Thunder's Shai Gilgeous-Alexander: Scores 28 points in loss Wednesday
Rotowire
Gilgeous-Alexander amassed 28 points (10-19 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 8-10 FT), two rebounds, six assists, one block and one steal across 39 minutes during Wednesday's 124-122 loss to the Nuggets.
Gilgeous-Alexander did what he could to lift the Thunder to victory in this one, but his efforts weren't enough, as OKC was unable to slow down Nikola Jokic and the Nuggets down the stretch. Despite the loss, Gilgeous-Alexander continues to deliver solid numbers across the board. He's scored over 20 points in all but one of his seven outings to date and is averaging 26.0 points, 6.8 assists, 6.0 rebounds, 1.6 steals and 1.0 blocks per contest.
Gilgeous-Alexander finished Saturday's 105-92 win over the Clippers with 25 points (7-14 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 9-9 FT), three rebounds, nine assists and one block over 31 minutes.
Gilgeous-Alexander carried the Thunder to a solid win Saturday, and he posted an impressive line in both quantity and efficiency. The star point guard finished just one assist away from recording a double-double, but he does enough on both sides of the ball, even if he's not delivering double-digit dimes regularly. Through six appearances, Gilgeous-Alexander has only one double-double but is averaging 26.5 points, 6.7 rebounds and 6.5 assists per contest.

Thunder's Shai Gilgeous-Alexander: Pours in efficient 30 in win
Rotowire
Gilgeous-Alexander chipped in 30 points (12-18 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 5-6 FT), seven rebounds, six assists and one steal across 28 minutes during Friday's 137-114 win over Portland.
The Thunder never trailed as they romped to their fifth straight win, and Gilgeous-Alexander led the charge with his second 30-point performance of the season. He's actually had difficulty finding his shooting stroke so far, draining just 25.6 percent (10-for-39) of his three-point attempts, but SGA has compensated by producing 7.4 boards, 2.2 steals and 1.2 blocks a game -- marks which would all be career highs if the 26-year-old guard can maintain them.

Rotowire
Gilgeous-Alexander contributed 18 points (7-20 FG, 2-10 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, five assists and one steal across 28 minutes during Wednesday's 105-93 victory over San Antonio.
Gilgeous-Alexander scored his fewest points of the season Wednesday despite the Thunder coming out on top. The star guard has started off the season shooting poorly, converting just 27.3 percent of his 8.3 three-point attempts per contest. This uptick in volume is also worth noting, as Gilgeous-Alexander attempted just 3.6 three-point attempts per game in 2023-24.

Rotowire
Gilgeous-Alexander ended Sunday's 128-104 victory over the Hawks with 35 points (11-24 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 10-11 FT), 11 rebounds, nine assists, three blocks and three steals over 36 minutes.
Gilgeous-Alexander delivered another impressive showing Sunday and outplayed Trae Young in a battle between two of the most productive point guards in the early stages of the season. This was Gilgeous-Alexander's first double-double of the campaign, and the fact that he ended just one assist shy of a triple-double shows how impactful he was on both ends of the court. It's still early in the campaign, but the Thunder star is already averaging 28.7 points, 8.7 rebounds, 6.3 assists, 3.0 steals and 2.0 blocks per game to open the 2024-25 season.

Gilgeous-Alexander notched 23 points (9-21 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 3-3 FT), eight rebounds, two assists and four steals across 30 minutes in Saturday's 114-95 win over the Bulls.
Gilgeous-Alexander was one of three Thunder players who scored 20-plus points in this win, and while he didn't fill the stat sheet as well as he did in Thursday's season-opening win over the Nuggets, he still delivered an impressive performance. Gilgeous-Alexander's ability to stuff the stat sheet while being an excellent scorer makes him a stud in fantasy across all formats -- even on off nights like Saturday during which his shot isn't falling.

Rotowire
Gilgeous-Alexander produced 28 points (11-24 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 4-5 FT), seven rebounds, eight assists, three blocks and two steals over 36 minutes during Thursday's 102-87 win over Denver.
Gilgeous-Alexander matched his 28 points with excellent results in every secondary category, including an uncharacteristic three blocked shots. The standout point guard's supporting cast didn't do much outside of Chet Holmgren's 25 points. Gilgeous-Alexander will need more support if the team wants to compete in the West, but a win over the Nuggets is a great way to kick things off.
Thunder's Shai Gilgeous-Alexander: Leads OKC in scoring Tuesday
Rotowire
Gilgeous-Alexander posted 19 points (6-10 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three rebounds, five assists and a steal across 20 minutes in Tuesday's 124-94 preseason win over the Nuggets.
The Thunder cruised in this preseason victory, and the star floor general led the team in scoring despite being limited to just 20 minutes. One of the best players in the NBA last season and an absolute stud across all fantasy formats, Gilgeous-Alexander should be the main offensive threat for a stacked Thunder team when they open their regular-season campaign against the Nuggets on Oct. 24.
Thunder's Shai Gilgeous-Alexander: Efficient in preseason loss
Rotowire
Gilgeous-Alexander scored 15 points (5-7 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 3-3 FT) while adding two rebounds, six assists and a block across 19 minutes in Wednesday's 122-113 preseason loss to the Rockets.
Gilgeous-Alexander was one of the best players in the 2023-24 NBA season, and that doesn't figure to change in 2024-25 as long as he remains healthy. Preseason stats are almost meaningless for star players, but if this game serves as any indication, then the star floor general is ready for the regular-season opener against the Nuggets on Oct. 24.
