Nickeil Alexander-Walker provided a solid scoring effort in Sunday’s loss to Oklahoma City, finishing with 18 points (6-of-12 FG, 4-of-7 3PT, 2-of-2 FT), two rebounds, and two assists in 34 minutes.

Fantasy Impact:

Alexander-Walker has now scored at least 14 points in four of his last six games, showing flashes of scoring potential. However, his fantasy upside remains limited playing behind Anthony Edwards. Injuries to Edwards (who stayed in the game) and Jaylen Clark (who exited with a neck injury) could lead to increased opportunities for Alexander-Walker in Monday’s rematch against the Thunder. Fantasy managers in deeper leagues should monitor his role moving forward.
