Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Injury News & Updates
Keep up with the latest injuries from the Suns vs Thunder game on tomorrow with our National Basketball Association injury report.Dec 6, 2025
Won't play Sunday
Gilgeous-Alexander won't play Sunday against the Jazz due to left elbow bursitis.
ANALYSIS
This injury comes out of nowhere for the MVP. There's been no mention of this issue previously, and it's certainly possible the Thunder are simply looking to give him a maintenance day. More clarity can expected after the weekend, but for now, he can be considered questionable for Wednesday against the Suns. With Gilgeous-Alexander out, the Thunder could rely more on Cason Wallace and Ajay Mitchell.

Scores 33 on 12 shots

ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander was excellent against Dallas, needing only 29 minutes and 12 field goal attempts to rack up 33 points. SGA has been impressively consistent with his production.

ANALYSIS
18 of SGA's points came in the first half, when it appeared his team may run away with the game. The Warriors stormed back in the third, forcing Gilgeous-Alexander to pour in another 20 points in the second half.

ANALYSIS

The 2024-25 regular season MVP has been on a tear of late, and this was his fifth consecutive outing with at least 30 points. Incredibly, this is only his second-longest streak of the campaign. He already scored at least 30 points in seven straight outings between Oct. 28 and Nov. 9 in the early stages of the 2025-26 regular season.
Nov 27, 2025

The Thunder have now opened the season 18-1, and they remain undefeated in the NBA Cup.

Game-time decision for Wednesday
Gilgeous-Alexander is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Timberwolves due to an illness.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander was excellent yet again Sunday against the Blazers, dropping 37 points in 30 minutes, but he's come down with an illness at some point since. The Thunder will presumably monitor the star guard closely leading up to Wednesday's matchup to determine his availability.

ANALYSIS
Utah started the game with an early lead, but the Jazz's defense fell apart in the third quarter. Gilgeous-Alexander scored 12 points during a remarkable 33-4 run in that period, and the team never looked back. The 2024-25 MVP has exceeded 30 points in four of his last five games, averaging 30.0 points, 7.0 assists, 4.2 rebounds, and 2.0 steals during this stretch.

ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander put in three quarters of work before taking a seat in the fourth quarter of Friday's blowout. The 2024-25 MVP continues to post stellar totals and currently ranks fourth behind Luka Doncic, Tyrese Maxey and Giannis Antetokounmpo with an average of 33 points per game.
Nov 6, 2025
Continues torrid run of production
Gilgeous-Alexander produced 35 points (10-26 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 12-13 FT), nine rebounds and four assists in 38 minutes during Wednesday's 121-119 loss to the Trail Blazers.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander has been unstoppable in the early stages of the season, averaging 33.3 points, 6.3 assists and 5.4 rebounds over the first nine games. The back-to-back scenario had zero effect on the superstar, and although the team suffered its first loss, the Thunder will continue to rack up wins with last season's MVP at the helm
Nov 5, 2025
Churns up double-double in win
Gilgeous-Alexander posted 30 points (9-14 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 8-9 FT), four rebounds, 12 assists and three blocks in 29 minutes during Tuesday's 126-107 win over the Clippers.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander rallies his team to an 8-0 record after the Clippers began the game with a quick spurt of offense. The Thunder then took control and kept the lead behind their MVP guard, who led the team in scoring by a wide margin. Isaiah Joe's 22-point performance was the only stat line to come remotely close to Gilgeous-Alexander's result.
Nov 2, 2025
Pours in 30 in Sunday's romp
Gilgeous-Alexander produced 30 points (8-14 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 13-13 FT), two rebounds, seven assists and one steal over 30 minutes during Sunday's 137-106 victory over the Pelicans.
ANALYSIS

Conducts business as usual

ANALYSIS
The Thunder are now 6-0, due in large part to last season's MYP and his impressive results. Gilgeous-Alexander entered Thursday's game averaging 34,8 points, 6.2 rebounds, 5.4 assists, 1.4 steals and 1.4 blocked shots over the first five games of the season. His three-point shot is the only facet of his game that is struggling, averaging only 27.7 percent beyond the arc in the early stages of the 2025-26 campaign.
Oct 28, 2025
Drops 31 points in win
Gilgeous-Alexander posted 31 points (14-26 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds, four assists, three blocks and one steal across 36 minutes in Tuesday's 107-101 win over the Kings.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander struggled from beyond the arc once again but led all players in scoring. The reigning MVP also tied the game high in blocks and set a new season best in rebounds. While the superstar point guard has shot just 23.3 percent from three-point range through five regular-season games, he's averaging 34.8 points, 6.2 rebounds, 5.4 assists, 1.4 blocks and 1.0 steals in 38.4 minutes per game.

The 2024-25 MVP is off to a hot start to the season, averaging 40.0 points per game while posting a true-shooting percentage of 64.3. Gilgeous-Alexander and the Thunder will look to improve their record to 4-0 on Monday against the Mavericks.
Oct 23, 2025
Tallies 55 points in victory
Gilgeous-Alexander produced 55 points (15-31 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 23-26 FT), eight rebounds, five assists, two steals and one block across 45 minutes during Thursday's 141-135 double-overtime win over the Pacers.
ANALYSIS
Thursday's matchup was a true grind for Gilgeous-Alexander, who was without the assistance of Jalen Williams (wrist), Cason Wallace (knee), Isaiah Joe (knee) and Alex Caruso (concussion). The 2024-25 regular-season MVP got to the charity stripe at will, where he tacked on 23 of his 55 points while also contributing to Indiana's foul trouble. Gilgeous-Alexander is off to a hot start to the new campaign, scoring 90 total points over 92 minutes in a pair of double-overtime victories.
Oct 21, 2025
Full stat line in win
Gilgeous-Alexander recorded 35 points (12-26 FG, 1-9 3Pt, 10-14 FT), five rebounds, five assists, two steals and two blocks across 47 minutes in Tuesday's 125-124 double-overtime win over the Rockets.
ANALYSIS
While he struggled from three-point range, Gilgeous-Alexander finished as the Thunder's leading scorer after posting just five points in the first half. The reigning MVP stuffed the stat sheet in the win, tying the team high in assists. He also led all players in blocks and was one of three Oklahoma City players to record multiple steals.
Oct 14, 2025
Scores 23 points with full line
Gilgeous-Alexander registered 23 points (8-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 6-8 FT), two rebounds, six assists, one 3-pointer, three steals, one block and two turnovers in 19 minutes during Tuesday's 116-112 preseason win over Milwaukee.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander can impact the stat sheet like few others, making him an easy, top-3 target for draft day. As long as he can stay healthy, he'll be on a lot of winning fantasy teams this season.
Oct 14, 2025
Good to go Tuesday
Gilgeous-Alexander (rest) is available for Tuesday's preseason game against the Bucks, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander will return to game action after sitting out Saturday's loss to the Pacers. He'll start alongside Cason Wallace, Alex Caruso, Luguentz Dort and Isaiah Hartenstein.
Oct 11, 2025
Not playing Saturday
Gilgeous-Alexander is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's preseason game against the Pacers due to rest-related reasons.
ANALYSIS
The 2025 NBA MVP won't play Saturday due to rest, as the Thunder aren't likely to push him too much with the regular season right around the corner. Gilgeous-Alexander's next chance to play will come against the Bucks on Tuesday in the Thunder's penultimate preseason tune-up before Opening Night on Oct. 21 against the Rockets.
Oct 10, 2025
Posts 16 points in preseason win
Gilgeous-Alexander produced 16 points (7-9 FG, 2-2 3Pt), five assists, a rebound, a steal and a blocked shot in 20 minutes during Thursday's 122-116 preseason win over the Hornets.
ANALYSIS
The 2024-25 NBA MVP wasted no time getting involved Thursday, finishing up with an accurate night from the floor. Paycom Center was packed to the gills to witness the team's home premiere, but Gilgeous-Alexander was one of only three first-string stars to appear. Chet Holmgren (shoulder) may take most of the preseason off, and Jalen Williams (wrist) is at least a month away from returning. Gilgeous-Alexander won't have his team at full strength to begin the season, but Alex Caruso will be an apt fill-in while Williams sits.
Oct 9, 2025
Will play Thursday
Gilgeous-Alexander (rest) will play in Thursday's preseason game against the Hornets, Rylan Stiles of SI.com reports.
ANALYSIS
After missing the first two preseason games for his squad, Gilgeous-Alexander will return to the floor. Like most locked-in starters around the league, the reigning NBA MVP will likely play limited minutes during this game and for the rest of the preseason.
Oct 6, 2025
Ruled out for Monday
Gilgeous-Alexander (rest) will remain on the sidelines for Monday's preseason matinee against the Mavericks.
ANALYSIS
Oklahoma City's MVP has yet to make his preseason debut, but that's nothing out of the norm for a superstar early in the preseason. Perhaps he'll get out there for Thursday's game against the Hornets. Isaiah Joe and Cason Wallace figure to see a lot of shots falling their way with SGA unavailable.
Oct 5, 2025
Won't play Sunday
Gilgeous-Alexander (rest) won't play in Sunday's preseason game against the Hornets, Nick Gallo of the Thunder's official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander, Chet Holmgren, Luguentz Dort, Cason Wallace, Alex Caruso and Ajay Mitchell will all take a seat for the first half of a back-to-back preseason set for the Thunder. Their next chance to suit up will come Monday in Dallas.
Jul 1, 2025
Inks contract extension with OKC
The Thunder have agreed to terms on a super maximum four-year, $285 million contract extension with Gilgeous-Alexander, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander is coming off an incredible season in which he won his first NBA MVP award and his first NBA title. The superstar guard is now under contract with Oklahoma City through the 2030-31 season and will make the richest annual salary for a player in league history. During the 2024-25 campaign, the Kentucky product averaged career-high numbers in points (32.7), assists (6.4) and blocks (1.0) while shooting a remarkable 51.9 percent from the floor and 37.5 percent from beyond the arc.
Jun 23, 2025
Dominant in Game 7 win
Gilgeous-Alexander closed Sunday's 103-91 victory over the Pacers in Game 7 of the NBA Finals with 29 points (8-27 FG, 2-12 3Pt, 11-12 FT), five rebounds, 12 assists, two blocks and one steal across 40 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander capped off a historic season in style Sunday. Named as the 2025 NBA Finals MVP, Gilgeous-Alexander was also the MVP of the regular season while helping the Thunder win 68 games. As for fantasy, only Nikola Jokic was more valuable from a per-game perspective in nine-category formats. Through 76 regular-season appearances, he produced 32.7 points, 6.4 assists, 5.0 rebounds, 1.0 blocks, 1.7 steals and 2.1 three-pointers on 51.9 percent shooting from the field and 89.8 percent from the line.
Apr 12, 2025
Not available for season finale
Gilgeous-Alexander (lower leg) is out for Sunday's game against the Pelicans.
ANALYSIS
Just like it happened Friday against the Jazz, the Thunder will rest the majority of their regular rotation members for this regular-season finale after securing not only the top seed in the Western Conference, but also the best record in the league. Gilgeous-Alexander's impressive season comes to an end with an MVP-level stat line, as he averaged 32.7 points, 5.0 rebounds, 6.4 assists and 1.7 steals per game while shooting 51.9 percent from the floor and 37.5 percent from three-point range. He seems to be a lock to be among the finalists for the MVP award given how instrumental he was for the Thunder's record-breaking season.
Apr 10, 2025
Won't go Friday
Gilgeous-Alexander (shin) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Jazz.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander will miss his second straight matchup and is officially listed out with a shin contusion, though it would seem his team is making sure the star guard is getting plenty of rest heading into the postseason. Adam Flagler and Ajay Mitchell should be in line for plenty of opportunities Friday in Gilgeous-Alexander's absence.
Apr 9, 2025
Ruled out for Wednesday
Gilgeous-Alexander (shin) will not play Wednesday against the Suns.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander logged 42 points (14-26 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 9-11 FT), six rebounds, six assists and one block in 37 minutes during Tuesday's 136-120 win over the Lakers, and now he'll be held out for injury maintenance on the second leg of this back-to-back set. That shouldn't come as any surprise, however, as the Thunder locked up the No. 1 seed a while ago. Alex Caruso, Isaiah Joe and Aaron Wiggins could be asked to soak up the backcourt minutes in his absence.
Apr 8, 2025
Leads team to victory
Gilgeous-Alexander recorded 42 points (14-26 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 9-11 FT), six rebounds, six assists and one block in 37 minutes during Tuesday's 136-120 win over the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander scored at least 40 points for the 13th time this season. The MVP front-runner's points per game average of 32.7 leads the entire NBA, and he is showing no signs of slowing down. Since the beginning of 2025, Gilgeous-Alexander has posted 51.2/40.0/90.4 shooting splits across 44 appearances.
Apr 7, 2025
Pops for team-high 26 in loss
Gilgeous-Alexander had a team-high 26 points (12-23 FG, 2-5 3Pt), three rebounds, nine assists, one block and one steal over 30 minutes during Sunday's 126-99 loss to the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
The Thunder already have the No. 1 seed in the Western Conference locked up, so their motivation in this one may have leaned toward simply getting out of it healthy. Gilgeous-Alexander still produced strong numbers however as he extended his streak of appearances with 20-plus points to an incredible 71, the fourth-longest streak in NBA history behind only a pair of 80-game streaks by Wilt Chamberlain and a 76-game surge in 1963-64 by Oscar Robertson. Over 17 outings since the beginning of March, SGA is averaging 33.9 points, 7.3 assists, 4.3 boards, 2.2 threes, 1.4 steals and 1.0 blocks as he puts the finishing touches on his MVP case.
Apr 3, 2025
Scores 33 points in solid win
Gilgeous-Alexander ended with 33 points (10-26 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 11-12 FT), six rebounds, three assists, two blocks and three steals over 35 minutes during Wednesday's 119-103 win over the Pistons.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander had another outstanding performance to lead the Thunder to victory, and this was the fourth time he eclipsed the 30-point mark over his last five appearances. The MVP candidate has reached the 30-point plateau in 48 different games this season, and he's ending the campaign with averages of 33.1 points, 4.4 rebounds, 7.2 assists and 1.4 steals per game over his last 10 contests.
Apr 1, 2025
Posts strong double-double
Gilgeous-Alexander logged 27 points (9-14 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 7-7 FT), 12 assists and two blocks in 27 minutes during Monday's 145-117 win over the Bulls.
ANALYSIS
By now, it shouldn't be surprising to see Gilgeous-Alexander leading the Thunder in blowout wins with efficient performances, although it must be noted that the 12 assists showed he can still run the offense and create for others if needed. The absence of rebounds was telling, as this was just the second time this season he didn't grab a single board, but fantasy managers will gladly overlook past that given the output Gilgeous-Alexander delivers on a game-to-game basis. He enters the final month of the regular season with averages of 32.3 points, 4.1 rebounds, 7.6 assists and 1.2 steals per game over his last 10 contests.
Mar 29, 2025
Continues historic season
Gilgeous-Alexander supplied 33 points (10-23 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 10-12 FT), seven rebounds, eight assists and one steal in 31 minutes during Saturday's 132-111 win over the Pacers.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander is having a spectacular season and continues to make a strong case to win the MVP award once the regular season comes to an end. This was his 47th game of the season with at least 30 points, as well as his 17th straight one with at least 25, and the 67th consecutive one with 20 or more points. The star floor general is doing more than just scoring, though. He's averaging a robust line of 34.2 points, 4.8 rebounds, 6.9 assists, 1.4 steals and 1.1 blocks per game since the All-Star break.
Mar 28, 2025
Outstanding efficiency in win
Gilgeous-Alexander posted 37 points (15-25 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 7-9 FT), three rebounds, six assists and three steals over 34 minutes during Thursday's 125-104 win over the Grizzlies.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander, who leads the league in games with at least 30 points scored by a wide margin, had perhaps one of his most efficient performances of the season with an impressive shooting line. As if those scoring numbers weren't enough, Gilgeous-Alexander also notched an impressive line in other categories, mainly the six assists and three steals, as he often finds a way to impact the game beyond his already-elite scoring prowess. Gilgeous-Alexander is averaging a robust line of 35.5 points, 4.4 rebounds, 7.0 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.0 blocks per game in 12 contests since the beginning of March.
Mar 22, 2025
Another 30-point performance
Gilgeous-Alexander logged 30 points (13-18 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, nine assists and one steal over 30 minutes during Friday's 141-106 win over the Hornets.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander made history with this performance Friday, as he became the fifth player in NBA history to record 63 straight appearances with at least 20 points, joining Michael Jordan, Wilt Chamberlain, Kevin Durant and Oscar Robertson. This adds another layer to the impressive season the star floor general has had, and he seems well on his way to winning the MVP award for the first time in his career. The numbers back him, but what he's done in March is genuinely remarkable. Over nine appearances this month, Gilgeous-Alexander is averaging 36.8 points, 4.3 rebounds, 7.2 assists and a combined 2.2 steals-plus-blocks per game while shooting 55.5 percent from the floor, 42.1 percent from deep and 94.8 percent from the charity stripe.
Mar 20, 2025
Not on injury report

Sitting out against 76ers
Gilgeous-Alexander won't play in Wednesday's game against the 76ers for rest purposes.

ANALYSIS

Mar 6, 2025
Won't play against Portland
Gilgeous-Alexander (rest) has been ruled out for Friday against the Trail Blazers, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
After dropping 41 points in Wednesday's win against the Grizzlies, Gilgeous-Alexander won't play against the Trail Blazers on Friday. The Thunder will likely pivot to Alex Caruso to help shoulder the load in the backcourt with the superstar sitting out.
Mar 6, 2025
Another stellar performance
Gilgeous-Alexander chipped in 41 points (14-25 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 10-10 FT), two rebounds, eight assists and two steals across 35 minutes during Wednesday's 120-103 victory over the Grizzlies.
ANALYSIS
The Thunder cruised to a 17-point victory over the Grizzlies on Wednesday, and has been the case in recent games, Gilgeous-Alexander played a prominent role in another victory for OKC. The star floor general, who has been one of the best fantasy performers all season long, has been on a tear since the end of the All-Star break. He's averaging 34.8 points, 5.0 rebounds, 7.1 assists, 1.5 steals and 1.1 blocks per game over his last five outings.
Mar 3, 2025
Powers Thunder to victory

ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander did a bit of everything in the win but most notably carved up the opposing defense for his fourth 50-point performance of the 2024-25 campaign. The Kentucky product was locked in from beyond the arc, as he was able to tie his season high of five made treys, a mark he most recently hit Dec. 10 against Dallas. Gilgeous-Alexander is only the 12th player in league history to post four or more 50-point games in a season.
Feb 28, 2025
Another efficient outing Friday
Gilgeous-Alexander registered 31 points (12-23 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five assists, three rebounds and two steals over 34 minutes in Friday's 135-119 win over Atlanta.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander once again led the Thunder in scoring Friday, and he has shot at least 50.0 percent from the floor in four straight games. He entered Friday's game averaging 9.0 free-throw attempts per game, but he didn't see his first attempt from the charity stripe until the 5:51 mark in the fourth quarter. Gilgeous-Alexander ends the month of February having averaged 31.7 points on 50.6 percent shooting, 6.8 assists, 4.9 rebounds, 1.2 steals and 0.9 blocks over 33.3 minutes per game.
Feb 27, 2025
Solid showing in win Wednesday

ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander wasn't able to repeat what he accomplished in the back-to-back set against Minnesota, where he posted 37 and 39 points, respectively, but he still finished with a strong line in this win. The star floor general, who's gaining steam as a potential MVP winner, has picked things right where he left them before the break and is averaging 31.0 points, 6.5 rebounds and 7.3 assists per game in four outings following the All-Star festivities.
Feb 24, 2025
Another big night in OT loss
Gilgeous-Alexander closed Monday's 131-128 overtime loss to the Timberwolves with 39 points (11-20 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 14-17 FT), 10 rebounds and eight assists across 42 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander and the Thunder appeared to be on the way to a second straight victory over the T-Wolves in as many nights, with the Kentucky product posting yet another dominant final line. However, Gilgeous-Alexander was unable to hit a game-winning shot in the fourth quarter following a Minnesota rally, and he had another attempt late in overtime swatted away. This doesn't take away from the fact that the 26-year-old continues to play at an extremely high level, recording his first double-double since Jan. 19 while scoring 30 or more points for the seventh time in 11 February appearances.
Feb 24, 2025
Dominant in win
Gilgeous-Alexander provided 37 points (13-24 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 8-11 FT), eight rebounds, eight assists, three blocks and three steals over 38 minutes during Sunday's 130-123 win over Minnesota.
ANALYSIS
The Thunder improved to 9-1 in February with Gilgeous-Alexander putting up yet another impressive display. During that stretch, Gilgeous-Alexander has been the third best player in nine-category fantasy leagues with 31.5 points, 7.0 assists, 4.5 rebounds, 1.2 steals, 1.2 blocks and 2.3 three-pointers.
Feb 22, 2025
Fires up 21 in Friday's win
Gilgeous-Alexander logged 21 points (7-16 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 6-6 FT), two rebounds, eight assists, three blocks and one steal across 32 minutes during Friday's 130-107 victory over the Jazz.
ANALYSIS
The Thunder led by 21 points at halftime and emptied their bench late, otherwise SGA would likely have put together a much bigger performance. The MVP favorite still extended his streak of appearances with at least 20 points to a stunning 50 games -- the only time he's missed that mark all season was Oct. 30, when he came up with just 18 points in a win over the Spurs -- and since the calendar flipped to 2025, Gilgeous-Alexander has averaged 33.7 points, 6.2 assists, 4.4 boards, 1.9 threes, 1.7 steals and 0.9 blocks over 22 contests while shooting 51.3 percent from the floor.
Feb 16, 2025
Cools off in ASG final

ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander paced Team Chuck in their first-round victory over Team Kenny, connecting on all five of his field-goal attempts and finishing with 12 points, two rebounds, one assist and one block over 7:10 of playing time, but he wasn't able to carry that momentum into the finals. Now that the All-Star Game is over, Gilgeous-Alexander, fellow All-Star Jalen Williams and the Thunder will look expand on their eight-game cushion at the top of the Western Conference standings, starting with Friday's game against the Jazz.
Feb 16, 2025
Starting in All Star Game

ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander continues to make a strong case for NBA MVP this season, as he's coming off another strong performance, scoring a game-high 31 points in Monday's win against New Orleans.

Goes off for 50 points in rout

ANALYSIS
It was yet another magnificent performance by Gilgeous-Alexander, who continued to add to his MVP-caliber campaign in 2024-25 against a Suns team that simply had no answer for him Wednesday. The superstar guard now reached the 50-point plateau in three games this season. Over his last 10 games, Gilgeous-Alexander has averaged a robust 38.4 points, 6.4 assists, 4.3 rebounds, 1.7 steals, 0.7 blocks and 1.7 threes while shooting 57.8 percent from the field. His next act comes Friday against the Raptors, who rank 27th in the NBA in defensive efficiency rating (116.0).
Feb 4, 2025
Tops 30 again in Monday's rout
Gilgeous-Alexander provided 34 points (15-19 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-3 FT), three rebounds and six assists in 22 minutes during Monday's 125-96 win over Milwaukee.
ANALYSIS
With the Bucks extremely shorthanded on the second night of a back-to-back, the outcome was a foregone conclusion -- the Thunder built a 17-point lead in the first quarter and never looked back -- but Gilgeous-Alexander still took full advantage of the mismatch before getting some extra rest in the second half. The 26-year-old guard has scored more than 25 points in every game since the calendar flipped to 2025, averaging a massive 35.1 points, 6.0 assists, 4.5 boards, 1.9 steals, 1.6 threes and 0.8 blocks over the last 15 contests while shooting 54.3 percent from the floor.

ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander has now recorded over 50 points in two of his last four outings. The superstar guard's season average of 32.5 points per contest is leading the NBA. A large part of Gilgeous-Alexander's efficient scoring comes from his ability to get to the charity stripe at a high rate and convert 90.4 percent of his free throws.
Jan 26, 2025
Does it all in 35-point performance
Gilgeous-Alexander notched 35 points (12-25 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 9-9 FT), five rebounds, one assist and three steals in 37 minutes during Sunday's 118-108 victory over the Trail Blazers.

ANALYSIS
The Thunder were up by 20 points coming out of the first quarter and the outcome was never in doubt, limiting the production and court time of OKC's starters.

