Shai Gilgeous-Alexander scored 26 points (10-18 FG, 1-3 3PT, 5-5 FT) to go along with six rebounds and five assists in the 127-89 win for the Thunder over the Spurs.

Fantasy Impact: Gilgeous-Alexander played just 26 minutes in the blowout win for OKC. They still have an outside chance at the No. 1 seed in the West, so SGA should play at least one more game.

Fantasy Impact: Wallace saw the spot start with Shai Gilgeous-Alexander sidelined. He did commit four turnovers, but also notched four steals to go along with scoring in double figures. He remains worthy of being streamed in deeper leagues as long as SGA remains sidelined.

Ousmane Dieng (illness) is out for Thursday's game against the Utah Jazz. (Source: NBA Injury Report)

Fantasy Impact: Dieng came down with an illness and will not be able to play on Thursday. It must be spreading through OKC's locker room, as multiple other players were on the injury report because of an illness heading into the day. He doesn't get much playing time when active, so fantasy managers shouldn't expect his absence to change much from a fantasy standpoint.
