Josh Giddey DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

Chicago Bulls guard Josh Giddey (forearm) is probable heading into Wednesday's Play-In matchup against the visiting Heat. He missed the final two games of the regular season. But head coach Billy Donovan remains optimistic Giddey will be out there versus Miami. If that's the case, Julian Phillips, coming off a nine-point, seven-assist, two-steal performance, will presumably head back to the bench.

Chicago Bulls guard Josh Giddey (wrist) was unable to play in the team's final two games of the regular season, and now there's some doubt surrounding his status for their play-in game against the Miami Heat on Wednesday. One bit of good news came from head coach Billy Donovan when he said that there is a "high-level optimism" surrounding his ability to play. In his first season with the Bulls, Giddey posted career-highs in multiple categories and averaged 14.6 points, 8.1 rebounds, 7.2 assists, 1.2 steals, and 1.5 threes per game with shooting splits of .465/.378/.781. If he's unable to play, they're likely to lean a bit more on Kevin Huerter and Talen Horton-Tucker at times.

Chicago Bulls guard/forwardJosh Giddey(hip) is unavailable for Tuesday's matchup with the Cleveland Cavaliers. Giddey will be out of action for the first leg of a back-to-back set due to right forearm tendinopathy. The 22-year-old is likely being held out for injury management and rest after an impressive outing, finishing with 23 points, 10 rebounds, eight assists, and one steal in a 131-117 win over the Hornets on Sunday. Talen Horton-Tucker is likely in line for a heavier workload while Giddey is out against the Cavs.

Chicago Bulls guard/forward Josh Giddey (hip) will play on Tuesday against the Toronto Raptors. Giddey recently sustained a hip injury but has remained in the lineup and is good to go Tuesday night as Chicago completes a back-to-back. On Monday, Giddey returned to Oklahoma City and fell just a couple of rebounds short of a triple-double. He was fantastic throughout March, averaging 20.3 points, 9.6 rebounds, 9.0 assists, and 1.5 steals. Toronto's mediocre defense likely won't be good enough to slow Giddey down.

According to K.C. Johnson of Chicago Sports Network, Chicago Bulls guard/forwardJosh Giddey (hip) said he will play against his former team, the Oklahoma City Thunder, on Monday. Giddey participated in the Bulls' morning shootaround after he was listed as questionable for right-hip soreness and injury management. In his last outing, the 22-year-old finished with eight points, eight rebounds, four assists, and two blocks across 27 minutes in a 120-119 loss to the Mavs on Saturday. He should be a solid fantasy option for this evening as he goes up against his former club.
