Gilgeous-Alexander, Williams and Joe remain out for Oklahoma City’s final regular-season game, as the outcome will not affect playoff seeding. Nikola Topić started at point guard on Friday and played 39 minutes; he’ll likely take on a similar workload on Sunday. Brooks Barnhizer and Payton Sandfort played significant minutes off the bench against the Nuggets and will remain in the rotation.

Not much was required from SGA on Wednesday for the Thunder to collect the win. Yet, he logged another 20-point game and really controlled the contest as a facilitator, tallying double-digit assists en route to a double-double. The reigning MVP has been consistent throughout the season and is averaging 30 or more points for the fourth straight season. Wednesday’s victory locked OKC into the top spot in the Western Conference standings, giving them homecourt advantage throughout the postseason.

With the Lakers not having their top three scorers, it’s unsurprising that Tuesday’s game got out of hand during the second half. Gilgeous-Alexander played 28 minutes, extending his NBA-record streak of games with at least 20 points to 139. Given the limited workload, Gilgeous-Alexander should be in good shape to play in Wednesday’s game against the Clippers.

Even in a game where the Thunder won by 35 and Gilgeous-Alexander only played 24 minutes, the 27-year-old point guard was able to extend his streak of games with at least 20 points to 138. On nights like Sunday, lopsided blowouts where he often sits late, Gilgeous-Alexander has to be efficient to get his numbers. He’s provided just third-round per game value over the last two weeks. Gilgeous-Alexander and the Thunder have four games in the final week of the regular season, starting with a matchup against the Lakers on Tuesday.

Gilgeous-Alexander extended his streak of games with at least 20 points to 137 on Thursday, and he did not need to play during the fourth quarter to do so. Oklahoma City led by 30 at halftime and by 45 at the end of the third, giving the reigning MVP additional rest in the final frame. With the Thunder hosting the Jazz on Sunday, fantasy managers hoping for an even bigger night from Gilgeous-Alexander should be fine.

Gilgeous-Alexander extended his streak of games with at least 20 points, but Friday night was a struggle. The reigning league MVP missed all ten of his three-point attempts in his worst shooting night of the season. A solid night at the foul line boosted Gilgeous-Alexander’s point total, but he’ll look to be much better when the Thunder host the Knicks on Sunday.

While Gilgeous-Alexander managed to extend his 20-point streak by halftime, he did not attempt a free throw during the first half. The reigning MVP was a frequent visitor to the line after the intermission, which factored into him surpassing 30 points for the third time in five games. Add the assists and steals, and Wednesday was an excellent night for managers rostering Gilgeous-Alexander. The Thunder play two more games in Week 22, starting with the Bulls on Friday.

Gilgeous-Alexander was coming off a 40-point performance in Saturday’s win over the Wizards. The 27-year-old point guard wasn’t able to sustain that level of scoring and had 22 points on 13 attempts in 29 minutes. Gilgeous-Alexander has provided fifth overall per game value over the last two weeks. The Thunder have three more games in Week 22, the next coming on Wednesday against the Celtics.

Gilgeous-Alexander finished Saturday’s victory with his seventh 40-point game of the season, shooting well over 50 percent from the field.

At halftime, the Thunder led Wednesday’s game by a score of 60-24. At that point, most fantasy managers knew that they wouldn’t see much of Gilgeous-Alexander in the second half. He played 26 minutes, long enough to extend his streak of games with at least 20 points to 130. A lighter workload due to the game being a blowout could also be an issue for SGA in Oklahoma City’s final game of Week 21, as they visit the Wizards on Saturday.

After barely keeping his 20-point streak alive on Sunday, SGA left nothing to chance in this one to help OKC win its ninth straight game. This was his first 40-point game since January and came at the right time for fantasy managers in the playoffs. It’s worth noting that SGA hasn’t played in a back-to-back since early January, and they take on the tanking Nets on Wednesday. He has only missed one opportunity to play both legs of a back-to-back since then, but managers should still pay close attention to Wednesday’s injury report.

There may have been some concern regarding Gilgeous-Alexander’s streak of 127 consecutive games with at least 20 points, as he started Sunday’s game shooting 3-of-17 from the field. However, the reigning MVP was able to get going late, extending his streak to a league record 128 games. Gilgeous-Alexander will look to extend his streak to 129 on Tuesday against the Magic.

He proceeded to score efficiently, come up big down the stretch, and log at least 30 points for the 38th time this season.

Gilgeous-Alexander is one step closer, having scored at least 20 points in 125 consecutive games. That’s one away from Wilt Chamberlain’s NBA record, and SGA can match the all-time great on Monday against the Nuggets. As for his performance against the Warriors, Gilgeous-Alexander didn’t have the best night shooting from the field, but a near-perfect night at the foul line boosted the points tally. Monday’s matchup with the Nuggets is the first of three games for the Thunder in Week 20.

The Thunder open their Week 19 schedule with a back-to-back against the Bulls and Knicks, so it’s unsurprising that some key players will sit out the former for injury management reasons. Gilgeous-Alexander’s absence makes Cason Wallace a more attractive fantasy option in shallow formats, while Jared McCain will be worth a look in some 14-team leagues.

After logging 34 minutes in his first game back from an abdominal strain that sidelined him for just over three weeks, Gilgeous-Alexander played 33 minutes on Sunday. The reigning MVP clearly isn’t under a strict minutes limit, but the Thunder aren’t going to push him too far. Gilgeous-Alexander still put up 30 points on 60 percent shooting from the field, and his final stat line only lacked a blocked shot. Oklahoma City’s three-game Week 19 starts with a back-to-back on Tuesday and Wednesday, so SGA may be limited to two appearances.

While Gilgeous-Alexander was not under a specific minutes limit, he logged 34 minutes on Friday and was not on the court for overtime. While the field-goal percentage wasn’t on par with what many fantasy managers expect from the reigning MVP, he still produced a robust stat line. And there may be an opportunity to shave off a few minutes from Gilgeous-Alexander’s workload, as the Thunder end Week 18 on Sunday against the lottery-bound Mavericks.

The reigning MVP is officially back after missing nine games with an abdominal strain. While he’s likely to be under a minutes restriction, SGA’s return likely means that Isaiah Joe will come off the bench after starting Oklahoma City’s last three games. Cason Wallace’s fantasy value will also take a hit, but he should remain in the starting five due to Jalen Williams’ continued absence.

Gilgeous-Alexander missed Oklahoma City’s final five games before the All-Star break with an abdominal strain. Thursday’s update means the reigning league MVP will miss at least four more games before he’s re-evaluated. Cason Wallace has taken on a more prominent role in the Thunder rotation, and minutes have also been available for Jared McCain. Wallace is the superior fantasy option and should be rostered in 12-team leagues.

SGA was able to play in OKC’s win over the Magic on Tuesday, but he’ll now miss at least five more games entering the break. OKC has the best record in the league, but they’ve faced a ton of injuries already this season. The added rest will be good for SGA in the long run. Ajay Mitchell (abdominal) should start when he returns, but there will be plenty of minutes and usage for everyone available, including the recently-acquired Jared McCain.

Gilgeous-Alexander is playing through a finger injury on his shooting hand, but still managed to lead the Thunder to a runaway victory Tuesday over the Magic. The 27-year-old point guard wasn’t efficient with 20 points on 22 field goal attempts, but managed to dish out nine assists and had one three-pointer. It’s a quick turnaround for SGA and the Thunder as they play the Spurs on the road on the second night of a back-to-back on Wednesday.
