Shai Gilgeous-Alexander NEWS
  • Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Will Return To Action Wednesday

    Oklahoma City Thunder point guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (illness) has been removed from the team's injury report ahead of Wednesday's contest vs. Orlando, paving the way for him to suit up after a one-game absence. Even without Gilgeous-Alexander in the mix, OKC dropped a season-high 150 points Tuesday. A return from the league's fourth-leading scorer (30.8 PPG) will decrease the DFS value of many members of the Thunder backcourt, namely Josh Giddey, who will defer ballhandling opportunities to Gilgeous-Alexander. The 24-year-old is coming off a third consecutive month of elite fantasy production, as he has compiled at least a 33.1% usage rate across each of the season's first trio of months.

  • Shai Gilgeous-Alexander A Late Scratch Due To Illness

    Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (illness) will not play Tuesday against the Boston Celtics. Gilgeous-Alexander went through the team's normal shootaround, but started feeling under the weather later in the day before being ruled out. The last time Gilgeous-Alexander sat, Isaiah Joe started and went for 23 points in 26 minutes. Joe, Kenrich Williams and Tre Mann should fill the void in some sort of committee.

  • Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Is Available For Monday

    Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (back) is available for Monday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. Originally, Gilgeous-Alexander was ruled out for this game, but it appears he's feeling good enough to get back on the court. This is great news for the Thunder with Joey Giddey (illness) still sidelined. Fantasy managers should make sure to get SGA back in their lineups for Monday. Isaiah Joe will head back to the bench, but should still have some streaming appeal in deep leagues while Giddey is out.

  • Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Upgraded To Questionable For Monday

    Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (back) has been upgraded to questionable for Monday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. The star guard was originally ruled out for Monday, but it appears he's feeling better. There's a chance he returns to the court on Monday, which would be huge with Josh Giddey (illness) still sidelined. Gilgeous-Alexander would see a higher usage with Giddey on the sideline. Isaiah Joe is also in line for more minutes, but is more of a deep league streaming option.

  • Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Josh Giddey Out On Saturday

    Oklahoma City Thunder guards Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (back) and Josh Giddey (illness) have been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. This is not good news as the Thunder will be without their starting backcourt on Saturday. Luckily, Luguentz Dort (hand) will play and is expected to carry this offense. Tre Mann, Isaiah Joe, and Aaron Wiggins will all see more playing time as well with Gilgeous-Alexander and Giddey sidelined. Between the three players, Mann has the highest upside and is the most reliable streaming choice.

  • Shai Gilgeous-Alexander To Play Saturday

    Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (hip) will suit up for Saturday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. The star guard sat out of their last game due to a hip contusion. His absence opened up more playing time and chances for guys like Josh Giddey, Jalen Williams and Tre Mann. All of them should go back to their normal roles with Gilgeous-Alexander back on Saturday. Fantasy managers can go ahead and get SGA back in their lineups for Saturday.

  • Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Questionable To Suit Up Saturday

    Oklahoma City Thunder point guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (hip) has been tagged as questionable to play in Saturday's contest vs. Minnesota. Gilgeous-Alexander missed his second game of the year Wednesday, paving the way for Josh Giddey and Tre Mann to take on significantly elevated roles. Gilgeous-Alexander has played at an All-Star level through the first six weeks, ranking fifth in the league in scoring at 31 PPG. He has gone for at least 30 points in eight of his last nine games and dropped 32 on the Timberwolves back on Opening Night. His status will drastically alter the DFS appeal of all Thunder players, so fantasy managers will want to check back prior to tip-off.

  • Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Won't Suit Up On Wednesday

    Oklahoma City guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (hip) will miss just his second game of the season on Wednesday as he'll be sidelined against the San Antonio Spurs. The up-and-coming star is dealing with a left hip contusion at the moment. So far this season, he's been sensational with averages of 31.1 points, 4.9 rebounds, 6.1 assists, 1.7 steals, and 1.2 blocks per game. Tre Mann and Josh Giddey will see a lot of added usage. Mann will be the better streaming option since he's available in more leagues.

  • Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Upgraded To Active Against Clippers

    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.

  • Shai 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.

  • Shai 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.

  • Shai 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.

  • Shai 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.
