In the previous NBA regular season, the Oklahoma City Thunder at home defeated the New Orleans Pelicans 137-106. After this game, the Thunder, who had won 7 consecutive games, improved their record to 7-0, ranking first in the Western Conference; while the Pelicans, who suffered a 6-game losing streak, saw their record drop to 0-6, continuing to rank at the bottom of the Western Conference.

In this game, the Thunder's starting backcourt star Cason Wallace performed quite well. Wallace played 26 minutes and 03 seconds, making 4 of 5 shots, 3 of 4 from beyond the three-point line, and 2 of 2 free throws. He scored 13 points, 1 assist, and 5 steals. He also had 3 fouls and a plus-minus of +18. Although Wallace didn't take many shots on the offensive end, he also showed quite good outside shooting ability. His touch seemed to have improved significantly, and he also scored a lot of points. The most important thing is that Wallace's performance on the defensive end is really eye-catching. He has super strong personal defensive ability. His defensive aggressiveness is so outstanding that opponents have no way to break through his defense. Wallace played his role very well in this game. His three-pointers are stable and his defense is tough. His performance in this game can definitely be regarded as a top 3D backcourt player.

In the NBA regular season last season, Wallace played a total of 68 times in 82 games, averaging 27.6 minutes per game. He averaged 8.4 points, 3.4 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 1.8 steals, and 0.5 blocks per game. He also had 0.9 turnovers and 2.1 fouls. He shot 47.4% from the field, 35.6% from the three-point range, and 81.1% from the free throw line. In the playoffs, Wallace played a total of 23 times, averaging 22.4 minutes per game. He averaged 5.6 points, 2.7 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 1.4 steals, and 0.4 blocks per game. He also had 0.7 turnovers and 2.2 fouls. He shot 42.9% from the field, 32.3% from the three-point range, and 66.7% from the free throw line. Since the start of this season, Wallace has played a total of 6 times in the first 7 games, averaging 30 minutes per game. He averages 9 points, 3.5 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 3 steals, and 0.5 blocks per game. He also has 1 turnover and 2.5 fouls. His shooting percentage is 38.3%, 37.9% from three-point range, and 87.5% from free throw.

Wallace's performance on the offensive end in these games has been unstable. His offensive efficiency and three-point shooting rate cannot be maintained at a high level. But on the other hand, Wallace's three-point shooting percentage has gradually improved, and he can also play a certain role in organizing and linking offenses. The most important thing is that Wallace's personal defensive ability has been further improved. His average number of steals per game has climbed to the top of the league. His contribution in this regard is also very amazing. It has to be said that Wallace's performance also proved that he is the best partner next to Shai Gilgeous-Alexander.
