Shai Gilgeous-Alexander DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (shin) won't play on Sunday against the Pelicans. The Thunder stamped their ticket as the No. 1 seed in the Western Conference long ago. As expected, the club will give SGA another game off before OKC begins the hunt for an NBA Championship. The other members of the starting lineup will also sit this one out, so DFS managers could see more double-digit scoring efforts from Isaiah Joe, Aaron Wiggins, Kenrich Williams, and Jaylin Williams.

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (shin) has been ruled out ahead of Friday's game against the Utah Jazz. This marks the second game in a row that Gilgeous-Alexander has missed due to a shin contusion. The Thunder have already locked up the top seed in the West, so they don't have any incentive to play their top players at this point in the season. That being said, Aaron Wiggins, Isaiah Joe, and Ajay Mitchell figure to see plenty of run during Friday's game. None of them are offering much streaming appeal, but Wiggins is probably the best out of the three.

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is off the injury report for Friday's matchup with the visiting Hornets. SGA is having an MVP-caliber year, averaging a career-high 33.0 points with 6.2 assists, 5.0 rebounds, 1.8 steals, and 1.0 blocks. He took the night off to rest when OKC played the 76ers on Wednesday night, allowing Isaiah Joe to move into the starting lineup and finish with 21 points while shooting 5-for-9 from behind the three-point line. His absence also enabled Jaylin Williams to amass an impressive 19-point, 17-rebound, 11-assist triple-double. With Jalen Williams (hip) and Luguentz Dort (hip) ruled out, there should be room in the rotation for Williams and Joe to remain involved. However, it will likely be business as usual against Charlotte, with Gilgeous-Alexander commanding the offense.
