Tue Mar 7 202318:34Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Jalen Williams Ruled Out Wednesday
Oklahoma City Thunder guards Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (rest) and Jalen Williams (wrist) will not travel with the team ahead of Wednesday's game versus the Phoenix Suns. The Thunder have already ruled out Williams for Tuesday's game, but both he and Gilgeous-Alexander are being ruled out ahead of their second game in the back-to-back set. It was reported Gilgeous-Alexander would be rested down the stretch, but there is no word of Williams' timeline with his wrist injury. Aaron Wiggins and Isaiah Joe figure to see boosts in fantasy value heading into the back-to-back while Josh Giddey should also see a slight increase in usage.

Mon Mar 6 202308:51Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Returns With 38 Points
Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander ended a five-game absence with an impressive 38-point performance in Sunday's 129-118 victory over Utah. He's been battling an ankle problem, an abdominal strain and even landed in the health protocols, but none of this had any effect on Gilgeous-Alexander's form, as he finished with 10-for-17 shooting from the field and capped off his line with seven rebounds, four assists, three steals and one block. It was great to see SGA back, but there was also some bad news for fantasy managers on Sunday, as Thunder head coach Mark Daigneault suggested that the team will be limiting Gilgeous-Alexander's workload for the rest of the season to manage his abdominal strain. He even said that if it was the beginning of the season, Gilgeous-Alexander would be shut down, as you can only recover from the injury with rest.

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (abdominal/health protocols) will sit out his fifth consecutive game due to both an abdominal strain and being in the health and safety protocols. Over the last couple of seasons, the Thunder seem to always play it on the safer side by either shutting Gilgeous-Alexander down or giving him plenty of rest days. Fantasy managers will want to keep tabs on his status while they look to Isaiah Joe and Aaron Wiggins as possible streaming options down the stretch.

Sun Feb 26 202312:37Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Out Again On Sunday Night
Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (ankle, abdomen) won't play on Sunday versus the Sacramento Kings. SGA has a sore right ankle and an abdominal strain, so he didn't suit up on Friday against the Phoenix Suns either. As a result, Isaiah Joe entered the starting lineup and finished the night with 28 points and seven rebounds while shooting an efficient 6-for-12 from deep. With that said, Joe will make an ideal DFS option on Sunday, although he'll also be a popular one.

The 24-year-old scored 39 points in 41 minutes during the narrow overtime loss to Utah on Thursday, so he may be just getting a night off to rest. Nevertheless, without SGA in the lineup,Josh Giddey is the favorite to lead the way on the scoring end. However, Luguentz Dort, Kenrich Williams, and Tre Mann may get more involved offensively than usual.

In 39 minutes on the floor, Gilgeous-Alexander added three rebounds, seven assists, two steals and one block. There aren't many words left anymore to describe how well the young Thunder star has performed this season, and by the looks of it, Gilgeous-Alexander might be gearing up for his best run yet, with two of his five 40-games this season coming in his past four appearances.

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander went for at least 30 points in a fourth consecutive contest Friday against Cleveland, leading his crew to a 112-100 win with a game-high 35 points. He got there with 12-for-21 shooting from the field and a 10-for-11 effort at the foul line. In typical fashion, SGA filled it up in other areas as well, notching five rebounds, eight assists, two steals and one block without a single turnover in 35 minutes. It's been a fantastic campaign for Gilgeous-Alexander, but he has managed to elevate his game even further in January, shooting over 55 percent from the field and averaging 31.1 points. He will look to cap off the big month with another 30-point effort Monday against the defending champions.

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.

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.

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.

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (back) has been upgraded to questionable for Monday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers.

Isaiah Joe is also in line for more minutes, but is more of a deep league streaming option.

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.
