Giddey provided 14 points (6-11 FG, 2-4 3Pt), 15 rebounds, six assists and one steal across 35 minutes during Wednesday's 98-90 loss to the Timberwolves.
EDGE Analysis
Giddey was coming off a triple-double Sunday against the Mavericks, and he ended just four assists away from repeating that feat for the second game in a row. The rookie out of Australia has been one of the best players for the Thunder this season and is slowly becoming fantasy-relevant due to his ability to fill the stat sheet on a regular basis. Through his last 10 games, Giddey is averaging 12.4 points, 9.5 rebounds, 7.4 assists and 1.2 steals per contest.

Giddey supplied 17 points (7-16 FG, 3-5 3Pt), 13 rebounds, 14 assists and four steals in 36 minutes during Sunday's 95-86 loss to the Mavericks.
EDGE Analysis
Giddey had an excellent performance across the board, as he recorded his first triple-double of the season while making his presence felt on both ends of the court. He now has two double-doubles and one triple-double since the beginning of December and should experience an uptick on his upside with Shai Gilgeous-Alexander sidelined due to the league's health and safety protocols.

Giddey (COVID-19 protocols) has exited protocols and is off the injury report for Sunday against the Mavericks, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Giddey last played Dec. 26, so this was a relatively short stint in protocols for the rookie. He could take on increased usage once available since Shai Gilgeous-Alexander entered protocols Friday. In December, Giddey averaged 11.8 points, 7.1 rebounds and 6.7 assists in 31.5 minutes.

Giddey was placed in the league's health and safety protocols Tuesday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
The rookie is the latest player to enter protocols, joining teammates Tre Mann, Jeremiah Robinson-Earl, Aleksej Pokusevski and Darius Bazley. Given the NBA's updated quarantine policy, Giddey could miss as few as six days, so the hope is that he can return to the team early next week.

Giddey closed with 17 points (7-17 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-3 FT), six rebounds, two assists and one steal across 31 minutes during Thursday's 113-101 loss to the Suns.
EDGE Analysis
The rookie put up another solid line in the loss after dishing out a career-high 11 assists two games ago in Memphis. The Kentucky product is the Thunder's second scoring option behind Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, and although fellow freshman Cade Cunningham continues to steal most of the headlines, Giddey is a strong candidate for Rookie of the Year through the first 30 games of the season.

Giddey provided 19 points (7-16 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 2-6 FT), five rebounds, 11 assists and one steal across 30 minutes during Monday's 102-99 victory over the Grizzlies.
EDGE Analysis
Giddey turned in another intriguing performance Monday, notching a double-double, including a career-high 11 assists. Despite the fact the scoring is not always up to scratch, he certainly knows how to contribute in multiple categories. He isn't one of the bigger names when it comes to rookies but given his consistent role and subsequent production, he has to at least be in the conversation for Rookie of the Year.

Giddey finished with eight points (4-14 FG, 0-1 3Pt), 18 rebounds and 10 assists across 32 minutes Saturday in the Thunder's 104-103 win over the Clippers.
EDGE Analysis
The rebound total was a new career high for the rookie, who previously snared 12 boards on two occasions earlier in the season. Though poor shooting from the field prevented him from securing a triple-double, Giddey's multi-category production more so than his scoring output is what has made him a valuable commodity for fantasy managers. Through his first 26 NBA games, Giddey is averaging 7.2 rebounds, 6.0 assists, 0.9 steals and 0.6 blocks.

Giddey supplied 17 points (8-18 FG, 1-5 3Pt), nine rebounds, seven assists and one steal over 37 minutes during Wednesday's 113-110 loss to the Pelicans.
EDGE Analysis
While the Thunder lost on a last-second heave by Devonte' Graham, it was another strong performance for the No. 6 overall pick, who's scored in double figures in 10 of his last 12 games. His field goal percentage remains the biggest drag on his fantasy value, but Giddey is offering consistent production as a scorer, passer, rebounder and defender (1.6 combined steals/blocks per game) while approaching 1.0 made three-pointer per game.

Giddey racked up 12 points (5-12 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, seven assists and one steal across 32 minutes during Friday's 116-95 loss to the Lakers.
EDGE Analysis
The Thunder might have lost against the Lakers, but Giddey had a strong performance and left his mark on both ends of the court. His three-point shooting was off, but that shouldn't be a surprise since he's making just 25.9 percent of his treys to date. Either way, the rookie out of Australia certainly impressed once again. He's now scored at least 12 points in each of his last three contests.

Giddey will start Monday's game against the Pistons, Andrew Schlecht of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
As expected, the rookie will be back in the mix after missing a pair of games with a non-COVID illness. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (concussion) will also return for OKC, so both Tre Mann and Ty Jerome, who started Thursday's record-setting loss at Memphis, will head back to the bench.
