Giddey (illness) is available against the Pistons on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

The Thunder released their injury report Sunday, and Giddey was not on it. His omission indicates he will return after sitting out two games because of a non-COVID illness. Giddey averaged 10.2 points, 7.7 rebounds and 5.9 assists across 14 matchups during November.

Thunder head coach Mark Daigneault confirmed that Giddey (illness) practiced for the second straight day Sunday and is no longer positive for the flu, but the rookie is still experiencing some symptoms, Nick Crain of SI.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Giddey and center Derrick Favors have missed multiple games due to their illnesses, but both look on track to return to the lineup at some point during the upcoming week. Whether that happens in Monday's game against the Pistons or at some point later in the week will likely be determined based on where Giddey stands from a conditioning standpoint following the Thunder's shootaround early Monday. Meanwhile, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander took part in non-contact work Sunday but still hasn't cleared the concussion protocol, so Giddey could be needed to handle more playmaking duties for the Thunder if he suits up Monday and if Gilgeous-Alexander misses a second straight contest.

Giddey (illness) practiced Saturday, Steve McGehee of News 9 Oklahoma City reports.

EDGE Analysis

The rookie has missed the past two games due to an illness, including the Thunder's history-making 152-79 loss to the Grizzlies. Giddey had been on a nice seven-game stretch where he averaged 12.9 points, 8.1 rebounds and 5.1 assists in 30.6 minutes. He should tentatively be considered questionable for Monday's action against the Pistons.

Giddey (illness) will not play Wednesday against Houston or Thursday against the Grizzlies.

EDGE Analysis

The good news is Giddey did not test positive for COVID-19, but he'll still miss two games as the Thunder head into a Wednesday/Thursday back-to-back set. The rookie is coming off of a rough shooting night Monday against the Rockets, when he posted just two points on 1-of-9 shooting (0-5 3Pt) to go with seven assists, five boards, one steal and two blocks.

Giddey posted two points (1-9 FG, 0-5 3Pt), five rebounds, seven assists, two blocks and one steal in 25 minutes during Monday's 102-89 loss to the Rockets.

EDGE Analysis

Giddey finished with a horrific night offensively, as the guard managed just one field-goal attempt across nine tries and missed all of his takes from three. However, Giddey picked up the slack and contributed well in rebounds and assists. It was his fourth straight matchup with at least five rebounds and four assists. Currently, Giddey leads the Thunder in rebounds and assists.

Giddey chipped in 15 points (6-13 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT), seven rebounds, eight assists, two blocks and one steal in 31 minutes during Monday's 113-101 loss to Atlanta.

EDGE Analysis

Giddey tied a team-high during the Thunder loss, as the forward reached the 14-point mark for a fourth straight game. The rookie also nearly finished with his first career triple-double, ultimately needing just three more rebounds and two more assists. Giddey has currently posted three double-doubles this season.

Giddey logged 14 points (6-12 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-4 FT), 12 rebounds and four assists in 32 minutes during Friday's 96-89 loss to Milwaukee.

EDGE Analysis

Giddey has two double-doubles this season, and both have come in back-to-back contests. The first-round pick has quickly settled himself as a starter for the Thunder, and while he's still raw around the edges, he's found ways to produce. Through 15 games, the Australian big man is averaging 9.7 points and 7.3 rebounds across 29.5 minutes per game.

Giddey provided 14 points (7-14 FG, 0-2 3Pt), 11 rebounds, two assists and one block across 34 minutes during Wednesday's 101-89 victory over the Rockets.

EDGE Analysis

Giddey finally found some rhythm on the offensive end of the floor, scoring in double-digits for just the second time this month. His peripheral production keeps his fantasy value afloat even when his shot isn't dropping, and so nights like this are an added bonus. The young rookie should absolutely be rostered in all 12-team leagues, and knowing what we know about the Thunder's trajectory, his value could continue to increase as the season progresses.

Giddey closed with seven points (3-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt), 12 rebounds, nine assists and one steal in 31 minutes during Wednesday's 108-100 victory over the Pelicans.

EDGE Analysis

It was another well-rounded performance for the young Aussie, falling just short of a triple-double. Despite his inconsistent offensive production, Giddey has been a reliable source of just about everything else. The Thunder are heavily invested at this point and so he is going to be out on the court as much as humanly possible. If this is his fantasy floor, his ceiling could be a lot of fun.

Giddey finished Monday's loss to the Clippers with 15 points (6-15 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven assists, five rebounds, two steals and two blocked shots over 35 minutes.

EDGE Analysis

In the loss, the rookie made his mark across the stat sheet, leading OKC with seven dimes and tying for second on the team in scoring while posting helpful defensive stats. Giddey has played over 30 minutes in three of his past five contests and appears to be taking on a playmaking role in the Thunder's offense, as he is averaging 6.8 assists over that span. Giddey's additional contributions of 13.8 points, 5.6 boards and 1.8 steals over the five-game stretch have helped him gain traction as a fantasy asset, and he should be given plenty of opportunities to continue to develop for the rebuilding Thunder as the campaign unfolds.
