The Oklahoma City Thunder (49-11) pulled away with a dominant fourth quarter and secured a 146-132 win over the San Antonio Spurs (25-34) on March 3.
Oklahoma City Thunder Top Performers:
Jalen Williams 41 PTS | 6 REB | 7 AST | 64.7 FPS
JDub erupted for a season-high scoring night, hitting 15-of-24 from the field, a perfect 7-of-7 from the line while also committing zero turnovers. He keeps shining as a top-tier asset for category leagues, consistently delivering solid numbers across the board in every game since the break.
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander 31 PTS | 8 AST | 2 BLK | 56.8 FPS
SGA has been consistently good this season and delivered another full stat-line today. He has scored 30+ points four times in recent games in elite efficiency while also showing noticeable strides from long range. His rebounding might have declined, but made up for it with consistent playmaking and fewer turnovers.
Isaiah Hartenstein 10 PTS | 11 REB | 6 AST | 33.2 FPS
Hartenstein struggled in the two games prior but has stepped up with Holmgren sidelined, posting back-to-back double-doubles with a strong all-around impact. However, his numbers are likely to dip again, once Holmgren returns.
Cason Wallace 19 PTS | 3 REB | 4 AST | 30.6 FPS
Wallace has been producing decent numbers for his position in recent games. He has also logged around 30 minutes in each of his last four outings, so his playing time should remain stable even with Holmgren’s return.
Lu Dort 9 PTS | 9 REB | 1 STL | 25.8 FPS
Dort’s numbers have fallen off after the break, but he’s stepped up in his last two games, dropping 20 points with six threes in his previous outing and nearly securing a double-double today. However, his most consistent value remains in steals.
San Antonio Spurs Top Performers:
Stephon Castle 32 PTS | 8 REB | 3 AST | 42.1 FPS
Castle continues to surge, averaging 26 points over his last three games while excelling from the field and the line. His three-point shooting remains a work in progress, but he contributes well as a rebounder and playmaker. Though still coming off the bench, he should maintain 30+ minutes for the rest of the season.
De’Aaron Fox 20 PTS | 4 REB | 4 AST | 29.8 FPS
Fox is slowly regaining his offensive form after shooting terribly in a recent three-game stretch and has scored 20 points in back-to-back outings despite continued struggles from three. However, his production remains underwhelming for a primary option, and inconsistency remains a concern.
Jeremy Sochan 17 PTS | 4 REB | 4 AST | 30.8 FPS
Sochan has seen more minutes lately, scoring 17+ points with elite efficiency. However, his rebounding remains up-and-down, and his overall value is limited by the team’s inconsistent rotation.
Keldon Johnson 7 PTS | 6 REB | 5 AST | 19.7 FPS
Johnson has been scoring well and contributing positively in other categories since the break, but he couldn’t sustain his performance today after struggling with foul trouble. He remains a decent scoring option but the team’s focus on developing younger players reduces his fantasy upside.
Harrison Barnes 14 PTS | 3-5 3PT | 2 AST | 18.2 FPS
Barnes has seen a limited role in his last two games but stepped up today, scoring in double digits with three three-pointers for the third time in his last five games.
Biggest Disappointment of the Game:
Devin Vassell 15 PTS | 1-7 3PT | 5 AST
Vassell has struggled offensively since the break, which has led to a dip in his overall production. However, he has started to turn things around lately, scoring 15+ points in his last two games while also contributing strongly on the defensive end.
