Hartenstein returned to the Thunder lineup on Sunday after missing nearly two weeks with a strained left soleus muscle. His ability to play 33 minutes without any trouble is a positive sign for the Thunder and fantasy managers. Hartenstein's return meant Jaylin Williams was out of the starting lineup, and JayWill (6/7/2/1 with one 3-pointer) isn't worth holding onto any longer. Not only did he play just 15 minutes on Sunday, but the Thunder have just two games on their Week 14 schedule.
Following a five-game absence with a left soleus strain, Hartenstein will be back in the lineup against the Trail Blazers. Jaylin Williams has been starting at center, and he has been a decent streaming option. With only one game being played on Sunday, JWill may still have some streaming appeal, but he won't be worth rostering past that with Hartenstein healthy.
Hartenstein (calf) isn't on the injury report for Sunday's game versus the Trail Blazers.
Hartenstein (calf) is out for Thursday's game versus the Mavericks.
Williams has started Oklahoma City's last three games, with his production including each night out. After recording a double-double in Friday's loss to the Mavericks, he dropped a complete stat line against the Nets. Rostered in 11% of Yahoo leagues, JayWill has provided 11th-round value over the past week in 9-cat formats. That isn't great value, but Chet Holmgren and Isaiah Hartenstein's absences make Williams worth the short-term risk.
