Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander had a huge performance against Dallas on Saturday, piling up 38 points and six rebounds with nine assists, two steals and one block in a 117-110 overtime win. He couldn't hit a single three-pointer for the first time this season but put in very solid work overall from the field with a 15-for-27 effort. His line also included three turnovers in 41 minutes. SGA is off to an amazing start to the season, averaging a 31-5-7 line with 1.2 blocks and 2.4 steals. Hopefully, he won't be getting too many off nights over the course of the season, as it could become a really special campaign for the 24-year-old.

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (hip) was on fire Tuesday night, leading the Thunder to a win over the Clippers with 33 points. Gilgeous-Alexander shot 11-for-22 from the field and also contributed eight assists, five rebounds, three steals, three blocks and two threes for a full line in 37 minutes. After being ruled out a day in advance, Gilgeous-Alexander was eventually cleared to play and showed the hip injury was nothing serious. The Thunder will have days where they sit Gilgeous-Alexander as the quest for Victor Wembanyama continues, but he has immense upside when he does play.

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (hip) will play Tuesday against the Los Angeles Clippers. Gilgeous-Alexander was ruled out on Monday's injury report, then upgraded to questionable before being confirmed as playing. It has also been reported that Gilgeous-Alexander will not have any minutes restrictions. With teammate Josh Giddey (ankle) out, Gilgeous-Alexander should see a massive workload against a Clippers squad who is missing Paul George (illness), Kawhi Leonard (knee) and Marcus Morris (personal). Expect Gilgeous-Alexander to be a focal point in Tuesday's DFS slate.

Mon Oct 24 202221:52Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Will Miss Second Straight Game Tuesday
Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (hip) will sit out Tuesday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. Gilgeous-Alexander will miss his second straight game with a hip injury as the Thunder are likely exercising caution with him. Tre Mann saw the spot start on Saturday without Gilgeous-Alexander, but it was Luguentz Dort who had a team-high 20 points on 15 shots. Dort will likely be asked to handle the scoring on Tuesday as Josh Giddey (ankle) has also been ruled out. A mixture of Dort, Mann, Aaron Wiggins and possibly Aleksej Pokusevski will likely run the offense.

Sun Oct 23 202215:07Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Listed As Questionable Sunday
Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (hip) is questionable to play against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Sunday night. Gilgeous-Alexander has been on a tear to start the season, but seems to have suffered a left hip contusion in Saturday night's loss to the Denver Nuggets. Given his injury history, the Thunder may decide to rest the young star. If that is the case, Josh Giddey will likely absorb most of the ball-handling duties while Tre Mann and Aaron Wiggins would be in line for more minutes.

Tue Oct 18 202215:22Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Will Play In Opening Game
Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (knee) will play in the team's season opener. Originally, he looked like a long shot to get his knee ready for the first game of the year. While head coach Mark Daigneault did not name any starters or give any specifics, we should see Gilgeous-Alexander out on the floor in some capacity. Fantasy managers should keep an eye on any news coming from the team about potential starters as game time gets closer. If he can play, the young guard is a big-time fantasy contributor.

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (knee) will not suit up for Tuesday's preseason matchup against the Detroit Pistons. Although, he is traveling with the team, which is good news.

Fri Sep 23 202222:20Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Could Miss Season Opener
Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (knee) might not be ready for the season opener, according to team president Sam Presti. The team announced that Gilgeous-Alexander will be re-evaluated in two weeks, but the organization wants to be cautious with their young guard. It's worth noting that SGA has played in a total of 91 games over the last two seasons. The Thunder have been extremely cautious with him, so fantasy managers should expect that to continue. There should be more information in the coming weeks, but it sounds like fantasy managers could be without Gilgeous-Alexander for the beginning of the season.

Wed Sep 21 202221:01Shai Gilgeous-Alexander To Miss At Least Two Weeks
Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (knee) won't be available for the beginning of training camp. The 24-year-old is dealing with an MCL sprain in his left knee and will miss at least two weeks before being re-evaluated. Gilgeous-Alexander is coming off a solid year, averaging 24.5 points, 5.9 assists, 5.0 rebounds, and 1.3 steals. However, after shooting a career-high 41.8% from deep in 2020-21, he took a huge step backward last season by sinking only 30.0% of his tries from downtown. He also missed the final 10 games with a right ankle injury. Nonetheless, Gilgeous-Alexander could be ready to roll for the start of the season, so his latest ailment shouldn't impact his draft stock.

Wed Apr 13 202210:24Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Maintains Happiness With Organization
Oklahoma City Thunder point guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander just wrapped up his third year with the franchise, the last two of which have seen the team combine for 46 regular-season wins. Despite that, Gilgeous-Alexander, the face of the team, remains committed, saying of his relationship with head coach Mark Daigneault and general manager Sam Presti, "Every time we talk, I get a little bit more excited I'm excited for the future," per Joe Mussatto of The Oklahoman. The 23-year-old is coming off having set a career high in scoring (24.5 PPG) this year despite being setback by injuries once again. But he did attempt 18.8 shots on a nightly basis, an indication that his role as the primary scoring option with OKC is not going to change heading into 2022-23, further elevating his appeal as the Thunder work toward playoff contention again.

