Giddey closed with 23 points (10-15 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, nine assists and one block over 24 minutes during Friday's 128-103 win over the Suns.

EDGE Analysis

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (quadriceps) missed a second consecutive contest, and Giddey again stepped up to the occasion and thrived as a point guard. He ended just one assist and three rebounds shy of a triple-double. Giddey will remain in a starting role regardless of whether Gilgeous-Alexander returns to face the Knicks on Sunday, but his usage rate will likely be higher if the star floor general can't return for the trip to Madison Square Garden.
