Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Trending In Wrong Direction
4 weeks agoOklahoma City Thunder head coach Mark Daigneault says guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (quadriceps) didn't participate in the morning shootaround but got treatment and remains questionable for Tuesday's contest against the Philadelphia 76ers. Although it isn't an encouraging sign, it sounds like Gilgeous-Alexander's game status with a right quadriceps contusion could come down to the wire. Tuesday is the first leg of OKC's back-to-back, with the first-place Boston Celtics looming on Wednesday, so the Thunder could opt to sit fantasy's No. 1 overall nine-category league player on one half or the other. Josh Giddey would handle the majority of the ball-handling duties as an ascending fantasy asset if SGA can't play, and he's got the makings of a late-season league winner with averages of 22.8 points on 63.9% shooting from the field, 9.0 rebounds, 7.4 assists, and 2.4 triples through his past five games.
