Shai Gilgeous-Alexander: Wills team to victoryGilgeous-Alexander supplied 38 points (13-21 FG, 5-6 3Pt, 7-10 FT), three rebounds, four assists and one steal in 36 minutes during Tuesday's 124-112 win over Golden State.
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander tallied 38 points (13-of-21 FGs, 7-of-10 FTs), three rebounds, four assists, one steal and five three-pointers in Tuesday's win over the Warriors.While the Warriors used increased defensive intensity and various looks to get back into Tuesday's game, their inability to slow down the reigning MVP was the difference. After Pat Spencer hit a shot with 4:54 remaining to give the Warriors a one-point lead, Gilgeous-Alexander and the Thunder went on an 8-0 run to take the lead for good, with the MVP responsible for five of those points. Regarding season-long fantasy value, only Nikola Jokic and Victor Wembanyama have been better than SGA, and the latter is currently out with a calf injury.
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Cason Wallace, Ajay Mitchell, Jalen Williams and Chet Holmgren will start Tuesday's game against the Warriors.An adductor injury has sidelined Luguentz Dort, opening up a spot in the starting lineup. Mitchell, who has provided solid fantasy value whether he starts or comes off the bench, will fill the void. He should already be rostered in 14-team leagues, and some 12-team leagues as well. The other four starters are unchanged.
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, the reigning MVP, is getting better at everything in case you haven't noticedThe Thunder star might not be a human highlight reel, but he's quietly on his way to being an all-time great.