Good to go Sunday

Jan 18, 2025
Questionable for Sunday
Gilgeous-Alexander (wrist) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Nets.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander missed the second leg of Oklahoma City's back-to-back set on Friday due to a sprain. He wasn't on the original injury report the Thunder submitted, but complained of soreness in his wrist Friday morning. If he's unable to play Sunday, Aaron Wiggins could see another start after scoring 12 points with six rebounds, two assists, one steal and two triples in 23 minutes Friday.
Jan 17, 2025
Ruled out vs. Dallas
Gilgeous-Alexander (wrist) is out for Friday's game against the Mavericks, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander will miss the second leg of this back-to-back set due to a wrist sprain. The Thunder are being extremely cautious with their star guard, as they'll avoid any potential scenario where he has to miss an extended period of time. Aaron Wiggins will start in his place to face the Mavs, whereas Gilgeous-Alexander's next chance to play will come against the Nets on Sunday.
Jan 17, 2025
Questionable for Friday
Gilgeous-Alexander is questionable for Friday's game against the Mavericks with a sore right wrist, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander was a very late addition to the injury report which is a concerning sign for fantasy managers. Friday's game is the second leg of a back-to-back set, increasing the likelihood of a possible missed game. He was excellent Thursday against the Cavaliers, finishing with 40 points (17-26 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 5-5 FT), three rebounds, eight assists and two steals over 29 minutes. Players like Cason Wallace, Alex Caruso, Isaiah Joe and Aaron Wiggins would need to soak up a lot of minutes and touches if Gilgeous-Alexander can't give it a go.
Jan 17, 2025
Fifth 40-point effort of season
Gilgeous-Alexander produced a game-high 40 points (17-26 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 5-5 FT), three rebounds, eight assists and two steals over 29 minutes during Thursday's 134-114 win over the Cavaliers.
ANALYSIS
It was Gilgeous-Alexander's fifth game of his MVP-caliber campaign where he scored at least 40 points, and he also handed out a team-high eight assists in just 29 minutes against a tough Cavaliers defense Thursday. The superstar guard has been spectacular all season long, and he's averaging 33.9 points, 5.7 assists, 4.8 rebounds, 2.2 steals, 1.1 blocks and 1.6 threes across his last 10 contests. As long as running mate Chet Holmgren (hip) sits on the shelf, Gilgeous-Alexander should continue producing at an even higher level than he normally does.
Jan 14, 2025
Shines in victory Tuesday
Gilgeous-Alexander supplied 32 points (12-15 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 7-8 FT), nine assists, three rebounds, two steals and one block over 33 minutes during Tuesday's 118-102 victory over the 76ers.

ANALYSIS
The MVP candidate compensated for his worst shooting performance of the season with his best night of the year at the charity stripe. Gilgeous-Alexander has scored 20-plus points in an eye-popping 34 straight games, but his contributions aren't limited to the offensive end of the court -- the 26-year-old guard has nabbed at least one steal in 15 straight contests, averaging 33.7 points, 5.9 boards, 5.2 assists, 2.4 steals, 2.2 threes and 1.3 blocks over that stretch while shooting 54.2 percent from the floor and 40.7 percent from long range.

ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander led the way for the Thunder in this 25-point win over the Knicks. Even though he didn't fill the stat sheet as usual, his scoring contributions proved to be enough to make him one of the game's standout performers. This level of performances are becoming the norm for the MVP candidate, however, as Gilgeous-Alexander has surpassed the 30-point mark in six of his last seven outings, averaging 34.3 points per game in that span.

The superstar guard has been on a roll lately, averaging a robust 35.3 points, 5.7 assists, 5.3 rebounds, 2.2 steals, 1.7 blocks and 2.3 threes through his last six outings. Gilgeous-Alexander should continue handling more responsibility on both ends of the floor amid running mate Chet Holmgren's (hip) ongoing absence, which has helped lead to his MVP-caliber start to the campaign for the 28-5 Thunder. Gilgeous-Alexander's next act will come in a tough matchup Friday against the 24-10 Knicks on the second night of a back-to-back.
Jan 1, 2025

Saturday did mark his lowest scoring output since a 21-point showing during the Nov. 4 win over the Magic, though. The 26-year-old MVP candidate also saw a 19-game streak with at least 25 points get snapped in this one, but over this 20-game period since Nov. 11 amid running mate Chet Holmgren's (hip) absence, he's still averaging a magnificent 33.2 points, 6.1 assists, 5.5 rebounds, 2.3 steals, 1.2 blocks and 2.6 three-pointers. Gilgeous-Alexander remains a fantasy gem with very few flaws in his arsenal, with his 2.7 turnovers per game perhaps being the lone blemish.

Inefficient against Spurs

Gilgeous-Alexander scored his fewest points of the season Wednesday despite the Thunder coming out on top. The star guard has started off the season shooting poorly, converting just 27.3 percent of his 8.3 three-point attempts per contest.

Oct 28, 2024
Goes for 35 points Sunday
Gilgeous-Alexander ended Sunday's 128-104 victory over the Hawks with 35 points (11-24 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 10-11 FT), 11 rebounds, nine assists, three blocks and three steals over 36 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander delivered another impressive showing Sunday and outplayed Trae Young in a battle between two of the most productive point guards in the early stages of the season.

It's still early in the season, but the Thunder star is already averaging 28.7 points, 8.7 rebounds, 6.3 assists, 3.0 steals and 2.0 blocks per game to open the 2024-25 season.

Gilgeous-Alexander's ability to stuff the stat sheet while being an excellent scorer makes him a stud in fantasy across all formats -- even in off nights where his shot isn't falling like Saturday's.
Oct 25, 2024
Spins up 28 points im opener
Gilgeous-Alexander produced 28 points (11-24 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 4-5 FT), seven rebounds, eight assists, three blocks and two steals over 36 minutes during Thursday's 102-87 win over Denver.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander matched his 28 points with excellent results in every secondary category, including an uncharacteristic three blocked shots. The standout point guard's supporting cast didn't do much outside of Chet Holmgren's 25 points, He'll need more support if the team wants to compete in the West, but a win over the Nuggets is a great way to kick things off.
Oct 16, 2024
Leads OKC in scoring Tuesday

ANALYSIS
The Thunder cruised their way in this preseason victory and the star floor general led the team in scoring despite being limited to just 20 minutes. One of the best players in the NBA in the 2023-24 season and an absolute stud across all fantasy formats, Gilgeous-Alexander should be the main offensive threat in a stacked Thunder team when they open their regular-season campaign against the Nuggets on Oct. 24.
Oct 10, 2024
Efficient in preseason loss
Gilgeous-Alexander scored 15 points (5-7 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 3-3 FT) while adding two rebounds, six assists and a block across 19 minutes in Wednesday's 122-113 preseason loss to the Rockets.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander was one of the best players in the 2023-24 NBA season, and that doesn't figure to change in 2024-25 as long as he remains healthy. Preseason stats are almost meaningless for star players, but if this game serves as any indication, then the star floor general is more than ready for the regular-season opener against the Nuggets on Oct. 24.
Oct 8, 2024
Expected to play Wednesday
Gilgeous-Alexander (rest) is expected to play in Wednesday's preseason game against the Rockets, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.

Won't play Monday
Coach Mark Daigneault said Sunday that Gilgeous-Alexander (rest) will not play in Monday's preseason opener against the Spurs, Nick Gallo of the Thunder's official site reports.
ANALYSIS

ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander has unsurprisingly been integral to Canada's undefeated run in the group stage of the Olympics, and he's scored at least 20 points in two of his three appearances. He was particularly effective from the charity stripe Friday and drained several late free throws to help clinch the win. Gilgeous-Alexander should remain heavily involved during the knockout round.
Jul 27, 2024
Team-high seven assists in win
Gilgeous-Alexander posted 21 points (5-10 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 9-10 FT), seven assists, five rebounds, two blocks and one steal across 30 minutes in Canada's 86-79 win over Greece in the Paris Olympics on Saturday.
ANALYSIS
While Greece tried to contain Gilgeous-Alexander, he continued to find a way to score and feed his teammates along the way. The All-Star had a team-high seven assists, but he also led the team in blocks as well. The 26-year-old will likely continue to serve as the No. 1 option for Canada, and his ability to score and find his teammates will play an extremely important factor in the squad's success.

Starring for Canada

In a team littered with NBA talent, Canada has expectations to compete for a medal in Paris. Even alongside players like Jamal Murray, RJ Barrett, Luguentz Dort and Andrew Nembhard, Gilgeous-Alexander should operate as the squad's go-to scorer.

ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander did everything he could to get the Thunder over the line Saturday, pouring in a game-high 36 points. While he ultimately fell short of his goal, enough can't be said about how good he was this season. The Thunder are just starting their journey and with so many draft picks to work with, there is scope for them to improve their roster sooner rather than later. Despite the disappointment, Gilgeous-Alexander is poised to continue his ascension and will likely be in the MVP discussion again next season.
May 16, 2024
Impressive outing not enough
Gilgeous-Alexander racked up 30 points (12-22 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 4-6 FT), six rebounds, eight assists, one block and two steals across 43 minutes during Wednesday's 104-92 loss to Dallas in Game 5 of the Western Conference Semifinals.
ANALYSIS
Whether the Thunder struggle offensively or not, Gilgeous-Alexander will always get the job done. Unfortunately, he couldn't do everything on his own Wednesday, and he came up short of carrying OKC to a Game 5 victory despite filling out the stat sheet admirably. With the Thunder's back against the wall, Gilgeous-Alexander will need to be at his best on Saturday, as the Thunder will aim to avoid an early playoff exit on the road in Game 6. The star floor general is averaging 31.4 points, 9.0 rebounds and 7.2 assists per game in the current series against Dallas while riding a four-game streak of appearances with 30 or more points.

ANALYSIS

He surpassed the 30-point threshold in just one of the four games in the opening-round series against the Pelicans, but he's been asked to do more this time around, and he's now on a run of three straight outings with 30-plus points. He's averaging 31.8 points, 9.8 rebounds and 7.0 assists per game in the series against Dallas, with Game 5 scheduled for Wednesday at Paycom Center.

ANALYSIS

The All-Star averaged a stunning 28.5 points, 7.5 rebounds and 6.2 assists over six playoff games heading into Saturday's contest, making him one of the league's most prolific postseason contributors. His most noticeable stat of the evening was a career-high five blocked shots. Prior to Saturday, the guard had only recorded four swats three times in his pro career.

ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander finished just two assists away from recording a triple-double, but his outstanding two-way play was not enough as the Thunder came up short in Game 2 of the series. The loss shouldn't take anything away from Gilgeous-Alexander's impact from a fantasy perspective. He's averaging 28.5 points, 7.5 rebounds and 6.2 assists per game across six playoff contests.
May 8, 2024
Flirts with triple-double Tuesday

ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander fell agonizingly short of his first career playoff triple-double, guiding the Thunder to an emphatic Game 1 victory. While this was a close contest for the first three quarters, Oklahoma City took over late, led by the MVP candidate. He will look to build on this performance when the two teams clash again Thursday.

Notches double-double in series finale
Gilgeous-Alexander totaled 24 points (8-21 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 7-13 FT), 10 rebounds, three assists and two blocks over 40 minutes during Monday's 97-89 win over the Pelicans in Game 4 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander struggled with his shooting touch in this one, but he crashed the boards for a series-high 10 rebounds, marking his first double-double of the 2024 postseason. The Kentucky product appeared to tweak his ankle during Monday's matchup, but he was able to work through the issue on the Thunder bench and eventually returned to lead his team to a series-clinching victory. "Just tweaked it," said head coach Mark Daigneault on Gilgeous-Alexander's ankle injury. "Obviously good enough to go back into the game. He'll need treatment. These next couple days will really help him. Obviously didn't impact his availability in tonight's game, nor should it moving forward."
Apr 25, 2024
Goes for 33 points in Game 2 win
Gilgeous-Alexander had 33 points (13-19 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three rebounds, five assists and two steals across 35 minutes during Wednesday's 124-92 victory over the Pelicans in Game 2 of the Western Conference Quarterfinals.
ANALYSIS
The Thunder secured a statement win in Game 2 of the series, and Gilgeous-Alexander was absolutely dominant en route to his first 30-point effort since April 9, when he exploded for 40 points in a win over the Kings. Gilgeous-Alexander should lead the Thunder in Game 3 on Saturday, and he's having an excellent series so far, shooting 55.8 percent from the field and 37.5 percent from deep in the first two games against New Orleans.
Apr 22, 2024
Carries OKC to victory in Game 1
Gilgeous-Alexander closed with 28 points (11-24 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 6-7 FT), six rebounds and four assists across 39 minutes during Sunday's 94-92 victory over New Orleans in Game 1 of the Western Conference Quarterfinals.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander looked a bit off at times and wasn't as dominant as he's been in previous games, but the star floor general came through when the team needed him the most, and an off-balance shot in the dying stages of the fourth quarter would prove to be the game-winner for a Thunder team that had to work harder than expected to get past New Orleans. Gilgeous-Alexander was massive during the regular season and was named a finalist for the MVP Award on Sunday, so he's expected to continue leading the way for the Thunder in this series. Game 2 is scheduled for Wednesday at Paycom Center.
Apr 11, 2024
Drops game-high 26 in win
Gilgeous-Alexander closed Wednesday's 127-89 win over San Antonio with 26 points (10-18 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 5-5 FT), six rebounds and five assists over 26 minutes.
ANALYSIS
The 25-year-old guard led all scorers on the night as OKC cruised to an easy win over a shorthanded Spurs squad. Gilgeous-Alexander has looked like his usual self in two games since returning from a quadricep strain, and with the Thunder still trying to topple the Nuggets and claim the top seed in the Western Conference, expect him to see heavy usage over the final two games of the regular season.
Apr 10, 2024
Scores 40 points in return
Gilgeous-Alexander ended with 40 points (11-21 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 16-20 FT), seven rebounds, four assists, two blocks and two steals over 38 minutes during Tuesday's 112-105 win over the Kings.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander missed the past four games for the Thunder, but returned in style to lead the Thunder to their 54th win of the campaign. This was Gilgeous-Alexander's sixth game of the season with at least 40 points, and it's safe to say that he has put his quadriceps issue behind him with this performance.
Apr 9, 2024
Full-go against Sacramento
Gilgeous-Alexander won't face any restrictions during Tuesday's game versus the Kings, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander is set to return to action Tuesday after missing the Thunder's last four games with a quadriceps injury. The star guard won't be operating under a minutes restriction and should be able to play around his season average of 34.4 minutes per contest.
Apr 8, 2024
Not listed on injury report
Gilgeous-Alexander (quadricep) isn't listed on the injury report for Tuesday's game against the Kings.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander has missed four straight and six of the last seven games due to a quadriceps injury, but he'll return to action Tuesday. In March (13 games), the superstar point guard averaged 26.3 points, 5.5 rebounds, 5.5 assists, 2.0 steals and 0.9 blocks in 34.2 minutes per game. The Thunder are battling for the No. 1 seed in the Western Conference, so it'd be surprising if they put significant restrictions on Gilgeous-Alexander over the final week of the regular season.
Apr 5, 2024
Returns to Oklahoma City
Coach Mark Daigneault said Friday that Gilgeous-Alexander returned to Oklahoma City on Thursday and will miss the final two games of the Thunder's current road trip, Joel Lorenzi of The Oklahoman reports.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander was already ruled out for Friday's matchup in Indiana, but he'll also miss Sunday's contest in Charlotte. Daigneault said the team is worried the superstar point guard will lose his conditioning on the road, as there's less access to gyms while traveling. The Thunder will return to Oklahoma City ahead of Tuesday's game versus the Kings, but Gilgeous-Alexander's status for that game remains to be determined. Cason Wallace, Aaron Wiggins and Isaiah Joe should continue to see increased playing time until Gilgeous-Alexander is cleared for a full workload.
Apr 4, 2024
Remains out against Indiana
Gilgeous-Alexander (quadriceps) won't play in Friday's game versus the Pacers.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander's absence streak will extend to three games Friday due to a right quad contusion. Cason Wallace will likely draw another start in his continued absence. Gilgeous-Alexander's next chance to suit up is Sunday's matchup with Charlotte.
Apr 3, 2024
Won't play Wednesday
Gilgeous-Alexander (quadriceps) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Celtics.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander and Jalen Williams (ankle) were both absent for Tuesday's loss to Philadelphia and will remain sidelined for the second half of the Thunder's back-to-back set. It'll mark Gilgeous-Alexander's fourth absence over Oklahoma City's last five games due to a right quad bruise, and his next chance to suit up will come Friday in Indiana. Aaron Wiggins and Jaylin Williams started Tuesday, but Isaiah Joe and Gordon Hayward also saw increased roles off the bench.
Apr 2, 2024
Officially out Tuesday
Gilgeous-Alexander (quad) will not play in Tuesday's game against Philadelphia, Brandon Rahbar of DailyThunder.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander will miss his third contest out of Oklahoma City's last four games due to a right quad bruise. Jalen Williams (ankle) is also inactive Tuesday, so Josh Giddey will be relied on as a playmaker, while Isaiah Joe could step into an important role offensively. Gilgeous-Alexander's next opportunity to take the court comes in short order as the Thunder close a back-to-back set Wednesday versus Boston.
Apr 2, 2024
Still considered questionable
Gilgeous-Alexander (quadriceps) did not go through Tuesday's morning shootaround, but he remains questionable to face the 76ers, Tim Bontemps of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander received treatment on his quadriceps Tuesday morning, and it's possible he could end up being a game-time decision. As for Jalen Williams (ankle), he will be held out against the 76ers. Cason Wallace, Isaiah Joe and Aaron Wiggins could see more action if Gilgeous-Alexander is unable to suit up.
Apr 1, 2024
Listed questionable for Tuesday
Gilgeous-Alexander (quadriceps) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the 76ers.
ANALYSIS
Surprisingly, Gilgeous-Alexander played Sunday versus the Knicks after initially being listed as doubtful, but he delivered a subpar outing during his return from a two-game absence. He'll attempt to play through the issue again Tuesday, but his availability will likely come down to a game-time decision. If Gilgeous-Alexander is sidelined again, Cason Wallace and Isaiah Joe are candidates for increased playing time.
Apr 1, 2024
Subpar display in return
Gilgeous-Alexander closed with 19 points (7-16 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), two rebounds, three assists and one steal in 35 minutes during Sunday's 113-112 win over the Knicks.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander didn't have his best performance in his return from a two-game absence, and while his final stat line was not woeful by any means, the star floor general looked a bit rusty and lacked some of the explosiveness that has characterized him all season. The fact that he logged 35 minutes is certainly positive, and it remains to be seen if he'll be able to handle a full workload when the Thunder take on the 76ers on Tuesday.
Mar 31, 2024
Good to go Sunday
Gilgeous-Alexander is available and won't face any restrictions during Sunday's game against the Knicks, Nick Gallo of the Thunder's official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander missed back-to-back games and was trending toward a third straight absence after being listed as doubtful. However, he was upgraded to questionable Sunday morning after participating in the Thunder's morning shootaround and has officially gotten the green light to return to game action. In March (12 games), Gilgeous-Alexander has averaged 26.9 points, 5.8 rebounds, 5.7 assists, 2.1 steals and 1.0 blocks in 34.2 minutes per game.
Mar 31, 2024
Present for shootaround
Gilgeous-Alexander was seen getting shots up at morning shootaround in advance of Sunday's game against the Knicks Joel Lorenzi of The Oklahoman reports.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander is trending in the right direction to suit up Sunday, but his status will still need to be monitored. The Thunder have posted a 1-2 record without him this season, beating Phoenix on Friday but losing to Houston and Golden State in prior affairs.
Mar 31, 2024
Upgraded to questionable
Gilgeous-Alexander (quad) has ascended to questionable in advance of Sunday's game against the Knicks.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander has missed two consecutive contests due to a right quad bruise, but he appears to be on the mend. His status could come down to pregame warm-ups, and while ensuring his rest-of-season health is likely an organizational priority, Oklahoma City remains amid a contested battle with Minnesota for the top seed in the Western Conference. Isaiah Joe and Aaron Wiggins have worked with enlarged workloads in Gilgeous-Alexander's recent absences.
Mar 30, 2024
Doubtful for Sunday
Gilgeous-Alexander (quadriceps) is doubtful for Sunday's game against the Knicks.
ANALYSIS
This will likely be the third straight game on the shelf for Gilgeous-Alexander, and there hasn't been many updates on his progress. The Thunder are currently second in the Western Conference and are on cruise control, so it's possible they are being extra cautious.
Mar 29, 2024
Downgraded to out
Gilgeous-Alexander (quadriceps) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Suns, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
As expected, Gilgeous-Alexander has been downgraded from doubtful to out and will miss a second consecutive game. Cason Wallace should draw another start, while Josh Giddey handles more ball-handling responsibilities. Gilgeous-Alexander's next chance to suit up will come Sunday in New York.
Mar 28, 2024
Doubtful for Friday
Gilgeous-Alexander (quadriceps) is doubtful to play Friday against the Suns.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander missed Wednesday's overtime loss to the Rockets due to a right quadriceps contusion, so it remains to be seen whether he'll be able to tolerate the pain enough to play, or if the Thunder will remain cautious with his recovery process given their position in the standings. If Gilgeous-Alexander ends up being ruled out Friday, then Cason Wallace could remain in the starting lineup.
Mar 27, 2024
Won't play Wednesday
Gigeous-Alexander has been ruled out for Wednesday's game versus the Rockets due to a right quadriceps contusion.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander will sit out the second leg of the Thunder's back-to-back Wednesday due to a right quadriceps injury he suffered against Utah. Cason Wallace and Isaiah Joe are candidates to receive increased playing time in his absence. Gilgeous-Alexander's next chance to suit up is Friday's matchup with Phoenix.
Mar 27, 2024
Mediocre by lofty standards
Gilgeous-Alexander closed with 24 points (9-20 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 5-6 FT), five rebounds, eight assists and two steals in 38 minutes during Tuesday's 119-112 win over the Pelicans.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander's midrange prowess was not as sharp as usual, but it's a testament to his nightly dominance that he has failed to score 20 points just four times across 70 appearances this season. Herbert Jones and Trey Murphy represented difficult matchups for Gilgeous-Alexander on Tuesday, and another man up for the challenge comes to town Wednesday when Oklahoma City will face Dillon Brooks and the Rockets.
Mar 22, 2024
All-around effort in Toronto
Gilgeous-Alexander contributed 23 points (9-20 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 4-6 FT), seven rebounds, eight assists, one block and three steals across 33 minutes during Friday's 123-103 win over the Raptors.
ANALYSIS
The last time he faced off against the Raptors on Feb. 4, Gilgeous-Alexander was one rebound shy from registering a triple-double en route to a double-OT victory. Friday's contest wasn't as close as the first matchup, as the Thunder ballooned their lead by as much as 23 points, thanks in large part to Gilgeous-Alexander's efforts. The All-Star point guard is averaging 29.7 points on 53.1 percent shooting, 6.1 rebounds, 5.9 assists, 1.1 blocks and 1.8 steals over 34.0 minutes per game.
Mar 21, 2024
Hits for 31 against Utah
Gilgeous-Alexander recorded 31 points (12-22 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 5-6 FT), three rebounds, seven assists and four steals in 33 minutes during Wednesday's 119-107 victory over the Jazz.
ANALYSIS
The buckets just keep coming for Gilgeous-Alexander, who has reached 30 points in 11 of 14 games since the All-Star break. The 25-year-old guard is averaging 30.2 points, 6.0 boards, 5.7 assists, 1.7 steals, 1.7 threes and 1.1 blocks over that stretch while shooting 53.7 percent from the floor.
Mar 17, 2024
Limited to 20 points Saturday
Gilgeous-Alexander had 20 points (8-16 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 3-6 FT), seven rebounds, three assists and one block in 35 minutes during Saturday's 118-112 victory over the Grizzlies.
ANALYSIS
Saying that Gilgeous-Alexander was "limited" to just 20 points should say everything fantasy managers need to know regarding his importance on the Thunder offensive scheme. One of the best all-around fantasy assets, regardless of the league and format, Gilgeous-Alexander continues to put up elite numbers every time he steps on the court, to the point that this outing was just a bump on the road for him. The star floor general should bounce back when the Thunder take on the Jazz on Wednesday.
Mar 15, 2024
Top scorer in near double-double
Gilgeous-Alexander produced 31 points (9-16 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 12-15 FT), nine rebounds, five assists and two steals across 37 minutes during Thursday's 126-119 win over Dallas.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander led all Thunder players in scoring while posting a team-high rebound mark and a team-high-tying handful of assists in a well-rounded performance. Gilgeous-Alexander, who ended one board short of a double-double, has tallied at least 30 points, nine rebounds and five assists in five games this season. He has now surpassed the 30-point mark in four of his last five outings.
Mar 13, 2024
Big double-double against Indiana
Gilgeous-Alexander logged 30 points (12-27 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 5-6 FT), 10 rebounds, five assists, one block and two steals over 37 minutes during Tuesday's 121-111 loss to the Pacers.
ANALYSIS
The 25-year-old guard didn't get enough help to avoid a loss, but Gilgeous-Alexander still delivered his eighth double-double of the season and first since Feb. 4. SGA's scoring remains elite, though -- he's hit for at least 30 points in 11 of the last 13 games, averaging 31.6 points, 5.9 assists, 5.5 boards, 1.8 threes, 1.6 steals and 1.3 blocks over that stretch while shooting 53.4 percent from the floor and 43.6 percent from long distance.
Mar 9, 2024
Shines in win over Miami
Gilgeous-Alexander closed Friday's 107-100 win over Miami with 37 points (13-25 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 9-11 FT), five rebounds, six assists, two blocks and one steal in 36 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander was absolutely dominant in Friday's win, and even though he struggled a bit from three-point range, he finished with his second straight 37-point performance. Furthermore, Gilgeous-Alexander has now scored at least 30 points in all but one of his last 11 appearances, a span in which he's averaging 32.5 points, as well as 6.0 assists and 5.4 rebounds, per game.
Mar 7, 2024
Puts up 37 points in victory
Gilgeous-Alexander registered 37 points (13-23 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 11-12 FT), three rebounds, five assists, one block and one steal across 36 minutes during Wednesday's 128-120 win over the Trail Blazers.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander got back on the 30-point train after failing to hit the mark in the loss to the Lakers. Few players in the league are as productive and consistent as Alexander, who is averaging 31.1 points, 6.5 assists, 5.6 rebounds and 2.1 steals this season.
Mar 5, 2024
Snaps 30-point streak in loss
Gilgeous-Alexander produced 20 points (5-13 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 9-9 FT), seven rebounds, four assists, two blocks and four steals over 30 minutes during Monday's 116-104 loss to the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander was unable to keep his massive streak of 30-point games going as the Lakers took care of business against the top team in the West. The team started out hot with Gilgeous-Alexander leading the way, but they fell into a 2-for-21 shooting slump that they never recovered from. The loss sent the Thunder a half game behind the Timberwolves int he West, but they should be able to rack up a win on the road against short-handed Portland Wednesday night.
Mar 4, 2024
Flirts with triple-double in win
Gilgeous-Alexander registered 35 points (15-27 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 5-7 FT), eight rebounds, nine assists, three blocks and three steals in 38 minutes during Sunday's 118-110 victory over the Suns.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander led a starting lineup that scored in double-digits across the board. The All-Star extended his 30-plus point scoring streak to eight games, making him one of the most productive players in the league since the All-Star break. He made 227 shot attempts in the victory, marking his third-highest total of the season in the category. The guard's only demerit was beyond the arc, where he failed to make a shot in five attempts.
Mar 1, 2024
Extends 30-point streak in loss
Gilgeous-Alexander closed with 31 points (12-22 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 6-7 FT), six rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal over 35 minutes during Thursday's 132-118 loss to San Antonio.
ANALYSIS
The Spurs pulled the upset against the Thunder on Thursday, but Gilgeous-Alexander filled the stat sheet admirably and delivered another impressive performance on both ends of the court. His ability to rack up stats left and right is elite, but undoubtedly, the most impressive stat of his season has to be the fact that he remains a player who regularly reaches the 30-point mark despite the arrival of Chet Holmgren and the emergence of Jalen Williams as a reliable offensive weapon. On that note, Gilgeous-Alexander has scored 30 or more points in his last seven contests.
Feb 26, 2024
Erupts for 36 in Houston
Gilgeous-Alexander closed with 36 points (13-23 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 8-9 FT), five rebounds, seven assists, one block and three steals over 37 minutes during Sunday's 123-110 win over the Rockets.
ANALYSIS
The 25-year-old guard continues to fill up the bucket, scoring at least 30 points for the fifth straight game and delivering more than 20 for the 17th straight contest. Gilgeous-Alexander is averaging 31.5 points, 7.4 assists, 5.1 boards, 1.9 steals, 1.5 threes and 1.2 blocks over that latter stretch while shooting 53.9 percent from the floor and a stunning 53.1 percent from beyond the arc.
Feb 24, 2024
Sniffs triple-double Friday
Gilgeous-Alexander produced 30 points (10-17 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 9-9 FT), seven rebounds, nine assists, one block and one steal in 30 minutes during Friday's 147-106 victory over the Wizards.
ANALYSIS
The Thunder cruised to an easy win over the Wizards, and Gilgeous-Alexander delivered another dominant display, as he needed just one assist and three boards away from a triple-double despite logging just 30 minutes. The star floor general continues to perform at an elite level every time he steps on the court, and the numbers back him up, as he's been the engine that has kept the Thunder going all year. The All-Star guard has scored at least 30 points in four consecutive appearances while averaging 29.8 points, 8.0 assists and 4.9 rebounds per game in February.
Feb 23, 2024
Emerges from break with 31 points
Gilgeous-Alexander closed with 31 points (12-19 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 4-6 FT), four rebounds, eight assists, two blocks and one steal across 35 minutes during Thursday's 129-107 victory over the Clippers.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander showed no mercy against the team that drafted him, dropping 19 points on 7-for-10 shooting in the first half. He finished with his third straight effort of 30-plus points while contributing solid numbers as a distributor and defender to continue what has been an MVP-caliber campaign. Gilgeous-Alexander ranks second in the NBA with 31.1 points per contest, leads the league with 2.1 steals per game and ranks 14th with 6.6 dimes per contest while adding 5.5 boards and shooting 54.7 percent from the field.
Feb 14, 2024
Pours in 32 in Orlando

