Wallace racked up 20 points (9-15 FG, 2-4 3Pt), five rebounds and three steals across 36 minutes during Saturday's 113-107 victory over the Pistons.
Wallace delivered his best scoring performance of the year Saturday and did it when the Thunder needed him the most, as Oklahoma City escaped from Detroit with a tight six-point victory. Wallace has been moving in and out of the starting lineup in recent weeks, but he's been very productive overall while recording double-digit points in five of his seven appearances in March.

Thunder's Cason Wallace: Solid line in return
Rotowire
Wallace (shoulder) registered 10 points (4-6 FG, 2-4 3Pt), five assists, three rebounds and two steals across 22 minutes in Friday's 130-107 win over the Jazz.
Wallace was back in action after he had missed the Thunder's final seven games before the All-Star break due to a right shoulder strain. He had started in 14 of his previous 15 appearances, but Wallace came off the bench Friday and looks like he'll have to settle for a reserve role moving forward with the Thunder having recently welcomed Chet Holmgren back into the lineup. Wallace came through with a strong line Friday, but if he continues to be limited to around 20-to-25 minutes while the Thunder are at full strength, he'll have a tough time maintaining value in 12-team leagues.
