Oklahoma City Thunder Point Guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander had another great game last night at home against the Houston Rockets. He scored 51 points as the Thunder prevailed 137-128 for their fourth straight victory. Last night was Alexander’s fourth 50-point game of the season.
Gilgeous-Alexander is putting together another MVP-caliber campaign. He is leading the league in points per game and is 15th in assists. Gilgeous-Alexander is currently the favorite to take home the 2025 NBA MVP. He is trying to hold off Denver Nuggets Center Nikola Jokic. The reigning MVP is also having a season for the ages. Will Gilgeous-Alexander be able to keep playing well and help the Oklahoma City Thunder maintain their spot in the Western Conference?

It has been a great season for the Thunder. They are 50-11 and have the NBA’s second-best record. They are half a game behind the Cleveland Cavaliers for the league’s best record. OKC’s offense has been strong this regular season. They are fourth in points scored, eighth in field goal percentage, and 12th in three-point percentage. The Thunder also commit the fewest turnovers in the league.
Oklahoma City’s defense has also been stellar. They are second in points allowed, leading the league in field goal percentage, and the league’s best team at defending the three-pointer. The Thunder also force the most turnovers in the NBA. A great offense and defense gives the Oklahoma City Thunder the league’s best point differential.
Final Thoughts
Gilgeous-Alexander and the Oklahoma City Thunder return to the court tomorrow night on the road against the Memphis Grizzlies. SGA scored 35 points against Memphis in their first matchup of the season and 32 in their second matchup. He will look to have a repeat of that performance on Wednesday night. Gilgeous-Alexander has been one of the league’s best players, and if he can keep it up, could take OKC on a deep playoff run.