ANALYSIS
The 25-year-old guard continues deliver outstanding numbers. Gilgeous-Alexander has scored 23 or more points in 14 straight games and hit for at least 30 11 times over that stretch, averaging 31.4 points, 7.2 assists, 5.1 boards, 1.9 steals, 1.4 threes and 1.1 blocks while shooting 52.7 percent from the floor and an eye-popping 54.1 percent from long distance.
Feb 12, 2024
Massive in win Sunday
Gilgeous-Alexander closed Sunday's 127-113 win over the Kings with 38 points (15-26 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 5-9 FT), three rebounds, seven assists, two blocks and one steal over 39 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander came just two points shy of reaching the 40-point mark for the sixth time this season, and the star point guard continues to perform at an elite level every time he steps on the court. Even though his offensive numbers had decreased a bit in recent games, at least compared to his lofty standards, Gilgeous-Alexander remains an above-average scorer who can also run the offensive at an elite level. The star floor general is averaging 29.0 points, 8.4 assists and 5.0 rebounds per game in five February contests.
Feb 5, 2024
Dominant in win
Gilgeous-Alexander ended Sunday's 135-127 double-overtime victory over the Raptors with 23 points (9-17 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT), nine rebounds, 14 assists, three blocks and two steals in 48 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander picked up his seventh double-double of the season and finished one board shy of his first triple-double. Gilgeous-Alexander has been borderline unfair in fantasy basketball over his last 10 games, ranking No. 1 overall in nine-category formats with 31.6 points, 7.7 assists, 5.5 rebounds, 2.3 steals, 1.1 blocks and 1.4 three-pointers.
Feb 3, 2024
Elite versatility on display
Gilgeous-Alexander chipped in 31 points (11-15 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 8-10 FT), three rebounds, nine assists, three blocks and five steals over 30 minutes during Friday's 126-106 win over Charlotte.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander continues to score at an MVP-level. The 25-year-old is the only player in the league to record a game with 30 points, five steals and one block this season, and he has done so four times. He is arguably the best two-way guard in the game.
Jan 31, 2024
Cleared to play
Gilgeous-Alexander (illness) is available for Wednesday's game against the Nuggets.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander participated in Wednesday's morning shootaround and has officially been cleared to play despite his illness. He's topped 30 points in seven consecutive appearances, averaging 32.6 points, 7.0 assists, 5.1 rebounds and 2.1 steals in 33.7 minutes per game.
Jan 31, 2024
Participates at shootaround
Gilgeous-Alexander (illness) was able to participate during Wednesday's shootaround, Rylan Stiles of FanSided.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander remains questionable ahead of Wednesday's game against the Nuggets. It's possible the Thunder wait until a little closer to tipoff before re-evaluating how the guard feels. Cason Wallace could be poised for a significant workload if Gilgeous-Alexander can't give it a go.
Jan 30, 2024
Iffy against Denver
Gilgeous-Alexander is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game versus the Nuggets due to a non-COVID illness.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander is in danger of missing just his second game of the season Wednesday due to an illness. If the star guard is ruled out, Cason Wallace will likely receive an increase in playing time.
Jan 30, 2024
All-around showing in defeat
Gilgeous-Alexander chipped in 37 points (10-18 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 15-16 FT), seven rebounds, eight assists and two steals over 39 minutes during Monday's 107-101 loss to the Timberwolves.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander led all players in Monday's contest in scoring, free throws made and assists while hauling in a team-high-tying-tying rebound total in a well-rounded showing in a losing effort. Gilgeous-Alexander has scored 35 or more points in 11 games this season, adding at least five boards and five dimes in nine of those contests.
Jan 29, 2024

ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander reached the 30-point mark for the sixth consecutive game and 12th time this month, as he continues to deliver elite numbers across the board but has also experienced a remarkable uptick in the consistency department, further establishing him as an elite fantasy alternative in all formats and on both ends of the court. Through 15 appearances in January, Gilgeous-Alexander is averaging 31.0 points, 6.4 assists, 5.4 rebounds and 1.5 steals per game.
Jan 25, 2024

He's averaging 31.1 points per game, which is fourth-best in the NBA behind Joel Embiid, Luka Doncic and Giannis Antetokounmpo.

Clutch down the stretch
Gilgeous-Alexander logged 33 points (10-22 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 12-13 FT), two rebounds, six assists and two steals in 37 minutes during Saturday's 102-97 victory over the Timberwolves. He also had four turnovers.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander delivered 11 of his 33 points in the fourth quarter, as Oklahoma City outscored Minnesota by 14 in the frame to steal a victory Saturday -- bringing the Thunder one game behind Minnesota for the top spot in the Western Conference. The 25-year-old has now logged 30 games with 30 plus-points through 41 appearances this season.
Jan 19, 2024
Hits 15 free throws Thursday
Gilgeous-Alexander chipped in 31 points (8-15 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 15-17 FT), six rebounds, six assists, one block and one steal across 35 minutes during Thursday's 134-129 win over Utah.
ANALYSIS
The Thunder mounted an impressive comeback against the Jazz on Thursday, and Gilgeous-Alexander played a pivotal role in the victory -- even if his overall stat line was not as loaded as it had been in other contests. The star floor general continues to play at a high level every time he steps on the backcourt and has established himself as a top fantasy alternative across all formats. Gilgeous-Alexander is averaging 30.5 points, 6.1 assists and 5.8 rebounds per game across his last 10 outings.
Jan 17, 2024
Has quiet performance Tuesday
Gilgeous-Alexander totaled 19 points (6-16 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 7-8 FT), two rebounds, four assists and two blocks across 34 minutes during Tuesday's 128-117 loss to the Clippers.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander figured to have some extra motivation playing against the club that drafted him and then traded him following his rookie campaign, but that didn't lead to a particularly productive performance. The star guard finished with his lowest point total since Dec. 2, when he scored 17 in a win against the Mavericks. Given Gilgeous-Alexander's overall body of work this season, it's likely that he'll bounce back in short order -- coming into Tuesday, he had scored at least 24 points in 20 straight games and averaged 32.6 points, 6.4 assists, 5.8 rebounds, 1.1 three-pointers and 2.2 steals over that span.

