Shai Gilgeous-Alexander led the Thunder with 32 points (11-22 FG, 2-5 3P, 8-8 FT) to go with five rebounds, three assists, three steals, and a block across 41 minutes as Oklahoma City eliminated New Orleans 123-118 on Wednesday.
Fantasy Impact:
Gilgeous-Alexander had an uncharacteristically slow start, as Pelicans' top defender Herbert Jones did a great job on him in the first half. SGA was a different man following the break however, and he poured in 25 of his all-important points while leading the Thunder to victory. Oklahoma City is now set to face Minnesota in the Western Conference 8th Seed Game on Friday, where they will need another SGA performance like this to carry them into the playoffs.
