Thunder's Jalen Williams: Delivers full line in Game 1 win
Williams ended with 22 points (9-15 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, six assists, one block and one steal over 29 minutes during Sunday's 119-84 victory over Phoenix in Game 1 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.
Williams put together an impressive stat line, getting it done on both ends of the floor. After injuries limited Williams to just 33 appearances during the regular season, the Thunder had to be encouraged to see the star forward in top form for the start of their postseason run.

Thunder's Shai Gilgeous-Alexander: Propels Thunder to victory
Gilgeous-Alexander provided 25 points (5-18 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 15-17 FT), four rebounds, seven assists and two blocks over 29 minutes during Sunday's 119-84 victory over the Suns in Game 1 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.
Gilgeous-Alexander wasn't required to do a lot as the Thunder easily accounted for the Suns in Game 1 of the playoffs. Despite shooting just 5-for-18 from the floor, Gilgeous-Alexander still crafted his way to a team-high 25 points thanks to an extremely busy and efficient night from the charity stripe. The two teams will face each other again Wednesday, where Oklahoma City will look to take a commanding 2-0 lead.

Thunder's Chet Holmgren: Efficient two-way performance
Holmgren notched 16 points (5-10 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT), seven rebounds, two blocks and two steals across 25 minutes during Sunday's 119-84 victory over the Suns in Game 1 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.
Holmgren was limited to just 25 minutes, with Oklahoma City easily accounting for Phoenix in what could be a sign of things to come. The Thunder was able to rest basically its entire starting five during the fourth quarter. Based on the ease of victory, this series could be over after just four games, unless Phoenix can flip the script.

Thunder's Jaylin Williams: Goes to locker room
Williams went to the locker room during the second quarter of Game 1 of the first-round playoff series against the Suns on Sunday due to an apparent right leg injury, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.
Williams was seen grabbing at his right leg after taking contact while setting a screen on Devin Booker, and the former will undergo further tests to determine whether he can return to Sunday's game. Kenrich Williams figures to see a bump in playing time for as long as Williams is out of the game.

McCain isn't starting in Sunday's Game 1 of the Western Conference first-round series against Phoenix, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.

Thunder's Aaron Wiggins: Coming off bench Sunday
Wiggins is not in Oklahoma City's starting lineup against Phoenix for Game 1 of their Western Conference first-round series on Sunday, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.
Wiggins started in each of the Thunder's final two games of the regular season as the team opted to rest its starters with the No. 1 seed in the Western Conference locked up. Wiggins will revert to a bench role for Game 1 and should see a fair amount of playing time in the postseason, even if the Thunder's playoff rotation shrinks.

Topic started in Oklahoma City's final two games of the regular season, most recently recording 18 points, four rebounds and 14 assists across 39 minutes versus the Suns last Sunday. With the Thunder's starters healthy to begin the playoffs, Topic will move back to the bench while potentially dropping out of the rotation altogether.

Thunder's Branden Carlson: Back to bench for Game 1
Carlson is not in the Thunder's starting lineup for Sunday's Game 1 of their Western Conference first-round series on Sunday, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.
Carlson started in the Thunder's final two games of the regular season and averaged 24.5 points, 11.0 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 3.0 blocks and 1.0 steals over 39.5 minutes per game. He'll revert to the bench for the Thunder's playoff opener, and he's unlikely to see much playing time in the postseason outside of garbage time.
