Posts 29 points in win Holmgren totaled 29 points (8-14 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 9-10 FT), five rebounds, one assist and three blocks in 29 minutes during Friday's 126-107 victory over Houston.

Impact The Thunder have struggled a bit offensively, but when Holmgrean and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander are dialed in at he same time, an excellent team result usually follows. Holmgren has registered double-digit rebounds four times this season, and his five-rebound result Friday was a bit of an outlier. Despite Friday's low number, Holmgren is a nightly double-double threat who will also add his share of blocked shots.

Pulls down 14 boards Saturday Holmgren ended Saturday's 105-92 win over the Clippers with 10 points (3-9 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 14 rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal in 29 minutes.

Impact Holmgren didn't have his best shooting effort Saturday, as he struggled with the physicality of Ivica Zubac near the rim. However, he found other ways to contribute en route to reaching his third double-double of the season. Despite his noticeable two-way impact, Holmgren's shooting numbers have been trending in the wrong direction -- he's failed to surpass the 10-point mark in his last two outings while shooting a 33.3 percent from the field in that span after delivering blistering numbers in his first four contests.

Impact Since Friday's contest was out of hand by the beginning of the third quarter, Holmgren recorded season-lows in minutes, points and rebounds. However, the second-year center still managed to swat five shots. Holmgren is averaging 19.2 points, 9.0 rebounds, 3.8 blocks, 2.8 assists and 1.4 steals in 28.8 minutes across his five appearances this season.

Standout two-way effort Sunday Holmgren supplied 25 points (8-12 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 6-8 FT), nine rebounds, four assists, six blocks and one steal over 33 minutes during Sunday's 128-104 victory over the Hawks.

Impact Holmgren didn't repeat Saturday's output in the win against the Bulls when he grabbed 16 boards, but he did an excellent job of filling out the stat sheet in this one. The six blocks were just two shy of his career-best mark, set as a rookie in 2023-24, and his numbers have been eye-popping to begin the campaign. He's scored 20-plus points in each of his first three appearances this season, while recording multiple blocks each time and grabbing double-digit rebounds twice.

Grabs career-high 16 boards Holmgren delivered 21 points (8-18 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 5-8 FT), 16 rebounds, a steal and two blocks across 29 minutes in Saturday's 114-95 win over the Bulls.

Impact The second-year big man recorded a career-high mark in rebounds in this game, and he's picking things up right where he left them off following an impressive rookie season in 2023-24. Holmgren has opened the 2024-25 campaign on a strong note with at least 20 points and 14 boards in his first two outings. With no competition for playing time due to the injury of Isaiah Hartenstein (hand), Holmgren should consistently see upwards of 30 minutes on a regular basis, making him a double-double threat every time he steps on the court.

Impact Holmgren is coming off an excellent rookie season, and he could have run away with the Rookie of the Year award if Victor Wembanyama wasn't in the mix. The Gonzaga product should see a substantial increase in minutes this season due to the lack of competition on the roster. Isaiah Hartenstein (hand) will be out at least another month, giving Holmgren max minutes at the five.

Impact Holmgren had a rough shooting performance in this preseason contest, but he still made his presence felt on the glass and as a playmaker. The second-year big man is set to open the season in a starting role, though his position and partner in the frontcourt are still undetermined. Holmgren will aim to improve in his sophomore year after averaging 16.5 points, 7.9 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 2.3 blocks per game as a rookie across 82 regular-season appearances in 2023-24.

OCTOBER 10 • ROTOWIRE

Efficient in limited run Monday Holmgren posted 10 points (5-5 FG), two blocks, one rebound and one steal across nine minutes during Monday's 112-107 preseason win over the Spurs.

Impact Holmgren managed to tie the game high in blocks (2) in only nine minutes, and he also ended as the club's fourth-highest scorer while shooting a perfect 5-for-5. The 22-year-old is in for a huge second season alongside Isaiah Hartenstein in the frontcourt, and Holmgren's exceptional two-way abilities will likely make him a mainstay in fantasy lineups.
