Oklahoma City will be without many main contributors, but one player could get a golden opportunity. On Wednesday, the Thunder won in Memphis 120-103 to cap off
Aaron Wiggins scored 30 points, Jaylin Williams had his first career triple-double, and the Western Conference-leading Oklahoma City Thunder beat the Portland Trail Blazers 107-89 with MVP candidate Shai Gilgeous-Alexander on the bench.
After averaging 15.7 minutes per game last season, Wiggins has seen an uptick to 22.0 this season while averaging a career-best in points (11.0), rebounds (3.6), assists (1.6), steals (0.8), and blocks (0.3). It’s the kind of production that led to the Thunder staying pat at the trade deadline.
