Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (foot) ruled out for Thunder Wednesday versus Grizzlies
Oklahoma City Thunder point guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (foot) will not play Wednesday versus the Memphis Grizzlies.
What It Means:
Gilgeous-Alexander will pick up his second absence in three games, but this time it isn't on a back-to-back, so he may actually be dealing with some sort of injury. Theo Maledon could draw another start even with Lu Dort set to return. Ty Jerome should also see more work.
Per numberFire's NBA Heat Map, the Thunder have the fourth-lowest implied total (107.3 points) among the 22 teams playing Wednesday. Maledon is averaging 26.1 FanDuel points over the last two contests.
