RecapShai Gilgeous-Alexander recorded 26 points (8-of-22 FGs, 10-of-11 FTs), eight rebounds, three assists and one block in Tuesday’s loss to the Trail Blazers.
After playing the entire third quarter, Gilgeous-Alexander did not play at all in the fourth, as Portland managed to pull away. Due to Oklahoma City’s many injuries, the two-time MVP is being asked to do even more heavy lifting on offense. SGA’s field-goal percentage suffered on Tuesday, but that doesn’t do much to change his status as one of the most valuable players to roster in fantasy basketball. Oklahoma City plays Portland again on Wednesday, and the extra rest time he picked up in the fourth quarter on Tuesday could pay dividends for SGA.
