Thunder's Cason Wallace: Scores in double figures off bench
Rotowire
Wallace amassed 10 points (4-7 FG, 2-2 3Pt), two rebounds, four assists and one steal across 26 minutes during Thursday's 128-109 win over the Warriors.
Wallace scored in double figures for just the fourth time this year and tied his season high with four assists. The rookie first-round pick is averaging 22.7 minutes per game, but his increased usage Thursday was likely due to the blowout nature of Thursday's contest. Either way, Wallace has carved out a consistent role to start 2023-24, but barring injuries, he isn't producing enough to be a reliable fantasy option in a crowded and talented rotation.

Rotowire
Wallace supplied 14 points (5-7 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds and two assists over 24 minutes during Wednesday's 128-120 win over the Cavaliers.
Wallace recorded a season-high 12 points in Wednesday's victory while coming off the bench. The 20-year-old guard has shown impressive efficiency for a rookie, posting 69.2/57.1/100 shooting splits. While these numbers will surely decrease, Wallace should continue to be one of Oklahoma City's first options off the bench in the backcourt.

Thunder's Cason Wallace: Enters starting lineup
Rotowire
Wallace will enter the starting lineup Friday against the Warriors, Brandon Rahbar of DailyThunder.com reports.
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is sitting out Friday's game with a knee issue, but he's believed to be day-to-day. Wallace's first career start won't be an easy one, as he'll be facing the likes of Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson. Wallace has played very well in the first five games of his rookie season, as he's averaging 7.4 points while shooting 81.3 percent from the field.
