Rotowire
Gilgeous-Alexander is questionable for Friday's game against the Mavericks due to a sore right wrist, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports.
Gilgeous-Alexander was a very late addition to the injury report, which is a concerning sign for fantasy managers. Friday's game is the second leg of a back-to-back set, increasing the likelihood of a possible missed game. He was excellent Thursday against the Cavaliers, finishing with 40 points (17-26 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 5-5 FT), three rebounds, eight assists and two steals over 29 minutes. Players like Cason Wallace, Alex Caruso, Isaiah Joe and Aaron Wiggins would need to soak up a lot of minutes and touches if Gilgeous-Alexander can't give it a go.

Gilgeous-Alexander's next act will come in a tough matchup Friday against the 24-10 Knicks on the second night of a back-to-back.

It was another night at the office for Gilgeous-Alexander, who has now scored at least 20 points in all but one of his 30 appearances for the 25-5 Thunder this season. Saturday did mark his lowest scoring output since a 21-point showing during the Nov. 4 win over the Magic, though. The 26-year-old MVP candidate also saw a 19-game streak with at least 25 points get snapped in this one, but over this 20-game period since Nov. 11 amid running mate Chet Holmgren's (hip) absence, he's still averaging a magnificent 33.2 points, 6.1 assists, 5.5 rebounds, 2.3 steals, 1.2 blocks and 2.6 three-pointers.