Good to go Monday
Gilgeous-Alexander (knee) has been cleared to play Monday against the Lakers, Rylan Stiles of FanSided.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander is in the starting lineup for Monday's game against Los Angeles and a candidate for his normal workload after progressing through a knee sprain and pregame warm-ups. He is joined by Josh Giddey, Lu Dort, Jalen Williams and Chet Holmgren in the starting lineup as part of a fully healthy Thunder squad.
Jan 15, 2024
Officially a game-time decision
Gilgeous-Alexander (knee) is a game-time decision from Monday's game against the Lakers, Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander's status will be determined after pregame warm-ups. A lingering knee sprain is bringing his status down to the wire.
Jan 14, 2024
Added to injury report
Gilgeous-Alexander is questionable to play Monday against the Lakers due to a right knee sprain.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander logged a full workload in Saturday's win over Orlando, booming for 37 points in 36 minutes, but he seemingly picked up a minor knee injury along the way. Gilgeous-Alexander was slow to get up after a collision in the fourth quarter, but he ultimately did and continued playing. Although the designation could be precautionary, the 25-year-old is nonetheless at risk of missing his second game of the season Monday.
Jan 14, 2024
Extends scoring streak Saturday
Gilgeous-Alexander contributed 37 points (13-20 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 11-12 FT), six rebounds, seven assists, one block and three steals across 36 minutes during Saturday's 112-100 win over the Magic.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander scored more than 30 points for the sixth time across his last seven appearances, and while those scoring figures are impressive per se, the fact that he complements that with excellent numbers in other categories continues to make him one of the best fantasy alternatives in the league regardless of the format or league. Consistently delivering first-round value every time he steps on the court, Gilgeous-Alexander is averaging 33.1 points, 6.2 rebounds, 6.2 assists and 1.2 steals per game over his last 10 contests.
Jan 12, 2024
Impressive efficiency Thursday
Gilgeous-Alexander logged 31 points (11-15 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 8-8 FT), five rebounds, four assists and one block over 21 minutes during Thursday's 139-77 victory over Portland.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander posted a stat line that many players would rave about over the course of an entire game, but the fact that he needed just 21 minutes to score 31 points goes to show both his incredible ability on offense and also how bad the Trail Blazers were on defense -- which ended up being translated to a 62-point loss. Gilgeous-Alexander has been on fire of late and has scored at least 30 points in five of his six January appearances, a span in which he's averaging 32.3 points, 6.8 rebounds, 6.3 assists and 0.8 steals per game.
Jan 11, 2024
Sniffs double-double again
Gilgeous-Alexander notched 28 points (11-17 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 4-5 FT), two rebounds, eight assists, one block and one steal in 34 minutes during Wednesday's 128-120 victory over the Heat.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander was efficient from the field and posted a solid overall stat line while ending just two dimes away from recording a double-double. Gilgeous-Alexander has now scored 28 or more points in five consecutive contests, a span in which he's averaging 7.2 rebounds, 6.8 assists and 1.0 steals per game. His ability to fill the stat sheet on a consistent basis boosts his upside considerably.
Jan 9, 2024
Pours in 32 against Wizards
Gilgeous-Alexander recorded 32 points (11-17 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 8-10 FT), six rebounds, five assists, one block and three steals over 36 minutes during Monday's 136-128 win over Washington.
ANALYSIS
The 25-year-old guard is on an impressive roll, topping 30 points in four straight games and 14 of the last 16. Over that month-long stretch, Gilgeous-Alexander has averaged 33.3 points, 6.4 assists, 6.3 boards, 2.4 steals and 1.1 threes while shooting 56.1 percent from the floor.
Jan 6, 2024
Strong line despite loss
Gilgeous-Alexander logged 34 points (11-19 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 10-15 FT), nine rebounds and six assists in 36 minutes during Friday's 124-115 loss to Brooklyn.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander had an excellent offensive showing Friday, but just like it happened against the Hawks on Wednesday, his scoring prowess wasn't enough to lift the Thunder to victory in a second straight contest in which the team fell short of making a fourth-quarter comeback. Despite the back-to-back losses, Gilgeous-Alexander remains an outstanding player on both ends of the court for the Thunder. Over his last 10 games, he's averaging 33.2 points, 7.1 rebounds, 6.3 assists and 1.8 steals per game.
Jan 3, 2024
Near double-double in loss
Gilgeous-Alexander finished Wednesday's 141-138 loss to the Hawks with 33 points (11-24 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 9-11 FT), 13 rebounds and eight assists over 35 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander continues to showcase his MVP candidacy this season. He was two assists away from his first triple-double of the season and is averaging 34.5 points per game to start the new year. Over his last 10 appearances, Gilgeous-Alexander is averaging 34.6 points on 54.6 percent shooting, 6.8 rebounds, 6.5 assists and 2.0 steals over 34.6 minutes per game.
Jan 3, 2024
Shines against Boston
Gilgeous-Alexander supplied 36 points (14-22 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 5-8 FT), six rebounds, seven assists and one steal across 37 minutes during Tuesday's 127-123 victory over the Celtics.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander was magnificent Tuesday and pulled the strings for the Thunder in a huge win over the Celtics, the team with the best record in the NBA. The star floor general has been a stat-filling machine this season and has somehow managed to deliver even better numbers than in 2022-23 when he was firmly in the MVP conversation from a fantasy perspective. He's averaging 31.4 points, 6.4 assists, 5.7 rebounds and 2.6 steals per game, with all those numbers being career-best numbers except for the points.
Jan 1, 2024
Scores 24 with six assists
Gilgeous-Alexander contributed 24 points (7-15 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 9-9 FT), four rebounds and six assists in 35 minutes during Sunday's 124-108 win over the Nets.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander didn't feel the stat sheet as much as he's done it in past games, but he still posted a solid stat line while carrying the Thunder to victory. His streak of games with 30 or more points came to an end Sunday, but that shouldn't take away the fact that he's been an absolute stud for the Thunder across all formats.
Dec 30, 2023
Extends impressive streak
Gilgeous-Alexander ended Friday's 119-93 win over Denver with 40 points (14-20 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 10-10 FT), four rebounds, three assists, one block and two steals over 33 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander has been on an absolute tear this season and extended his streak of games with 30 or more points to six consecutive outings, but he has also posted decent numbers in other categories. As one of the most productive players in the league when it comes to filling the stat sheet, Gilgeous-Alexander is an absolute stud across all formats, and his value in category-based leagues is off the charts since he doesn't have any glaring weaknesses in his game. The star floor general will look to extend this impressive run Sunday when hosting the Nets.
Dec 28, 2023
Fills stat sheet Wednesday
Gilgeous-Alexander amassed 36 points (13-23 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 8-9 FT), seven rebounds, eight assists, two blocks and two steals in 36 minutes during Wednesday's 129-120 win over the Knicks.
ANALYSIS
The Thunder had to work hard to get past the Knicks before pulling away late in the fourth quarter, and Gilgeous-Alexander had a dominant performance while making his presence felt on both ends of the court. His ability to fill the stat sheet is known across the league, but he's also on an impressive scoring tear after scoring 30 or more points in nine of his last 10 games. He's averaging 33.4 points, 6.8 assists, 5.9 rebounds and 3.3 steals per game in that stretch.
Dec 27, 2023
Top scorer in near double-double
Gilgeous-Alexander racked up 34 points (14-19 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 6-7 FT), six rebounds, nine assists, one block and two steals in 33 minutes during Tuesday's 129-106 win over the Timberwolves.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander led all players in Tuesday's contest in scoring and assists while also leading the Thunder in rebounds along with a pair of steals defensively in an all-around showing. Gilgeous-Alexander has tallied 30 or more points in four straight contests and has recorded at least 30 points and nine assists in four outings.
Dec 24, 2023
Drops 34 points in loss
Gilgeous-Alexander racked up 34 points (12-21 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 9-10 FT), five rebounds, seven assists and three steals in 38 minutes during Saturday's 129-120 loss to the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
Unsurprisingly, Gilgeous-Alexander was the Thunder's leading scorer in the loss, and he also paced the team in assists and steals. The superstar point guard got to his 34 points on a solid 12-for-21 shooting line, which was a nice turnaround after he had shot under 50 percent from the field in each of his prior three games. Gilgeous-Alexander continues to produce at a level that is deserving of MVP consideration -- over his past eight games, he's scored at least 30 points seven times, and across that span he is averaging 33.0 points, 6.4 assists, 5.8 rebounds and 3.6 steals over 35.0 minutes.
Dec 22, 2023
Fills stat sheet in victory
Gilgeous-Alexander supplied 31 points (11-25 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 8-9 FT), eight rebounds, four assists, two blocks and four steals over 32 minutes during Thursday's 134-115 win over the Clippers.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander looked dominant in this one and was instrumental in carrying the Thunder to victory thanks to a stellar two-way effort. He's been in an absolute roll of late with 30 or more points in six of his last seven appearances, a span in which he's also averaging 6.3 assists, 5.9 rebounds and 3.7 steals per contest.
Dec 19, 2023
Sniffs double-double again
Gilgeous-Alexander racked up 30 points (8-18 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 13-14 FT), nine rebounds, five assists and four steals across 28 minutes during Monday's 116-97 win over Memphis.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander has been outstanding this season and has been one of the most productive guards in the entire league for the second consecutive season. He ended just one rebound shy of recording a double-double, but he still filled the stat sheet enough to deliver an above-average fantasy outing. Plus, Gilgeous-Alexander reached the 30-point plateau for the fourth time over his last six outings.
Dec 17, 2023
Closes out game Saturday
Gilgeous-Alexander logged 25 points (9-20 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 7-8 FT), six rebounds, eight assists and two steals in 37 minutes during Saturday's 118-117 win over the Nuggets.
ANALYSIS
On the surface, GIlgeous-Alexander didn't have his best performance, as he struggled from the field and posted his fifth worst scoring output of the campaign. However, the star floor general stepped his game up when it mattered the most, and the iced the game by nailing the game-winning shot in the final play of the game. The fact that a 25-point, eight-assist, six-rebound performance can be classified as a "bad" outing goes to show how dominant and productive Gilgeous-Alexander has been this season.
Dec 15, 2023
Shines despite tight loss
Gilgeous-Alexander contributed 43 points (13-27 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 16-18 FT), six rebounds, nine assists and two steals over 38 minutes during Thursday's 128-123 loss to Sacramento.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander engaged in a superstar battle with De'Aaron Fox, but despite the former's impressive stat line, the Thunder came up short and settled for a tight loss on the road. Gilgeous-Alexander remains one of the best fantasy alternatives regardless of the format, and his numbers have been through the roof in recent weeks. He's averaging 32.5 points, 4.3 rebounds, 6.8 assists, 2.9 steals and 0.8 blocks per game over his last 10 outings while hitting the 30-point threshold in each of his last four contests.
Dec 12, 2023
Goes for 30 points Monday
Gilgeous-Alexander racked up 30 points (12-17 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 6-6 FT), four rebounds, seven assists and three steals over 28 minutes during Monday's 134-120 victory over the Jazz.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander extended his impressive scoring streak of 30 or more points, as he has achieved that feat in three games in a row and seven of his last eight appearances. The arrival of Chet Holmgren has reduced his scoring numbers a bit, but he continues to be an elite fantasy player who keeps delivering first-round value game after game. He's averaging 31.5 points, 6.2 assists, 5.1 rebounds and 2.8 steals per game since the start of November.
Dec 7, 2023
Seven defensive stats in loss
Gilgeous-Alexander had 33 points (13-18 FG, 7-9 FT), three rebounds, six assists, one block and six steals across 37 minutes during Wednesday's 110-101 loss to the Rockets.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander flashed his tremendous defensive upside once again, tallying six steals and one block to go with his team-high 33 points. After the first 19 games of the season, Gilgeous-Alexander finds himself atop the tree when it comes to nine-category fantasy value. At this point, there is no reason to think he won't be a top-five asset for many years to come.
Dec 3, 2023
Strong on both ends in victory
Gilgeous-Alexander racked up 17 points (6-13 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT), three rebounds, nine assists, one block and five steals in 39 minutes during Saturday's 126-120 victory over the Mavericks.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander displayed his two-way play in Saturday's victory, handing out a team-high assist total while swiping a handful of steals defensively and ending one dime short of a double-double. Gilgeous-Alexander, who recorded the second-highest point total in the win, has tallied at least 15 points and five assists in 11 games this season. He has recorded at least three steals on seven occasions this year.
Dec 1, 2023
Shines against Los Angeles
Gilgeous-Alexander totaled 33 points (11-18 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 10-10 FT), four rebounds, seven assists and one steal across 35 minutes during Thursday's 133-110 win over the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander delivered another dominant performance Thursday, and the star guard continues to show why he's one of the best fantasy assets in The Association night in and night out. He has adjusted well to having Chet Holmgren as another offensive threat, and his numbers have not suffered considerably after posting career-best figures in 2022-23. Gilgeous-Alexander is averaging 32.4 points, 5.9 assists, 5.1 rebounds, 2.3 steals and 1.1 blocks per game over his last 10 contests.
Nov 29, 2023
Surpasses 30-point mark again
Gilgeous-Alexander registered 32 points (13-22 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 6-6 FT), four rebounds, four assists, two blocks and three steals over 34 minutes during Tuesday's 106-103 loss to the Timberwolves.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander continues to put up first-round value every time he steps into the court, and by now, fantasy managers shouldn't be surprised of how good he has been on a regular basis. Even though he only has three doubles-doubles on the season, it's worth noting he has managed to maintain his place as one of the league's elite stat-stuffing machines despite the arrival of Chet Holmgren, a player who also commands a fair share of touches on offense. The numbers back him up, as Gilgeous-Alexander has now scored at least 30 points in four of his last five outings while averaging 34.2 points, 6.2 assists, 5.0 rebounds, 1.8 steals and 1.4 blocks per game in that five-game stretch.
Nov 26, 2023
Stuffs stat sheet in loss
Gilgeous-Alexander totaled 31 points (10-21 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 10-10 FT), six rebounds, five assists and two steals in 36 minutes during Saturday's 127-123 loss to the 76ers.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander's scoring numbers are down compared to last season, and the emergence of Chet Holmgren is strictly related to that, but he has improved in most of the other major categories, including his field-goal percentage and three-point shooting. Having Holmgren as a second offensive threat teams need to worry about has allowed Gilgeous-Alexander to distribute the ball more effectively across the board, and he's averaging a career-best 6.2 dimes per game. Gilgeous-Alexander continues to deliver first-round value across all formats.
Nov 23, 2023
Posts dominant double-double
Gilgeous-Alexander closed Wednesday's 116-102 win over the Bulls with 40 points (11-19 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 17-18 FT), five rebounds, 12 assists, three blocks and one steal over 37 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander logged his second 40-point performance over his last three outings Wednesday and was also effective as a passer en route to his first double-double since Oct. 27. While Gilgeous-Alexander hasn't been a consistent threat for double-doubles this year, he's been a well-rounded contributor, averaging 33.4 points, 6.1 assists, 5.8 rebounds, 2.2 steals and 1.1 blocks in 34.2 minutes per game over his last nine outings.
Nov 20, 2023
Paces team with 28 points
Gilgeous-Alexander amassed 28 points (10-13 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 7-7 FT), three rebounds, four assists and one steal over 23 minutes during Sunday's 134-91 victory over Portland.
ANALYSIS
Since missing one game 16 days ago, Gilgeous-Alexander has been on a crazy tear, averaging 32.6 points, 5.9 rebounds, 5.5 assists and 2.4 steals over eight games. The Thunder still struggle to find ample support for their star, but he's demonstrated his ability to put the team on his shoulders several times. Sunday marked Oklahoma's City's largest margin of victory this season.
Nov 19, 2023
Puts on show after halftime
Gilgeous-Alexander finished Saturday's 130-123 overtime win against the Warriors with 40 points (18-29 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, six assists, two steals and two blocks over 41 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander had a relatively quiet first half, posting eight points on 4-for-10 shooting from the field. He caught fire after halftime, however, going off for 32 points on 15-for-19 shooting to help OKC notch a thrilling comeback win. The star point guard was especially lethal in overtime, recording 10 of the Thunder's 13 points and single-handedly outscoring Golden State. This was the second time this season that Gilgeous-Alexander has posted 40-plus points, and he currently ranks fifth in the NBA with 29.8 points per contest.
Nov 17, 2023
Leading scorer in win
Gilgeous-Alexander racked up 24 points (6-21 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 9-9 FT), two rebounds, seven assists, one block and three steals over 29 minutes during Thursday's 128-109 victory over the Warriors.
ANALYSIS
The 25-year-old led all scorers on the night while dropping at least 20 points for the seventh straight game. Gilgeous-Alexander's scoring average is down a touch from his mammoth 2022-23 campaign at 28.8 points a game, but he's made up for it with a career-best pace in boards (6.5), assists (6.1) and steals (2.6) while driving the Thunder to an 8-4 start to the season.
Nov 15, 2023
Racks up seven steals
Gilgeous-Alexander posted 28 points (10-16 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 7-7 FT), seven steals, six rebounds and five assists across 28 minutes in Tuesday's 123-87 win over the Spurs.
ANALYSIS
The seven steals were a career-high total for Gilgeous-Alexander, who achieved the production despite not getting a full workload in the blowout win. Though Gilgeous-Alexander's scoring is down a tick this season from last (from 31.4 points to 29.3 points per game) due mostly to a decline in trips to the free-throw line (from 10.9 per game to 6.5), his numbers are up in every other category except for blocks, where he's still averaging 0.7 per contest. He's also played in all but one of the Thunder's first 11 games, providing welcome returns for those that selected him with a top-five overall pick in fantasy drafts.
Nov 13, 2023
Another stellar outing
Gilgeous-Alexander contributed 35 points (13-22 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 7-8 FT), seven rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal over 37 minutes during Sunday's 111-99 victory over the Suns.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander has finished with at least 35 points, seven rebounds, four assists, a steal and a block in four straight games after missing a Nov. 3 contest versus Golden State to manage a knee issue. The All-Star point guard's numbers haven't been negatively impacted by Chet Holmgren's return thus far, and he's currently averaging career-high marks in rebounds (7.0), assists (6.1) and steals (2.1) per game.
Nov 11, 2023
Leads all scorers in loss
Gilgeous-Alexander posted 33 points (14-25 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 5-6 FT), seven rebounds, six assists, two steals and two blocked shots across 37 minutes during Friday's 105-98 loss to the Kings.
ANALYSIS
As usual, Gilgeous-Alexander carried the team on his back in a close game. After holding an early lead, the Thunder were unable to seal the deal, mostly due to tepid performances from Gilgeous-Alexander's teammates. Outside of the All-Star guard, no player scored over 14 points. The team is also utilizing a 10-man rotation, and the second unit needs work, posting only 18 bench points. It will be difficult for Gilgeous-Alexander to keep this pace and stay healthy if his teammates remain inconsistent.
Nov 9, 2023
Explodes in victory
Gilgeous-Alexander produced 43 points (15-22 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 12-13 FT), seven rebounds, six assists, one block and three steals over 38 minutes during Wednesday's 128-120 victory over the Cavaliers.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander's season-high 43 points was the main catalyst in the Thunder's win over the Cavaliers. Not only was he efficient from the field, but the star guard missed just one of his 13 free-throw attempts. Gilgeous-Alexander made a strong impact defensively while showing that he can replicate his 31.4 points per game from last season.
Nov 7, 2023
Posts 30 points in return to action
Gilgeous-Alexander contributed 30 points (11-20 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 5-6 FT), eight rebounds, six assists and one steal over 37 minutes during Monday's 126-117 win over the Hawks.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander saw 37 minutes and showed no ill effects from the knee injury that held him out of Friday's game against Golden State. SGA is off to a productive start, averaging 26.7 points, 7.0 rebounds and 6.5 assists over six games.
Nov 6, 2023
Available Monday
Gilgeous-Alexander (knee) is available for Monday's matchup against the Hawks.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander was initially listed as out for this contest but was upgraded to questionable Monday morning. It's unclear if the All-Star point guard will face any restrictions during his return from a one-game absence, but fantasy managers will likely want Gilgeous-Alexander in their lineups regardless.
Nov 6, 2023
Upgraded to questionable
Gilgeous-Alexander (knee) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Hawks.
ANALYSIS
The Thunder initially listed Gilgeous-Alexander as out for Monday's game due to a sprained left knee, which would've marked back-to-back absences. However, it appears the All-Star point guard made some unexpected progress over the weekend and will attempt to suit up versus Atlanta. Gilgeous-Alexander isn't out of the woods yet, so if he's ultimately ruled out, Cason Wallace and Vasilije Micic would be candidates for increased playing time again.
Nov 5, 2023
Remains out Monday
Gilgeous-Alexander (knee) has been ruled out for Monday's game against Atlanta.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander continues to deal with a sprained left knee, and he'll be unavailable for a second consecutive game. Cason Wallace and Vasilije Micic saw increased playing time in Gilgeous-Alexander's absence during Friday's loss to the Warriors and will likely see an uptick in minutes once again Monday.
Nov 2, 2023
Won't play Friday
Gilgeous-Alexander has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Warriors, Rylan Stiles of FanSided.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander has scored 20-plus points in four of his first five appearances of the season and has averaged 24.8 points, 6.8 rebounds, 6.6 assists and 2.6 steals in 34.2 minutes per game. However, he'll be forced to miss at least one matchup due to his knee issue. Cason Wallace, Josh Giddey and Vasilije Micic could see increased run Friday, while Gilgeous-Alexander's next opportunity to suit up will be Monday against Atlanta.
Nov 1, 2023
Scores 20 points in loss
Gilgeous-Alexander finished Wednesday's 110-106 loss to the Pelicans with 20 points (8-20 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 4-5 FT), five rebounds, eight assists and three steals in 38 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander helped the Thunder get off to a 19-point lead in the first quarter when he registered eight points, three assists and two steals in the frame. He was the only starter on the team with a positive point differential with plus-three as the team failed to hold onto their big lead. Gilgeous-Alexander has scored 20-plus points and shot 40 percent or better from the field in four of five games to start the 2023-24 season.
Oct 31, 2023
Excels with 32-point output in win
Gilgeous-Alexander provided 32 points (11-23 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 9-9 FT), nine rebounds, four assists and three steals in 33 minutes during Monday's 124-112 win over the Pistons.
ANALYSIS
Aside from ending just one rebound away from a double-double, Gilgeous-Alexander bounced back admirably from his seven-point performance against the Nuggets on Sunday. The star point guard is enjoying a blistering start to the season after racking up at least 30 points in three of his first four appearances while also tallying two double-doubles in that span.
Oct 29, 2023
Struggles from field in defeat
Gilgeous-Alexander finished Sunday's 128-95 loss to Denver with seven points (2-16 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four rebounds, seven assists and one steal over 28 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander struggled shooting from the field in Sunday's loss to Denver, shooting just 12.5 percent from the field and failing to reach double figures in scoring for the first time this year. Gilgeous-Alexander, who managed to still hand out a team-leading assist total, has been off to a strong start this season despite Sunday's struggles. In three games to begin the year, he has averaged 32.5 points, 8.0 rebounds, 7.0 assists, 3.0 steals and 1.5 blocks over 36 minutes per game.
Oct 27, 2023
Does it all in win over Cavs
Gilgeous-Alexander had 34 points (15-26 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 11 rebounds, four assists and five steals over 36 minutes in Friday's 108-105 win over the Cavaliers.
ANALYSIS
It was the second straight 30-point performance for Gilgeous-Alexander as he led the team in scoring once again, and his five steals matched a career-high. He's registered a double-double in each of the first two games of the 2023-24 season and is up to 61.4 percent shooting for the year. Gilgeous-Alexander and the Thunder will travel back home for their home opener Sunday against the defending champion Nuggets.
Oct 26, 2023
Cooks in win
Gilgeous-Alexander ended Wednesday's 124-104 victory over Chicago with 31 points (12-18 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 5-5 FT), five rebounds, 10 assists, two blocks and one steal in 36 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander didn't miss a beat after averaging 31.4 points, 4.9 rebounds, 5.5 assists, 1.6 steals and 1.0 blocks per game last season. His midrange game looked to be in midseason form, which makes the Thunder as dangerous as anybody on a nightly basis.
Oct 21, 2023
Will play in season opener
Thunder coach Mark Daigneault said Saturday that Gilgeous-Alexander is good to go for Wednesday's regular-season opener against the Bulls, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander was held out of the Thunder's preseason finale for precautionary reasons but is healthy to start the regular season. There is no indication he will be on a minutes restriction and should be the focal point of the team's offense.
Oct 19, 2023
Ruled out Thursday
Gilgeous-Alexander has been ruled out for Thursday's preseason game against the Pistons due to a knee contusion, Rylan Stiles of FanSided.com reports.
ANALYSIS
While it's discouraging that Gilgeous-Alexander is dealing with an injury ahead of Thursday's preseason finale, coach Mark Daigneault said that the issue is "nothing serious." Given Daigneault's optimism, it certainly seems possible that Gilgeous-Alexander will be available for Wednesday's regular-season opener against Chicago.
Oct 18, 2023
Stuffs stat sheet against Bucks
Gilgeous-Alexander notched 10 points (4-12 FG, 2-5 3Pt), five rebounds, five assists, three steals and a block across 25 minutes in Tuesday's 124-101 preseason win over the Bucks.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander didn't have his best outing and struggled from the field, but that shouldn't matter much in the preseason, especially considering the star guard has been one of the best, and most consistent, players in fantasy over the last two seasons. He has the supporting cast and the skill set to have another excellent year while leading the Thunder to a potential playoff berth if all things align for the franchise.
Oct 16, 2023
Will play Tuesday
Gilgeous-Alexander will play in Tuesday's preseason game against the Bucks, Brandon Rahbar of the Daily Thunder reports.
ANALYSIS
No surprise here after the Thunder rested most of their regulars during Sunday's preseason contest. There's a good chance that Gilgeous-Alexander sits out the preseason finale Thursday.
Oct 15, 2023
Resting Sunday
Gilgeous-Alexander (rest) is out Sunday versus Charlotte.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander will rest alongside Oklahoma City's main contingent of contributors. His next opportunity to take the court comes Tuesday against Milwaukee.
Oct 13, 2023
Efficient numbers Thursday
Gilgeous-Alexander finished with 12 points (3-4 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 5-6 FT), two rebounds, three assists, three steals and a block across 22 minutes in Thursday's 128-125 preseason loss against the Thunder.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander's status as the alpha dog on offense for the Thunder is not under question, so he's getting minutes and reps before the start of the campaign. He is expected to be one of the most prolific guards in The Association in 2023-24, both in fantasy and real life, and he would be a solid first-round pick -- even as high as Top 5 -- in most fantasy formats.
Oct 12, 2023
Available Thursday
Gilgeous-Alexander (rest) is available for Thursday's preseason game against Detroit, Joe Mussatto of The Oklahoman reports.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander rested during Oklahoma City's preseason opener Monday, but he'll see his first preseason action of the year Thursday. It wouldn't be surprising to see the Thunder manage Gilgeous-Alexander's workload against the Pistons with just under two weeks left until the regular-season opener.
Oct 8, 2023
Will rest Sunday
Gilgeous-Alexander (rest) won't play Sunday, reports Rylan Stiles of FanSided.com.
ANALYSIS
Coming off a bronze-winning showing for Canada at the FIBA World Cup this summer, Gilgeous-Alexander is more polished than most of his peers entering training camp. The superstar will likely play in preseason at some point.
Apr 15, 2023
Stifled in season-ending loss
Gilgeous-Alexander closed Friday's 120-95 Play-In Game loss to the Timberwolves with 22 points (5-19 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 12-12 FT), seven rebounds, three assists, three blocks and one steal in 36 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander led OKC with 22 points and made all 12 of his free throws, but he was largely contained from the field, posting an ugly 5-for-19 shooting line. The point guard did manage to contribute in other ways, leading the Thunder with three blocked shots and finishing second with seven boards. Gilgeous-Alexander blossomed in his fifth NBA season, finishing fourth in the league in scoring with a career-best 31.4 points per game. Despite the disappointing ending, the Kentucky product has become one of the league's brightest young stars.
Apr 13, 2023
Goes off in second half
Gilgeous-Alexander posted 32 points (11-22 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 8-8 FT), five rebounds, three assists, one block and three steals over 41 minutes during Wednesday's 123-118 play-in game win over New Orleans.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander suffered through a sluggish first half but made up for it after halftime, scoring 25 points and a go-ahead jumper to seal the win. Despite the slow start, the All-Star shot 50 percent from the floor and was perfect from the charity stripe, drilling four key free throws in the closing seconds. The Thunder will face the Timberwolves in the next stage of the play-in tournament, which should be good news for Alexander. He posted 35 points, seven rebounds and five assists against Minnesota back in December.
Apr 12, 2023
Good to go Wednesday
Gilgeous-Alexander (rest) isn't listed on the Thunders' injury report ahead of Wednesday's matchup against the Pelicans.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander didn't play in Sunday's regular-season finale for rest purposes, but as expected, he'll be available for the Thunder's Play-In Tournament matchup against New Orleans. Across 68 regular-season appearances, the fifth-year guard averaged career highs in points (31.4), steals (1.6) and blocks (1.0) to go along with 5.5 assists and 4.8 rebounds in 35.5 minutes per game.
Apr 8, 2023
Resting Sunday
Gilgeous-Alexander (rest) will not play in Sunday's game against the Grizzlies, Rylan Stiles of FanSided.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander will not play in Sunday's regular-season finale for rest purposes, joining Luguentz Dort, Josh Giddey and Jalen Williams on the sidelines. With the Thunder locked into the 10th seed, Gilgeous-Alexander will earn a few extra days off before they take on the Timberwolves on Tuesday. Tre Mann, Aaron Wiggins, Lindy Waters and Jared Butler could all see expanded roles Sunday.
Apr 7, 2023
Solid production in win
Gilgeous-Alexander recorded 22 points (7-19 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 7-10 FT), seven rebounds, seven assists and one steal in 38 minutes during Thursday's 114-98 win over the Jazz.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander struggled from the field but still scored a team-high 22 points and finished with at least five boards and five dimes for a second straight contest. Since returning from a two-game absence, the MIP candidate has averaged 33.0 points, 6.0 rebounds, 5.8 assists and 1.0 steals in 37.0 minutes over his past four appearances.
Apr 5, 2023
Third straight 30-point game
Gilgeous-Alexander finished with 32 points (11-17 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 8-9 FT), five rebounds and seven assists across 34 minutes during Tuesday's 136-125 loss to Golden State.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander scored at least 30 points for a third straight game and finished with at least five rebounds and five assists for the first time since March 24. Over his last 13 appearances, the breakout superstar has averaged 33.8 points, 5.21 rebounds, 4.4 assists and 1.7 steals with 53/41/91 shooting splits.
Apr 3, 2023
Second straight 39-point game
Gilgeous-Alexander logged 39 points (11-22 FG, 17-17 FT), three rebounds, five assists and two steals over 38 minutes during Sunday's 128-118 loss to the Suns.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander somehow matched his stellar performance from Friday by scoring a game-high 39 points and repeating his epic free-throw performance by going 17-for-17 from the line again. The 24-year-old guard has been so consistently remarkable this season for the Thunder, it's hard to see his stock rising any higher than it already has.
Apr 1, 2023
Nears 40-point effort Friday
Gilgeous-Alexander accumulated 39 points (11-22 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 17-17 FT), nine rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal across 38 minutes before fouling out of Friday's 121-117 loss to the Pacers.
ANALYSIS
Despite Gilgeous-Alexander returning with nearly 40 points with a perfect 17-for-17 showing from the charity stripe, the Thunder could not hold a slim lead entering the fourth quarter and remain on the fringe of the playoffs, sporting a half-game lead over the Mavericks. Primarily a scorer, SGA threw his hat in the ring on the glass Friday, nearly notching his fourth triple-double of the season and third with points and rebounds. He'll remain a key cog down the stretch if OKC is to claim a spot in the Play-in Tournament.
Mar 31, 2023
Will play Friday
Gilgeous-Alexander (ankle) will play in Friday's game against the Pacers.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander was initially ruled out for Friday's game before being upgraded to questionable, and he'll ultimately see the floor following a two-game absence. In 10 appearances this month, he's averaged 32.9 points, 4.9 rebounds, 4.1 assists and 1.9 steals in 35.0 minutes. With SGA's return, Isaiah Joe should head back to the bench.
Mar 31, 2023
Upgraded to questionable
Gilgeous-Alexander (ankle) has been upgraded to questionable for Friday's game against the Pacers, Andrew Schlecht of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander was slated to miss a third straight game, according to the Thunder's initial injury report, but it appears he'll have a chance to suit up Friday, though his official availability likely won't be known until closer to the 7:00 p.m. ET tipoff. If the superstar point guard is cleared, fewer minutes with be available for Isaiah Joe, Tre Mann and Aaron Wiggins.
Mar 30, 2023
Won't play Friday
Gilgeous-Alexander (ankle) won't take the floor Friday versus the Pacers.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander will miss out on his third consecutive tilt Friday as he continues to rest his left ankle. Isaiah Joe, Tre Mann and Aaron Wiggins are candidates to see some additional run again, while SGA will shift his sights toward Sunday versus Phoenix for his next opportunity to suit up.
Mar 29, 2023
Remains sidelined against Detroit
Gilgeous-Alexander (ankle) is out for Wednesday's game versus the Pistons.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander will miss his second straight game Wednesday due to a left ankle sprain. Isaiah Joe will likely continue to start in his absence. Gilgeous-Alexander's next chance to suit up is Friday's matchup with Indiana.
Mar 28, 2023
Out Tuesday
Gilgeous-Alexander (ankle) is out for Tuesday's clash against the Hornets.
ANALYSIS
After seven straight appearances, Gilgeous-Alexander will be out due to a sprained left ankle suffered during Sunday's win over the Trail Blazers. In his absence, coach Mark Daigneault may turn to Tre Mann, Isaiah Joe and Aaron Wiggins for more backcourt minutes.
Mar 27, 2023
Questionable Tuesday
Gilgeous-Alexander is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Hornets due to a left ankle sprain.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander tweaked his ankle on a drive to the hoop during Sunday's game in Portland, and while he was able to finish that game, it appears the ankle swelled up on him on the trip back to OKC. It wouldn't be shocking to see SGA skip the first game of a back-to-back against the 25-51 Hornets, and if he does hit the sidelines, that would likely result in a start for Isaiah Joe and extended minutes for Aaron Wiggins and Tre Mann.
Mar 26, 2023
Drops 31 points in win
Gilgeous-Alexander accumulated 31 points (9-17 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 13-15 FT), two rebounds, three assists and four steals over 35 minutes during Sunday's 118-112 victory over the Trail Blazers.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander posted an efficient shooting night and got to the charity stripe with ease. This is the fourth time in 10 March appearances that he's attempted double-digit free throws. Gilgeous-Alexander has now put up 30 or more points in eight of his last 10 matchups.
Mar 25, 2023
Ties for team lead in scoring
Gilgeous-Alexander registered 27 points (9-22 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 8-9 FT), five rebounds, eight assists, one block and one steal in 36 minutes during Friday's 116-111 loss to the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander is dealing with an abdominal strain, but it didn't prevent him from taking the court in a critical game against Los Angeles. The star point guard managed to tie for the team lead with 27 points, though his 9-for-22 mark from the field was subpar by this standards. Gilgeous-Alexander added a team-high eight assists in the loss, his highest mark since he dished eight dimes the last time he faced the Lakers on Feb. 7.
Mar 24, 2023
Cleared for Friday
Gilgeous-Alexander (abdominal strain) is available for Friday's game against the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
This is the second night of a back-to-back set, but with the Thunder looking to make a playoff push, they will allow their franchise player to give it a go. He only played 27 minutes Thursday, so he should be relatively fresh.
Mar 24, 2023
Iffy against Lakers
Gigeous-Alexander is questionable for Friday's game versus the Lakers due to an abdominal strain.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeoius-Alexander's potential absence could result in extended minutes for Isaiah Joe and Tre Mann. If Gilgeous-Alexander is unable to suit up Friday, his next chance to do so will be Sunday's matchup with Portland.
Mar 24, 2023
Excels against former team
Gilgeous-Alexander produced 30 points (10-15 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 9-9 FT), four rebounds, three assists, three blocks and one steal over 27 minutes during Thursday's 127-105 loss to the Clippers.
ANALYSIS
It would be hard to blame Gilgeous-Alexander if he had a bit of a chip on his shoulder entering Thursday's contest, as he was going up against the team that drafted him -- and subsequently traded him after just one season. The star point guard flashed his standout offensive repertoire against his former club, leading OKC with 30 points on an efficient 10-for-15 mark from the field. Gilgeous-Alexander has evolved into one of the NBA's top scorers over the past few seasons, and he ranks fourth in the league this year with an average of 31.4 points per game.
Mar 22, 2023
Leads team with 31 points
Gilgeous-Alexander finished Tuesday's 101-100 victory over the Clippers with 31 points (12-25 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 6-7 FT), seven rebounds and four assists over 36 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander scored the Thunders' final 10 points to seal the victory. The elite guard is on a tear after a one-game absence,, averaging 33.8 points, 5.8 assists and 5.5 rebounds over his past four games.
Mar 20, 2023
Another big performance Sunday
Gilgeous-Alexander finished with 40 points (12-24 FG, 16-19 FT), five rebounds, four assists and one steal across 35 minutes during Sunday's 124-120 victory over the Suns.
ANALYSIS
It's the sixth time this season SGA has delivered at least 40 points, with his last such performance coming Feb. 10 against the Trail Blazers. Gilgeous-Alexander has missed a couple games in March while managing an abdominal issue, but when he's been on the court he's averaging 35.0 points, 5.2 boards, 3.8 assists and 2.2 steals over six contests.
Mar 15, 2023
Carries team to victory
Gilgeous-Alexander accumulated 35 points (12-24 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 10-12 FT), seven rebounds, four assists and one steal across 36 minutes during Tuesday's 121-107 win over Brooklyn.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander continues to dominate in March, as he's now poured in 30-plus points in each of his four appearances this month. He's also registered at least one steal in each matchup and has added solid contributions on the boards (5.8 rebounds per game). While Gilgeous-Alexander is expected to have his workload monitored closely down the stretch, he's proven this season that he's evolved into one of the league's premier scoring guards, now averaging 31.3 points through 58 matchups.
Mar 13, 2023
Not listed on injury report
Gilgeous-Alexander (abdominal) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Tuesday's matchup with the Nets.
ANALYSIS
SGA was rested on the second leg of a back-to-back Sunday, but he'll be back in action Tuesday night, which will likely return Isaiah Joe to the second unit and Aaron Wiggins' minutes could dip. The Thunder do not have a back-to-back set during Week 21, so SGA should be good to go for all three of their games.
Mar 12, 2023
Out Sunday
Gilgeous-Alexander (abdominal) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Spurs, Rylan Stiles of FanSided.com reports.
ANALYSIS
While OKC is labeling SGA's injury as an abdominal issue, his absence from the active roster likely has more to do with the fact that the Thunder are on the second leg of a back-to-back set. Aaron Wiggins, Isaiah Joe and Tre Mann will all get a boost with SGA watching from the sidelines Sunday, and Josh Giddey should have the ball in his hands more often. Gilgeous-Alexander's next opportunity to play will come Tuesday versus Brooklyn.
Mar 12, 2023
Lights up Pels in return
Gilgeous-Alexander (abdomen) finished Saturday's 110-96 win over the Pelicans with 35 points (11-23 FG, 13-13 FT), six rebounds, four steals, two assists and one block across 37 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander sat out the Thunder's previous game Wednesday against the Suns, but his absence was largely for maintenance purposes while Oklahoma City was wrapping up a back-to-back set. The All-Star point guard didn't miss a beat in his return to the lineup Saturday, delivering his usual efficiency from the field while cleaning up at the free-throw line en route to his fourth consecutive outing with at least 30 points. The Thunder will conclude another back-to-back set with a matchup Sunday in San Antonio, so Gilgeous-Alexander's fantasy managers will want to verify his status for that contest ahead of the 7 p.m. ET opening tip.
Mar 10, 2023
Will play Saturday
Gilgeous-Alexander (abdomen) will play Saturday against New Orleans, Andrew Schlecht of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
As expected, Gilgeous-Alexander will be back in action following a one-game absence to manage his abdomen injury. The Thunder previously said that they want to monitor the superstar guard's minutes during the stretch run, but he played 36 minutes and scored 33 points Tuesday versus Golden State, so it's safe to expect Gilgeous Alexander to garner his usual usage versus Pelicans.
Mar 8, 2023
Scores 33 points in win
Gilgeous-Alexander (abdomen) amassed 33 points (14-24 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 3-4 FT), three rebounds, six assists and two steals in 36 minutes during Tuesday's 137-128 victory over Golden State.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander continued to score at will Tuesday despite playing through an abdomen injury, knocking down seven of 11 shot attempts in the first half for 15 points before pouring in another 18 on 53.8 percent shooting from the field over the final two quarters. He finished second behind only Stephen Curry with 33 points in the contest and has now scored at least 30 points in three straight. The shooting guard will now sit out for Wednesday's matchup at Phoenix before likely returning to the lineup on Saturday.
Mar 7, 2023
Playing Tuesday, out Wednesday
Gilgeous-Alexander (abdomen) will play Tuesday against the Warriors but sit out Wednesday against the Suns, Rylan Stiles of FanSided.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Coach Mark Daigneault has noted that the team intends to be careful with Gilgeous-Alexander's workload for the rest of the season, as he wouldn't be playing through his abdomen injury if it was earlier in the year. While it's encouraging that the Thunder want to play SGA to shoot for a playoff spot, fantasy managers must be careful about back-to-backs. The guard will sit out the second half of the Tuesday-Wednesday set, and there's another back-to-back on Saturday and Sunday. The team hasn't decided on SGA's availability for the weekend, so fantasy managers should watch for information.
Mar 6, 2023
Shines against Utah
Gilgeous-Alexander accumulated 38 points (10-17 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 17-19 FT), seven rebounds, four assists, one block and three steals in 37 minutes during Sunday's 129-119 win over the Jazz.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander remains one of the best fantasy players in The Association this season, and he showed it again Sunday with a massive stat line. The star guard is expected to play under a minutes restriction in the final weeks of the regular season, but that's not expected to affect his fantasy upside considerably. To note, he's averaging 32.2 points, 4.9 rebounds, 5.7 assists and 1.8 steals per game since the start of February.
Mar 5, 2023
Minutes will be monitored ROS
Head coach Mark Daigneault said Sunday that the team will monitor Gilgeous-Alexander's (abdomen/COVID-19) workload for the rest of the season, Rylan Stiles of FanSided.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander is expected to suit up Sunday following a five-game absence due to a combination of ankle and abdomen injuries, plus a stint in health and safety protocols. However, Daigneault said that if it were earlier in the season, the team would want to keep the dynamic point guard sidelined to rest his abdomen injury, but since there's limited time left and the Thunder are in the mix for a play-in spot, Gilgeous-Alexander is going to play through the issue. The coach's comments are a bit concerning for fantasy managers, especially with the playoffs looming, but the severity of the restrictions remain unclear. Daigneault did mention that it's possible Oklahoma City opts to rest Gilgeous-Alexander during back-to-back sets, which would mean he'd miss at least four of the team's final 19 contests.
Mar 4, 2023
Off injury report
Gilgeous-Alexander (abdomen, COVID-19 protocols) is not on the injury report for Sunday's game against the Jazz.
ANALYSIS
After a five-game absence due to a combination of ankle and abdomen injuries, plus health and safety protocols, Gilgeous-Alexander will return to the floor. He may be on a minutes limit in his first game back, but it seems likely that he'll at least start. SGA has scored at least 20 points in 21 straight matchups, averaging 31.2 points, 5.6 assists, 4.6 rebounds, 1.6 steals and 1.1 blocks during this stretch.
Mar 2, 2023
Still out Friday
Gilgeous-Alexander (abdomen, COVID-19 protocols) remains out for Friday's game versus the Jazz.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander is no longer listed with an ankle injury but remains out due to an abdominal strain and health and safety protocols. Isaiah Joe should continue seeing more action, while Josh Giddey and Jalen Williams will have more playmaking responsibilities.
Feb 28, 2023
Enters health and safety protocols
Gilgeous-Alexander (ankle, abdomen) entered health and safety protocols Tuesday and will be out against the Kings, Joe Mussatto of The Oklahoman reports.
ANALYSIS
It seems safe to assume Gilgeous-Alexander will sit out both Tuesday against the Kings and Wednesday against the Lakers, with a chance to return Friday against the Jazz. SGA has already missed two straight games with ankle and abdomen injuries, prompting Isaiah Joe to get two consecutive starts. The guard has combined for 52 points in the pair of matchups, so fantasy managers in daily lineup leagues need to take notice.
Feb 27, 2023
Remains out Tuesday
Gilgeous-Alexander (ankle/abdomen) has been ruled out Tuesday against the Kings.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander will miss a third consecutive game as he continues to deal with right ankle soreness and an abdominal strain. It's not yet clear when he'll be able to return, but his next opportunity to do so will be Wednesday against the Lakers. Isaiah Joe will likely continue to start Tuesday.
Feb 25, 2023
Won't play Sunday
Gilgeous-Alexander (ankle/abdomen) has been ruled out for Sunday's game versus the Kings, Joe Mussatto of The Oklahoman reports.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander is dealing with right ankle soreness and a right hip flexor strain. He'll miss a second straight contest due to the issues and doesn't have a specific return timetable yet. His next chance to suit up will come Tuesday in a rematch against the Kings. Isaiah Joe, who scored 28 points Friday, figures to remain in the starting lineup until Gilgeous-Alexander returns.
Feb 24, 2023
Downgraded to out
Gilgeous-Alexander (ankle) won't play in Friday's game versus the Suns.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander will miss his first game since Jan. 3 after being downgraded from questionable to out with right ankle soreness. Isaiah Joe and Tre Mann are candidates to see extended minutes in his absence. Gilgeous-Alexander's next chance to suit up is Sunday's matchup with Sacramento.
Feb 24, 2023
Questionable Friday
Gilgeous-Alexander is questionable for Friday's game against the Suns due to right ankle soreness.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander played 40-plus minutes for the sixth time this season during Thursday's loss to the Jazz, and he posted 39 points, eight rebounds, seven assists, two steals and a block. However, he's dealing with an ankle issue before the second half of the back-to-back set. If he's unavailable against Phoenix, Tre Mann will likely see increased run.
Feb 24, 2023
Scores 39 points in tough loss
Gilgeous-Alexander ended Thursday's 120-119 overtime loss to the Jazz with 39 points (12-26 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 15-19 FT), eight rebounds, seven assists, one block and two steals in 41 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander wasted no time on the offensive end, racking up 18 first-half points on 4-of-7 shooting from the field while also sinking all 10 of his free-throw attempts. He poured in another 21 points on 8-of-19 shooting between the second half and overtime before finishing with a team-high 39 points and game-high seven assists. The point guard has scored at least 30 points in eight of his last 13 games and now shot 19 free throws in two of his last four.
Feb 16, 2023
Goes for 29 points against HOU
Gilgeous-Alexander posted 29 points (8-16 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 13-15 FT), two rebounds, six assists and two blocks across 29 minutes during Wednesday's 133-96 victory over the Rockets.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander has delivered first-round value in what has been a career-best season for him, and he has shown no signs of slowing down despite having some subpar outings from time to time. The first-time All-Star enters the break averaging 30.4 points, 5.7 assists, 4.1 rebounds and a combined 2.3 steals/blocks per game across seven February appearances.
Feb 14, 2023
Struggles despite double-double
Gilgeous-Alexander closed with 24 points (8-21 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 8-9 FT), 10 rebounds, five assists and one steal in 39 minutes during Monday's 103-100 loss to New Orleans.
ANALYSIS
For just the second time this season, Gilgeous-Alexander snagged 10 rebounds, but that was the lone bright spot.

