Posts 31 points in OT loss Giddey amassed 31 points (12-20 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 7-11 FT), seven rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal in 32 minutes during Wednesday's 132-126 overtime loss to the Rockets.

Impact The Thunder were without Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (quadriceps) on Wednesday, but Giddey stepped up and delivered one of his best, most complete performances of the season. Giddey might enjoy another heavy workload on offense against the Suns on Friday if Gilgeous-Alexander is ruled out.

Heating up from deep Giddey closed with 25 points (10-14 FG, 5-8 3Pt), nine rebounds and four assists in 31 minutes during Tuesday's 119-112 victory over the Pelicans.

Impact Giddey has buried nine of his 14 three-point attempts in his last two games, which is a critical development for his ability to be a locked-in member of Oklahoma City's rotation in crunch time. Prior to his ongoing hot streak, Giddey connected on just 34.3 percent of 3.5 threes per game across his last 10 contests, while averaging 23.9 minutes per night. Giddey has logged 29 and 31 minutes in his last two appearances, so an enlarged role can be seized if his shooting success continues -- especially in the context of Luguentz Dort slumping and Gordon Hayward failing to carve out a rotation role.

Teases triple-double in loss Giddey notched 19 points (7-12 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), nine rebounds and eight assists across 29 minutes during Sunday's 118-93 loss to the Bucks.

Impact The 19 points led the Thunder on the night, and the third-year guard came close to his 10th career triple-double. Giddey has been a little more productive in March, draining at least one three-pointer in all 11 games so far this month while scoring in double digits 10 times, and he's averaged 13.5 points, 6.3 boards, 4.9 assists and 1.5 threes while shooting 53.3 percent from the floor.

Just misses double-double Giddey closed with five points (2-9 FG, 1-3 3Pt), 11 rebounds, eight assists and one block in 26 minutes during Wednesday's 119-107 victory over Utah.

Impact Despite a poor shooting night, Giddey still made an impact by pulling down double-digit boards for only the second time in the last 27 games while dishing his highest assist total since Jan. 11. The third-year guard has seen his fantasy value crater this season as Chet Holmgren and Jalen Williams have both cut into his usage, and over 14 games since the All-Star break, Giddey is averaging 11.6 points, 6.3 rebounds, 4.1 assists, 1.0 threes and 0.8 steals.

Solid display in win Friday Giddey provided 11 points (5-9 FG, 1-3 3Pt), nine rebounds and six assists over 23 minutes during Friday's 107-100 win over the Heat.

Impact Giddey finished just one rebound shy of recording a double-double, and even though he doesn't hold the same role he had on offense compared to last season due to the emergence of Chet Holmgren and Jalen Williams, he remains a player capable of stuffing the stat sheet on any given game. Giddey has scored in double digits in his four appearances this month, averaging 13.3 points, 5.3 rebounds and 4.8 assists per game in March.

Bounces back in win Giddey ended Tuesday's 112-95 win over Houston with 14 points (6-11 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds and four assists over 20 minutes.

Impact Giddey needed a bounce-back performance like this one, as he was held to two points on 1-of-5 shooting in his previous contest against the Rockets on Sunday. He's struggled for most of February, averaging 10.6 points, 5.6 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 1.1 three-pointers on 44.1 percent shooting from the field.

Another disappointing effort Giddey totaled 11 points (3-14 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, three assists and one steal across 23 minutes during Saturday's 146-111 loss to the Mavericks.

Impact Giddey continues to struggle, playing fewer than 28 minutes for the 10th time in the past 11 games. Despite remaining in the starting lineup, the young Australian often finds himself on the bench to close games. He remains a borderline 12-team asset but the impending arrival of Gordon Hayward could change things moving forward.

As Josh Giddey Continues Getting Back on Track, Sunday Could Be a Turning Point Josh Giddey took a big step in the right direction on Sunday night, finding his confidence and helping the Thunder win.

Erupts for 24 points Giddey accumulated 24 points (9-15 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT), six rebounds, six assists and two blocks over 41 minutes during Sunday's 135-127 double-overtime victory over the Raptors.

Impact This was a much-needed performance for Giddey, as he was coming off a pair of rough showings in which he shot a combined 5-of-19 from the field. Giddey's 41 minutes was his highest workload of the campaign by a comfortable margin, and his season-high mark of 24 points helped the Thunder secure their third straight win.

Struggles again Wednesday Giddey had eight points (2-11 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), nine rebounds, five assists and one block over 25 minutes during Wednesday's 105-100 victory over Denver.

Impact Giddey shot just 2-of-11 from the floor, scoring fewer than 15 points for the seventh straight game. He has been one of the most underwhelming players this season, currently sitting outside the top 150 in standard leagues. He isn't out of place on a 12-team roster but is not someone managers need to be holding at the expense of a hot waiver wire pickup.

Comes close to double-double Giddey produced 12 points (5-10 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds, five assists and one block across 27 minutes during Sunday's 120-104 loss to the Pistons.

Impact Giddey finished just one assist away from recording a double-double, but he also chipped in with five dimes -- a feat he's already achieved 19 times in 2023-24. Even though Giddey might hold a secondary role on offense following the addition of Chet Holmgren and the emergence of Jalen Williams, he remains valuable in most fantasy formats, as he can get hot on any minute while also showing the ability to fill the stat sheet on a regular basis.

JANUARY 29 • ROTOWIRE

Quiet in win Giddey amassed seven points (3-6 FG, 1-2 FT), five rebounds and three assists in 25 minutes during Tuesday's 111-109 win over the Trail Blazers.

Impact Giddey has been held to single-digit points in four of his last five games. During that stretch, he averaged 9.8 points, 6.4 rebounds and 4.0 assists while shooting 40.4 percent from the field. He had a total of two steals and one block as well, but on the bright side, he turned the ball over just three times.

Nears triple-double in win Giddey recorded 20 points (8-16 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 10 rebounds, six assists and one steal in 30 minutes during Thursday's 134-129 win over Utah.

Impact Giddey was on triple-double watch during the first half of the game, and although he finished just four assists shy of hitting that mark, he still stuffed the stat sheet and posted a valuable line while helping the Thunder secure the win. Giddey has lacked consistency when it comes to his scoring numbers, but he'll be valuable in fantasy as long as he can continue putting up stats across several categories. He's averaging 12.5 points, 6.9 rebounds, 5.5 assists and 0.7 steals per game over his last 10 contests.
