Shai Gilgeous-Alexander torched the Warriors for 52 points (16-of-29 FG, 18-of-21 FT), adding three rebounds, four assists, one steal, and two three-pointers in a 116-109 defeat on Wednesday. He exploded out of the gate, outscoring the Warriors by himself in the first quarter (21-20) and racking up 31 points by halftime. This marks his second 50-point outing in the past four games.

Fantasy Impact:

Gilgeous-Alexander has not dipped below 20 points in any game since October, further underscoring his elite scoring prowess. His MVP candidacy gains steam with each prolific performance, and he remains a fantasy basketball juggernaut for the rest of the season. The Thunder have one more matchup this week, taking on the Kings on Saturday, where Gilgeous-Alexander will look to keep up his torrid pace.