Gilgeous-Alexander sits fifth on the NBA leaderboard in PPG behind the usual suspects (Luka Doncic, Stephen Curry, Donovan Mitchell and Giannis Antetokounmpo, who missed this contest with a knee injury), and the $179 million contract extension he signed with the Thunder last August is beginning to look like a bit of a bargain.

Carries Thunder with 33
Gilgeous-Alexander recorded 33 points (13-23 FG, 7-7 FT), seven rebounds, five assists, four blocks and one steal over 38 minutes during Monday's 112-103 loss to the Pistons.
ANALYSIS
No other OKC player managed to score more than 11 points, giving Gilgeous-Alexander little help once again. The fifth-year guard has taken his game to another level this season, averaging 30.8 points, 5.8 assists, 4.6 boards, 2.1 steals and 1.4 blocks through nine games as the Thunder's one-man show.
Nov 6, 2022
Underperforms Saturday
Gilgeous-Alexander logged 18 points (7-16 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 4-5 FT), one rebound, three assists, one block and one steal in 32 minutes during Saturday's 108-94 loss to the Bucks.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander was coming off three straight outings with 30-plus points, but this was the first contest in which he couldn't even reach the 20-point mark. That was to be expected, though, as the Bucks have one of the best defenses in the league and the Thunder are a young, inexperienced team. Don't expect Gilgeous-Alexander to lose any fantasy value, though, as this was nothing more than a bad game against an elite opponent.

Red hot start continues Tuesday
Gilgeous-Alexander amassed 34 points (12-18 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 10-11 FT), four rebounds, six assists, two blocks and three steals in 33 minutes during Tuesday's 116-108 win over Orlando.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander was up to his usual tricks once again Tuesday, continuing to put together the best stretch of his young career. He currently ranks as the best player in fantasy, no mean feat when you consider the names he is ahead of. The constant threat of missed games is a real concern for managers but at this point, you simply have to cross your fingers and toes and hope that he can stay healthy.
Oct 30, 2022
Spurs late rally to force OT
Gilgeous-Alexander supplied 38 points (15-27 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 8-8 FT), six rebounds, nine assists, one block and two steals in 41 minutes during Saturday's 117-111 overtime win over the Mavericks.
ANALYSIS
Dallas seemed to be in control of the game in the closing minutes, but Gilgeous-Alexander started humming in the final stanza, almost single-handedly forcing the game into the bonus period. The standout guard posted a season-high nine assists in the upset victory.
Oct 26, 2022
Shines against Clippers

ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander returned to action after missing Sunday's game against the Timberwolves and looked as impressive as he did in his first two appearances of the campaign. The star guard has now scored at least 28 points in each game this season and is also averaging 6.7 assists, 4.7 rebounds, 2.3 steals and 1.7 blocks per game to begin the campaign.

ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander was considered a game-time call for Sunday's matchup, but he'll be unable to play after participating in pregame warmups. Josh Giddey and Tre Mann should see increased playing time against Minnesota.
Oct 23, 2022
Warming up Sunday
Gilgeous-Alexander (hip) is warming up ahead of Sunday's game against Minnesota, Joe Mussatto of The Oklahoman reports.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander suffered his hip injury late in Saturday's loss to the Nuggets, and he's considered a game-time decision for the second half of the back-to-back set. If he doesn't feel well enough after warming up, Josh Giddy and Tre Mann should see additional run against the Timberwolves.
Oct 23, 2022
Listed questionable Sunday
Gilgeous-Alexander is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Minnesota due to a bruised hip.
ANALYSIS
This is the first we're hearing of the injury, but chances are it's nothing overly serious. Still, with the Thunder playing on the second half of a back-to-back, his status will be worth monitoring. Gilgeous-Alexander went for 28 points, seven assists, three rebounds and a steal in Saturday night's loss to Denver.
Oct 20, 2022
Dominant in season debut
Gilgeous-Alexander ended Wednesday's 115-108 loss to the Timberwolves with 32 points (12-23 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 6-6 FT), six rebounds, five assists, two blocks and three steals over 37 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander sat out the preseason due to a Grade 2 MCL sprain in his left knee, but he didn't appear to have any limitations during Wednesday's regular-season opener. Although the Thunder were unable to pick up the win, the 24-year-old led the team in scoring and assists to help keep the game within reach. Despite Gilgeous-Alexander's preseason absence, he seems to be in peak form now that the regular season is underway.
Oct 19, 2022
Starting as expected
Gilgeous-Alexander will start Wednesday's season opener against the Timberwolves, Alan Horton of the Timberwolves Radio Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander will assume his place in Oklahoma City's starting five after he was limited during the preseason due to a sprained MCL. Rounding out the rest of the starting unit will be Josh Giddey, Luguentz Dort, Aleksej Pokusevski and Kenrich Williams.
Oct 18, 2022
Good to go Wednesday
Coach Mark Daigneault indicated Tuesday that Gilgeous-Alexander (knee) will play in the opener Wednesday versus the Timberwolves, Joe Mussatto of The Oklahoman reports.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander was expected to play in the contest, and now any worries about his status have been alleviated. The star guard will aim to get his season off on the right foot after posting 24.5 points, 5.9 assists, 5.0 rebounds and 2.2 steals-plus-blocks over 34.7 minutes per game last year.
Oct 16, 2022
Expected to play in opener
Gilgeous-Alexander is expected to suit up on Wednesday against the Timberwolves,Joe Mussatto of The Oklahoman reports.
ANALYSIS
After being held out for the entire preseason, Gilgeous-Alexander will finally have the chance to showcase his skills for the season opener. Gilgeous-Alexander put up the best numbers of his career last season, averaging 24.5 points, 5.9 assists and five rebounds per night. Even though the 5th-year guard is the main focal point of this Thunder team, expect him to be on a minutes restriction Wednesday night.
Oct 14, 2022
Skips preseason finale
Gilgeous-Alexander (knee) didn't take the floor for Thursday's preseason finale against the Spurs.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander's status for the start of 2022-23 was in question entering camp, so it's no surprise that he has been held out for the entire preseason. Even if he manages to suit up for the opener against the Timberwolves next week, SGA could be on a minutes limit, given all of the time he's missed.
Oct 10, 2022
Won't play Tuesday
Gilgeous-Alexander (knee) has been ruled out for Tuesday's preseason game against the Pistons, Joe Mussatto of The Oklahoman reports.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander sustained a Grade 2 left MCL sprain during a workout in mid-September and will remain out for another exhibition matchup Tuesday.

Oct 3, 2022
Won't play Monday

Status for start of season unclear
Thunder general manager Sam Presti said Friday that the team would "love for [Gilgeous-Alexander] (knee) to be ready" for the start of the regular season, "but we can't make predictions like that," Joe Mussatto of the Oklahoman reports.
ANALYSIS
Presti added that Gilgeous-Alexander suffered the Grade 2 left MCL sprain during a recent workout, but the point guard was able to finish the session and "didn't have any pain at all." However, he felt sore the next morning, and an MRI revealed the sprain. Gilgeous-Alexander has blossomed into a potential All-Star during his time with the Thunder, but he's appeared in just 91 games over the last two seasons due to numerous injuries and is already dealing with a new issue this year.

Mar 28, 2022
Shut down for season
Gilgeous-Alexander (ankle) will be held out for the remainder of the season, Sean Highkin of BleacherReport.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander has been tending to an ankle injury over the last week or so, and the team has since elected to sit him down for the last two weeks of the regular season. This is likely a precautionary move, as the Thunder have nothing to really play for down the stretch now that they're firmly out of the playoff conversation.
Mar 27, 2022
Ruled out Monday
Gilgeous-Alexander (ankle) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Trail Blazers.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander will be unavailable for the fourth time in the last five games due to his ankle injury. Tre Mann, Theo Maledon and Vit Krejci should see additional run once again Monday, and it's not yet clear when Gilgeous-Alexander will be able to return.
Mar 26, 2022
Will miss more time
Gilgeous-Alexander (ankle) will not play Saturday against the Nuggets, Joe Mussatto of The Oklahoman reports.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander will sit out for the third time in four games, and it sounds like he will miss more time, as head coach Mark Daigneault said that Gilgeous-Alexander's day-to-day designation "is not sustainable."
Mar 23, 2022
Out Wednesday
Gilgeous-Alexander (ankle) won't play Wednesday against the Magic, Steve McGehee of News 9 Oklahoma City reports.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander recorded 31 points and nine assists over 37 minutes during Monday's loss to the Celtics, but a sore right ankle will keep him sidelined for Wednesday's matchup with Orlando. In his absence, Aleksej Pokusevski and Lindy Waters could see additional run against the Magic.
Mar 22, 2022
Questionable Wednesday
Gilgeous-Alexander (ankle) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Magic.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander sat out Sunday against the Magic due to the issue but returned to post 31 points and nine dimes against the Celtics one day later. If he sits out Wednesday, Aleksej Pokusevski could shift into the starting five again as Tre Mann and Aaron Wiggins occupy the backcourt.
Mar 22, 2022
Excellent in return
Gilgeous-Alexander chipped in 31 points (13-23 FG, 4-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), one rebound and nine assists across 37 minutes during Monday's 132-123 loss to the Celtics.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander missed the Thunder's previous game with an ankle injury, but he looked great against the Celtics on Monday. The star point guard led the team with nine assists and finished as the second-leading scorer behind Tre Mann (35 points). Gilgeous-Alexander has scored 30-plus points in 10 of his past 13 games and is averaging a career-best 24.5 points per game on the season.
Mar 21, 2022
Will play Monday
Gilgeous-Alexander (ankle) is available for Monday's game against the Celtics, Rylan Stiles of BricktownBuckets.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander missed Sunday's matchup with the Magic due to the lingering ankle issue, but he'll return to the court Monday versus Boston. Prior to the absence, the 23-year-old averaged 26.2 points, 6.0 rebounds, 6.4 assists, 1.4 steals and 1.2 blocks over his past five games.
Mar 21, 2022
Questionable for Monday's contest
Gilgeous-Alexander (ankle) is questionable for Monday's contest against the Celtics.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander had been playing through the ankle issue, but he was sidelined for the first half of the Thunders' back-to-back set Sunday. If he's sidelined for a second consecutive contest, Tre Mann, Vit Krejci and Theo Maledon would all candidates for increased roles once again.
Mar 20, 2022
Ruled out Sunday
Gilgeous-Alexander (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's contest against the Magic, Rylan Stiles of BricktownBuckets.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander has played through the ankle issue over the past two games, but he'll get a chance to rest it during the first half of the Thunders' back-to-back set. His status for Monday's matchup against the Celtics remains unclear. In his absence, Tre Mann, Vit Krejci and Theo Maledon are all candidates for increased roles.
Mar 19, 2022
Questionable Sunday
Gilgeous-Alexander (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Magic.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander has played through the ankle issue over the last two games, so it's unlikely he misses Sunday's contest unless something unexpected happens prior to tip-off. He's averaged 30.8 points, 6.8 rebounds, 6.0 assists, 1.5 steals and 1.5 blocks in 35.5 minutes per game in his last two appearances.
Mar 18, 2022
Available Friday
Gilgeous-Alexander (ankle) is available for Friday's game against Miami, Joe Mussatto of The Oklahoman reports.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander is good to go for Friday's tilt with the Heat despite coming into Friday with a sore right ankle. He's averaging 24.3 points, 5.9 assists, 5.0 rebounds and 1.3 steals across 34.7 minutes per game this season.
Mar 17, 2022
Questionable at Miami
Gilgeous-Alexander (ankle) is questionable for Friday's game against the Heat.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander played through the issue Wednesday against the Spurs to post 34 points, eight assists, six rebounds, three steals and one block in 35 minutes. If he sits out, more minutes will be in store for Tre Mann, Theo Maledon and Lindy Waters.
Mar 16, 2022
Will play Wednesday
Gilgeous-Alexander (ankle) is available for Wednesday's game against the Spurs, Rylan Stiles of BricktownBuckets.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander tweaked his right ankle during his 32-point performance Monday against Charlotte, but it fortunately won't cause him to miss any time. The point guard has eclipsed the 30-point mark in eight of his last ten games coming out of the All-Star break, so he should see another heavy workload on Wednesday as long as the ankle holds up.
Mar 15, 2022
Dealing with ankle soreness
Gilgeous-Alexander is questionable for Wednesday's contest against the Spurs due to right ankle soreness.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander totaled 32 points (12-20 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 5-5 FT), eight rebounds and five assists in 36 minutes during Monday's loss to the Hornets, but he presumably tweaked his ankle as well. If the point guard is unable to suit up Wednesday, Tre Mann, Theo Maledon, Vit Krejci and Lindy Waters would all be candidates for increased roles.
Mar 14, 2022
Bounces back despite loss
Gilgeous-Alexander had 31 points (9-20 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 12-12 FT), six rebounds, seven assists, three blocks and two steals in 38 minutes during Sunday's 125-118 loss to the Grizzlies.
ANALYSIS
The Thunder might have lost, but Gilgeous-Alexander bounced back from his awful eight-point showing against the Timberwolves on Saturday. He's been putting up video-game numbers since returning to action a few weeks ago, though, and he has scored at least 29 points in eight of his nine appearances since returning.
Mar 9, 2022
Shines despite defeat
Gilgeous-Alexander contributed 33 points (11-18 FG, 3-3 3Pt, 8-12 FT), eight rebounds, 14 assists, one block and three steals across 35 minutes during Tuesday's 142-115 loss to the Bucks.
ANALYSIS
The Thunder were always expected to lose -- and look outmatched -- against the Bucks, but Gilgeous-Alexander still found a way to deliver an excellent stat line in this one. This was the third game in which he scored exactly 33 points, and he has cleared the 30-point plateau in six of his seven games since returning from a right ankle sprain that kept him 10 games on the sidelines from late January to mid-February.
Mar 7, 2022
Stellar line in loss
Gilgeous-Alexander finished with 33 points (11-23 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 11-12 FT), seven rebounds, eight assists, one block and four steals in 38 minutes during Sunday's 116-103 loss to the Jazz.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander is putting up voluminous numbers but isn't getting much help from his supporting cast. Without Josh Giddey (hip) and Luguentz Dort (shoulder) in the lineup, Gilgeous-Alexander is carrying a heavy load in the backcourt, but it's good news for fantasy managers who depend on the elite guard's production.
Mar 3, 2022
Produces another strong stat line
Gilgeous-Alexander supplied 29 points (10-23 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 6-8 FT), seven rebounds, five assists, one block and two steals in 37 minutes during Wednesday's 119-107 victory over the Nuggets.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander narrowly missed extending his streak of 30-plus point games to four, but he still led Oklahoma City in scoring in the upset win. The point guard also tied for the team lead with five assists and secured seven boards, though his stat line was slightly marred by his seven turnovers. Miscues aside, this was another strong game for Gilgeous-Alexander, who is averaging 33.5 points over his past four contests.
Mar 1, 2022
Huge effort not enough
Gilgeous-Alexander closed Monday's 131-110 loss to the Kings with 37 points (12-16 FG, 3-3 3Pt, 10-14 FT), seven rebounds, 10 assists and three steals in 33 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander's effort kept the Thunder in the game for much of the first three quarters, but he got very little help from his teammates -- no other OKC scorer notched more than 12 points -- and Sacramento eventually pulled away. Despite the disappointing team outcome, fantasy managers who roster the point guard got a huge boost from him on the first day of the week, as Gilgeous-Alexander was extremely efficient from the field, kicked in a trio of steals and finished three boards shy of a triple-double. He has been on a scoring binge since returning from a 10-game injury absence, averaging 35.0 points across three contests.
Feb 25, 2022
Cleared for back-to-back game
Thunder head coach Mark Daigneault said after Thursday's 124-104 loss to the Suns that Gilgeous-Alexander (ankle) will be available for the second half of the back-to-back set Friday in Indiana, Nick Crain of SI.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Prior to the All-Star break, Gilgeous-Alexander had missed 10 consecutive games with a right ankle sprain. Though the break provided Gilgeous-Alexander with sufficient time to recover from the injury, he wasn't an obvious lock to play Friday after he logged 35 minutes in his return to the lineup Thursday, finishing with a game-high 32 points to go with five assists and two rebounds. Daigneault erased any doubt about Gilgeous-Alexander's availability for Friday, so fantasy managers that activated him for the half-week may end up getting one more game out of the 23-year-old than they might have initially anticipated.
Feb 24, 2022
Pours in game-high 32 points
Gilgeous-Alexander finished Thursday's 124-104 loss to the Suns with 32 points (13-22 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 5-6 FT), two rebounds and five assists over 35 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander returned to action Thursday, picking up right where he left off, coming through with a game-high 32 points. Outside of the scoring, he didn't offer much but managers will simply be thrilled that he was back on the court. Of course, any injury could spell another stint on the sideline but until then, managers should fire up Gilgeous-Alexander across all formats with confidence.
Feb 23, 2022
Available Thursday
Gilgeous-Alexander (ankle) is available for Thursday's game against the Suns, Steve McGehee of News 9 Oklahoma City reports.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander has been sidelined since late January due to a right ankle sprain, but he's been cleared to return to game action after resting during the All-Star break. He could face a minutes restriction against Phoenix following his lengthy absence.
Jan 29, 2022
Out through All-Star break
Gilgeous-Alexander sustained a right ankle sprain Friday against the Pacers and will be re-evaluated after the All-Star break, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander was unable to return to Friday's game after going to the locker room in the third quarter, and he'll be forced to miss several weeks with his ankle injury. Tre Mann, Josh Giddey and Theo Maledon are in line for increased roles until Gilgeous-Alexander is cleared to return.
Jan 28, 2022
Won't return Friday
Gilgeous-Alexander won't return to Friday's game against the Pacers due to a right ankle sprain, Joe Mussatto of The Oklahoman reports.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander went to the locker room after rolling his ankle in the third quarter, and he'll be unable to return to close out the game. He recorded 10 points (4-10 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-6 FT), three assists, two rebounds, two steals and a block in 17 minutes prior to his departure. Whether the 23-year-old is available Monday against the Trail Blazers remains to be seen.
Jan 23, 2022
Flirts with double-double in loss
Gilgeous-Alexander chipped in 29 points (12-23 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 2-5 FT), nine rebounds, six assists, one block and three steals in 39 minutes during Saturday's 94-87 loss to the Cavaliers.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander continues to carry the Thunder on his shoulders. He's one of the most productive fantasy point guards despite his team's struggles. The Kentucky product heaves up a staggering average of 18.6 shot attempts per game, which hasn't done much to help his 42.2-percent shooting percentage. If his conversion rate remains static, it would be the worst result of his four-year career.
Jan 19, 2022
Dismal shooting in Wednesday's loss
Gilgeous-Alexander recorded 13 points (5-21 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), three rebounds, seven assists and two steals in 30 minutes during Wednesday's 118-96 loss to the Spurs.
ANALYSIS
Coming off a 34-point performance against the Mavericks on Monday, Gilgeous-Alexander struggled mightily from the field shooting a mere 23.8 percent overall, but the Kentucky product still manage to record double digits offensively. It was also the guard's fourth time across his past seven outings in which he has failed to convert a three-point attempt. Gilgeous-Alexander will look to bounce back versus the Hornets, who are currently second worst in the league in opponent's points per game, on Friday.
Jan 18, 2022
Stellar with 34 points
Gilgeous-Alexander finished with 34 points (11-18 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 11-12 FT), six rebounds, five assists and two steals in 37 minutes during Monday's 104-102 loss to the Mavericks.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander's line is even more impressive when considering how sticky Luka Doncic was on defense. The Thunder's top player was smothered by Doncic all night, but he somehow got many shots to fall and drew enough fouls to pad his totals at the free-throw line. It's been a tough road for Oklahoma City recently, but they'd be completely lost without the Kentucky product's January production. Over seven games in January, he's averaging 22.7 points, 6.3 assists, 4.7 rebounds and 1.1 steals per game.
Jan 16, 2022
Carries OKC in defeat
Gilgeous-Alexander closed with 21 points (7-19 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 7-9 FT), four rebounds, seven assists, two blocks and one steal across 34 minutes during Saturday's 107-102 loss to Cleveland.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander reached the 20-point mark for the third straight contest and these games have been a bounce-back performance compared to the way he started the year. The electric point guard has averaged 20.8 points, 6.5 assists and 4.5 assists per game across six appearances this month.
Jan 14, 2022
Nearly notches triple-double in win
Gilgeous-Alexander finished with 33 points (11-18 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 9-10 FT), 10 rebounds, nine assists, two blocks and one steal over 35 minutes during Thursday's 130-109 victory over the Nets.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander did his best James Harden impression in the victory, racking up big stats across the box score and finishing one assist shy of a triple-double. He got to the line 10 times (making nine) and shot an efficient 11-for-18 from the field. The star point guard also shone defensively, swatting a pair of shots and registering one steal. Gilgeous-Alexander had a rough offensive start to 2022, but he looks to be back in first gear, scoring a combined 65 points over his past two games.
Jan 11, 2022
Bounces back Tuesday
Gilgeous-Alexander supplied 32 points (13-22 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 5-6 FT), three rebounds and eight assists in 35 minutes during Tuesday's 122-118 loss to the Wizards.
ANALYSIS
After three down games where he totaled 39 points, Gilgeous-Alexander bounced back. His performances have ebbed and flowed throughout the season as he's adjusted to playing alongside another playmaker in Josh Giddey. Still, SGA is capable of big performances. Tuesday's effort was his seventh 30-point game and eighth game with at least eight assists on the season.

