Gilgeous-Alexander finished with 29 points (8-19 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 11-13 FT), nine rebounds, nine assists, two blocks and one steal over 37 minutes during Tuesday's 117-95 win over Dallas in Game 1 of the Western Conference Semifinals.

EDGE Analysis

Gilgeous-Alexander fell agonizingly short of his first career playoff triple-double, guiding the Thunder to an emphatic Game 1 victory. While this was a close contest for the first three quarters, Oklahoma City took over late, led by the MVP candidate. He will look to build on this performance when the two teams clash again Thursday.

Gilgeous-Alexander totaled 24 points (8-21 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 7-13 FT), 10 rebounds, three assists and two blocks over 40 minutes during Monday's 97-89 win over the Pelicans in Game 4 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.

EDGE Analysis

Gilgeous-Alexander struggled with his shooting touch in this one, but he crashed the boards for a series-high 10 rebounds, marking his first double-double of the 2024 postseason. The Kentucky product appeared to tweak his ankle during Monday's matchup, but he was able to work through the issue on the Thunder bench and eventually returned to lead his team to a series-clinching victory. "Just tweaked it," said head coach Mark Daigneault on Gilgeous-Alexander's ankle injury. "Obviously good enough to go back into the game. He'll need treatment. These next couple days will really help him. Obviously didn't impact his availability in tonight's game, nor should it moving forward."

Gilgeous-Alexander had 33 points (13-19 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three rebounds, five assists and two steals across 35 minutes during Wednesday's 124-92 victory over the Pelicans in Game 2 of the Western Conference first round.

EDGE Analysis

The Thunder secured a statement win in Game 2 of the series, and Gilgeous-Alexander was dominant en route to his first 30-point effort since April 9, when he exploded for 40 points in a win over the Kings. Gilgeous-Alexander should lead the Thunder in Game 3 on Saturday, and he's having an excellent series so far, shooting 55.8 percent from the field and 37.5 percent from deep in the first two games against New Orleans.

Gilgeous-Alexander closed with 28 points (11-24 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 6-7 FT), six rebounds and four assists across 39 minutes during Sunday's 94-92 victory over New Orleans in Game 1 of the Western Conference Quarterfinals.

EDGE Analysis

Gilgeous-Alexander looked a bit off at times and wasn't as dominant as he's been in previous games, but the star floor general came through when the team needed him the most. An off-balance shot in the dying stages of the fourth quarter would be the game-winner for a Thunder team that had to work harder than expected to get past New Orleans. Gilgeous-Alexander was massive during the regular season and was named a finalist for the MVP Award on Sunday, so he's expected to continue leading the way for the Thunder in this series. Game 2 is scheduled for Wednesday at Paycom Center.

Gilgeous-Alexander closed Wednesday's 127-89 win over San Antonio with 26 points (10-18 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 5-5 FT), six rebounds and five assists over 26 minutes.

EDGE Analysis

The 25-year-old guard led all scorers on the night as OKC cruised to an easy win over a shorthanded Spurs squad. Gilgeous-Alexander has looked like his usual self in two games since returning from a quadricep strain, and with the Thunder still trying to topple the Nuggets and claim the top seed in the Western Conference, expect him to see heavy usage over the final two games of the regular season.

Gilgeous-Alexander (quadricep) ended with 40 points (11-21 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 16-20 FT), seven rebounds, four assists, two blocks and two steals over 38 minutes in Tuesday's 112-105 win over the Kings.

EDGE Analysis

Gilgeous-Alexander missed the past four games due to a right quad contusion, but he returned in style to lead the Thunder to their 54th win of the campaign. Gilgeous-Alexander now has six games this season with at least 40 points.

Gilgeous-Alexander won't face any restrictions during Tuesday's game versus the Kings, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gilgeous-Alexander is set to return to action Tuesday after missing the Thunder's last four games with a quadriceps injury. The star guard won't be operating under a minutes restriction and should be able to play around his season average of 34.4 minutes per contest.

Gilgeous-Alexander (quadriceps) isn't listed on the injury report for Tuesday's game against the Kings.

EDGE Analysis

Gilgeous-Alexander has missed four straight and six of the last seven games due to a quadriceps injury, but he'll return to action Tuesday. In March (13 games), the superstar point guard averaged 26.3 points, 5.5 rebounds, 5.5 assists, 2.0 steals and 0.9 blocks in 34.2 minutes per game. The Thunder are battling for the No. 1 seed in the Western Conference, so it'd be surprising if they put significant restrictions on Gilgeous-Alexander over the final week of the regular season.

Coach Mark Daigneault said Friday that Gilgeous-Alexander returned to Oklahoma City on Thursday and will miss the final two games of the Thunder's current road trip, Joel Lorenzi of The Oklahoman reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gilgeous-Alexander was already ruled out for Friday's matchup in Indiana, but he'll also miss Sunday's contest in Charlotte. Daigneault said the team is worried the superstar point guard will lose his conditioning on the road, as there's less access to gyms while traveling. The Thunder will return to Oklahoma City ahead of Tuesday's game versus the Kings, but Gilgeous-Alexander's status for that game remains to be determined. Cason Wallace, Aaron Wiggins and Isaiah Joe should continue to see increased playing time until Gilgeous-Alexander is cleared for a full workload.

Gilgeous-Alexander (quadriceps) won't play in Friday's game versus the Pacers.

EDGE Analysis

Gilgeous-Alexander's absence streak will extend to three games Friday due to a right quad contusion. Cason Wallace will likely draw another start in his continued absence. Gilgeous-Alexander's next chance to suit up is Sunday's matchup with Charlotte.
