Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Upgraded After Shootaround
6 months agoOklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (knee) has been upgraded to questionable for Monday's game versus the Atlanta Hawks. Gilgeous-Alexander got some work in during morning shootaround, giving him a decent chance to be active for Monday's battle with Atlanta after Sunday's official injury report tagged him as out due to a left knee sprain. Even if the 25-year-old All-Star ultimately sits this one out, he would appear to be a good bet to return on Wednesday vs. the Cleveland Cavaliers. SGA's availability could come down to the wire as a game-time call based on pregame warmups, so he's shaping up as a leverageable risk/reward DFS choice with a later tip-off. Monday's environment features the slate's highest implied point total (241.5). First-round rookie Cason Wallace could draw the start if SGA is ruled out, but sixth man Isaiah Joe outscored him 16-13 from the bench in Friday's free-flowing 141-139 loss to the Golden State Warriors sans Shai.
