Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (knee) is ruled out for Friday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves.
Gilgeous-Alexander will miss his second straight game with a left knee sprain. In a promising matchup against a Timberwolves' unit ranked 26th in defensive efficiency, expect Hamidou Diallo to log more minutes at the guard positions on Friday.
Diallo's current projection includes 9.8 points, 4.2 rebounds, and 1.5 assists.
