4 years agoThe Oklahoma City Thunder will be severely short-handed in the back court yet again for Wednesday's game versus the Lakers, as point/shooting guards Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (knee) and Theo Maledon have both been ruled out. When the duo last sat out, Hamidou Diallo and Kenrich Williams saw 37 and 36 minutes, respectively, dominating OKC's back-court play and making them upside DFS options that are sure to garner considerable intrigue. Gilgeous-Alexander missed two games with a knee ailment last week but returned to average 30 points, 8.5 assists and 8.0 rebounds over his last two contests. The next chance that Gilgeous-Alexander and Maledon will have to suit up comes Friday against Denver.--Jesse Borek
