Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (knee) available for Thunder Wednesday
Oklahoma City Thunder point guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (left knee sprain) is available to play on Wednesday against the Memphis Grizzlies.
What It Means:
Gilgeous-Alexander missed the last four contests and it's not clear if he will be on a minutes limit following the absence. His return will result in reduced workloads for the likes of Kenrich Williams, Lu Dort, Hamidou Diallo, and Darius Bazley. Al Horford will take a breather on the second leg of the back-to-back. The Thunder have used seven different starting lineups over the last eight games, so it's a guessing game as to who Gilgeous-Alexander might be replacing in the first unit.
numberFire's models project SGA for 38.2 FanDuel points versus the Grizzlies. He has a salary of $8,500 on Wednesday's 10-game slate.