Inefficient in loss
Gilgeous-Alexander closed Friday's 135-105 loss to the Timberwolves with 12 points (4-11 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 4-5 FT), three rebounds, six assists, one block and two steals across 28 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander struggled from three-point range and recorded his lowest scoring output since Dec. 10. On the season, the star point guard is averaging 22.3 points, 5.2 assists, 4.6 rebounds and 1.0 steals in 35.0 minutes per game. He will look to bounce back to that type of production against the Nuggets on Sunday.
Jan 6, 2022
Lacks efficiency in return
Gilgeous-Alexander posted 19 points (5-15 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 7-7 FT), two rebounds and five assists across 37 minutes during Wednesday's 98-90 loss to Minnesota.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander missed just one game after entering the league's health and safety protocols and while his stat line wasn't bad in this game, the efficiency levels just weren't there. He continues to produce, though, and he has scored at least 18 points in each of his last 10 appearances. He is averaging 25.4 points per game while shooting 42.6 percent from the field and a meager 25.4 percent from deep in that span.
Jan 3, 2022
Clears COVID-19 protocols
Gilgeous-Alexander cleared the league's health and safety protocols Monday, Rylan Stiles of BricktownBuckets.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Coach Mike Wilks said Gilgeous-Alexander practiced Monday after clearing protocols. The star point guard was only sidelined for two days, so he will likely be available for Wednesday's contest against the Timberwolves. On the season, the 23-year-old is averaging 22.7 points, 5.2 assists and 4.8 rebounds across 35.2 minutes per game.
Jan 1, 2022
Enters protocols
Gilgeous-Alexander entered health and safety protocols Saturday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander has played excellently lately, so this is tough timing. On the other hand, Josh Giddey exited protocols the same day, so the Thunder will at least have one of their primary playmakers available for the next string of games.
Dec 31, 2021
Guides Thunder to victory Friday
Gilgeous-Alexander logged 23 points (9-24 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four rebounds, four assists, two steals and two blocks in 35 minutes during Friday's 95-80 victory over the Knicks.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander was back on the court after being a late scratch Wednesday, turning in another well-rounded performance. The lack of efficiency continues to be an issue, although it is to be expected given the load he typically shoulders on a nightly basis. He is likely to be rested at any sign of an injury but beyond that, he should remain a consistent source of across-the-board production the rest of the way.
Dec 31, 2021
Available Friday
Gilgeous-Alexander (ankle) is available for Friday's contest against the Knicks, Rylan Stiles of BricktownBuckets.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander returns after a one-game absence. He's scored at least 23 points in each of his past five appearances, with averages of 28.6 points, 6.6 assists, 6.0 rebounds, 1.0 steals and 1.0 blocks in 36.6 minutes.
Dec 30, 2021
Questionable Friday
Gilgeous-Alexander (ankle) is questionable for Friday's game against the Knicks.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander missed Wednesday's game against the Suns due to right ankle soreness but has a chance to return to the court Friday. If he remains out, Theo Maledon and Ty Jerome will likely see increased usage again.
Dec 29, 2021
Out Wednesday
Gilgeous-Alexander won't play in Wednesday's game against Phoenix due to right ankle soreness, Rylan Stiles of BricktownBuckets.com reports.
ANALYSIS
This will be Gilgeous-Alexander's first missed contest since Dec. 2 against Memphis, as the guard has been a last-minute scratch for Wednesday's matchup with apparent ankle soreness. Nevertheless, Theo Maleson and Ty Jerome are candidates to see increased run versus the Suns. Gilgeous-Alexander will likely be deemed day-to-day leading up to the team's next game against New York on Friday.
Dec 29, 2021
Pours in 33 points in loss
Gilgeous-Alexander racked up 33 points (9-24 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 14-17 FT), five rebounds and five assists across 35 minutes during Tuesday's 117-111 loss to the Kings.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander somehow managed 33 points despite a tepid night of shooting, but his 17 attempts at the charity stripe proved to be the difference-maker for his stat line. Over the past five games, the standout guard has averaged 28.6 points, 6.6 assists and 6.0 rebounds, but he's only averaged 14.3 percent from beyond the arc during this span.
Dec 24, 2021
Paces team with 29 points
Gilgeous-Alexander registered 29 points (10-20 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 7-7 FT), five rebounds, seven assists and one block across 39 minutes during Thursday's 113-101 loss to the Suns.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander's 29 points marked his third consecutive game with 20-plus points. The Thunder have successfully evaded COVID-19 protocols and were on a three-game win streak heading into Thursday's game. Their recent success is mainly due to their standout point guard, who averaged 26.3 points, 7.7 assists, 7.0 rebounds and 1.3 steals during the three-game run.
Dec 23, 2021
Posts triple-double in win
Gilgeous-Alexander closed with 27 points (10-24 FG, 0-7 3Pt, 7-7 FT), 11 rebounds, 12 assists, one block and one steal across 37 minutes during Wednesday's 108-94 win over Denver.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander hadn't notched double-digit rebounds in any game coming into Wednesday, and he had collected more than nine assists just once. The point guard reached double figures in both categories against Denver to finish with his second career triple-double. Gilgeous-Alexander is averaging 24.7 points, 6.7 dimes and 4.1 boards over his past 10 contests.
Dec 15, 2021
Goes for 33, Thunder lose at buzzer
Gilgeous-Alexander totaled 33 points (10-25 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 9-9 FT), five rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal in 37 minutes during Wednesday's 113-110 loss to New Orleans.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander drilled the game-tying three-pointer with under three seconds to play but had to watch helplessly as Devonte' Graham's 60-foot heave fell through the rim just as time expired. Nevertheless, it was a strong overall showing for the Kentucky product, who had scored just 29 combined points (11-27 FG) over his last two games. Gilgeous-Alexander has now reached 30 points four times in 23 appearances -- something he did 10 times in 35 games a year ago.
Dec 13, 2021
Leading scorer in loss
Gilgeous-Alexander closed with 18 points (6-15 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 5-6 FT), four rebounds, five assists and two blocks over 33 minutes during Sunday's 103-84 loss to the Mavericks.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander shot just 20 percent from beyond the arc in Sunday's contest, but he had plenty of shot volume and led the Thunder on the scoreboard. He's played at least 30 minutes in each of his four appearances since returning from a one-game absence, and he's averaged 21.3 points and 7.8 assists in 34.3 minutes per contest during that time.
Dec 7, 2021
Dominates Detroit
Gilgeous-Alexander contributed 30 points (9-20 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 12-15 FT), two rebounds, 13 assists and two blocks in 37 minutes during Monday's 114-103 victory over the Pistons.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander missed a game with a concussion, but returned to attacked at will. In his previous two games he's taken an astonishing 31 free throws, buoying 30 point efforts. A maestro performance in which he racked up 13 assists, Monday marked his first double-double of the season. It's worth noting that he's shot 1-of-10 from three over these booms, and is shooting a lowly 29.5 percent from deep on the season.
Dec 6, 2021
Now listed available to play Monday
Gilgeous-Alexander (concussion) is listed as available to play in Monday's game against the Pistons.
ANALYSIS
As of Sunday night, Gilgeous-Alexander was listed as out as he remained in the league's concussion protocols, but he's apparently passed all requisite tests and will be able to return to action Monday. The dynamic guard will end up missing only one contest (Thursday at Memphis) as the Thunder embark on a four-game Week 8. Gilgeous-Alexander posted a season-high 39 points (12-26 FG, 14-16 FT) in his last outing against Houston on Wednesday.
Dec 5, 2021
Remains in concussion protocols
Gilgeous-Alexander (concussion) will not be available for Monday's game against Detroit.
ANALYSIS
There was some hope that Gilgeous-Alexander would be able to play after he went through some non-contact drills at Sunday's practice, but he'll ultimately miss at least one more contest while remaining in the league's protocols. The Thunder are off Tuesday, but Gilgeous-Alexander should have a good chance to return for Wednesday's game at Toronto -- one of four contests on the Thunder's Week 8 schedule.
Dec 5, 2021
Gets in non-contact work
Thunder head coach Mark Daigneault said that Gilgeous-Alexander (concussion) took part in a non-contact practice Sunday, Nick Crain of SI.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Though Gilgeous-Alexander's presence on the court is a positive sign, he'll still need to receive clearance for contact in order to suit up for the Thunder's next game Monday in Detroit. It's unclear if Gilgeous-Alexander will be able to clear the concussion protocol ahead of Monday's 7 p.m. ET tipoff, leaving his status uncertain heading into Oklahoma City's four-game week. On a positive note for the Thunder, Josh Giddey (illness) was able to practice Sunday in some capacity, so he could be ready to step in at point guard Monday if Gilgeous-Alexander is sidelined for a second straight contest.
Dec 2, 2021
In concussion protocol
Gilgeous-Alexander has been placed in concussion protocol and will miss at least Thursday's game against the Grizzlies, Joe Mussatto of The Oklahoman reports.
ANALYSIS
The up-and-coming guard is a late addition to Oklahoma City's injury report, and the team will be short on playmakers since Josh Giddey (illness) is also sidelined. For as long as Gilgeous-Alexander is sidelined, more minutes will be available for the likes of Ty Jerome, Tre Mann and Aaron Wiggins.
Dec 1, 2021
Explodes for game-high 39 points
Gilgeous-Alexander chipped in 39 points (12-26 FG, 1-8 3Pt, 14-16 FT), four rebounds, two assists and one block across 38 minutes during Wednesday's 114-110 loss to Houston.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander put the Thunder on his back but was unable to get them across the line. The budding young superstar attempted double the shot attempts of anyone else on his team, highlighting just where he stands in terms of the offensive pecking order. The green light does often result in a drop in efficiency as well as his defensive production. With that being said, he continues to do more than enough to get by as a solid mid-round fantasy option.
Nov 29, 2021
Tallies 22 points Monday
Gilgeous-Alexander tallied 22 points (9-20 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-6 FT), four assists, three rebounds, two steals and two blocks during Monday's loss to Houston.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander led the Thunder by a hefty margin in scoring among starters, as the entire team collectedly struggled from the field shooting just 35.6 precent. However, Gilgeous-Alexander managed to convert 45.0 precent overall from the floor en route to his second straight game reaching the 15-point mark. However, his two of six outing at the charity stripe was his worst performance by far of the season. Gilgeous-Alexander currently leads the Thunder in points and steals and is second in assists behind Josh Giddey.
Nov 27, 2021
Sniffs triple-double in loss
Gilgeous-Alexander had 15 points (7-16 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), eight rebounds, nine assists, one block and one steal across 34 minutes during Friday's 101-99 loss to the Wizards.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander didn't have his best shooting performance but still provided a strong performance across the board, as he ended just one assist and two rebounds away from putting up what would've been his first triple-double of the campaign. The star guard hasn't cleared the 15-point mark in four of his last five games, but he remains a strong fantasy asset due to his ability to stuff the stat sheet on a nightly basis.
Nov 26, 2021
Good to go Friday
Gilgeous-Alexander (ankle) will play Friday against the Wizards, Joe Mussatto of The Oklahoman reports.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander was initially expected to be sidelined, but he was upgraded to questionable in the morning and has now been cleared to play. He's been out the past two games due to a sprained right ankle and had been struggling before that, failing to post more than 17 points in four straight contests.
Nov 26, 2021
Upgraded to questionable
Gilgeous-Alexander (ankle) has been upgraded to questionable for Friday's game against the Wizards.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander was previously listed as out but is apparently feeling better than expected. He's been out the past two games due to a sprained right ankle and had been struggling before that, failing to post more than 17 points in four straight contests.
Nov 25, 2021
Out vs. Wizards
Gilgeous-Alexander (ankle) is out against the Wizards on Friday.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander will have sat out three games because of a sprained right ankle. Concerning the guard's previous two absences, they had Aaron Wiggins or Derrick Favors start. Luguentz Dort logged a team-best average of 21.0 points across those games.
Nov 23, 2021
Out Wednesday
Gilgeous-Alexander (ankle) is out Wednesday against the Jazz.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander will miss a second straight game due to a sprained right ankle. In his absence, all three of Darius Bazley, Jeremiah Robinson-Earl and Derrick Favors started Monday.
Nov 22, 2021
Won't play Monday
Gilgeous-Alexander (ankle) will not play Monday against the Hawks, Joe Mussatto of The Oklahoman reports.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander picked up a sprained right ankle against Boston on Saturday, and it'll keep him out of action for at least one game as the Thunder embark on a three-game week. The Kentucky product has disappointed fantasy managers of late, averaging just 14.0 points, 5.0 assists, 4.8 rebounds and 1.5 steals over his last four games. During that span, he's shooting just 27.4 percent from the field.
Nov 21, 2021
Listed questionable Monday
Gilgeous-Alexander is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Hawks due to a sprained right ankle.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander apparently tweaked his ankle during Saturday's loss to Boston, which he finished with just 14 points, three rebounds and three assists in 34 minutes. Injury aside, the dynamic young guard has been disappointing of late, averaging just 14.0 points, 4.8 boards and 5.0 assists while shooting 27.4 percent from the field over his last four contests.
Nov 20, 2021
Struggles from field in loss
Gilgeous-Alexander racked up 17 points (5-20 FG, 2-12 3Pt, 5-7 FT), six rebounds, three assists and one steal across 36 minutes during Friday's 96-89 loss to Milwaukee.
ANALYSIS
Seeing Gilgeous-Alexander as one of the Thunder's leading scorers shouldn't be surprising given how important he is to the team, but his poor shooting performance in this game certainly stood out. He's failed to clear the 20-point mark in three straight games and that can be strictly related to his shooting woes, as he's made just 26.5 percent of his shots in that span.
Nov 16, 2021
Abysmal performance in loss
Gilgeous-Alexander produced 10 points (2-11 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 5-6 FT), five assists, three rebounds and a steal across 35 minutes in Monday's 103-90 loss to the Heat.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander's 10 points on Monday were a season-low for the usually-prolific point guard. His upside is obviously present when you look at his massive shot volume. He averages a whopping 18 shot attempts per game and is converting almost 44 percent of them. He'll hope for a better result Wednesday against the Rockets.
Nov 15, 2021
Another 20-point performance
Gilgeous-Alexander accumulated 23 points (8-14 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT), six rebounds, two assists and one steal in 30 minutes during Sunday's 120-96 loss to the Nets.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander has reached the 20-point mark in three straight games and in five of his last six appearances. He hasn't provided a lot of value in other categories to consider him a potential double-double threat on a nightly basis, but considering he's still averaging a career-best 5.2 boards per game, the potential is clearly there. His role as the Thunder's go-to player on offense is set in stone.
Nov 13, 2021
Struggles with shot in win
Gilgeous-Alexander provided 22 points (9-24 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, three assists and two steals over 35 minutes during Friday's 105-103 win over the Kings.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander has scored at least 20 points in four of his last five games, but his shooting numbers in that five-game span have not been eye-popping by any means -- he's making just 41.4 percent of his shots and 36.4 percent of his three-point attempts. He has scored at least 15 points in all but two games this season, though, and he has also drained at least one trey in every game, so he still provides value even if he hasn't been the most efficient scorer.
Nov 11, 2021
Well-rounded line in win
Gilgeous-Alexander posted 24 points (7-19 FG, 8-11 FT, 2-7 3Pt), seven rebounds, five assists, two blocks and one steal across 36 minutes Wednesday in the Thunder's 108-100 win over the Pelicans.
ANALYSIS
Aside from some erratic shooting, Gilgeous-Alexander came away with another well-rounded box-score line, ticking off each of the six main counting-stats categories for the fourth game in a row. The fourth-year guard is converting at a 43.6 percent clip from the field this season, but his career 47.8-percent rate suggests he still has some room for his scoring average (22.6 points per game) to improve from here.
Nov 7, 2021
Near-triple-double in win
Gilgeous-Alexander finished Sunday's win over the Spurs with 14 points (5-16 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 3-3 FT), nine assists, eight rebounds, one steal and one block.
ANALYSIS
It was a strong all-around effort for the star guard, who notched a new season high in assists on a night when both teams struggled to score. Gilgeous-Alexander's 14 points led all Thunder starters, but it was his second-lowest scoring output of the young season. Entering Sunday, Gilgeous-Alexander was coming off of back-to-back 28-point performances against the Clippers and Lakers, respectively.
Nov 5, 2021
Hits dagger from logo in win
Gilgeous-Alexander tallied 28 points (9-17 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 6-6 FT), six assists, three rebounds, one steal and one blocked shot over 39 minutes in Thursday's 107-104 win over the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander was a thorn in the side of the Lakers throughout the contest, and he was particularly potent in the fourth quarter, when he scored 11 of his 28 points. His final hoop was particularly impressive, as he nailed a three-pointer from the logo near half court with under two minutes to play to extend the Thunder's lead to six points. Gilgeous-Alexander has registered exactly 28 points in two straight games and is averaging 23.5 points, 4.9 rebounds and 3.9 assists on the campaign.
Nov 2, 2021
Shines against former club
Gilgeous-Alexander posted 28 points (11-23 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT), seven rebounds, two assists, two steals and a blocked shot over 40 minutes in Monday's loss to the Clippers.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander led the Thunder in scoring and tied for the team lead in rebounds in the contest while logging a team-high 40 minutes. He has tallied between 27 and 30 points in four of his seven contests this season as the focal point of the rebuilding Thunder's offense. Gilgeous-Alexander is scoring 22.9 points per game thus far in the campaign, though his 3.6 assists per contest rank considerably below the career-best 5.9 mark he posted last season.
Oct 31, 2021
Scores 15 points in loss
Gilgeous-Alexander posted 15 points (6-14 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five rebounds, two assists and a steal across 29 minutes in Saturday's loss against Golden State.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander was on a run of three straight contests with at least 27 points, but that sizzling stretch came to an end in this one. Even though this wasn't his best performance, Gilgeous-Alexander is enjoying a strong start to the campaign with averages of 22.0 points, 4.8 rebounds and 3.8 assists per game, though those numbers are quite in line with what he accomplished last season as well.
Oct 28, 2021
Scores team-high 27 points
Gilgeous-Alexander recorded 27 points (7-19 FG, 5-11 3Pt, 8-10 FT), nine rebounds and five assists across 38 minutes in Wednesday's win over the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander led the Thunder in scoring in their first win of the season, but that shouldn't be much of a surprise considering he's now scored 25-plus points in three straight contests. The former Kentucky standout is averaging 23.4 points per tilt while shooting 44.9 percent from the field through the first five games of the campaign.
Oct 27, 2021
Carries offense in loss
Gilgeous-Alexander scored 30 points (11-19 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 4-5 FT), while tacking on four assists, a rebound and a steal over 36 minutes in Tuesday's 106-98 loss to the Warriors.
ANALYSIS
No teammate scored more than 12 points. After shooting under 50 percent, including 3-for-19 from beyond the arc, in three prior contests, shareholders can be encouraged by the efficient outing. Gilgeous-Alexander will typically see heavy usage for the Thunder, but that hasn't translated into much assist production thus far. Nonetheless, the 23-year-old possesses a solid fantasy floor. The Thunder complete a back-to-back Wednesday against the Lakers.
Oct 25, 2021
Scores game-high 29 points in loss
Gilgeous-Alexander produced 29 points (9-19 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 10-12 FT), eight assists, six rebounds, one steal and one block in 39 minutes during Sunday's 115-103 loss to the 76ers.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander had easily his most productive game of the season despite the team suffering their third consecutive loss. Those who invested in him on draft day have to be breathing a little easier after what had been a slow start across the first two games. The Thunder are likely to be on the wrong end of a few sizeable scores this season, something that could limit the playing time for Gilgeous-Alexander.
Oct 21, 2021
Drops team-high 18 points in loss
Gilgeous-Alexander tallied 18 points (7-17 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 3-5 FT), four rebounds and two assists in 33 minutes during Wednesday's 107-86 loss to Utah.
ANALYSIS
Coming off a lengthy absence to close last season, Gilgeous-Alexander played a team-high 33 minutes against the Jazz. In that time, he managed to score 18 points, but unfortunately, that is really where the positives end. There are seemingly going to be plenty of nights like this for the Thunder as they continue to look to the future. When healthy, he should be able to put up some gaudy numbers but the risk of missed games seems like a constant bother.
Oct 14, 2021
Out vs. Nuggets
Gilgeous-Alexander (rest) will not play Thursday against the Nuggets.
ANALYSIS
The Thunder will hold several regulars out of action Thursday as they finish up the preseason slate. Luguentz Dort, Darius Bazley and Derrick Favors will also rest, though rookie Josh Giddey looks to be available.
Oct 13, 2021
Plays 27 minutes in win
Gilgeous-Alexander finished Wednesday's preseason game against Denver with nine points (3-8 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 2-4 FT), four assists, three rebounds and two blocks.
ANALYSIS
After sitting out the exhibition opener, the rangy guard made his second straight appearance, though he wasn't overly aggressive in his 27 minutes of action. Injuries cut Gilgeous-Alexander's 2020-21 season short, but he enters 2021-22 with renewed optimism as the unquestioned No. 1 option for the rebuilding Thunder. Concerns about the Thunder's desire to win games are valid, but if Gilgeous-Alexander can stay healthy and play 70-plus games, he's well-positioned for a monster fantasy season.
Sep 25, 2021
Healthy for camp
Gilgeous-Alexander (foot) has not limitations heading into training camp, Rylan Stiles of Fansided reports.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander missed the final 29 games of last season due to a torn plantar fascia. The injury also caused the Canadian to miss the Summer Olympics in Tokyo, but he didn't need surgery and is now fully recovered. Aside from the injury, he's coming off an excellent 2020-21 campaign with the Thunder, where he ranked 32nd in per-game fantasy production behind 23.7 points, 5.9 assists and 4.7 rebounds. If Gilgeous-Alexander can stay healthy, make marginal developments in his game and the team doesn't sit him down the stretch to tank, he could be worth a second-round selection. However, fantasy managers have a right to be concerned about SGA missing time at the tail end of the season with phantom injuries.
Aug 3, 2021
Agrees to maximum extension
Gilgeous-Alexander has agreed to terms on a five-year, $172 million contract extension with the Thunder, according to Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN.
ANALYSIS
The star point guard has agreed to stay with the Thunder despite the rumors that indicated he wasn't happy with the direction of the franchise, and he is expected to pen the deal on paper once it can be officially announced. The $172 million deal puts a lot of pressure on a player with just three years of experience in The Association, but Gilgeous-Alexander has been improving every year on a frenetic pace and is coming off a career-best season in 2020-21.Though he played in only 35 games, he averaged career-high marks in points (23.7), assists (5.9) and blocks (0.7) per contest.
May 17, 2021
Status for Olympics uncertain
Gilgeous-Alexander (foot) said Monday that he's progressing his recovery from plantar fasciitis, but he was unwilling to commit to playing for the Canadian national team this summer in preparation for the Olympics in Tokyo, Joe Mussatto of The Oklahoman reports.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander's foot issue first cropped up shortly after the All-Star break, and though the Thunder initially anticipated that he would be ready to return before the end of the regular season, he ultimately sat out the final 29 games with the injury. He's apparently still not 100 percent nearly two months after being diagnosed with the injury, but it's at least a positive sign that he hasn't plateaued in the recovery process. Even if Gilgeous-Alexander doesn't feel comfortable enough with his health to take part in international competition this summer, he should be back to full strength for the start of training camp in the fall.
May 4, 2021
Likely done for season
Thunder head coach Mark Daigneault said prior to Tuesday's 103-99 loss to the Kings that Gilgeous-Alexander (foot) is still recovering from a "significant tear" in his plantar fascia, Joe Mussatto of The Oklahoman reports. "It's not something that you should really mess around with," Daigneault said. "If we got aggressive with him, it could compromise him long term, which makes no sense for us for a player that is as important to our franchise as he is."
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander will almost certainly miss Oklahoma City's final six games of the season, given the tenor of Daigneault's comments about the injury along with the fact that the 21-45 Thunder are already eliminated from postseason contention. Daigneault's update comes a little more than two weeks after he said Gilgeous-Alexander wasn't progressing as quickly as hoped in his recovery from the right foot injury, which he developed shortly after the All-Star break. With Gilgeous-Alexander on the shelf for good, Theo Maledon and Ty Jerome should handle point guard duties for the Thunder for the remainder of the season, just as they have been for the past five-plus weeks. Meanwhile, Gilgeous-Alexander will turn his focus toward getting healthy for the summer, when he's expected to train with the Canadian national team as it attempts to qualify for the Olympic Games in Tokyo, which are set to begin in late July.
Apr 16, 2021
Out at least two more weeks
Gilgeous-Alexander (foot) is out for at least two more weeks, Rylan Stiles of BricktownBuckets.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander, who has been out since March 24 with plantar fasciitis, won't be able to return until May 1 at the earliest, and there's certainly a chance he'll be out the remainder of the season. Theo Maledon and Ty Jerome should continue seeing expanded roles.
Apr 15, 2021
Won't play Friday
Gilgeous-Alexander (foot) is listed as out for Friday's game against Detroit.
ANALYSIS
It's still unclear whether Gilgeous-Alexander could potentially return this season. The team is not battling for the playoffs, so it wouldn't be a shock to see the team continue to sit the starting guard.

