Tue Mar 28 202315:33Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Has Been Ruled Out On Tuesday
Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (ankle) has been listed as out on Tuesday against the Charlotte Hornets. With the team a half-game ahead of the Dallas Mavericks for the last play-in spot in the West, this isn't the best time for their undisputed best player to miss some time. The good part is that the Hornets are hurting with a barebones roster right now. Isaiah Joe should be a solid streaming option with Gilgeous-Alexander on the sidelines.

Mon Mar 27 202323:02Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Questionable Versus Charlotte
Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (ankle) is questionable for Tuesday's game against Charlotte. OKC is scratching and clawing to remain in the postseason conversation. However, if anyone had to pick a game to miss, this would be the one, considering Charlotte is easily one of the worst teams in the NBA. That said, if SGA can't suit up, Josh Giddey will handle things at the point while potentially enjoying a bump in fantasy production. At the same time, Jalen Williams and Luguentz Dort should see more scoring opportunities.

Fri Mar 24 202309:44Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Plays Well In Loss
Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander did everything he could during Thursday's loss to the Los Angeles Clippers. He finished with 30 points, four rebounds, and three assists in 27 minutes on Thursday. The Thunder had Gilgeous-Alexander on the bench to begin the fourth quarter as they continue to be cautious with their star guard. The team has a key matchup against the Los Angeles Lakers on Friday. Possibly, the team was trying to save Gilgeous-Alexander for that game because Thursday was a blowout anyway. Although, the last time Gilgeous-Alexander played in back-to-back set was in February. He might end up sitting out on Friday, which could mean increased minutes for Isaiah Joe and a bigger role for Josh Giddey.

Sun Mar 12 202317:05Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Resting Against San Antonio
Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (abdomen) won't play on Sunday versus San Antonio. SGH scored 35 points in 37 minutes on Saturday against the New Orleans Pelicans. However, he'll get the night off, likely moving Isaiah Joe into the starting lineup. Joe has averaged 15.6 points and shot 43.6% from deep in seven starts this season, so needy category managers should look in his direction.

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.

With that said, Joe will make an ideal DFS option on Sunday, although he'll also be a popular one.

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.
