Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Injury Report
Shai-Gilgeous-Alexander is not listed in the injury report released by the Thunder ahead of the Game 5 against the Nuggets. Thus, he will certainly be in the starting lineup.
Words may not be enough to define the impact Shai has created this season. He has been averaging 32.7 points, 5 rebounds, and 6.4 assists per game this season. These exceptional numbers could fetch him the MVP award. But for that to happen he will have to get the better of the Denver Nuggets and Nikola Jokic.

Thus, an exciting battle awaits between the Oklahoma City Thunder and the Denver Nuggets. The winner will garner a huge edge, let's see who comes out on top.
