Is this the correct way to fetch the member?

I'm listening to the messageCreate event and am fetching the member. Is this the correct way / most optimal way to fetch the member.

client.on("messageCreate", async (msg) => {
  const member = msg.guild?.members.cache.get(msg.author.id) ?? await msg.guild?.members.fetch(msg.author.id);
});

client.on("messageCreate", async (msg) => {
  const member = msg.guild?.members.cache.get(msg.author.id) ?? await msg.guild?.members.fetch(msg.author.id);
});

message.member is the most concise way to do it in this case Discord provides the member data if applicable, so fetching isn’t necessary Attempting to fetch will just return the cached instance since it exists anyways
