The Oklahoma City Thunder (41-9) controlled the game from start to finish, cruising to their fourth straight win with a 121-109 victory over the Toronto Raptors (16-36) on February 8.

Oklahoma City Thunder Top Performers:

Alex Caruso 12 PTS | 4 AST | 3 STL | 37.2 FPS

Caruso is a strong contributor on defense and has shown growth in playmaking and rebounding even with limited minutes.

Jalen Williams 27 PTS | 5 REB | 4 AST | 36.0 FPS

JDub has topped 25 points in five of his last six games while continuing to contribute across the board. He’s having a standout season and has emerged as a top-tier fantasy asset, though his production may dip slightly as the team gets healthier.

Chet Holmgren 4 PTS | 2 STL | 4 BLK | 28.5 FPS

Holmgren made his return after nearly three months and made his presence felt on defense. He’ll likely be on a minutes restriction and could sit out tomorrow’s back-to-back game.

Isaiah Hartenstein 12 PTS | 6 REB | 2 STL | 27.2 FPS

Hartenstein’s numbers have taken a noticeable dip recently, and with Holmgren back, his production is likely to suffer further. However, with Holmgren on a minutes restriction and matchups playing a role, he could still find enough opportunities to deliver—making him worth holding for now.

Isaiah Joe 16 PTS | 4-5 3PT | 2 REB | 18.9 FPS

Joe has been a steady hand on offense, recording double-digit points, efficient shooting, and strong volume from three in his last three games.

Toronto Raptors Top Performers:

Scottie Barnes 21 PTS | 4-6 3PT | 4 BLK | 49.0 FPS

Barnes strung together five straight 20-point games recently but has been up and down since, struggling with his shot from the field and from long range. But he rebounded in a strong way today while continuing to stuff the stat sheet throughout the month.

Gradey Dick 17 PTS | 7 REB | 1 BLK | 28.9 FPS

Dick has been a dependable scorer, reaching double figures in 13 of his last 14 games, though he hasn’t topped 20 points in that stretch. While primarily an offensive player, he’s recently added solid rebounding value to his game.

Ochai Agbaji 8 PTS | 8 REB | 2 STL | 25.1 FPS

Agbaji saw a larger offensive role today with the team being shorthanded but couldn’t take advantage. He’s been a decent scorer recently while also contributing positively on the defensive end.

Ja’Kobe Walter 12 PTS | 1 STL | 1 BLK | 20.9 FPS

Walter has quietly been a two-way threat, racking up double-digit points with efficient shooting and good three-point production in five straight games, all while maintaining consistent numbers in steals.

Jamal Shead 7 PTS | 3 REB | 6 AST | 19.6 FPS

Shead has shown promise as both a scorer and playmaker and is likely to see increased opportunities as the team prioritizes development over competing for the rest of the season.

Biggest Disappointment of the Game:

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander 25 PTS | 1-6 3PT | 6 AST

SGA has been an offensive machine, averaging an astounding 41.3 points in his four preceding games, but his performance today was significantly weaker, along with a lesser overall impact.
