Cason Wallace filled the stat sheet for the Thunder Friday night, recording three steals, dishing out two assists, grabbing five rebounds, blocking one shot, and scoring 21 points (8-11 FG, 5-7 3PT) in a 131-113 win over the Bulls.
Fantasy Impact
Wallace continues a modest stretch on both ends of the floor, finishing with one or more rebounds and four or more points in each of his last five games. The guard remains one of many options as part of a deep Oklahoma City lineup to this point, averaging 8.6 points, 2.0 steals, 2.7 assists, and 3.1 rebounds per game to go along with a usage rate of 14.0% so far this season.
With Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Ajay Mitchell both sidelined, Wallace has stepped into a bigger role and run with it — 20 or more points in three straight games, including Wednesday's 23-point effort against the Pistons on 9-of-17 shooting.

Wallace continues a solid stretch on the offensive end of the floor, finishing with 13 or more points in four of his last five games.
