Jalen Williams’ status is in question, leaving the Thunder’s talented depth to fill the void if Williams were to miss Game 3 with a lingering hamstring injury. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander will take on another massive role, likely leading to a 30% usage rate across 38+ minutes.
In Game 2, Alexander racked up 9 assists across 13 opportunities, while reeling in 4 rebounds on 6 chances. The Spurs will continue to throw multiple bodies at Alexander while hedging and doubling ball screens. This should give Alexander plenty of chances to fill the stat sheet.
