Giddey had seven points (3-14 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds and five assists across 24 minutes during Friday's 124-115 loss to the Suns.
EDGE Analysis
Coming into the contest, Giddey had scored in double figures in 24 straight games, averaging 18.5 points on 50.8 percent shooting, but he had a woeful shooting performance Friday and tied his lowest scoring output of the season. Given his recent track record, it's safe to assume Giddey will be able to bounce back from his off night, but the second-year point guard is certainly susceptible to this type of outing occasionally.

Giddey supplied 18 points (8-23 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 2-3 FT), 11 rebounds, three assists and two steals across 38 minutes during Thursday's 120-119 overtime loss to the Jazz.
EDGE Analysis
Giddey struggled from the field early, hitting just three of 10 shots over the first two quarters for six points while adding six boards and three assists. He didn't fare much better after the break, going 3-of-9 in the second half and 2-of-4 in the overtime period as the Thunder fell to the Jazz by just one point on the road. On a positive note, the shooting guard did finish tied for the team lead with 11 rebounds on the night, his most since grabbing a season-high 15 against the Heat on Jan. 10. However, he's now 0-of-8 from three over his last three games and is shooting just 20 percent from beyond the arc across eight February appearances.

Giddey finished with 13 points (5-10 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-4 FT), three rebounds, six assists, one block and one steal over 24 minutes during Wednesday's 133-96 win over the Rockets.
EDGE Analysis
Giddey had a strong all-around performance and thrived as a facilitator, but these stat-filling performances are nothing new for the Australian guard. A solid player on both ends, and the perfect complement for Shai Gilgeous-Alexander on the Thunder backcourt, Giddey is averaging 17.3 points, 6.6 rebounds and 6.4 assists per game over his last 10 contests while shooting 50 percent from the field in that span.

Giddey recorded 17 points (8-16 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-1 FT), seven rebounds, four assists and one steal over 33 minutes during Monday's 103-100 loss to the Pelicans.
EDGE Analysis
Giddey made just one shot in the first half. He stepped up with 15 points, four rebounds and three assists in the second half to salvage his night. That pushed his streak to 22 games with at least 10 points. The 20-year-old also has five or more rebounds in 14 straight games. As the second option behind Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Giddey should continue to produce good fantasy numbers with consistent volume.

The shooting guard contributed another 10 points in the second half on 5-of-12 shooting to go along with four rebounds and three assists. He finished third on the team with 20 points and has now broken the 20-point mark in three of his last five games, shooting 52.5 percent from the field over that stretch.

Giddey finished with 20 points (9-18 FG, 2-6 3Pt), eight rebounds, eight assists, one steal and one block across 38 minutes in Wednesday's 112-106 loss to the Rockets.
EDGE Analysis
For the second game in a row, Giddey shot exactly 9-for-18 from the floor en route to another 20-point scoring performance. He's now hit double figures in the scoring column in 17 straight games, averaging 19.1 points while shooting 51.9 percent from the field and 84.4 percent from the free-throw line. Giddey isn't yet a reliable perimeter shooter, but he's nonetheless made dramatic strides on the offensive end in his second season, raising his true shooting percentage nearly six points from his rookie year. The uptick in offensive efficiency hasn't come with any downturn in his contributions in the assists and rebounds categories, where he continues to put up strong numbers with regularity.

Giddey recorded 21 points (9-18 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-4 FT), eight rebounds, six assists and three steals over 29 minutes during Monday's 128-120 loss to Golden State.
EDGE Analysis
Giddey was one of three Thunder players to score at least 19 points, helping lead a second-half comeback that came up a bit short. He scored 14 of his 21 points after the break and contributed solid numbers across the board, including a season-high three steals. The sophomore guard had a somewhat quiet start to the season relative to his average draft position, but he's really turned it up in the month of January, averaging 18.8 points (on 51.8 percent shooting from the field), 7.6 rebounds, 6.4 assists.

Giddey chipped in 16 points (8-19 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 0-1 FT), eight rebounds, six assists and two steals over 30 minutes during Wednesday's 137-132 loss to Atlanta.
EDGE Analysis
Giddey delivered a strong all-around performance and stuffed the stat sheet once again, but the fact that he needed 19 shots to score 16 points is not encouraging. He's at least been consistent from a scoring perspective, however, reaching the 15-point plateau in each of his last eight outings while averaging 19.5 points per game in that span.

Giddey notched 18 points (9-17 FG, 0-1 3Pt), nine rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal over 31 minutes during Sunday's 101-99 victory over Denver.
EDGE Analysis
Giddey was one rebound shy of the double-double milestone in Sunday's win. As the Thunder's second-best scoring option, Giddey kept a steady stream of production going after notching two consecutive double-doubles last week. Giddey's secondary numbers are usually excellent, and he can often salvage a respectable fantasy total if his shots aren't landing.
