Jalen Williams’ season-high 31 points and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander led the Oklahoma City Thunder to a 106-88 win against the New Orleans Pelicans Wednesday night. He also finished with seven assists, six rebounds, four steals, and two blocks while connecting on 10-of-18 attempts, including 4-of-7 from three.

What to expect from the top Oklahoma City Thunder players and how to watch the game as they face off against the Phoenix Suns on Friday.

As the Thunder navigate through a reality without Chet Holmgren for the next two-plus months, Gilgeous-Alexander sees the foreseeable future as a chance to elevate his teammates. The 26-year-old scored a career-high 45 points in a close win over the LA Clippers but noted he played within the flow and minimized hero ball.
