UPDATE: SGA has now been ruled out.

UPDATE: SGA is active but not in the starting lineup.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander ($10,200) was set to play tonight, but felt soreness in his wrist when he came to the arena later in the day. He is undergoing testing and is officially questionable for Friday’s game against the Dallas Mavericks.

Gilgeous-Alexander has not missed a game yet this season. In the minutes that he’s been off the court, though, Jalen Williams ($8,000) has seen a 7.18-percentage point usage rate bump in 347 minutes. Isaiah Joe ($3,300) has seen a 6.35-percentage point increase in 151 minutes and could be inserted into the starting lineup.

Stan joined DraftKings in December of 2020. It was a glorious time, except for that whole COVID thing, when we got Madden streams and boisterous bat flips from the KBO. I was brought on board to bring some West Coast flavor. I especially love hoops, and most of my content is in that arena. When I walk along the beach, strumming my guitar, the beat that I hear is not one of crashing waves. No, it is the beat of the ball bouncing off the hardwood with highs provided by the squeaks of the sneakers. Ball is life.
