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%).

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (quad) is listed as out for Wednesday's game against the Boston Celtics. After missing Tuesday's loss to the Philadelphia 76ers due to a right quadriceps contusion, Gilgeous-Alexander won't suit up against the first-place Celtics and will try to return on Friday against the Indiana Pacers. In four games without SGA this season, Aaron Wiggins has averaged 13.3 points, 3.5 rebounds, 1.3 steals, and 1.5 three-pointers in 25.0 minutes, but he's a tough sell as a fantasy streamer against a Boston team yielding the fourth-fewest FanDuel points to opposing shooting guards.

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (quadriceps) has been downgraded from questionable to out for Tuesday's meeting with the Philadelphia 76ers. Gilgeous-Alexander didn't participate in the morning shootaround with his right quadriceps contusion, and he'll try to return during the third outing of a five-game East Coast swing and second leg of OKC's back-to-back on Wednesday against the first-place Boston Celtics. With Jalen Williams (ankle) also sidelined, Josh Giddey will serve as the Thunder's primary playmaker and ball handler and experience a big boost in fantasy appeal. Averaging 22.8 points on 63.9% shooting from the floor, 9.0 boards, 7.4 dimes, and 2.4 threes over his past last games, Giddey will also have a great chance to build on his late-season surge as an exciting DFS play against an unimposing Sixers defense.

Oklahoma City Thunder head coach Mark Daignault says guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (quadriceps) didn't participate in the morning shootaround but got treatment and remains questionable for Tuesday's contest against the Philadelphia 76ers. Although it isn't an encouraging sign, it sounds like Gilgeous-Alexander's game status with a right quadriceps contusion could come down to the wire. Tuesday is the first leg of OKC's back-to-back, with the first-place Boston Celtics looming on Wednesday, so the Thunder could opt to sit fantasy's No. 1 overall nine-category league player on one half or the other. Josh Giddey would handle the majority of the ball-handling duties as an ascending fantasy asset if SGA can't play, and he's got the makings of a late-season league winner with averages of 22.8 points on 63.9% shooting from the field, 9.0 rebounds, 7.4 assists, and 2.4 triples through his past five games.

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (quad) has been tagged as questionable ahead of the Tuesday night matchup with the Philadelphia 76ers. The MVP candidate returned from a two-game absence on Sunday and hit the game-winning shot against the New York Knicks. After that win, the Thunder clinched a playoff spot and now will be competing for playoff positioning as they're tied for the number-one spot with the Denver Nuggets. He likely won't push it to play in this game if he's not fully healthy, so if he watches from the sidelines, Cason Wallace, Luguentz Dort, and Josh Giddey will all see added minutes.

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (quadriceps) will return from a two-game absence on Sunday against the Knicks. The return of OKC's MVP candidate will push Cason Wallace back to the bench. Wallace had a pair of inconsistent performances as Gilgeous-Alexander's replacement in the first unit. Josh Giddey's usage went through the roof in the last couple of games, and he'll have to adjust to being more without the ball again. However, Giddey also had some momentum playing next to Gilgeous-Alexander, so he could still play a crucial role in Sunday's big game.

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (quadriceps) will miss a second consecutive contest on Friday versus Phoenix. He's been downgraded from doubtful to out, and the team considers Gilgeous-Alexander day-to-day. Cason Wallace picked up his 10th start of the season when Gilgeous-Alexander dropped out of the lineup on Wednesday versus Houston. The rookie had a quiet outing in the role, with Isaiah Joe and Aaron Wiggins playing much better off the bench. Gilgeous-Alexander's absence also boosts the fantasy value of Josh Giddey, who had one of the best performances of the season against the Rockets with 31 points, seven rebounds, and four assists.

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (quadriceps) is doubtful ahead of Friday's showdown with the Suns. He injured his right quad during a recent game against the Utah Jazz but played through it. However, he finally missed a game, sitting out Wednesday's overtime loss to the Houston Rockets. Cason Wallace got the start in his place. Yet, Aaron Wiggins and Isaiah Joe, combining for 33 points against Houston, will remain popular DFS options if Gilgeous-Alexander is ruled out. OKC is currently the No. 3 seed in the Western Conference playoff picture, so SGH might also sit out a portion of the Thunder's upcoming five-game road trip, which starts on Sunday in New York.

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (quadriceps) will sit out Wednesday's clash against Houston. OKC completes a back-to-back versus the Rockets, and the MVP candidate will sit out the action with a quadriceps injury he has been carrying since last week. Rookie Cason Wallace and sniper Isaiah Joe are looking at an opportunity to play more in Gilgeous-Alexander's absence. It's not a good spot for the two to perform, as Houston boasts a 112.1 defensive rating, which puts the team eighth in the league.

