Ruled out for Sunday
Holmgren (back) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Suns.
Analyse
Holmgren will be held out of a second consecutive contest due to lower-back spasms, though he should be good to go for the postseason. With the Thunder listing 10 players out for their regular-season finale, Branden Carlson and Kenrich Williams should see increased playing time in the frontcourt once again.

Ruled out with back spasms
Holmgren won't play Friday against the Nuggets due to back spasms, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.
Analyse
It's unclear as to when Holmgren started to experience the back issue, but it'll be enough to keep him from Friday's action. Aaron Wiggins and Kenrich Williams should be in line for more minutes with Holmgren and Alex Caruso (rest) sidelined.

Full stat line in win
Holmgren tallied 30 points (10-13 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 7-10 FT), 14 rebounds, five assists, four blocks and two steals across 31 minutes in Wednesday's 128-110 win over the Clippers.
Analyse
Holmgren turned in an impressive all-around performance to help the Thunder secure the best record in the NBA for a second consecutive season. The All-Star big man led all players in points, rebounds and blocks while recording his 24th double-double of the season. Additionally, he dished out a season-high five assists and swatted multiple shots for a third straight game.

Double-double against Lakers
Holmgren ended Tuesday's 123-87 victory over the Lakers with 15 points (6-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-3 FT), 10 rebounds, two blocks and two steals across 22 minutes.
Analyse
The double-double was his 23rd of the season, giving Holmgren three more games to produce one more and establish a new career high. The 23-year-old big man had gone six straight games without pulling down double-digit boards coming into Tuesday, as his court time keeps getting trimmed in blowout wins. Over 12 contests since returning from an illness in early March, Holmgren is averaging 15.3 points, 7.9 rebounds, 1.6 blocks, 1.1 threes, 1.0 assists and 0.9 steals in 26.9 minutes.

Scores 21, swats four shots
Holmgren closed Sunday's 146-111 victory over the Jazz with 21 points (8-11 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds, one assist and four blocks over 22 minutes.
Analyse
Holmgren made his presence felt on both ends of the court in this blowout win, as he missed just three of his 11 shots from the floor and recorded his best output in the blocks category since he had five swats in a win over the Sixers on March 23. Holmgren remains a productive player on both ends of the court, averaging 16.2 points, 8.1 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 1.5 blocks per game in 14 contests since the beginning of March.
