Chet Holmgren added 15 points (6-of-11 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), eight rebounds, one assist, one block and one three-pointer in the win over the Mavericks on Friday.Holmgren made the most of his 23 minutes on Friday, tying a team-high in rebounds and finishing as one of OKC's top-three scorers on the evening. He played his role well on both ends of the floor, with another blowout victory not requiring much individual production from the former Gonzaga Bulldog. Holmgren has scored at least 15 points in four straight games and flirted with a double-double in each -- he'll have a chance to earn one on Sunday against the Jazz.
Chet Holmgren accounted for 21 points (8-of-12 FGs, 3-of-3 FTs), eight rebounds, three assists, one block and two three-pointers in Tuesday's win over the Warriors.Oklahoma City's win streak hit 13 games on Tuesday, and Holmgren has seven 20-point games during the run. On Tuesday, he shot 66.7 percent from the field and was a steal shy of a complete stat line. Over the past month, he has provided sixth-round value in nine-cat formats. That doesn't align with Holmgren's Yahoo! ADP (26), but it's not like he's been a disappointment in fantasy basketball. Plus, the skill set is such that he's capable of going on a run that would get his value closer to preseason expectations.
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Cason Wallace, Ajay Mitchell, Jalen Williams and Chet Holmgren will start Tuesday's game against the Warriors.An adductor injury has sidelined Luguentz Dort, opening up a spot in the starting lineup. Mitchell, who has provided solid fantasy value whether he starts or comes off the bench, will fill the void. He should already be rostered in 14-team leagues, and some 12-team leagues as well. The other four starters are unchanged.
Brandin Podziemski, Moses Moody, Will Richard, Jimmy Butler III and Draymond Green will start Tuesday's game against the Thunder.Warriors head coach Steve Kerr made just one change to his starting lineup, replacing Quinten Post with Richard. The smaller lineup may work better defensively, mainly since the Thunder employs only one big man in their current five (Chet Holmgren). Starting gives Richard a higher fantasy ceiling, but he is not a must-stream in this spot.
