Oklahoma City Thunder point guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander owns the unique fantasy position of having offensive carte blanche for the remainder of the 2021-22 season. With Luguentz Dort (shoulder) and Josh Giddey (hip) currently sidelined, Gilgeous-Alexander was once again the focal point during Friday's blowout loss to the Timberwolves, but he still managed to compile 33 points on 14-for-21 shooting across just 30 minutes. In addition to the scoring, Gilgeous-Alexander pitched in seven assists and five boards. Since returning from an ankle injury five games ago, Gilgeous-Alexander has averaged 33.4 PPG, all while shooting 58.5 percent overall on better than 21 field-goal attempts on a nightly basis. His fantasy stock is likely to continue rising over the final month of the year.

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (ankle) will make his return to the court on Thursday against the Phoenix Suns. He has not played since late January and should have minute restrictions. That being said, he won't be the best bet for DFS contests on Thursday. The Thunder are likely to ease Gilgeous-Alexander back into action. The organization isn't competitive and has little incentive to push their star guard back too soon. Fantasy managers should make sure that Gilgeous-Alexander is back in their lineups for Thursday's game.

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (ankle) is going to be out until at least after the All-Star break. The star guard suffered a right ankle sprain during Friday's game against the Indiana Pacers. This team is going nowhere fast, so they've decided to let Gilgeous-Alexander rest through the All-Star break. Fantasy managers should be prepared for a situation where Gilgeous-Alexander is out longer than just the break. Josh Giddey, Luguentz Dort and Tre Mann will be the main players to benefit in the absence of Gilgeous-Alexander. Giddey and Dort should be rostered in almost all formats right now.

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (ankle) is available for Friday's game against the New York Knicks. He'll be back in the starting five after sitting out one game due to right ankle soreness. He has been solid lately, so fantasy managers should make sure he's back in their lineups for Friday's slate. Ty Jerome will head back to the bench and lose most of his streaming appeal with Gilgeous-Alexander returning.

Oklahoma City Thunder point guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (ankle) will miss Wednesday's contest against the Suns due to a sore right ankle. Ankle issues have popped up occasionally for Gilgeous-Alexander, who will be missing his fourth contest of the year. The Thunder are set to be massively shorthanded Wednesday, with Josh Giddey, Darius Bazley, Jeremiah Robinson-Earl, and other key contributors all in the league's health and safety protocols. Theo Maledon and Luguentz Dort stand to be OKC's primary offensive options, although Aaron Wiggins and Kenrich Williams could also see sizable minutes increases, making them lower-end DFS options at the 11th hour. Gilgeous-Alexander's next chance to suit up comes Friday vs. New York.

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander led all scorers with 33 points on Tuesday against Sacramento, but he shot just 9-for-24 from the field and couldn't help his team to victory. He finished 1-for-5 from outside and notched a large chunk of his points with a 14-for-17 effort at the foul line. Gilgeous-Alexander's night included five rebounds, five assists and one turnover in 35 minutes. The Thunder star struggled with his shot here, but he's actually performed very well as of late, averaging 30 points per game across his last four outings. The Thunder have an ugly matchup versus Phoenix on Wednesday, but Gilgeous-Alexander's recent scoring spurt includes an efficient 29-point effort against the Suns.

Oklahoma City Thunder point guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander poured in a game-high 31 points during a 117-112 victory over the New Orleans Pelicans on Sunday. The 23-year-old shot 11-for-20 from the field, including 1-for-5 from behind the arc, and 8-for-13 from the line. The Kentucky product also added four boards, five assists, three blocks, a steal, and a turnover across 35 minutes. While most of the lead guard's numbers are on par from last season, he's shooting a poor 42.2% from the field, including a ghastly 28.6% from deep. Should SGA see some positive regression in those departments and shoot closer to his 47% from the field career average, fantasy managers will get the stud they were banking on to fill the stat sheet.

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander had a special performance in Wednesday's victory over Denver, becoming the first Thunder player since Russell Westbrook in 2018-19 to produce a triple-double in a home game. He led all scorers with 27 points and notched 11 rebounds and 12 assists. SGA couldn't hit a single three-pointer with seven attempts, but he was a perfect 7-for-7 at the line and finished with 10-for-24 overall shooting from the field. His night at the office included one steal, one block and one turnover in 37 minutes. The three-point bombs don't want to drop for Gilgeous-Alexander this month, but he's having a fine run by averaging 25 points a night for December. He carries a very high usage rate and that allows him to post good numbers even with inefficient shooting.

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander led the team with 33 points in Wednesday's 113-110 loss to New Orleans, shooting 10-for-25 from the field and 9-for-9 at the line. He hit a nice 4-for-8 from three-point range and made a tough trey to tie the game with just over a second left, but the Thunder still ended up with a loss via a crazy 61-foot effort from Devonte' Graham. Gilgeous-Alexander now boasts three 30-point games for the month, and he's nicely set up for a few more of these, with Luguentz Dort (ankle) unavailable. Josh Giddey, who notched a 17-9-7 line on Wednesday, also enjoys much higher usage with Dort out of the picture.

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (concussion) is available for Monday's game against the the Detroit Pistons. He was previously listed as out, but something must've changed during shootaround. It sounds like fantasy managers can feel safe putting Gilgeous-Alexander back into their lineups. His return should mean Tre Mann heads back to the bench and gets less minutes and touches.

