hartenstein has missed with a right soleus strain, which is concerning for fantasy managers. With Jaylin Williams (heel) also out, the minutes that would have gone to Hartenstein should be divided among multiple players, including starter Chet Holmgren and reserve Kenrich Williams. There’s a possibility that Branden Carlson could get into the rotation due to the matchup, but he is not worth streaming.

Jaylin Williams (heel) is also out, so big minutes should be available for Chet Holmgren and Jalen Williams in the frontcourt. Hartenstein’s absence shouldn’t be too concerning to fantasy managers, as he’s sitting out the second leg of a back-to-back set, which was an expected outcome due to his lingering calf injury.

Hartenstein finished Thursday’s defeat with his eighth double-double of the season and first since November 15. The lingering concern is his availability, with Hartenstein still working his way back from a strained calf. Before Thursday, he had not appeared in consecutive games since November 23-26. For that reason, fantasy managers should anticipate Hartenstein sitting out one of Oklahoma City’s next two games, Sunday against Philadelphia or Monday against Atlanta.

Thursday’s game is the first of two in as many nights for the Thunder, who take on the Timberwolves on Friday. Hartenstein’s absence opens up a spot in the starting lineup, with Cason Wallace likely filling the void. While he may not offer much as a scorer, he doesn’t need to in order to provide solid fantasy value when allowed to start.

Victor Wembanyama wasn’t the only post player making their return to action on Saturday. Hartenstein was back in the Thunder lineup after missing six games with a strained right calf, and his minutes were restricted. The 7-footer played 20 minutes and was productive, recording a complete stat line. Hartenstein doesn’t need a high usage to provide reliable fantasy value, but he is more “high floor” than “high ceiling.” Cason Wallace moved to the bench on Saturday, finishing with seven points, three rebounds, one assist, two steals and one three-pointer in 27 minutes.