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander led the Western Conference starters in scoring in Sunday's All-Star game, shooting 7-for-10 from downtown en route to 31 points. He missed just four of his 16 efforts from the field all night and also did a bit of playmaking with six assists. This was the second consecutive All-Star appearance for Gilgeous-Alexander, who has developed into one of the league's best two-way players. The young Thunder star averages the third-most points in the league (31.3) and is first in steals (2.2). Gilgeous-Alexander is hitting nearly 55 percent of his shots, and he has also boosted his numbers in rebounding and assists in 2023-24 to become one of the elite assets in fantasy basketball and an MVP candidate in real life.

Oklahoma City Thunder guards Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (illness) and Luguentz Dort (ankle) are available to play in Wednesday's tilt versus the Denver Nuggets. The two starters were getting up some shots at the end of the team's shootaround on Wednesday morning, indicating that they were on the right track to suit up. Gilgeous-Alexander is dealing with a non-COVID illness, but it shouldn't affect his workload against the defending champions. The 25-year-old MVP candidate ranks as fantasy's No. 1 overall player in nine-category leagues, racking up 31.3 points on 54.7% field-goal shooting, 6.4 assists, 5.6 rebounds, 2.2 steals, and 1.2 triples per game for the Thunder in 2023-24. Dort is nursing soreness in his left ankle but should handle his usual allotment of minutes on the wing as a three-and-D presence in OKC's starting five.

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (illness) is in danger of missing his second game of the campaign on Wednesday against Denver. The Thunder star is considered questionable with an illness. Josh Giddey is set to run the offense without Gilgeous-Alexander, while a number of bench players could contribute. The Thunder have multiple starters with questionable tags, and Jalen Williams (ankle) has been ruled out, along with Isaiah Joe (sternum).

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has struggled from the floor the last two games, but turned it around on Thursday. The young guard knocked down 8-of-15 shots from the floor while making 15-of-17 free throws during Thursday's win over the Utah Jazz. Gilgeous-Alexander finished the night with 31 points, six rebounds, and six assists in 34 minutes of action. He has now scored 31 points or more in seven of his last 10 games. Gilgeous-Alexander continues to play at an elite level and is putting his name in the MVP conversation.

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (knee) is questionable to play against the Lakers on Monday. The Thunder star has sprained his right knee and could be absent for the first time this season. Josh Giddey should receive a big boost without Gilgeous-Alexander on the court, while Cason Wallace and Isaiah Joe would be candidates to step into the starting unit. Joe is the better player but has been far from a reliable fantasy option.

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander now has 22 30-point games to his name this season and has collected 27 games of 30 or more. He's firmly in the race for the MVP award and every game bolsters his resume. In the 139-77 drubbing of the Portland Trail Blazers, Gilgeous-Alexander posted 31 points, five rebounds, four assists, one block, and two turnovers while shooting a red-hot 11-for-15 from the floor and 8-for-8 from the free throw line. While he hasn't been hitting as many threes as the normal guard in today's NBA, he's been producing elite-level stats everywhere else and boasts one of the best field goal percentages in the league, which is unheard of for a high-volume point guard.

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander took over and helped beat one of the hottest teams in the league on Thursday night. During the 134-115 win over the Los Angeles Clippers, Gilgeous-Alexander posted 31 points, eight rebounds, four assists, four steals, two blocks, and one turnover. At this point, he's now the number-one ranked player in nine-category formats. He's averaging 30.7 points, 6.3 assists, 5.8 rebounds, 2.8 steals, 1.0 threes, and 2.0 turnovers per game while shooting a red-hot 53.4% from the floor and 91.3% from the free-throw line. That means he's near the top of the league in three separate categories and there doesn't seem to be any signs of slowing down.

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander went blow-for-blow with opposing point guard De'Aaron Fox but the team came up short by five points on Thursday night. Gilgeous-Alexander has quietly been putting together an MVP resume so far this season and Thursday night's game was no different. He ended the game with 43 points on 13-for-27 shooting with nine assists, six rebounds, two steals, and three turnovers while shooting 16-for-18 from the charity stripe. He's been the leader and the steadying force of this upstart Thunder team and they're going to go as far as he can take them after being the leader of a Canadian National Team that medaled for the first time at the FIBA World Cup.

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander ran the show against Chicago Wednesday night, registering a game-high 40 points with 12 assists in a 116-102 win. He finished 11-for-19 from the floor and missed only one of his 18 attempts at the free-throw line. Across 37 minutes of action, the Thunder leader also collected five rebounds, one steal, and two blocks. Gilgeous-Alexander now boasts three 40-point performances for the season, and he's taken up the fourth spot on the league's scoring charts, posting 30.4 points per game with a very efficient 53.8 percent field-goal percentage. Additionally, the Kentucky product deserves praise for his defensive work, as Gilgeous-Alexander leads the league with 2.4 steals.