Oklahoma City Thunder point guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (concussion) has entered the league's concussion protocol, a move that rules him out for Thursday's contest against the Grizzlies. Gilgeous-Alexander dropped a season-high 39 points during Wednesday's loss to Houston, but finished the outing by sustaining a concussion that will now sideline him for an indeterminate amount of time. When healthy, Josh Giddey (illness) could be viewed as an upside DFS play without Gilgeous-Alexander, but the rookie is also out of the mix Thursday, throwing the OKC backcourt into flux. Luguentz Dort, Ty Jerome, and Tre Mann can all be viewed as upside plays for as long as Gilgeous-Alexander is sidelined.

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander had more points than playing time on Wednesday against the Rockets, scoring a season-high 39 points in 38 minutes of action. He hit 12-for-26 from the field and 14-for-16 at the line, while recording four rebounds and two assists with one block and one turnover. Gilgeous-Alexander hurt his shooting numbers badly with a 1-for-8 effort from three-point land. The 23-year-old now has a chance to shine against the Grizzlies and their leaky defense before taking on a struggling Pistons team that also doesn't know much about the defensive side of things, so Shai Gilgeous-Alexander could be gearing up for a nice scoring surge.

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander notched a team-high 22 points on 9-for-20 shooting in Monday's road loss against the Rockets, finishing 2-for-5 from downtown. He handed out four assists with two turnovers and also recorded three rebounds, two steals and two blocks in 33 minutes. This marks Gilgeous-Alexander's first 20-point effort since Nov. 14. He's had a poor shooting month, going below 39 percent from the field, and that's kept his scoring numbers down. He's slowly started to improve in recent games, so SGA should have a much more productive December.

Oklahoma City Thunder point guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (ankle) has been officially ruled out for Wednesday's game against Utah due to a sprained right ankle, which is also likely to keep him out at least two additional games as well. Head coach Mark Daigneault made it clear that the Thunder would prioritize Gilgeous-Alexander's long-term health and not be rushed back from the ailment. Aaron Wiggins will make his first NBA start Wednesday, but Josh Giddey and Luguentz Dort stand to see elevated assists upside so long as Gilgeous-Alexander is sidelined. The likeliest next time fantasy managers can anticipate seeing Gilgeous-Alexander in action comes next Wednesday vs. the Rockets.

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Utah Jazz. The star guard will sit out his second straight game due to a right ankle sprain. His absence will mean an increased workload for rookie Josh Giddey. During Monday's loss, Giddey finished with 15 points, seven rebounds, and eight assists. He should already be rostered in most fantasy formats, but is certainly worth snagging while Gilgeous-Alexander is out.

Oklahoma City Thunder point guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (ankle) has been ruled out for Monday's contest against the Hawks due to a sprained right ankle. The absence will be the first of the season for Gilgeous-Alexander, who has struggled mightily from the field over his past four games (27.4% overall). Without their leading scorer active, the Thunder have tabbed Josh Giddey as their point guard, elevating his DFS ceiling considerably. Gilgeous-Alexander will be day to day moving forward, while OKC will have to find a way to replace his 20.4 points, 5.1 boards and 4.4 assists of nightly production.

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (ankle) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. The star guard has been in a slump recently, but that could be due to the ankle issue. Nonetheless, Josh Giddey and Ty Jerome would be asked to step up if Gilgeous-Alexander is forced to miss time. Giddey is the much better fantasy option between the two. The rookie would likely be asked to handle the ball more, assuming Gilgeous-Alexander is unable to suit up. Fantasy managers should check back for another update on Monday.

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander produced a 23-point outing in Sunday's blowout loss to the Nets, shooting 8-for-14 from the field and 4-for-4 at the line with a 3-for-6 effort from downtown. He tallied six rebounds and two assists with one steal and three turnovers in 30 minutes. SGA has enjoyed a fine start to the campaign, and he's a usage beast on the team, which gives him a good chance to rack up stats even if he has a bad night. Gilgeous-Alexander could be in for a monster night against Houston on Wednesday but has to face the Heat first on Monday night. Miami is among the best defensive teams in the league, but they actually trail Brooklyn in defensive efficiency, so Gilgeous-Alexander could still end up with plenty of points.

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander poured in a team-high 28 points in Thursday's win over the Lakers. Gilgeous-Alexander shot the ball very well, as he knocked down 9 of 17 attempts from the field and 4 of 7 from deep while making all six free throws. The Kentucky product added six assists, three boards, a steal, and a block. Gilgeous-Alexander has now scored 27-plus points in five of his last six games- while chipping in solid production in the rebound, assist, three, and free-throw shooting categories. He'll get a couple of days off before a favorable Sunday matchup against the Spurs.

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander played a strong all-around game in Monday's loss to the Clippers. Gilgeous-Alexander was the lone bright spot in a rough offensive night for the Thunder, as he scored a team-high 28 points with three triples on 47.8 percent shooting from the field, compared to his team's overall 38.9 percent mark. The 23-year-old chipped in seven boards, two assists, two steals and a blocked shot while committing just a pair of turnovers. Gilgeous-Alexander is putting up a career-best 18.1 shot attempts per game and has a chance at averaging a career-high in points per game with some slightly better efficiency.
