While ESPN fantasy football is the most popular of the fantasy apps, their fantasy basketball follows closely behind with around two million users. And with the official 2024/25 NBA season on the horizon, experts and analysts are predicting who will be the best performers when it comes to fantasy basketball teams and leagues.
For the Oklahoma City Thunder, they have multiple players on their roster that are placed on ESPN senior writer Andre Snellings' 'Roto and category league rankings for 2024-25'. Here are the list of Thunder players that placed amongst the top 150 players:
| Players | Ranking | Position |
| Shai Gilgeous-Alexander | 4th | PG-2 |
| Chet Holmgren | 11th | C-5 |
| Jalen Williams | 59th | PF-9 |
| Isaiah Hartenstein | 83rd | C-21 |
| Alex Caruso | 110th | SG-22/PG |
To no one's surprise, SGA placed in the top-five as last season he averaged 30 points, six assists and six rebounds. Closely behind was Chet just outside the top-ten, and with an expected rise in production, Holmgren should put up great offensive and defensive numbers for the Thunder. While JDub appears low at just cracking the top-60, the young and rising star should surpass expectations when it comes to fantasy performance.
While it is still up in the air on what the lineup situation with Hartenstein and Caruso will look like, there is no doubt that they will be a crucial part in OKC's success and should see meaningful playing time that will translate to fantasy points.
