Thunder's Shai Gilgeous-Alexander: Struggles against Milwaukee
Rotowire
Gilgeous-Alexander tallied 21 points (8-24, 2-9 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four rebounds, two assists and two steals in 36 minutes during Tuesday's 97-81 loss in the NBA Cup Championship to the Bucks.
Gilgeous-Alexander's 21 points were his fewest in a game since Nov. 4. However, his inefficient shooting was even more uncharacteristic, as the star guard is posting 51.0/34.0/86.4 shooting splits this season. To cap off Gilgeous-Alexander's poor performance, he recorded more turnovers (three) than assists (two).

Gilgeous-Alexander has been one of the most productive players in fantasy this season, though by now, that shouldn't be a surprise. Even though the Thunder haven't been at full strength all season long, the star floor general continues to carry Oklahoma City on offense. Gilgeous-Alexander has scored at least 30 points in all but one of his last seven contests while also posting solid numbers in peripheral stats. Even though his impressive season might not receive enough attention given the numbers other star players have been posting, Gilgeous-Alexander continues to deliver first-round value across all formats.

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.

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.
