SGA hasn’t moreover changeable nan 3-ball good (22.7 percent from deep), but he’s put together immense scoring performances to lead OKC to an undefeated start.

On Monday, SGA takes connected a Dallas squad that has fixed up 125, 117 and 129 points successful 3 games, ranking 19th successful nan NBA successful protect standing and 21st successful force points per game.

Gilgeous-Alexander’s usage has been monolithic – he’s taken 17 aliases much shots successful each crippled – and he gets to nan statement a ton (44 free-throw attempts successful 3 games). 

With Chet Holmgren questionable and Jalen Williams retired connected Monday night, a ton of nan scoring load for OKC is going to autumn connected Gilgeous-Alexander.
