Jerome ended Wednesday's 115-97 loss to Phoenix with 24 points (9-22 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 5-6 FT), eight rebounds, five assists and three steals over 35 minutes.
With Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (Covid-19 Protocols) a game-day scratch, Jerome stepped into a starting role and produced an excellent line in the loss. This season, the Virginia product has seen a regression in his totals amidst a crowded depth chart for the Thunder. The 24-year-old is unlikely to provide much fantasy value when Gilgeous-Alexander is healthy, but he is still the first man to spell him off the bench.
