Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Has Been Ruled Out On Tuesday
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.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Scores Game-High 31 Points in Game 1 Win
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander propelled his team to a 114-88 victory in the Western Conference Finals opener against the Minnesota Timberwolves, scoring a game-high 31 points on 10-for-27 shooting Tuesday night. He also had the most assists in the game with nine and picked up five rebounds with three steals, shooting 11-for-24 at the charity stripe. This was a rough shooting night for Gilgeous-Alexander, who finished 0-for-4 from three-point range, but he still got the job done on the offensive end, registering his fourth consecutive 30-point game. With improved efficiency, Gilgeous-Alexander is capable of much more in the series. He shot nearly 53 percent from the field against the Denver Nuggets in the previous round, so Tuesday was likely just a blip.
