Cason Wallace News, Rumors, Updates - Oklahoma City Thunder

Scores in double figures off bench 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.

Impact 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.

Strong outing in win 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.

Impact 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 a 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.
