Giddey produced 20 points (8-16 FG, 4-8 3Pt), six rebounds and five assists in 27 minutes during Sunday's 124-108 victory over the Nets.
EDGE Analysis
Giddey is known for his ability to stuff the stat sheet on a game-to-game basis, but he stood out as a scorer Sunday and reached the 20-point plateau for the first time since Oct. 30, when he scored a season-high 21 points against the Pistons. Giddey remains valuable in fantasy and is averaging 11.9 points, 6.6 rebounds and 4.6 assists per game over his last 10 contests.

Giddey accumulated 10 points (4-7 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds and seven assists in 25 minutes during Tuesday's 129-106 win over the Timberwolves.
EDGE Analysis
Giddey returned after missing the previous game with a left ankle sprain by finishing as one of five Thunder players with a double-digit point total and ending second on the team in assists over 25 minutes of action. Giddey has crossed double figures in scoring 19 times this season, adding seven or more assists in five of those contests.

Giddey (ankle) is cleared to play in Tuesday's game against Minnesota.
EDGE Analysis
Giddey will return from a one-game absence due to a left ankle sprain. He's amid a fantasy-relevant stretch over his last five games, averaging 12.2 points, 7.0 rebounds and 4.8 assists in 21.2 minutes per contest.

Giddey (ankle) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Timberwolves.
EDGE Analysis
Giddey left Thursday's win over the Clippers and missed Saturday's loss to the Lakers due to an ankle injury. He has a chance to return Tuesday, but if Giddey remains sidelined, Isaiah Joe, Aaron Wiggins and Cason Wallace would be candidates for increased roles.

Giddey (ankle) is out for Saturday's matchup against the Lakers.
EDGE Analysis
Giddey exited Thursday's victory over the Clippers with an ankle injury, and he's been ruled out for Saturday after it's been diagnosed as a sprain. The absence will mark Giddey's first of the campaign. While he's sidelined, more minutes could be in store for Isaiah Joe, Aaron Wiggins, Cason Wallace and others.

Giddey will not return to Thursday's game against the Clippers due to a left ankle injury, Brandon Rahbar of DailyThunder.com reports. He finished with 11 points (4-5 FG, 3-3 3Pt), four assists, three rebounds and five turnovers in 14 minutes.
EDGE Analysis
Giddey was driving to the basket when he slipped and twisted his left ankle. The severity is not known yet, but this puts his status for Saturday against the Lakers in jeopardy. Cason Wallace started the second half in his place, and Aaron Wiggins and Isaiah Joe could see a few more minutes in the short term. In a best-case scenario, Giddey should be considered questionable to face the Lakers on Saturday.

Giddey produced 16 points (6-12 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 12 rebounds, four assists and one steal over 24 minutes during Monday's 116-97 victory over the Grizzlies.
EDGE Analysis
Coming into the contest, Giddey had scored in double figures just twice over his previous five appearances, but he submitted an efficient performance in that category Monday. Despite the quality outing, Giddey's fantasy value continues to trend downward. He hasn't played 30-plus minutes since Nov. 3, averaging 11.0 points, 5.9 rebounds, 4.4 assists and 1.1 steals in 24.8 minutes over his last 18 appearances.

Giddey logged eight points (3-11 FG, 2-5 3Pt), four rebounds, six assists and one steal over 25 minutes during Wednesday's 110-101 loss to Houston.
EDGE Analysis
Giddey offered very little outside of his six assists, another in a string of disappointing games. He has not played more than 30 minutes in almost a month, often riding the bench to close out games. He is well outside the top 200 in nine-category leagues, making him someone to consider dropping. While he should able to pick things up at some point, it does appear as though the Thunder might be comfortable using him sparingly when the game is on the line.

Giddey contributed 10 points (4-12 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds and eight assists over 26 minutes during Saturday's 127-123 loss to Philadelphia.
EDGE Analysis
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Chet Holmgren led the way for the Thunder in this loss, but Giddey excelled as a supporting threat while making his presence felt on both ends of the court. One of the most versatile players in the league and someone who can fill the stat sheet with ease every time he steps on the court, Giddey is averaging 11.3 points, 5.7 rebounds, 5.0 assists and 1.0 steals per game across his last 10 contests.

The NBA announced Friday that it's looking into allegations that Giddey had an improper relationship with an underage girl, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
The allegations were made on social media earlier in the week, but Giddey and coach Mark Daigneault declined to comment on the situation following Friday's practice. "I understand the question obviously, but there's no further comment right now," Giddey said. "Personal matter, and I have no comment on it," Daigneault said. "And that'll be my comment on anything related," per Tim MacMahon of ESPN.com.
