Rotowire
Wallace chipped in seven points (3-10 FG, 1-4 3Pt), two rebounds, four assists and three steals over 28 minutes during Monday's 126-109 win over the Pelicans.
Wallace tallied multiple steals for the fourth time in the past five games, continuing his modest yet serviceable start to the season. Oklahoma City is not afraid to shuffle its rotation based on the opposition, resulting in peaks and troughs when it comes to Wallace's playing time. While he should be rostered in most formats, his overall value is largely reliant on his steal numbers, meaning he is better suited to specific builds.

Despite the subpar production, it appears as though Wallace is locked in as a starter, typically playing at least 30 minutes per game. His overall value is largely reliant on his defensive prowess, something he delivers with relative consistency.

Wallace notched his third double-digit scoring performance of the postseason in the decisive win.

Thunder's Cason Wallace: Limited run in Game 1
Rotowire
Wallace (shoulder) finished with two points (1-1 FG), three assists, two rebounds and one steal across 13 minutes Sunday in the Thunder's 131-80 win over the Grizzlies in Game 1 of the first-round playoff series.
Wallace had missed Oklahoma City's final three games of the regular season due to a right shoulder strain, but his absences were likely precautionary with the Thunder having clinched the NBA's top record. The second-year guard was cleared to play ahead of the postseason opener, but he saw light minutes due to a combination of foul trouble and the Grizzlies' inability to keep the game competitive. He racked up four fouls in his 13 minutes and checked out of the contest for good with 2:15 left in the third quarter, when the Thunder had built a 51-point lead. Wallace should be in line for more playing time in Game 2 on Tuesday.

He ends the season with averages of 8.4 points, 3.4 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.8 steals per game while starting in 43 of his 68 appearances.
