Shai Gilgeous-Alexander - Sitting out again MondayGilgeous-Alexander (back) has been ruled out for Monday's matchup against Portland.

Aleksej Pokusevski - Returns to Saturday's contestPokusevski (eye) finished Saturday's 115-109 win over the Grizzlies with nine points (3-10 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six rebounds and four assists in 22 minutes.

ImpactOklahoma City was without six players for Saturday's game -- including backcourt stars Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (back) and Josh Giddey (illness) -- but Pokusevski came through with a somewhat tepid line when considering how much usage was up for grabs. Pokusevski wasn't helped by requiring a trip to the locker room to be evaluated for an eye injury, though he was able to return. Pokusevski's minutes varied wildly from game to game, and even with the Thunder at below full strength in the frontcourt with Jeremiah Robinson-Earl (ankle) sidelined for the foreseeable future, it's tough to depend on Pokusevski producing with any consistency.

Kenrich Williams - Strong numbers in returnWilliams (knee) finished with 11 points (4-11 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 1-3 FT), eight rebounds, five assists and one steal across 32 minutes in Saturday's 115-109 win over the Grizzlies.

ImpactWilliams was back in action after a six-game absence due to a right knee sprain, and while he produced well during his time on the court, he can't be counted on to regularly receive 30 minutes like he did Saturday. Oklahoma City was without Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (back), Josh Giddey (illness) and Darius Bazley (illness) for the second half of the back-to-back set, and Aleksej Pokusevski (eye) also spent some time in the locker room Saturday. All four players could be good to go Monday against the Trail Blazers, making Williams a prime candidate to lose out on minutes.
