Chet Holmgren

Hartenstein finished Friday's win with his ninth double-double of the season, matching his high with 18 rebounds. The offseason addition continues to flourish, closing in on top-50 per-game value in 9-cat formats. With it being unknown when Chet Holmgren will return from his hip injury, managers who have Hartenstein rostered are well-positioned to benefit.

Due to his hand injury before the season began, Hartenstein has only played nine games for the Thunder. However, he's fit in seamlessly, filling the void left by the injured Chet Holmgren. Hartenstein is up to seven double-doubles in nine games, three shy of his total for the 2023-24 campaign. He's providing 6th-round value in 8- and 9-cat formats, exceeding his Yahoo ADP (82).

Hartenstein briefly left the game with a back injury, but still managed to play 37 minutes. The big man has been exactly what the Thunder needed so far in his return as the team is 4-0 with him in the lineup. Oklahoma City is 12-1 when either he or Chet Holmgren play as the team lacks size without either of them. Hartenstein has a double-double in all four games he's played so far this year and will continue to play an important role for the Thunder.

Williams was poked in the eye in the game against the Warriors Wednesday and didn't return, but wasn't listed on the injury report Friday. He started and played 34 minutes in the victory, showing no ill effects. Williams had seen an increase in rebounds with Chet Holmgren out, but didn't have a big rebounding game Friday as Isaiah Hartenstein pulled down 17 boards against the Lakers. Williams typically produces across categories, but if his rebounding take a bit of a hit he'll have to score more to maintain top-10 fantasy player value. The 23-year-ol small forward is capable of doing just that.
