Bazley amassed 29 points (11-19 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 4-8 FT), 10 rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal in 39 minutes during Sunday's 125-118 loss to Memphis.
EDGE Analysis
Bazley notched his first double-double since Feb. 25 and was one of the best players for the Thunder in this loss. He's not expected to clear the 25-point mark on a regular basis, as this was the first time he reached the 15-point mark since the league resumed following the All-Star break.

Bazley totaled two points (1-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt), four rebounds, one assist, two blocks and one steal in 18 minutes during Friday's 138-101 loss to the Timberwolves.
EDGE Analysis
Bazley managed just two points in the loss, the third time he has done so in the last six games. He remains one of the most inconsistent assets, from both a fantasy and a reality standpoint. Luckily, his defensive contributions are typically enough to set a relatively stable floor, meaning he can be rostered in 12-team formats, albeit better suited for those punting points.

Bazley registered 23 points (8-17 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 5-7 FT), eight rebounds, three assists and one steal across 40 minutes during Monday's 127-123 overtime win over the Knicks.
EDGE Analysis
Bazley scored in double digits for the sixth game in a row, and the power forward continues to make an impact for the Thunder on both ends of the court since he's also grabbed at least eight boards in each of his last three contests. While he's not the most efficient scorer out there, Bazley has been playing well of late and is averaging 17.5 points per game during that aforementioned six-game stretch.

Bazley scored 17 points (7-21 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT) while adding eight rebounds, five assists, three blocks and two steals in 35 minutes during Saturday's 106-101 loss to the Bulls.
EDGE Analysis
The Thunder could have used a bit more shooting efficiency from the third-year forward, but Bazley still made a big impact on the defensive end as he recorded multiple steals and blocks in the same contest for only the second time this season. Since moving back into the starting lineup Feb. 4, Bazley is averaging 14.3 points, 9.0 boards, 2.0 assists, 1.7 steals, 1.3 threes and 0.8 blocks through six games.

Bazley finished with 14 points (5-10 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 15 rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal in 34 minutes during Friday's 100-87 loss to the 76ers.
EDGE Analysis
Bazley recorded his fourth double-double of the season, and the fact that he's done that twice over his last six appearances is certainly an encouraging sign going forward. Plus, the 15-rebound output represented a season-high mark for him.

Bazley had 15 points (5-7 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds and three assists across 26 minutes during Monday's 98-81 win over the Trail Blazers.
EDGE Analysis
Bazley led OKC reserves and finished second on the team overall with 15 points in the low-scoring victory. The third-year forward was an impressive 5-for-7 from the field and 3-for-4 from deep, belying his ugly 40.1 percent shooting mark on the season. The poor field-goal percentage is certain to scare off plenty of fantasy managers despite Bazley's ability to post a fair amount of boards and blocks.

After coming off the bench in 10 straight games, Bazley has earned himself another chance with the first unit.

Derrick Favors will come off the bench and Jeremiah Robinson-Earl will get a look at center as a result of this lineup change.
