Thunder's Chet Holmgren: Just misses double-double Monday
Rotowire
Holmgren registered 13 points (6-11 FG, 1-3 3Pt), nine rebounds, one assist, two blocks and two steals in 30 minutes before fouling out of Monday's 114-110 overtime win over the Pistons.
The 23-year-old center fell one board short of his 23rd double-double of the season, which would have tied his career high. Holmgren also delivered multiple blocks and steals in the same game for the first time since March 1, and through 12 games on the month, he averaged 16.6 points, 8.5 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 1.3 blocks, 1.2 threes and 0.8 steals while shooting 54.5 percent from the floor.

Thunder's Chet Holmgren: Sniffs double-double
Rotowire
Holmgren finished with 16 points (5-10 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 6-7 FT), nine rebounds, two assists and one steal over 33 minutes during Sunday's 111-100 win over the Knicks.
Holmgren ended just one rebound away from recording what would've been his third double-double over the last six games. Perhaps more importantly, the big man didn't show any ill effects from the hip contusion that forced him to sit out Friday's game against the Bulls. Holmgren is averaging 16.0 points, 9.7 rebounds, 1.9 assists and 1.5 blocks per game since the All-Star break and remains a productive presence for the Thunder on both ends of the court, although he's going to play as the third offensive option now that Jalen Williams is back in the lineup.

Thunder's Chet Holmgren: Ruled out Friday
Rotowire
Holmgren is listed out for Friday's game against the Bulls due to a right hip contusion.
Oklahoma City didn't include Holmgren on its initial injury report, but the hip issue may have been something that cropped up during the Thunder's morning shootaround. In any case, Holmgren's absence could reopen a spot in the rotation for Aaron Wiggins, while centers Isaiah Hartenstein and Jaylin Williams could have slightly higher minutes floors.

Thunder's Chet Holmgren: Doesn't stand out in loss
Rotowire
Holmgren ended with 10 points (3-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT) and five rebounds in 26 minutes during Wednesday's 119-109 loss to the Celtics.
Holmgren didn't have his best performance but managed to score in double digits for an 11th consecutive game. The star big man is averaging 16.8 points, 9.5 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.5 blocks per game in that stretch while shooting 55.4 percent from the floor and 35.9 percent from deep. Holmgren's role on offense is likely to decrease a bit in the coming games, as Jalen Williams is expected to work as the No. 2 option behind Shai Gilgeous-Alexander.

Thunder's Chet Holmgren: Denies five shots
Rotowire
Holmgren chipped in 17 points (6-11 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds, five blocks and four assists across 30 minutes during Monday's 123-103 victory over the 76ers.
Holmgren fell one rebound shy of a double-double in a strong performance that also featured five blocks. The Gonzaga product, who entered Monday averaging 1.9 blocks per game, has now recorded five-plus blocks in four contests this season, with his most recent occurrence prior to Monday having been on Dec. 31. The 23-year-old will look to maintain a high level of play and stay healthy through the remainder of the regular season as the Thunder prepare to defend their title and pursue back-to-back championships.

Thunder's Chet Holmgren: Listed as questionable
Rotowire
Holmgren is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Nets with a bruised left hip.
The Thunder could take a cautious approach with the All-Star big man versus an inferior opponent, but they may need Holmgren, as Isaiah Hartenstein (rest) is sitting out the second night of a back-to-back set. Jaylin Williams and Aaron Wiggins could both work their way into the streaming mix in most fantasy leagues Wednesday.

Thunder's Chet Holmgren: Won't play Monday
Rotowire
Holmgren (illness) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Nuggets.
Holmgren will miss a second straight game while battling the flu.

Holmgren's next chance to play will come Thursday against the Celtics.

Rotowire
Holmgren posted 28 points (11-19 FG, 6-11 3Pt), eight rebounds and two assists across 32 minutes during Wednesday's 103-100 win over the Knicks.
Holmgren was hot to start Wednesday's game, drilling six triples to tie his career high in three-point makes by halftime, but the Knicks did a good job of keeping him out of the mix over the second half. The 23-year-old big man and first-time All-Star has been having a career year this season with averages of 17.1 points, 9.1 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 1.2 triples and 2.0 blocks per contest.

Thunder's Chet Holmgren: Stuffs stat sheet in win
Rotowire
Holmgren registered 19 points (8-14 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds, one assist, two blocks and two steals in 28 minutes during Sunday's 100-87 victory over the Mavericks.
Holmgren delivered a bounce-back performance on offense. This 19-point output was his best mark since he recorded 20 points in a win over the Pelicans on Jan. 27, and he finished just one board shy of posting what would've been a second straight double-double. Holmgren is averaging 14.6 points and 12.2 rebounds per game since the All-Star break and should continue to operate as the Thunder's No. 2 option on offense behind Shai Gilgeous-Alexander as long as Jalen Williams (hamstring) remains on the shelf.

Thunder's Chet Holmgren: Doubtful for Wednesday
Rotowire
Holmgren (back spasms) is doubtful for Wednesday's game against the Pistons.
Wednesday's game is the second leg of a back-to-back set, so this has all the makings of a maintenance day. Isaiah Hartenstein (rest) is also out, meaning the Thunder could rely heavily on Jaylin Williams.

Thunder's Chet Holmgren: Iffy for Tuesday
Rotowire
Holmgren is questionable for Tuesday's game against Toronto with back spasms, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.
Tuesday is the front end of a back-to-back, so it's not shocking to see Oklahoma City think about giving the star big man a maintenance day. Jaylin Williams and Kenrich Williams could both be thrust into an elevated role if Holmgren isn't available Tuesday.

Thunder's Chet Holmgren: Ruled out Wednesday
Rotowire
Holmgren (back) will not play Wednesday against the Spurs.
The Thunder are sitting multiple players for the second leg of this back-to-back set, and that also includes Isaiah Hartenstein (eye). With that in mind, Jaylin Williams could be set up for a healthy workload Wednesday, and Branden Carlson could see more run as well.
