Player News

NBC SportsJaylin Williams amassed 14 points (6-of-9 FGs), eight rebounds, five assists, one steal, one block, and two 3-pointers in 27 minutes in Sunday's win over Brooklyn.

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.

NBC SportsShai Gilgeous-Alexander, Cason Wallace, Isaiah Joe, Luguentz Dort, and Jaylin Williams will start Sunday's game against the Nets.

The Thunder are without Jalen Williams, who will not play due to a strained right hip. He'll be replaced in the starting lineup by Joe, who's worth streaming in deep leagues due to the 3-point potential. JayWill will continue to start at the center position because the Thunder do not have Chet Holmgren or Isaiah Hartenstein.

NBC SportsAccording to ESPN's Shams Charania, Chet Holmgren (right iliac hip fracture) is progressing in his recovery and will be re-evaluated in 3-5 weeks.

Holmgren is progressing in his recovery, but the reported timeline means he'll likely be out through the All-Star break, at a minimum. With Isaiah Hartenstein currently out with a left soleus strain, Jaylin Williams will have increased opportunities to contribute. The absence of Holmgren and Hartenstein also means there will be times when Jalen Williams is shifted to the five as part of a smaller lineup, which boosts the values of Aaron Wiggins and Isaiah Joe.
