Thu Apr 17 | 08:42 | Josh Giddey Bags Double-Double In Play-In Loss |
Chicago Bulls guard/forward Josh Giddey led his team with 25 points and notched 10 rebounds, four assists, and one block in Wednesday's 109-90 loss in the Play-In Tournament against the Miami Heat. Despite dealing with a torn muscle in his shooting hand, Giddey logged 40 minutes of action, shooting 9-for-21 from the field. He finished 2-for-7 with the three-ball. The season ended on a sour note for Giddey, but he played extremely well over the final stretch, averaging nearly a triple-double since the All-Star break. Things have worked out perfectly for Giddey in Chicago, and from a fantasy perspective, it would definitely be beneficial if he extends his deal with the Bulls. The 22-year-old will be a restricted free agent this offseason. |

Wed Apr 16 | 18:07 | Josh Giddey Officially Available Wednesday |
Chicago Bulls guard/forward Josh Giddey (forearm) has been upgraded to available for Wednesday's play-in game against the Miami Heat. Giddey is dealing with pain in his right arm and hand, but will play through the issue on Wednesday night as the Bulls attempt to extend their season. It has been a spectacular finish to the season for Giddey, who has averaged 21.2 points, 10.7 rebounds, 9.3 assists, and 1.5 steals since the All-Star break. The Bulls will need another monster effort from him on Wednesday to compete with a tough Miami team. |

Tue Apr 15 | 18:33 | Josh Giddey Expected To Play On Wednesday Night |
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. |

Mon Apr 14 | 12:13 | Bulls Are "Optimistic" That Josh Giddey Will Play Wednesday |
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. |

Tue Apr 8 | 18:10 | Josh Giddey Won't Play Against Cleveland |
Chicago Bulls guard/forward Josh 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. |

Tue Apr 1 | 18:32 | Josh Giddey Will Play On Tuesday |
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. |

Mon Mar 31 | 17:34 | Josh Giddey Ready To Go On Monday |
According to K.C. Johnson of Chicago Sports Network, Chicago Bulls guard/forward Josh 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. |

Thu Mar 27 | 19:01 | Josh Giddey Will Play Against Lakers |
Chicago Bulls guard/forward Josh Giddey (wrist) will suit up for Thursday's matchup against the Los Angeles Lakers. He was initially regarded as questionable for the game due to a wrist injury. Giddey and the Bulls only recently defeated the Lakers, with the talented Australian delivering a special stat line. He capped off a 146-115 victory on Saturday with 15 points, 10 rebounds, 17 assists, and eight steals. A repeat of that performance appears unlikely, but Giddey has been back to his best in recent weeks. |

Wed Mar 26 | 21:52 | Josh Giddey Uncertain For Thursday |
Chicago Bulls guard/forward Josh Giddey (wrist) is regarded as questionable for Thursday's meeting with the Los Angeles Lakers. Giddey recorded a triple-double against the Lakers in a road win last week, but he might not have the opportunity to repeat the feat due to a wrist injury. The Bulls backcourt has already lost Tre Jones (foot), although Lonzo Ball (wrist) could make his return to the lineup on Thursday. If he indeed replaces Giddey in the lineup, Ball will share playmaking duties with Coby White (toe), who is listed as probable for the game. |

Fri Mar 21 | 20:57 | Josh Giddey Cleared For Saturday |
Chicago Bulls guard Josh Giddey (ankle) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Saturday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. Giddey will be back in action following a one-game absence due to an ankle issue. When healthy, Giddey has been on a roll over the last month or so. Most nights, Giddey is putting up nearly a triple-double. That being said, Giddey should be rostered and started in most fantasy formats ahead of Saturday's slate. |

Thu Mar 20 | 20:48 | Josh Giddey Ruled Out On Thursday |
Chicago Bulls guard Josh Giddey (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Thursday's game against the Sacramento Kings. The Bulls have decided to take the cautious approach and hold Giddey out during the second leg of this back-to-back set. Giddey returned from a three-game absence on Wednesday and finished with 22 points, seven rebounds, and seven assists across 30 minutes of action. His absence from the lineup should give Tre Jones more streaming appeal on Thursday. He has been a strong fantasy option lately and is certainly someone worth snagging in most formats right now. |

