Bottoms out in loss
Wallace had four points (2-6 FG, 0-4 3Pt) and two rebounds over 25 minutes during Tuesday's 130-110 loss to the Spurs.
Analysis
Wallace had arguably his worst performance of the season, as his overall fantasy value continues to fall. In 13 appearances over the past month, Wallace has barely been a top-130 player, averaging 6.8 points, 2.2 steals and 1.2 three-pointers. At this point, he should be viewed primarily as an elite steals streamer.

Coming off bench Tuesday
Wallace is not in the Thunder's starting lineup against the Spurs on Tuesday, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.
Analysis
Wallace started 24 of the Thunder's first 25 regular-season games, but Tuesday will mark the third time in five games that he'll come off the bench as Oklahoma City goes with two big men in the starting lineup in Chet Holmgren and Isaiah Hartenstein. Across eight games in December, Wallace has averaged 6.5 points, 3.1 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 1.3 threes and 2.9 steals over 25.9 minutes per game.

Wallace is in the starting lineup for Monday's matchup with Memphis, Rylan Stiles of SI.com reports.
Analysis
Wallace is getting the start with both Isaiah Hartenstein (leg) and Chet Holmgren (back) unavailable, and he'll be joined in the first unit by Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Luguentz Dort, Jalen Williams and Branden Carlson. As a starter this season, Wallace owns averages of 8.3 points, 3.0 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 2.4 steals per game.

Won't start Friday
Wallace won't start against the Timberwolves on Friday, Brandon Rahbar of DailyThunder.com reports.
Analysis
With Isaiah Hartenstein (rest) returning for the second leg of Oklahoma City's back-to-back set, Wallace will slide to the second unit. Over his last five appearances (four starts), the 22-year-old guard has averaged 7.6 points, 3.4 steals, 2.8 rebounds and 2.4 assists across 24.6 minutes per tilt.

Records five steals
Wallace racked up five points (1-8 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound, four assists and five steals across 29 minutes during Thursday's 122-101 win over the Clippers.
Analysis
Wallace was back with the starters Thursday while Isaiah Hartenstein (rest) was sidelined, but that could change again Friday. Wallace's offense comes and goes, but he's been an elite source of steals this season with 2.4 swipes per contest.
