Shai Gilgeous-Alexander News
Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander led all scorers with 33 points as the team grabbed a 2-0 series lead against New Orleans with a 124-92 victory on Wednesday. After struggling from deep in Game 1, Gilgeous-Alexander hit three three-point bombs with five attempts and shot a very efficient 13-for-19 overall. He also bagged a pair of steals and grabbed three rebounds while dishing out five assists. OKC's MVP candidate is averaging 30.5 points through the first couple of postseason games. The Pelicans need to find a way to slow him down if they want to advance to the next round.
Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander was back in the lineup on Tuesday versus Sacramento and put in a big performance with 40 points in a 112-105 win. He added seven rebounds, four assists, two steals, and two blocks to his tally in 38 minutes. Taking care of the basketball was a problem for Gilgeous-Alexander, as he committed five turnovers, but his work in other areas was highly efficient. The Thunder star finished 11-for-21 from the field with a 2-for-3 record from deep and hit 16-for-20 at the foul line. Gilgeous-Alexander's return had a negative impact on Josh Giddey, who was limited to only four points across 21 minutes.
Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (quadriceps) has already been ruled out for Friday's matchup with the Celtics. However, head coach Mark Daigneault stated the MVP candidate won't play for the remainder of the Thunder's road trip, which concludes on Sunday in Indiana. Daigneault added that Gilgeous-Alexander returned to Oklahoma City for conditioning, so it seems he has a chance to return for Thursday's game against the Sacramento Kings. Of course, the team won't push him to return sooner than necessary, even if it means giving up the No. 1 seed in the Western Conference heading toward the playoffs. But with Jalen Williams (ankle) also out, guys like Aaron Wiggins, Chet Holmgren, Josh Giddey, and Luguentz Dort could pick things up offensively.
Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (quadriceps) is listed as out for Friday's matchup against the Indiana Pacers. A left quadriceps contusion will cost Gilgeous-Alexander his fifth out of OKC's last six games, and the 25-year-old MVP candidate will have one more chance to return during fantasy's final round in Sunday's contest against the Charlotte Hornets. Over his last seven games, Josh Giddey is producing 20.1 points on 62.6% shooting from the field, 8.0 rebounds, 6.0 assists, and 1.9 three-pointers per contest. He'll serve as the Thunder's primary playmaker and an exciting fantasy bet in a cushy draw against a Pacers team that sits dead last in opponent field-goal percentage (49.8%).
