Will Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Play Against the Indiana Pacers Tonight?
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander's game performance is currently uncertain due to a quad bruise. Despite being considered one of the premier players in the NBA, the 25-year-old guard's performance has dipped slightly, scoring less than 24 points in four of his recent five games.
They are one game short of a leading spot as of Thursday evening. Their recent performance has suffered, experiencing two defeats and covering the spread only once in their last five matches.
They lost because of a 109-105 defeat to the 76ers on Monday and a demoralizing 135-100 defeat against the Celtics on Wednesday where they went in as 12-point underdogs.