Oklahoma City Thunder point/shooting guards Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (ankle) and Tre Mann (hamstring) have been deemed unavailable to play in Wednesday's contest vs. Utah. Gilgeous-Alexander's season comes to a close due to right ankle soreness, while Mann has been down with a strained right hamstring since March 26. The Thunder backcourt has been ransacked by injuries throughout the year, leaving Theo Maledon, Zavier Simpson, and Vit Krejci to see the vast majority of minutes over the final three games of the year. Barring an update saying otherwise, fantasy managers can anticipate Mann missing the rest of his impressive rookie campaign.

Oklahoma City Thunder point guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (ankle) has been ruled out for Monday's contest vs. Portland due to a sore right ankle. Gilgeous-Alexander's absence will mark his third in a row due to the ailment, paving the way for Tre Mann and Theo Maledon to continue seeing elevated offensive roles. With OKC battling injuries up and down the depth chart, any member of the starting five figures to see sizable DFS appeal, with Aleksej Pokusevski and Isaiah Roby standing out. Since the All-Star break, Gilgeous-Alexander has averaged a whopping 30.4 PPG across 13 contests, all while shooting 54.2% overall. His next chance to take the floor comes Wednesday against the Hawks.

Wed Mar 23 202219:05Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Not Suiting Up Wednesday
The Oklahoma City Thunder have ruled out point guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (ankle) for Wednesday's game against the Orlando Magic. According to the injury report, he is dealing with right ankle soreness. However, the 20-52 Thunder are likely just trying to weaken their arsenal against the 20-53 Magic to help their tanking process. With SGA sidelined, we should see a lot of offense fall on the shoulders of rookie Tre Mann, who scored a career-high 35 points on Monday. He's a must-start player for the game. Aleksej Pokusevski should see a usage boost as well. He's startable if you can risk a potentially devastating field goal percentage.

Tue Mar 22 202222:02Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Returns To Injury Report For Wednesday
Oklahoma City Thunder point guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (ankle) has picked up a questionable designation for Wednesday's game vs. Orlando due to a sore right ankle. Gilgeous-Alexander missed Sunday's outing due to the ailment, but he returned to score 31 points in 37 minutes Monday. The Thunder have been known to be conservative with their franchise cornerstone, but it would seemingly take a significant downturn for Gilgeous-Alexander to be held out Wednesday. Even with him in the mix, Tre Mann, Aleksej Pokusevski, and Darius Bazley all stand out as high ceiling DFS options.

Mon Mar 21 202219:44Shai Gilgeous-Alexander To Return On Monday
Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (ankle) will be available for Monday's game against the Boston Celtics. He's back after a one-game absence due to a right ankle sprain. He'll slide right back into his spot in the starting five, which will push Tre Mann to the second unit. However, Mann will still have some low-end streaming value off the bench. Theo Maledon won't play as much off the bench and isn't an attractive fantasy option. Fantasy managers should make sure Gilgeous-Alexander is back in their lineups for Monday's game.

Mon Mar 21 202215:38Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Earns Questionable Tag For Monday
Oklahoma City Thunder point guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (ankle) has been deemed questionable to take the floor for Monday's game vs. Boston as he continues to battle a sore right ankle. Gilgeous-Alexander was on a recent scoring tear before missing Sunday's contest, averaging 30.8 PPG on 55.7% shooting over his last four outings. Tre Mann shifted over to the starting point guard spot in his absence and fired up 19 shots (including 11 threes), a role that he would likely reprise if Gilgeous-Alexander remains unavailable. Even if the Thunder's leading scorer is cleared, he faces a tall task in delivering significant DFS value against a Celtics squad that leads the league in defensive efficiency this season.

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (ankle) won't play on Sunday evening versus the Orlando Magic. No surprise here, primarily since the 23-year-old has been dealing with right ankle soreness for a while now. With OKC having nothing left to play for, this may not be his last absence this year. Nevertheless, Tre Mann, who has averaged 13 points across 22 starts during the 2021-22 campaign, will likely take his place and see a noticeable increase in fantasy production.

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (ankle) is questionable ahead of the matchup with Orlando. SGH continues to be plagued by right ankle soreness, and with OKC having nothing to play for, there's a chance he could miss time here or there moving forward, including Sunday's meeting with the Magic. Nevertheless, if he is officially ruled out, Tre Mann will likely take his place in the lineup, with the rookie averaging 13 points across 22 starts on the year.

Thu Mar 17 202221:42Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Could Miss Friday's Game
Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (ankle) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Miami Heat. He has been outstanding for the shorthanded Thunder this season. However, Gilgeous-Alexander continues to deal with ankle soreness and could be rested on Friday. The Thunder don't have much incentive to push their star guard back onto the court injured. Tre Mann and Darius Bazley would likely be asked to pick up the slack on offense if Gilgeous-Alexander sits out. Both could be possible streaming options or DFS options on Friday.

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (ankle) has been given the green light to play in Wednesday night's game against the San Antonio Spurs.

Over seven games in March, he is averaging 28.4 points, 7.7 assists, 6.3 rebounds and 1.9 steals per game. Dating back to late February, he's scored over 30 points in eight of his last 10 outings.
