With both Chet Holmgren and Isaiah Hartenstein healthy, Williams wouldn't have played a large role even if he was healthy. This will be a second-straight absence for him. Ducas has only played more than 10 minutes in a game twice this season. His continued absence will not impact the Thunder rotation.
Holmgren shook off an off-night against the Bulls where he scored just five points Monday with an excellent bounce back performance against the Pistons Wednesday. The 22-year-old power forward missed all five of his three-point attempts but was otherwise brilliant as he scored 22 points on 14 shots. He pulled down 11 rebounds and was a beast on the defensive end with five blocks. Holmgren also played 33 minutes, eschewing concerns over his hip injury that caused him to miss a game last week.

Williams has had at least 20 points in three of four games since returning from a seven-game absence with a strained right hip. The 23-year-old small forward is the third banana on the Thunder after Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Chet Holmgren, but is still capable of scoring at least 20 points with regularity as we've seen this season. With Williams doing his part, OKC is running on all cylinders as they head into the playoffs.
The lone change is Wallace, whose move into the starting lineup means Isaiah Hartenstein will come off the bench. Managers who have Hartenstein rostered should not be too concerned, as his fantasy value should be fine despite being used as a reserve.
