Doubtful for Friday
Gilgeous-Alexander missed Wednesday's overtime loss to the Rockets due to a right quadriceps contusion, so it remains to be seen whether he'll be able to tolerate the pain enough to play, or if the Thunder will remain cautious with his recovery process given their position in the standings. If Gilgeous-Alexander ends up being ruled out Friday, then Cason Wallace could remain in the starting lineup.

Double-doubles in OT loss
Williams ended as the Thunder's second-best scorer behind Josh Giddey, but what stood out the most was his playmaking ability, as the 10 assists were just the third time he dished out double-digit dimes this season. Williams should remain one of the Thunder's focal points on offense ahead of Friday's matchup against the Suns, regardless of whether Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (quadriceps) is able to return or not.

The Thunder were without Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (quadriceps) on Wednesday, but Giddey stepped up and delivered one of his best, most complete performances of the season. Giddey might enjoy another heavy workload on offense against the Suns on Friday if Gilgeous-Alexander is ruled out.