To be re-evaluated mid-April
Gilgeous-Alexander (foot) will be re-evaluated in mid-April, Rylan Stiles of BricktownBuckets.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Plantar fasciitis can be a tough injury to shake, and Gilegeous-Alexander could end up missing nearly a month due to the injury. As he remains out, Theo Maledon, Ty Jerome and Svi Mykhailiuk should continue seeing extra run.
Mar 24, 2021
Likely to miss several games
Coach Mark Daigneault said Wednesday that Gilgeous-Alexander (foot) will likely miss a "significant amount of time" as he battles plantar fasciitis, Joe Mussatto of The Oklahoman reports.
ANALYSIS
The Thunder haven't released a firm timetable, but plantar fasciitis is well-known as a difficult injury, so it wouldn't be a surprise if Gilgeous-Alexander ultimately misses a decent chunk of time -- particularly as Oklahoma City moves through a rebuilding season. For now, it's safe to rule Gilgeous-Alexander out for at least the rest of the week, but fantasy managers should be prepared for an absence that could span several weeks. In the meantime, expect Theo Maledon and Ty Jerome to continue picking up increased minutes in the backcourt, while recent addition Svi Mykhailiuk could also shoulder a heavier workload.
Mar 24, 2021
Out with plantar fasciitis
Gilgeous-Alexander is out for Wednesday's game against the Grizzlies due to right foot plantar fasciitis.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander played 34 minutes Monday against the Timberwolves, but he emerged with plantar fasciitis. With him sidelined, Theo Maledon and Ty Jerome should see expanded roles. It wouldn't be surprising if Gilgeous-Alexander remained out for multiple games, as plantar fasciitis can be a tough injury to shake.
Mar 22, 2021
Returns with 31 points in win
Gilgeous-Alexander put up 31 points (11-23 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 5-6 FT), four assists, three rebounds and two steals in Monday's win over Minnesota.
ANALYSIS
Returning from a one-game absence, Gilgeous-Alexander picked up where he left off with his fourth 30-point effort in his last six games. Gilgeous-Alexander's assist numbers haven't been spectacular of late (nine assists in his last three games), but he made up for it Monday with a pair of blocks and a steal on the defensive end.
Mar 22, 2021
Not on injury report
Gilgeous-Alexander (shoulder) is not on the injury report for Monday's game at Minnesota.
ANALYSIS
A shoulder issue kept Gilgeous-Alexander out of Sunday's win over the Rockets, but it looks like his absence was more precautionary than anything else. He'll return to the starting five Monday night, though Oklahoma City will be without a pair of regular starters in Al Horford (rest) and Luguentz Dort (toe).
Mar 20, 2021
Out vs. Rockets
Gilgeous-Alexander is out for Sunday's game against the Rockets due to right shoulder soreness.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander will miss his second game in five tries Sunday, and it'll be his eighth missed game on the season. In his absence, Theo Maledon and Ty Jerome should see extra minutes at point guard.
Mar 19, 2021
Scores 19 in loss
Gilgeous-Alexander finished with 19 points (8-18 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-3 FT), four assists, and three boards in 31 minutes of a 116-93 loss to the Hawks on Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander managed to flip his rough assist-to-turnover ratio from the previous outing but it wasn't enough to prevent his team from losing its second consecutive game. The third year man's scoring has also dipped as he's made just one three-point shot in that span. He'll face the slumping Rockets on Sunday.
Mar 16, 2021
Commits eight turnovers in loss
Gilgeous-Alexander posted 21 points (10-17 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-1 FT), two steals, one assist, one rebound and one block during Tuesday's loss to the Bulls.
ANALYSIS
Although recording at least 21 points for a fourth straight matchup, the guard's fine offensive play was overshadowed by his poor performance of taking care of the basketball, as Gilgeous-Alexander totaled a career-worst eight turnovers and finished with a dismal minus-36 in point differential. Also surprisingly, this was Gilgeous-Alexander's first outing since Jan. 29 in which he didn't drain a three. The Kentucky product will look to bounce back Thursday against the Hawks.
Mar 14, 2021
Big game in win over Grizz
Gilgeous-Alexander finished with 30 points (8-17 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 10-11 FT), five assists and four rebounds in Sunday's win over the Grizzlies.
ANALYSIS
Making his return from a one-game absence, Gilgeous-Alexander notched his third straight 30-point effort, this time draining four three-pointers and tying his season high with 10 made free throws. The Thunder look to be shifting more aggressively toward a rebuild, but as the franchise cornerstone, Gilgeous-Alexander's role will be safe as the second half unfolds.
Mar 14, 2021
Will play Sunday
Gilgeous-Alexander (quadriceps) will play Sunday against the Knicks, Joe Mussatto of The Oklahoman reports.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander had previously been ruled out for Sunday's contest, but the team announced he would in fact be good to go. In his return from a one-game absence, the 22-year-old will likely have a high usage rate Sunday with the team dealing with various injuries in the backcourt.
Mar 12, 2021
Out with quad bruise
Gilgeous-Alexander won't play Saturday against the Knicks due to a quadriceps contusion, Brandon Rahbar of DailyThunder.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The 22-year-old apparently picked up the injury during Thursday's win over the Mavericks when he had 32 points (11-22 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 9-9 FT), six assists, two rebounds and one steal in 33 minutes. It's unclear if Gilgeous-Alexander will be available for the second half of the back-to-back set Sunday against the Grizzlies. Hamidou Diallo (groin) is also sidelined, so Theo Maledon, Luguentz Dort and Ty Jerome should lead the backcourt Saturday.
Mar 11, 2021
Leads team with 32 points
Gilgeous-Alexander totaled 32 points (11-22 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 9-9 FT), six assists, two rebounds and a steal across 33 minutes in Thursday's 116-108 win over the Mavericks.
ANALYSIS
Behind their marquee player, the Thunder led the majority of the game against a Mavericks team that played without Luka Doncic and Kristaps Porzingis. SGA is picking up right where he left off before the break, following up his 33- point against the Spurs with 32 points on Thursday.
Mar 5, 2021
Goes for 33 points Thursday
Gilgeous-Alexander notched 33 points (11-19 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 9-10 FT), eight assists, three rebounds and a block across 37 minutes in Thursday's win at San Antonio.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander carried the Thunder in their final game of the season before the All-Star break and once again proved what he can do when he's clicking on offense. The third-year guard has scored 20-plus points in six of his last nine contests following a four-game absence in February, and he has surpassed the 30-point mark three times in that stretch as well.
Mar 4, 2021
Scores team-high 15 points
Gilgeous-Alexander registered 15 points (5-15 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 4-6 FT), three rebounds, three assists and a block across 35 minutes in Wednesday's loss at Dallas.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander paced the Thunder offensively in one of the lowest-scoring games of the season, but he struggled badly from the field in this one and only made 33.3 percent of his field-goal attempts. He has now scored 15 or fewer points in two straight games after putting up at least 20 points in four games in a row between Feb. 21 to Feb. 26.
Feb 27, 2021
Scores 24 in win
Gilgeous-Alexander scored 24 points (9-16 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 3-4 FT) to go along with give rebounds, four assists and one steal across 36 minutes in Friday's win over the Hawks.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander continued to score well and is shooting 62.7 percent from the field in his last three games. Particularly, he's shown improvement from beyond the arc, averaging 3.0 threes across his last eight contests after averaging only 1.7 through 20 games to begin the season.
Feb 24, 2021
Drops career-high 42 points
Gilgeous-Alexander recorded 42 points (13-20 FG, 6-11 3Pt, 10-11 FT), eight rebounds, four assists and a block across 38 minutes in Wednesday's win over the Spurs.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander pulverized his previous career-high scoring mark -- 33 points against the Bulls on Jan. 15 -- and looked absolutely dominant on the offensive end of the court, as he ended with more than 40 percent of the Thunder's total scoring output. The combo guard is firmly entrenched as Oklahoma City's main scoring threat and has scored 20 or more points in six of his last seven appearances, surpassing the 25-point mark in each of his last three contests.
Feb 23, 2021
Leads team with 27 points
Gilgeous-Alexander generated 27 points (10-15 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 5-6 FT), five assists, two rebounds, a steal and a blocked shot across 35 minutes in Monday's 108-94 loss to the Heat.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander logged a full night in the back-to-back and followed up his 31-point showing on Sunday with another excellent stat line. Unfortunately, he isn't getting enough support from his supporting cast to win consistently. Despite the team's deficiencies, SGA remains an excellent fantasy target due to his superlative usage and production.
Feb 21, 2021
Drops 31 points Sunday
Gilgeous-Alexander posted 31 points (9-15 FG, 3-3 3Pt, 10-12 FT), nine assists, four rebounds and one steal over 36 minutes in Sunday's 117-101 win over Cleveland.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander has had plenty of playing time since returning from a knee injury, and he nearly recorded his third double-double of the season Sunday. He led the Thunder in scoring and assists during the comfortable victory over the Cavaliers. The 22-year-old is now averaging 22.3 points and 6.7 assists over 35.0 minutes per game across the past three matchups.
Feb 18, 2021
Delivers quality line in return
Gilgeous-Alexander (knee) finished with 22 points (6-14 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 8-8 FT), six assists and three rebounds across 33 minutes Wednesday in the Thunder's 122-113 loss to the Grizzlies.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander had missed the Thunder's previous four games with a sprained left knee, a longer absence than anticipated based on the initial reports about his injury that surfaced last week. He was at least able to return to action Wednesday with no limitations, as he handled a normal minutes load and turned in a rather typical stat line. Fantasy managers that patiently awaited his return can feel comfortable with activating him.
Feb 17, 2021
Returning Wednesday
Gilgeous-Alexander (knee) will play Wednesday against the Grizzlies, Joe Mussatto of The Oklahoman reports.
ANALYSIS
After missing four straight games due to a sprained left knee, Gilgeous-Alexander will return to the lineup Wednesday. His return will likely mean fewer minutes for Kenrich Williams and Justin Jackson.
Feb 15, 2021
Remains out Tuesday
Gilgeous-Alexander (knee) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against Portland, Rylan Stiles of BricktownBuckets.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The 22-year-old will miss a fourth consecutive game as he recovers from a sprained left knee. Coach Mark Daigneault said, "you'll be seeing him soon," so there's a chance Gilgeous-Alexander makes his return Wednesday at Memphis.
Feb 13, 2021
Out again Sunday
Gilgeous-Alexander (knee) is out Sunday against the Bucks.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander will be sidelined for a third straight game Sunday as he recovers from a sprained left knee. Hamidou Diallo will likely start at point guard again, as Theo Maledon (COVID-19 protocols) is out as well.
Feb 11, 2021
Won't return Friday
Gilgeous-Alexander (knee) is listed as out for Friday's game against the Nuggets, Rylan Stiles of BricktownBuckets.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander will be forced to miss a second consecutive game due to a left knee sprain. With George Hill (thumb) and Theo Maledon (COVID-19 protocols) also both still sidelined, Hamidou Diallo and Luguentz Dort once again look primed for large workloads. Both Diallo and Luguentz played 38 or more minutes during Wednesday's overtime loss to the Lakers.
Feb 9, 2021
Out Wednesday
Gilgeous-Alexander (knee) won't play Wednesday against the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander continues to deal with pain stemming from a sprained left knee, and he'll sit out Wednesday after appearing in each of the past two games. In his absence, Hamidou Diallo and Lu Dort should see plenty of action in the backcourt, especially with George Hill (thumb) and Theo Maledon (COVID-19 protocols) still sidelined.
Feb 9, 2021
Sniffs triple-double in loss
Gilgeous-Alexander racked up 29 points (10-25 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 5-5 FT), 10 assists, seven rebounds and a block across 42 minutes in Monday's overtime loss against the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander has scored at least 20 points in all but six games this season, but he has surpassed the 25-point mark five times as well. The speedy point guard also has three double-doubles this season and all have come during the current calendar year.
Feb 7, 2021
Scores 31 points in return
Gilgeous-Alexander tallied 31 points (12-22 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 5-6 FT), nine rebounds, seven assists and a steal across 34 minutes in Saturday's 120-118 win over the Timberwolves.
ANALYSIS
With Al Horford (rest) and Isaiah Roby (foot) out, the Thunder could only field nine players. SGA's return was critical if they hoped to split the tilt with the T-Wolves, and he came through with his best scoring total in three weeks.
Feb 6, 2021
Off injury report
Gilgeous-Alexander (knee) is off the injury report for Saturday's game against the Timberwolves.
ANALYSIS
After missing two games with a sprained left knee, Gilgeous-Alexander will be back in action Saturday. Across his past five appearances, he's averaging 22.2 points, 6.2 assists, 5.6 rebounds and 1.4 blocks in 32.0 minutes.
Feb 4, 2021
Ruled out Friday
Gilgeous-Alexander (knee) will not play Friday against Minnesota, Joe Mussatto of The Oklahoman reports.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander will miss his second game in a row due to a left knee sprain he suffered during a loss Monday. It's possible that the team is playing it safe considering the upcoming back-to-back games Friday and Saturday. With the young guard sidelined, Theo Maledon could be in line for a pretty large workload after he played 36 minutes in Wednesday's win.
Feb 2, 2021
Sitting out with knee sprain
Gilgeous-Alexander won't play Wednesday against the Rockets due to a left knee sprain.
ANALYSIS
The 22-year-old apparently picked up the injury during Monday's loss to Houston, when he had 19 points (8-15 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five assists, two rebounds, two blocked shots and a steal across 29 minutes. The severity of the injury remains unclear, but Gilgeous-Alexander will be sidelined for at least one game. George Hill (thumb) is also unavailable, so Theo Maledon, Hamidou Diallo and Luguentz Dort are slated to handle the backcourt work for the Thunder.
Feb 2, 2021
Modest night in blowout loss
Gilgeous-Alexander tallied 19 points (8-15 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five assists, two rebounds, two blocked shots and a steal across 29 minutes in Monday's 136-106 loss to the Rockets.
ANALYSIS
With the game well in hand for the Rockets, Gilgeous-Alexander logged only 29 minutes due to the first unit exiting the game. The Rockets could have beaten any team in the league Monday with their relentless three-point barrage, but the Thunder's inability to score against one of the league's worst defenses was readily apparent. As the only true elite in the lineup, Gilgeous-Alexander's numbers aren't in danger, but he faces an uphill battle if the rest of the team continues to struggle offensively.
Jan 29, 2021
Efficient shooting performance
Gilgeous-Alexander scored 24 points (7-10 FG, 0-1 3PT, 10-13 FT) to go along with four rebounds, five assists and one block across 31 minutes in Friday's loss to the Nets.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander got to the free-throw line for a season-high 13 attempts, which accounted for nearly half of his points. It was a relative downturn in performance elsewhere in the box score, as it was his lowest assist total in his last six games. That indicates just how well Gilgeous-Alexander has been playing, and he's taken a significant step forward in his scoring, assists and field-goal percentage 18 games into his third campaign.
Jan 27, 2021
Sniffs triple-double in win
Gilgeous-Alexander chipped in with 21 points (6-18 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 7-9 FT), seven rebounds, eight assists, two steals and two blocks across 31 minutes in Wednesday's win over the Suns.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander struggled with his shot all game long and needed 18 field-goal attempts to end as the Thunder's joint-best scorer with 21 points, but he also found a way to fill the stat sheet while also ending just three boards and two dimes away from what would've been his first triple-double of the season. The third-year floor general is averaging career-high marks in both points and assists this season, and he should remain the Thunder's most reliable fantasy performer on a nightly basis.
Jan 26, 2021
Efficient from field, distance in win
Gilgeous-Alexander posted 24 points (8-12 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 5-10 FT), nine rebounds, six assists, two blocks and one steal across 32 minutes Monday in the Thunder's 125-122 win over the Trail Blazers.
ANALYSIS
A poor showing from the free-throw line hurt Gilgeous-Alexander's overall fantasy value, but considering he shot 79.1 percent from the charity stripe heading into Monday, fantasy managers should just write it off as an off night. More importantly, Gilgeous-Alexander continued to fill it up as a scorer while providing elite efficiency from the field and downtown. Over his last eight games, Gilgeous-Alexander is averaging 24.0 points on 58.6 percent shooting from the field and 46.4 percent shooting from downtown.
Jan 24, 2021
Delivers 23 points Sunday
Gilgeous-Alexander registered 23 points (8-16 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 6-6 FT), six rebounds and seven assists across 37 minutes in Sunday's loss against the Clippers.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander delivered a strong performance against his former team, and while his efforts weren't enough to carry the Thunder to what would've been an upsetting win, at least he paced the team in scoring -- something that has been quite common with him so far. Gilgeous-Alexander is the undisputed offensive leader of the Thunder and his numbers back him up, as he has scored at least 20 points in seven of his last nine games.
Jan 23, 2021
Puts up 30 points in loss
Gilgeous-Alexander registered 30 points (11-20 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 6-6 FT), three rebounds, eight assists and two steals across 39 minutes in Friday's loss against the Clippers.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander's role as the Thunder's biggest offensive weapon is not under any question and Friday's game was another prime example of that -- he paced the team in scoring, field-goals made, field-goal attempts, free-throws made and free-throw attempts. He has also scored 20 or more points in six of his last eight appearances, and he has reached the 30-point plateau thrice during that span as well.
Jan 19, 2021
Returns to earth
Gilgeous-Alexander had 14 points (5-11 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 3-6 FT), seven assists and five rebounds over 27 minutes of action Tuesday, as the Thunder fell to the Nuggets 119-101.
ANALYSIS
After posting a monster double-double with 33 points to fuel a comeback win over Chicago on Friday, SGA fell more in line with his season averages Tuesday. Nonetheless, the 22-year-old has at least 14 points in all but one game this season.
Jan 17, 2021
Sunday's game postponed
Gilgeous-Alexander and the Thunder won't play Sunday after the game against the 76ers was postponed, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
The 76ers are going through contact tracing and weren't able to meet the minimum amount of required players Sunday, so the game will be postponed. The Thunder's next scheduled game is Tuesday against the Nuggets.
Jan 15, 2021
Scores season-high 33 points
Gilgeous-Alexander had 33 points (13-19 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five rebounds, 10 assists and a steal across 44 minutes in Friday's overtime win over the Bulls.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander continues to show time and time again why he's the go-to player on the Thunder offense, and he delivered a season-high mark in both points and assists while also logging his second double-double of the season. Gilgeous-Alexander has also scored 20 or more points in five of his last six games, averaging 24.5 points per game in that stretch.
Jan 13, 2021
Paces Thunder in loss
Gilgeous-Alexander registered 17 points (5-12 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 6-7 FT), two rebounds and an assist across 27 minutes in Wednesday's 128-99 loss against the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander carried the Thunder offensively but that wasn't a surprise, as he has been the team's clear go-to guy on that end of the court all season long. This was just the fourth time he failed to score at least 20 points, something that speaks volumes of his upside as the leading scorer in Oklahoma City's offensive scheme.
Jan 12, 2021
Scores team-high 20 points
Gilgeous-Alexander posted 20 points (7-10 FG, 6-9 FT), nine rebounds and two assists across 33 minutes in Tuesday's 112-102 loss against the Spurs.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander continues to work as the Thunder's go-to guy on offense and has reached the 20-point plateau in each of his last four contests. He has shot 59.6 percent from the field and 50 percent from three-point range during that four-game stretch, so he's scoring at a high clip while also displaying an excellent touch from the field. Gilgeous-Alexander will try to extend that sizzling scoring run Wednesday against the Lakers.
Jan 10, 2021
Scores 31 in win
Gilgeous-Alexander finished with 31 points (11-16 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 7-8 FT), seven boards, six assists, two steals and one block in 36 minutes of a 129-116 win against the Nets on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander put up a season high in points while guiding his team to the win. While his recent string of three consecutive games scoring at least 20 points is impressive, he's also nearly doubled his career average in assists per game this year. He'll face the Spurs on Tuesday.
Jan 8, 2021
Leads team with 25 points
Gilgeous-Alexander finished with 25 points (9-14 FG, 3-3 3Pt, 4-6 FT), 10 rebounds, seven assists and a blocked shot across 34 minutes in Friday's 101-89 win over the Knicks.
ANALYSIS
The Thunder got off to a slow start, but they were ultimately successful in ending the Knicks' three-game win streak. Gilgeous-Alexander is the fuel that drives the Thunder's offensive machine, although that motor is one of the slowest paced teams in the league. Friday marked his first double-double of the season.
Jan 7, 2021
Tallies five steals
Gilgeous-Alexander scored 21 points (7-17 FG, 2-7 3PT, 5-6 FT) to along with five rebounds, nine assists and five steals across 37 minutes in Wednesday's win over the Pelicans.
ANALYSIS
After a brief slump, Gilgeous-Alexander has returned to form by scoring 18 and 21 points on 43.8 percent shooting across his last two games. He had only three steals across six contests entering the game, but spiked his total by racking up a career-best five thefts. While Gilgeous-Alexander hasn't taken a big leap forward in his per game averages early on this season, he has increased his usage rate by four percent and has topped 30 minutes in five of seven contests.
Jan 4, 2021
Scores team-high 18 points
Gilgeous-Alexander recorded 18 points (7-15 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT) while adding two rebounds and four assists across 28 minutes in Monday's 118-90 loss against the Heat.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander is the undisputed leader of the Thunder offense, and he paced Oklahoma City in scoring once again -- he has recorded 15 or more points in five of six contests while also topping the 20-point plateau in three games already.
Jan 2, 2021
Stuffs stat sheet in win
Gilgeous-Alexander recorded 16 points (5-17 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 4-5 FT), five rebounds, seven assists and a block across 35 minutes in Saturday's 108-99 win over the Magic.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander was one of six Thunder players that recorded more than 10 points and, while he ended as the team's third-highest scorer, he needed 17 shots to reach only 16 points. He began the year with three straight performance of 20-plus points, but he seems to be struggling of late and has made just eight of his 27 field-goal attempts over his last two contests.
Jan 1, 2021
Ineffective in blowout loss
Gilgeous-Alexander recorded eight points (3-10 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 0-2 FT), four rebounds, four assists and two steals in 28 minutes during Thursday's 113-80 loss to the Pelicans.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander struggled against the Pelicans' strong defense, putting out his worst effort of the season in the blowout loss. It's the first time this season that he's scored fewer than 23 points and dished fewer than seven assists. By season's end, this performance will likely stand out as an outlier.
Dec 29, 2020
Scores team-high 23 points
Gilgeous-Alexander scored 23 points (8-10 FG, 3-3 3Pt, 4-5 FT) while adding seven rebounds and seven assists across 33 minutes in Tuesday's loss against the Magic.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander's role as Oklahoma City's main scoring threat is not under question, and he has backed that up with strong numbers -- he has scored at least 23 points in each of his first three games this season while shooting almost 50 percent from the field in that span (25-51 FG). It's a small-sample size, but all signs seem to indicate Gilgeous-Alexander will be a productive presence for the Thunder regardless of the results the team might achieve moving forward.
Dec 29, 2020
Puts up 23 points in loss
Gilgeous-Alexander provided 23 points (9-21 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 4-4 FT), seven assists, three rebounds, a steal and a blocked shot across 36 minutes in Monday's 110-109 loss to the Jazz.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander was originally considered to be the centerpiece of a rebuilding effort in Oklahoma City, but the Thunder is showing a lot of spunk in their first week of play. The organization has assembled a decent squad around SGA, and they could end up surprising a few teams. The third-year guard had another excellent game despite a disappointing night of shooting from beyond the arc.
Dec 27, 2020
Hits game-winner
Gilgeous-Alexander scored 24 points (8-20 FG, 1-6 3PT, 7-10 FT) to go along with seven rebounds, nine assists and one block across 34 minutes in Saturday's win over the Hornets.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander struggled to shoot efficiently throughout the contest, but delivered a game-winning jumper with just over one second remaining in the game. Aside from his shooting, it was a solid performance, as he neared a triple-double and easily led the team in assists. Gilgeous-Alexander should continue to get plenty of usage and minutes, giving him the opportunity to post strong counting stats.
Dec 23, 2020
Opener postponed
Wednesday's season opener against the Rockets has been postponed, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
The Rockets are having to do contact tracing for a significant portion of the roster, and a team cannot be safely fielded against the Thunder.
Dec 23, 2020
Game could be postponed
Wednesday's game between the Rockets and Thunder may be postponed, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
The Rockets are dealing with a myriad of COVID-19 protocol issues, and it's not clear everyone will have a definitive test in time for the game. If Houston can't field eight players who are clear of the virus for certain, the game will be postponed.
Dec 17, 2020
Puts up 12 points
Gilgeous-Alexander registered 12 points (4-8 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 4-6 FT), three rebounds, three assists and a steal over 19 minutes during Wednesday's 124-103 preseason loss against the Bulls.
ANALYSIS
All signs point towards Gilgeous-Alexander being Oklahoma City's top player ahead of the 2020-21 season, and he has seen limited minutes during the preseason as a precautionary move. He has been heavily involved in games but there should be an uptick in both minutes and production once the regular season starts.
Dec 6, 2020
Looking at expanded role
Gilgeous-Alexander will have an expanded role for Oklahoma City this year, Joe Mussatto of The Oklahoman reports.
ANALYSIS
With the departure of Chris Paul and several other veterans on the Thunder during the offseason, Gilgeous-Alexander will be fully given the keys this season. The third-year guard averaged 19.0 points on 47.1 percent shooting, 5.9 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 1.2 threes and 1.1 steals per game during 2019-20, so his trajectory is looking extremely bright for this year as the focal point of the offense. Oklahoma City likely won't win a ton of games this season, but Gilgeous-Alexander looks like a potential All-Star based on the high usage he figures to have on this squad.

