George scored 18 points (6-21 FG, 4-12 3Pt, 2-4 FT) to go along with 10 rebounds, three blocks and one assist across 43 minutes during Wednesday's 102-95 loss to the Jazz.
Impact
George struggled with his shot in this one, connecting on 29 percent of his attempts from the field and missing eight times from beyond the arc. He achieved a double-double as he led the team in rebounding and played his usual tough defense, but one would think the team could have fared better had he come up with a better night at the offensive end. George, who enjoyed a terrific performance in the series opener, will take averages of 27 points, 8.5 rebounds and six treys per contest into Saturday's Game 3.

George (hip) is not listed on the Thunder's injury report ahead of Game 2 against the Jazz, Erik Horne of The Oklahoman reports.
Impact
George was battling a hip bruise after Sunday's explosive Game 1 performance, but his status was never in much doubt. Expect George, who had eight three-pointers in Game 1, to start and be available in full capacity Wednesday night.

George only went through non-contact portions of Tuesday's practice as a result of a hip contusion, Erik Horne of The Oklahoman reports.
Impact
George was excellent during Game 1 against Utah, dropping 36 points, seven rebounds and one steal in 38 minutes, but apparently picked up an injury along the way. Considering he was unable to go through contact portions of practice, he should likely be considered questionable for Wednesday's Game 2.

George totaled 36 points (13-20 FG, 8-11 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds and one steal across 38 minutes in Sunday's 116-108 victory over the Jazz.
Impact
George propelled the Thunder to a victory in Game 1, catching fire from three-point range and contributing on the defensive end as well. George left the game early in the fourth quarter with what appeared to be a back injury of sorts, but he should be okay to continue rolling against the Jazz in Game 2 Wednesday.

George registered 40 points (13-20 FG, 8-14 3Pt, 6-8 FT), four rebounds, two assists, two steals, and one block in 34 minutes during Wednesday's 137-123 win over the Grizzlies.
Impact
George finished the regular season in style, posting twice as many points as field-goal attempts while making it rain from beyond the arc. George shot 38.3 percent from the field in March and had made just 34.2 percent of his shot attempts through the first four games of April, so this was a good step in the right direction with the playoffs set to begin this weekend.

George brings the defense on a nightly basis and is one of the reasons the Thunder sit where they do in the standings. The face the Miami Heat on Monday in what is another must-win game.

Impact
George did not have it going Tuesday as he connected on just 5-of-19 field-goal attempts on his way to 20 points. Apart from Russell Westbrook, the team struggled from the field and in the end, it cost them against an understrength Warriors outfit.

George provided 27 points (9-24 FG, 3-11 3Pt, 6-6 FT), eight rebounds, two assists and three steals across 37 minutes in Sunday's 109-104 win over the Pelicans.
Impact
George's scoring total served as a game high, despite his multi-game shooting struggles rearing their ugly head once again. The eight-year veteran has now shot under 40 percent in two straight, and under 30 percent in two other contests over the last five. However, some excellent free-throw shooting and high usage overall has helped George eclipse 20 points in four of the last seven games overall. Moreover, he continues to offer steady production on the boards, hauling in between five and 13 rebounds in seven of the last eight contests.

Geroge had 26 points (9-20 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 5-5 FT), seven rebounds, six assists and four steals in 38 minutes during Thursday's 103-99 loss to the Spurs.
Impact
George had a nice bounce-back game after putting up a couple of duds. He led the team with 26 points while also adding four steals. He has had some issues with his efficiency of late but was decent in this one. He continues to be arguably the best two-way player in the league and should be in for a nice finish to the season with the Thunder needing to win at all costs.
