Shai Gilgeous-Alexander finished Monday's 121-119 loss to the Denver Nuggets with 33 points, 10 rebounds, eight assists, two steals, and one block. The Canadian superstar stuffed the stat sheet, coming close to a 30-point triple-double, but fellow MVP candidate
Nikola Jokic still outshone him on the night, as he led his team to victory with a 42-point, 22-rebound effort. Gilgeous-Alexander shot 12-for-26 from the field, including 2-for-6 from three-point range, and was 7-for-9 at the free-throw line. Monday night ended in a massive disappointment for Gilgeous-Alexander and the Thunder, but this should get the team even more fired up for Wednesday's Game 2.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander went only 10-for-29 from the field in Tuesday's Game 2 against the Memphis Grizzlies but still finished as the top scorer with 27 points in a 118-99 win. The MVP candidate completed his line with eight rebounds, five assists, and two steals while going 3-for-10 from beyond the arc. Gilgeous-Alexander's shooting performance was even worse in Game 1, but the Thunder have still secured two dominant wins in the series, which reflects poorly on the Grizzlies. This could turn out to be a very short series, especially with Gilgeous-Alexander likely desperate to improve his efficiency going forward. So far, he has shot only 33.3 percent from the field and 23.5 percent from downtown, averaging 21.0 points with 5.5 rebounds and 5.0 assists.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (shin) won't play on Sunday against the Pelicans. The Thunder stamped their ticket as the No. 1 seed in the Western Conference long ago. As expected, the club will give SGA another game off before OKC begins the hunt for an NBA Championship. The other members of the starting lineup will also sit this one out, so DFS managers could see more double-digit scoring efforts from
Isaiah Joe,
Aaron Wiggins,
Kenrich Williams, and
Jaylin Williams.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (shin) has been ruled out ahead of Friday's game against the Utah Jazz. This marks the second game in a row that Gilgeous-Alexander has missed due to a shin contusion. The Thunder have already locked up the top seed in the West, so they don't have any incentive to play their top players at this point in the season. That being said,
Aaron Wiggins,
Isaiah Joe, and
Ajay Mitchell figure to see plenty of run during Friday's game. None of them are offering much streaming appeal, but Wiggins is probably the best out of the three.