Plays 41 minutes as Thunder fall short
Gilgeous-Alexander tallied 19 points (6-11 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four assists, three rebounds and two steals in 41 minutes during Wednesday's 104-102 loss to Houston.
ANALYSIS
The breakout season came to an end for Gilgeous-Alexander as the Thunder fell agonizingly short of the first-round upset. It was a disappointing end to the season but Gilgeous-Alexander has to look back favorably on his production during 2019-20. Based on the current trajectory and the hype he is likely to receive during the offseason, those interested in securing his services for next season are going to have to aim high in drafts.

Struggles in Game 5
Gilgeous-Alexander notched four points (2-8 FG, 0-4 3Pt), four assists and three rebounds in 35 minutes during Saturday's 114-80 Game 5 loss against the Rockets.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander was coming off an 18-point, 12-rebound double-double in Game 4, but he was a non-factor for the Thunder in Game 5 -- the second-year guard hadn't produced such a poor scoring output all season long, and this was just the third time -- including the regular season -- in which he couldn't reach the 10-point mark. Gilgeous-Alexander needs to improve vastly in Game 6 if he wants to help the Thunder extend the series to a decisive Game 7.
Aug 24, 2020
Double-double in 44 minutes
Gilgeous-Alexander contributed 18 points (7-17 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 12 rebounds and six assists in 44 minutes during Monday's 117-114 Game 4 win against the Rockets.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander delivered a well-rounded performance while committing just one turnover and logging a game high minute total. After struggling badly in the playoff opener, Gilgeous-Alexander has been excellent and efficient over the last three. The sophomore continues to exceed expectations and will look to rise to the occasion once again during Wednesday's Game 5.
Aug 23, 2020
Thorough production in Game 3 win
Gilgeous-Alexander accumulated 23 points (9-18 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, six assists, four steals and one block in Saturday's 119-107 victory over Houston.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander backed up his strong performance from Game 2 with another productive effort Saturday. He combined with Chris Paul and Dennis Schroder to score a combined 78 points, demonstrating their own ability to succeed with a small-ball lineup. After a breakout season, the sophomore is going to be the foundation piece for the Thunder moving forward and we may have only scratched the surface when it comes to his fantasy ceiling.
Aug 20, 2020
Pours in 31 in Game 2 defeat
Gilgeous-Alexander registered 31 points (9-17 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 10-11 FT), six rebounds, two assists and one steal in 37 minutes during Thursday's 111-98 Game 2 loss to the Rockets.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander bounced back in a big way after managing just nine points on 25.0 percent shooting in Tuesday's Game 1. He made his mark on both ends of the court and earned a plethora of trips to the charity stripe while producing an efficient scoring performance. Gilgeous-Alexander will likely need to continue playing at a high level if the Thunder are going to get back into this series.
Aug 13, 2020
Scores 18 points in win
Gilgeous-Alexander delivered 18 points (6-9 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 4-4 FT), one rebound and one assist in 25 minutes during Wednesday's win over the Heat.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander has not reached the 20-point plateau in any of his last four games, but he is still scoring at a strong rate while working as one of the primary scoring threats for the Thunder. The second-year guard has scored in double digits in each of his last 43 contests, confirming that the massive improvements he's made over the course of the season are the real deal.
Aug 12, 2020
Not on injury report
Gilgeous-Alexander is not on the injury report ahead of Wednesday's game against Miami.
ANALYSIS
He was held out of Monday's game against Phoenix for precautionary reasons, but the second-year guard is expected to return to the lineup Wednesday for OKC's second-to-last seeding contest.
Aug 10, 2020
To sit Monday
Gilgeous-Alexander will sit out Monday against Phoenix.
ANALYSIS
He's on the injury report with a bruised calf, but the absence is likely precautionary as OKC plays on the second night of a back-to-back.
Aug 10, 2020
Another stat-filling effort
Gilgeous-Alexander registered 18 points (6-12 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 6-8 FT), seven assists, six rebounds and one steal in 36 minutes during Sunday's win over the Wizards.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander has not scored as much as he did during the regular season before play was suspended in March, but he continues to fill the stat sheet on a daily basis -- this means he still has decent upside due to his knack for contributing on both ends of the court at a steady rate. In five bubble games, the second-year guard is averaging 16.8 points, 4.6 rebounds, 4.6 assists and 1.6 steals in 35.0 minutes per game.
Aug 7, 2020
Rough outing in loss
Gilgeous-Alexander posted 10 points (3-13 FG, 1-8 3Pt, 3-4 FT), three rebounds, three assists and one steal in 34 minutes during Friday's 121-92 loss to the Grizzlies.
ANALYSIS
Friday was one of SGA's worst outings of the season. He'd only scored 10 points or fewer two other times this season, and both were before the New Year. He had been playing well in the bubble, averaging 18.7 points, 4.7 rebounds, 4.3 assists and 2.0 steals before this disaster. That said, we should expect him to hover around those numbers more often than not, as Friday was an extreme outlier performance.
Aug 3, 2020
Leads Thunder in OT loss
Gilgeous-Alexander scored a team-high 24 points (6-13 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 9-11 FT) while adding five rebounds and two assists in 38 minutes during Monday's 121-113 overtime loss to the Nuggets.
ANALYSIS
It was another strong effort from the second-year guard, who's scored in double digits in a remarkable 39 straight games dating back to mid-December. With the Thunder jockeying for a better playoff seed in the cutthroat Western Conference, Gilgeous-Alexander figures to keep getting plenty of minutes and plenty of usage over the final games.
Jul 29, 2020
Dishes out seven dimes
Gilgeous-Alexander registered 10 points (3-4 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven assists, and three rebounds in only 17 minutes during Tuesday's 131-120 scrimmage win over the Blazers.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander looked excellent in this final tune-up game, and he approached a double-double despite playing roughly one-and-a-half quarter. He was the Thunder's biggest offensive threat during most of the regular season, and that shouldn't change once the league resumes in the coming days. The second-year guard was averaging a career-best 19.3 points per game while shooting 47.3 percent from the field when play was suspended back in March.
Jul 25, 2020
Solid production in win
Gilgeous-Alexander finished with 17 points (6-11 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 5-7 FT), three rebounds, two assists, and one steal in 23 minutes during Friday's 98-84 win over the Celtics.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander was the co-leading scorer along with Steven Adams, who also racked up 17 points, and the second-year guard didn't show any kind of rust despite the fact he hasn't played a competitive game in more than four months. He is widely expected to be one of the go-to players for the Thunder once play resumes later this month.
Mar 11, 2020
Removed from injury report
Gilgeous-Alexander (hip) is off the injury report for Wednesday's game against the Jazz.
ANALYSIS
A bruised right hip kept Gilgeous-Alexander out of the Thunder's most recent contest, but he'll be back in action Wednesday. Since the All-Star break, he's averaging 18.1 points, 6.3 rebounds, 3.9 assists and 1.1 blocks in 32.6 minutes.
Mar 10, 2020
Expects to return Wednesday
Gilgeous-Alexander (hip) "should be available to play" Wednesday against the Jazz, per coach Billy Donovan, Maddie Lee of The Oklahoman reports.
ANALYSIS
The guard will be evaluated later on Tuesday, as well as on Wednesday morning, before a decision is made, but he's trending in the right direction after sitting out Sunday's come-from-behind win over Boston. Since the All-Star break, Gilgeous-Alexander has averaged 18.1 points, 6.3 rebounds, 3.9 assists and 1.1 blocks per game.
Mar 8, 2020
Not playing Sunday
The Thunder ruled Gilgeous-Alexander (hip) out ahead of Sunday's game against the Celtics, Joe Mussatto of The Oklahoman reports.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander's status took a turn for the worse quickly. After not being included on any of the first four injury reports the Thunder released prior to Sunday's game, Gilgeous-Alexander was deemed questionable with the right hip contusion around 3:30 p.m. ET, then ruled out less than a half hour later. With the 21-year-old now set to miss his first game of the season, Dennis Schroder could be in store for an elevated usage alongside starting point guard Chris Paul.
Feb 28, 2020
Bland performance
Gilgeous-Alexander scored 11 points (5-12 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 0-1 FT), while tacking on three rebounds and two assists in 27 minutes during the Thunder's 133-86 loss to Milwaukee on Friday.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander drained a three for the first bucket of the night, but that was about as good as things looked for Oklahoma City in the lopsided defeat. The Thunder were facing their largest deficit of the season throughout the second half. Gilgeous-Alexander's streak of 20-point games ended at three. A revenge game awaits Gilgeous-Alexander on Tuesday --- something that is an always an eye-catching fantasy premise.
Feb 26, 2020
Double-doubles in win
Gilgeous-Alexander totaled 21 points (5-11 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 9-12 FT), 11 rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one steal in 33 minutes during Tuesday's win over the Bulls.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander continued his strong season, notching his 10th double-double on the season. While he's a good passer, the second-year guard stands out for his ability to grab rebounds out of the backcourt. Among guards, he sits seventh overall in that category with his season-long mark of 6.3 boards per game. In addition, he's offering 19.4 points, 3.3 assists, 1.2 threes and 1.1 steals in 35.5 minutes per contest.
Feb 24, 2020
Strong double-double in win
Gilgeous-Alexander posted 22 points (8-14 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 5-5 FT), 13 rebounds and four assists in 32 minutes during Sunday's 131-103 win over the Spurs.
ANALYSIS
The second-year guard out of Kentucky notched his second double-double in February and, perhaps surprisingly, both have come through double-digit points and rebounds. Entrenched as one of the Thunder's top scoring threats, Gilgeous-Alexander is also an excellent rebounder for the position since he averages 6.9 boards per game in seven February contests.
Feb 15, 2020
Shines in Rising Stars loss
Gilgeous-Alexander had 16 points (7-15 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, three assists and one block in 24 minutes during Friday's Team World loss to Team USA in the Rising Stars Challenge.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander laid on a couple of impressive moves during the loss, contributing to what was a productive night. The Thunder have been one of the more surprising teams this season and much of their success can be attributed to the play of Gilgeous-Alexander. He has been a top-50 player thus far and playing alongside Chris Paul has certainly been a blessing in disguise for the sophomore. The fact the Thunder are going to be pushing for a playoff seeding should affirm our faith in Gilgeous-Alexander and he could be a fringe third-round player the rest of the way.
Feb 13, 2020
Scores 17, adds seven dimes
Gilgeous-Alexander put up 17 points (6-13 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT), seven assists, three rebounds and one steal in 37 minutes during Thursday's 123-118 victory over the Pelicans.
ANALYSIS
After tallying at least one blocked shot in nine-straight contests, Gilgeous-Alexander has now failed to swat one in each of his last three outings. He did, however, make some very clutch plays in this game to stave off a Pelicans comeback. The 21-year old is having one heck of a breakout fantasy campaign, posting 19.5 points, 6.1 rebounds, 3.2 assists, 1.2 steals and 0.7 blocks per game on his way to strong, mid-round fantasy value. The Thunder may not have traded Chris Paul during the trade deadline, but it's been the SGA show in Oklahoma City nonetheless, as the second-year guard is looking like one of the cornerstones of this team's future.
Feb 12, 2020
Scores 17 points
Gilgeous-Alexander notched 17 points (6-11 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT), five rebounds, two assists and one steal in 33 minutes during Tuesday's 114-106 loss against the Spurs.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander had scored 20 or more points in his previous three outings, but it's worth noting he has reached that 20-point plateau just four times in his last 10 contests. He is firmly entrenched as one of the Thunder's main scoring threats and is averaging 21.3 points per game in four February contests so far.
Feb 9, 2020
Team-high 24 against Boston
Gilgeous-Alexander scored 24 points (8-12 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 5-7 FT) while adding six rebounds and four assists in 33 minutes during Sunday's 112-111 loss to the Celtics.
ANALYSIS
The second-year guard tied Danilo Gallinari for the team lead in scoring on the afternoon, the third straight game in which SGA has hit for 20 or more points. His block streak did get snapped at nine games, but Gilgeous-Alexander has still been an across-the-board fantasy contributor in 2020, averaging 19.3 points, 7.8 boards, 3.7 assists, 1.2 steals, 1.2 blocks and 1.1 threes over his last 20 games.
Feb 8, 2020
Goes for 21 points in win
Gilgeous-Alexander posted 21 points (7-13 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 6-9 FT), two rebounds, two blocks and one assist in 36 minutes during Friday's 108-101 win over the Pistons.
ANALYSIS
Scoring in double figures has become a trend for Gilgeous-Alexander, who should be one of the top candidates to win the Most Improved Player Award of the 2019-20 season, and he has topped the 15-point mark in four of his last five games. The Thunder kept its core intact for the stretch run, and the former Clippers guard should remain one of the team's most important players on offense moving forward.
Feb 5, 2020
Posts 23 points, 10 boards
Gilgeous-Alexander generated 23 points (9-17 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 10 rebounds, three assists, two steals and two blocks in 39 minutes during Wednesday's 109-103 win over the Cavaliers.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander contributed across every category and posted his seventh double-double through 51 appearances. He has slowly but surely raised his assist average to the point where it's nearly identical to what he was providing last year, and Gilgeous-Alexander has more than doubled his rebounding average while nearly doubling his scoring average compared to his rookie year. The sophomore is already one of the more well-rounded players in the league and seems to be getting better with each passing game.
Jan 30, 2020
Complete production Wednesday
Gilgeous-Alexander finished with 17 points (6-13 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-3 FT), seven rebounds, seven assists, two blocks and one steal in 39 minutes during Wednesday's 120-100 victory over the Kings.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander was fantastic once again Wednesday, continuing to shine in what has been a tremendous sophomore season. He has been a second-round player over the past month and has the Thunder inside the Western Conference playoff race. Despite lacking a reliable three-point shot, Gilgeous-Alexander has the ability to contribute across the board, in particular on the defensive end of the floor. He has certainly been an amazing addition for the Thunder and his fantasy ceiling appears uncapped at this point.
Jan 25, 2020
Struggles with shot in win
Gilgeous-Alexander had 11 points (3-14 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 5-6 FT), seven rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal in 34 minutes during Saturday's 113-104 win over the Timberwolves.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander has been on a tear ove the last two weeks leading up to this game, posting 20.0 points, 9.3 boards, 4.6 dimes, 1.5 steals and 1.3 blocks per game, while shooting 52.4 percent from the field, and 86.0 percent from the line on his way to first-round fantasy value in nine-category leagues over that span. That's not a typo.The 21-year old's shooting percentages, and exhaustive effort on the court, have rocketed his value upward. With the Thunder currently holding the Western Conference's seventh seed, the team will likely be doing everything they can to make their playoff appearance, and Gilgeous-Alexander has been contributing mightily to that cause recently.
Jan 25, 2020
Swats three shots
Gilgeous-Alexander had 24 points (7-16 FG, 0-2 3PT, 10-13 FT), six assists, three rebounds, three blocks and one steal in 37 minutes during Friday's 140-111 win over the Hawks.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander continues to make a strong case to be named the Most Improved Player this season, and he has shown a marked improvement on his defensive numbers this month -- over his last five games, he is averaging 8.0 rebounds and 1.4 blocks to go along with 19.0 points per contest. The second-year guard will be one of the Thunder's top scoring threats ahead of Saturday's matchup at Minnesota.
Jan 19, 2020
Posts double-double
Gilgeous-Alexander had 22 points (9-17 FG, 0-4 3PT, 4-6 FT), 10 rebounds and five assists in 35 minutes during Saturday's 119-106 win over the Blazers.
ANALYSIS
The second-year guard has scored at least 20 points in six of the Thunder's last seven games, and he is entrenched as Oklahoma City's main scoring threat on a nightly basis. A front-runner for the Most Improved Player Award this season, Gilgeous-Alexander is currently posting career-high marks in several categories such as minutes, points, rebounds and free throw percentage.
Jan 17, 2020
Scores 18 with eight assists
Gilgeous-Alexander posted 18 points (5-13 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 6-6 FT), eight assists, five rebounds and one steal in a loss to the Heat on Friday.
ANALYSIS
Not a single Thunder player broke double-digit scoring by halftime in this game, but Gilgeous-Alexander was tied with Danilo Gallinari for the most with nine points. Over his last two outings prior to this one, Gilgeous-Alexander was posting 20.5 points, 13.0 boards, 8.0 assists, 2.0 threes, 1.5 steals and 1.0 blocks per game, while shooting 63.4 percent from the field, and going 9-of-9 from the line in that span. While those numbers are certainly buoyed by his 20-20-10 outing against the Timberwolves on Jan. 13, the 21-year old has really kicked things into gear after his relatively slower start to the season. He's producing top 30 value over the last couple of weeks, and even better over the last four games.
Jan 15, 2020
Fills stat sheet in loss
Gilgeous-Alexander had 21 points (6-10 FG, 2-2 3PT, 7-7 FT), six rebounds, six assists, three steals and one block in 38 minutes during Wednesday's 130-121 loss against the Raptors.
ANALYSIS
Understandably, Gilgeous-Alexander couldn't repeat his historic triple-double from the previous game although he still delivered another strong performance on both ends of the court. He has scored 20 or more points in each of his last five games, and he has settled himself as the Thunder's most valuable fantasy asset due to his ability to impact the game on a consistent basis on both ends of the court. He will aim to extend his sizzling run of play Friday at home against the Heat.
Jan 13, 2020
First career triple-double
Gilgeous-Alexander had 20 points (8-12 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 20 rebounds, 10 assists, and one block in 36 minutes of a 117-104 win against Minnesota on Monday.
ANALYSIS
Gilgeous-Alexander posted his first career triple-double with a career high in rebounds in his dominant performance. The second year pro has taken a step forward since joining the Thunder in the offseason, improving across the board. He's scored more than 20 points in six of his last seven games and is posting 6.3 rebounds per game over that span. He'll face the Raptors on Wednesday.
Jan 12, 2020
Continues productive ways Saturday
Gilgeous-Alexander had 24 points (8-17 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 7-7 FT), eight rebounds, a steal and a block in 35 minutes during Saturday's 125-110 defeat to the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
SGA struggled in the first half but redeemed himself with a valiant 11 points and four boards in the fourth as part of the Thunder's attempt at a comeback. OKC may not have won, but the sophomore can at least be proud of his recent production, 22 points and 6.9 rebounds averaged through his last eight games. The 21-year-old will look to continue his run form on Monday against Minnesota, a team he scored 29 points past on Dec. 6.
