Wed Jan 4 202316:40Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Will Return To Action Wednesday
Oklahoma City Thunder point guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (illness) has been removed from the team's injury report ahead of Wednesday's contest vs. Orlando, paving the way for him to suit up after a one-game absence. Even without Gilgeous-Alexander in the mix, OKC dropped a season-high 150 points Tuesday. A return from the league's fourth-leading scorer (30.8 PPG) will decrease the DFS value of many members of the Thunder backcourt, namely Josh Giddey, who will defer ballhandling opportunities to Gilgeous-Alexander. The 24-year-old is coming off a third consecutive month of elite fantasy production, as he has compiled at least a 33.1% usage rate across each of the season's first trio of months.

Tue Jan 3 202318:58Shai Gilgeous-Alexander A Late Scratch Due To Illness
Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (illness) will not play Tuesday against the Boston Celtics. Gilgeous-Alexander went through the team's normal shootaround, but started feeling under the weather later in the day before being ruled out. The last time Gilgeous-Alexander sat, Isaiah Joe started and went for 23 points in 26 minutes. Joe, Kenrich Williams and Tre Mann should fill the void in some sort of committee.

Sat Dec 24 202208:28Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Racks Up Career-High 44 Points
Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander continued his sensational campaign with a career-high 44 points in Friday's 128-125 overtime win against New Orleans. It was also a double-double performance for him as Gilgeous-Alexander notched 10 rebounds, and in 43 minutes of action, he managed to add six assists, two steals and one block to his line. SGA shot 17-for-29 from the floor and went 3-for-4 with the three-ball. OKC's rising star has now gone for 40-plus points twice this month and there have been plenty of 30-point efforts, with Gilgeous-Alexander averaging 32.7 points for December. His game isn't all about scoring either, and that makes Gilgeous-Alexander one of the best pieces in fantasy hoops this season.

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (back) is available for Monday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. Originally, Gilgeous-Alexander was ruled out for this game, but it appears he's feeling good enough to get back on the court. This is great news for the Thunder with Joey Giddey (illness) still sidelined. Fantasy managers should make sure to get SGA back in their lineups for Monday. Isaiah Joe will head back to the bench, but should still have some streaming appeal in deep leagues while Giddey is out.

Mon Dec 19 202215:07Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Upgraded To Questionable For Monday
Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (back) has been upgraded to questionable for Monday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. The star guard was originally ruled out for Monday, but it appears he's feeling better. There's a chance he returns to the court on Monday, which would be huge with Josh Giddey (illness) still sidelined. Gilgeous-Alexander would see a higher usage with Giddey on the sideline. Isaiah Joe is also in line for more minutes, but is more of a deep league streaming option.

Sat Dec 17 202219:12Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Josh Giddey Out On Saturday
Oklahoma City Thunder guards Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (back) and Josh Giddey (illness) have been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. This is not good news as the Thunder will be without their starting backcourt on Saturday. Luckily, Luguentz Dort (hand) will play and is expected to carry this offense. Tre Mann, Isaiah Joe, and Aaron Wiggins will all see more playing time as well with Gilgeous-Alexander and Giddey sidelined. Between the three players, Mann has the highest upside and is the most reliable streaming choice.

In 35 minutes on the court, Gilgeous-Alexander also posted one rebound and six assists with three steals, one block and four turnovers. Gilgeous-Alexander has scored below 30 points just once in his past 10 appearances. He's come through all kinds of matchups unscathed, and it's going to be a very special campaign for him if Gilgeous-Alexander can maintain his form until April.

He has gone for at least 30 points in eight of his last nine games and dropped 32 on the Timberwolves back on Opening Night. His status will drastically alter the DFS appeal of all Thunder players, so fantasy managers will want to check back prior to tip-off.

With teammate Josh Giddey (ankle) out, Gilgeous-Alexander should see a massive workload against a Clippers squad who is missing Paul George (illness), Kawhi Leonard (knee) and Marcus Morris (personal). Expect Gilgeous-Alexander to be a focal point in Tuesday's DFS slate.

Mon Oct 24 202221:52Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Will Miss Second Straight Game Tuesday
Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (hip) will sit out Tuesday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. Gilgeous-Alexander will miss his second straight game with a hip injury as the Thunder are likely exercising caution with him. Tre Mann saw the spot start on Saturday without Gilgeous-Alexander, but it was Luguentz Dort who had a team-high 20 points on 15 shots. Dort will likely be asked to handle the scoring on Tuesday as Josh Giddey (ankle) has also been ruled out. A mixture of Dort, Mann, Aaron Wiggins and possibly Aleksej Pokusevski will likely run the offense.