Wed Mar 19 | 18:22 | Josh Giddey On Track To Return Wednesday |
Chicago Bulls guard/forward Josh Giddey (ankle) is expected to rejoin the lineup on Wednesday against the Phoenix Suns. Entering Wednesday, Giddey was listed as questionable on the injury report. However, the team has since upgraded his status to available, signaling the end of a three-game absence for Giddey. Giddey's return will hurt Tre Jones and Kevin Huerter, although they could still hold value in certain fantasy formats due to Lonzo Ball's (wrist) ongoing absence. Recently, Chicago has witnessed Giddey's full potential, with the Australian star averaging 23.0 points, 10.5 rebounds, and 8.0 assists in March. |

Mon Mar 17 | 20:04 | Josh Giddey Remains Out On Monday |
Chicago Bulls guard/forward Josh Giddey (ankle) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Utah Jazz. This was expected after Chicago labeled Giddey as doubtful on the initial injury report. The talented Australian will sit out a third consecutive contest. Giddey's absence has elevated the fantasy value of Tre Jones and Kevin Huerter. Among the two, Jones has provided more consistent production, averaging 14.3 points, 4.1 rebounds, and 6.0 assists this month. |

Sun Mar 16 | 20:50 | Josh Giddey Doubtful For Monday |
Chicago Bulls guard Josh Giddey (ankle) is listed as doubtful ahead of Monday's game against the Utah Jazz. It looks like Giddey is going to miss his third game in a row due to a right ankle sprain. This is a shame considering Giddey was on a hot streak before the injury. The absence of Giddey would mean that Tre Jones and Kevin Huerter continue seeing increased roles in the rotation. Huerter hasn't done much with the extra minutes lately, so Jones is the better streaming choice between the two guards right now. |

Sat Mar 15 | 19:35 | Josh Giddey Officially Out On Saturday Night |
Chicago Bulls guard Josh Giddey (ankle) remains out on Saturday against the Rockets. He's expected to be back at some point during the Bulls' road trip. However, his return won't be on Saturday night. Fortunately, Coby White (toe) is good to go, so he'll pick up a large portion of the slack offensively, Tre Jones, coming off an 18-point, six-assist, six-rebound, three-steal effort, will remain in the starting lineup. |

Fri Mar 14 | 22:03 | Josh Giddey Not Likely To Play Saturday |
Chicago Bulls guard Josh Giddey (ankle) is listed as doubtful for Saturday's game against the Houston Rockets due to an ankle injury. Giddey looks likely to miss his second straight game but has been in excellent form lately, consistently flirting with triple-doubles, including three straight double-digit rebounding games and a triple-double against the Miami Heat. If he's out, Tre Jones will likely see more time on the court. Giddey's next chance to return will be Monday against the Utah Jazz, though his status remains worth monitoring. |

Thu Mar 6 | 09:22 | Josh Giddey Questionable Against Magic |
Chicago Bulls guard Josh Giddey (quadriceps) has been listed as questionable for Thursday's matchup against the Orlando Magic. Giddey enjoyed his best stretch of the season last month, but he is now dealing with a quadriceps contusion in early March, which could sideline him for a second consecutive game. With Giddey out, Tre Jones moved into the starting unit on Tuesday against the Cleveland Cavaliers. He had a solid showing in 34 minutes with nine points, eight rebounds, seven assists, and one block. |

Tue Mar 4 | 18:46 | Josh Giddey Out Of Action On Tuesday |
K.C. Johnson of Chicago Sports Network reports that Chicago Bulls guard Josh Giddey(quadriceps) is unavailable for Tuesday's contest against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Giddey will miss his first action of 2025 due to a quadriceps contusion. The Bulls are also dealing with other backcourt injuries, meaning Tre Jonesmight run the offense in Tuesday's game with Lonzo Ball (wrist) also sidelined. Jones' fantasy stock has trended downward, but he has previously shown that he can be a quality starting point guard in the NBA. The 25-year-old has 125 career starts, averaging 12.4 points and 6.8 assists during those outings. |
