Giddey had six points (3-6 FG), four rebounds, five assists and one steal in 23 minutes during Sunday's 134-91 victory over the Trail Blazers.
EDGE Analysis
Giddey had scored in double figures in five consecutive games leading up to Sunday's matchup, but he didn't play as much of a role on the scoreboard during the blowout victory. However, he remained relatively consistent in rebounds and assists. Over 10 appearances in November, he's averaged 12.6 points, 5.8 rebounds and 4.8 assists in 26.9 minutes per game.

Giddey accumulated 19 points (8-14 FG, 3-3 3Pt), six rebounds, one assist and two steals across 26 minutes during Thursday's 128-109 victory over Golden State.
EDGE Analysis
Giddey ended a shooting slump from three-point range that saw him go 0-for-9 over his prior six games. His production is down to begin the season as the Thunder's starting five adjusts to the addition of Chet Holmgren, but Giddey's usage rate has actually ticked up to a career-high 25.6 percent, suggesting his numbers will improve if his efficiency can return to its usual level -- his 48.6 percent true shooting percentage is far below the 53.3 percent mark he posted in 2022-23.

Giddey notched 10 points (5-12 FG, 0-1 3Pt), six rebounds, 10 assists, two blocks and two steals across 32 minutes during Sunday's 111-99 victory over the Suns.
EDGE Analysis
Giddey dished out a season-high 10 assists and recorded his first double-double of the campaign. The versatile guard's numbers are down across the board, but he's still a key contributor for an upstart Thunder squad. When he's played at least 28 minutes this season, Giddey has averaged 16.0 points, 6.6 rebounds, 5.4 assists and 1.6 steals-plus-blocks per game.

Giddey produced 13 points (6-10 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-1 FT), five assists and four rebounds across 26 minutes during Friday's 105-98 loss to the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
Although Giddey improved on his sour eight-point efforts against Atlanta and Cleveland, his scoring downturn adversely affects the Thunder's ability to close out games. Although he relied on secondary numbers to help take care of the Hawks and Cavaliers, the team will continue to falter if it can't find adequate support for Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, who is taking on too much responsibility.

Giddey ended Monday's 126-117 victory over the Hawks with eight points (4-13 FG), seven rebounds and four assists in 27 minutes.
EDGE Analysis
Giddey failed to score in double figures for the third time this season. He is off to a slow start compared to last year but remains a focal point of a Thunder squad that's vying for playoff contention. Through seven games, Giddey is averaging 12.7 points, 6.0 rebounds, 4.3 assists and 0.4 steals in 28.6 minutes per game, which are all slightly lower marks than his 2022-23 numbers.

Giddey finished Monday's 124-112 victory over the Pistons with 21 points (9-18 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 3-5 FT), seven rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal over 28 minutes.
EDGE Analysis
One of the best rebounding guards in the league and a player who can fill the stat sheet on any given night, Giddey was impressive in this one and delivered solid numbers across the board. The lack of consistency as a scorer hurts his upside a bit, however, as Giddey has either notched 16 or more points, or nine or less, in his four games thus far.

Giddey accumulated nine points (4-13 FG, 1-2 3Pt), two rebounds, three assists and one steal across 22 minutes during Sunday's 128-95 loss to Denver.
EDGE Analysis
Giddey posted 16 points during Wednesday's regular-season opener against Chicago, but he's been held to single-digit scoring totals in his last two appearances while shooting just 23.8 percent from the floor during that time. The 21-year-old also saw decreased playing time Sunday since the Thunder were being blown out. Despite his discouraging performances in back-to-back matchups, Giddey will likely have better days ahead after averaging 16.6 points, 7.9 rebounds and 6.2 assists in 31.2 minutes per game last year.

The Thunder exercised Giddey's third-year contract option Saturday, Joe Mussatto of The Oklahoman reports.
EDGE Analysis
Giddey is now locked up for the next two years and is set to earn $8.3 million during the 2024-25 season. The guard took a noticeable step forward in terms of scoring during the 2022-23 campaign, averaging 16.6 points, 7.9 rebounds, 6.2 assists and 0.8 steals over 76 games.

Giddey accounted for 19 points (9-12 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-1 FT), seven rebounds and five assists across 24 minutes in Tuesday's 124-101 preseason win over the Bucks.
EDGE Analysis
Giddey finished three rebounds away from a double-double, but his shooting efficiency also stood out. A player capable of making an impact all over the court regularly, Giddey might see his scoring totals a bit compromised, especially with Chet Holmgren healthy and set to play a prominent role on offense, but the Australian should remain valuable in fantasy due to his ability to contribute in other categories with equal efficiency.

Giddey will be available for Tuesday's preseason game against the Bucks, Brandon Rahbar of the Daily Thunder reports.
EDGE Analysis
Giddey and several other key players for the Thunder were rested on Sunday evening. The Thunder plan to ramp up their key players ahead of the regular season, so Giddey should have an opportunity to make an impact over the team's final two preseason games, Rylan Stiles of FanSided.com reports.
