Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (quad) unavailable Tuesday for Thunder
Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (quad) is out for Tuesday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers.
What It Means:
Gilgeous-Alexander has been downgraded from questionable and ruled out for the third time in four games due to a quad contusion. Aaron Wiggins and Cason Wallace each drew a start in the past two absences, so one of them could return to the lineup against the 76ers. Isaiah Joe is another candidate for a larger role on Tuesday night.
Per numberFire's NBA Heat Map, the Thunder's implied total (111.75) is No. 5 out of 14 teams on the Main slate Tuesday. Wiggins is averaging 20.5 FanDuel points per game without SGA this season. Wallace is averaging 16.7 and Joe is averaging 20.5 FanDuel points per game in that situation.
