Oklahoma City Thunder center Jaylen Hoard played all but 70 seconds of Friday's loss to the Lakers, which enabled the 23-year-old to collect 27 points, 17 rebounds, and four assists in the team's penultimate game of the 2021-22 season. Hoard has been a late season breakout compiler for OKC, having averaged 24.7 points and 14.3 boards per game, all while shooting 56.1% overall in his last three contests. With the Thunder having just six players suit up, Hoard has reaped the benefits and delivered in spades. The team is unlikely to change its plan of attack for Sunday's regular-season finale against the Clippers, where Hoard's sizable workload should make him a DFS asset to target in all formats.

Oklahoma City Thunder power forward/center Jaylen Hoard produced an eye-popping 24-point, 21-rebound evening during Tuesday's win over Portland. Hoard had previously snagged 20 boards in his first career start Friday, but with the Thunder checking just seven players into the game, Hoard feasted on both ends of the floor. In addition to shooting 11-for-17 overall, he added three assists and three steals, delivering an out-of-nowhere elite level night of production. There is little reason to believe Hoard won't continue to see a significant role in Wednesday's contest vs. the Jazz, although fantasy managers will want to check OKC's starting five to confirm that the team is breaking out its new-look lineup again down the stretch of the 2021-22 year.
