CHI • Point Guard, Shooting Guard, Power Forward, and Small Forward • #3

Giddey was one of the few bright spots for a free-falling Chicago squad as they suffered their eighth consecutive loss since February 1. The 23-year-old guard has averaged 24 minutes in a pair of contests since returning from an eight-game absence due to a hamstring injury. He remains a strong scoring and rebound contributor for fantasy purposes, averaging 18.4 points and 8.4 boards through 36 games this season. The Bulls have a three-game week on tap that includes matchups against rhe Hornets, Trail Blazers and Bucks.

Giddey missed eight games prior to the All-Star break before returning with five points in Thursday’s loss to the Bulls. The 23-year-old guard was understandably rusty given the amount of time off and managed to play only 21 minutes. The Bulls have two more games this week with a back-to-back against the Pistons on Saturday and Knicks on Sunday.

Giddey is set to return after missing the last eight Bulls games before the All-Star break due to a hamstring injury. The 23-year-old point guard was upgraded to probable Thursday afternoon, so his availability isn’t a surprise. It’s possible that Giddey is brought off the bench in his first game back, which would allow Collin Sexton and Anfernee Simons to continue starting.

Giddey, who missed Chicago’s final eight games prior to the All-Star break, is now expected to return to the lineup after initially being listed as questionable. They brought him off the bench in his return following his most recent extended absence, which could happen again in this game. That could allow Collin Sexton and Anfernee Simons to remain in the starting unit.

Giddey has missed Chicago’s last eight games with a strained left hamstring. If he’s able to play on Thursday, the Bulls’ guard will likely be under a minutes restriction. Collin Sexton and Anfernee Simons were the starting guards for Chicago’s last game before the break, and Jaden Ivey has also made starts since joining the Bulls.

Both players are dealing with left hamstring strains, and neither are expected to take the court against Boston. Collin Sexton is the most obvious beneficiary of these absences, and Jaden Ivey will earn some extra run, too.

Giddey is on track to miss a seventh straight game as he continues to recover from a strained left hamstring. The Bulls have gone with a starting backcourt of Jaden Ivey and Anfernee Simons since the trade deadline, and that’s likely to remain the case on Monday.

Giddey was initially questionable for Wednesday’s loss to the Raptors, but did not play, which led to rotation minutes off the bench for Yuki Kawamura and Mac McClung. Jaden Ivey, who started his Bulls debut, is the player to target if he’s sitting on the waiver wire, and Collin Sexton will also be available on Saturday.

Giddey has missed Chicago’s last four games with a strained hamstring. With the Bulls trading Coby White to the Hornets, they will be asking a lot of Ayo Dosunmu if he’s healthy enough to play. Dosunmu is also questionable for Thursday’s game, which could make this a showcase for Yuki Kawamura if Ayo and Josh can’t play.

Giddey will remain out for a fourth straight game after missing the entire three-game series against Miami. He returned to the starting lineup in the last game he suited up for, so a four-game absence after that suggests his body didn’t respond well. Ayo Dosunmu will start at least one more game.

Including Saturday’s matchup with the Heat, Giddey has missed Chicago’s last two games. And he’s unlikely to be available for Sunday’s rematch, as Bulls head coach Billy Donovan said the guard won’t return until the tightness in his left hamstring subsides. With Tre Jones (hamstring) also out, Ayo Dosunmu takes on added importance within the Bulls’ rotation.

Giddey will miss a second consecutive game due to left hamstring injury management. Jalen Smith replaced him in the lineup for Thursday’s loss to the Heat, but he is also out due to right calf tightness. Look for Ayo Dosunmu to figure more prominently in the rotation after scoring 19 second-half points the last time out, and he is worth streaming in 12-team leagues.

Giddey was held out of Thursday’s loss to the Heat. While Jalen Smith moved into the starting lineup, he exited during the first half due to a calf injury. Ayo Dosunmu started the third quarter, and he would likely retain that role if Giddey and Smith can’t play on Saturday.

Giddey returned to the starting lineup on Wednesday, but he will sit out the second leg of this back-to-back, which isn’t surprising after an 11-game absence. Jalen Smith could return to the starting lineup, though Ayo Dosunmu should also see a bump in minutes.

Giddey has been back for four games and just moved back into the starting lineup on Wednesday; however, it seems like the Bulls may decide to hold him out for the second leg of a back-to-back in order to make sure they don’t push his hamstring too quickly. With Tre Jones also sidelined, Ayo Dosunmu will likely see more minutes, and Jalen Smith could move back into the starting lineup.

After coming off the bench in his first three games back from a strained hamstring, Giddey is in the starting lineup. His promotion comes at the expense of Jalen Smith, whose playing time will likely decrease. However, since the Bulls are light on frontcourt depth, deep-league managers who were streaming Smith should hold onto him.

Giddey came off the bench for the third straight game on Monday and logged one of his well-rounded performances that we’ve grown accustomed to. The fifth-year guard led the Bulls in assists and came within one point of being the third Bulls player to tally 20 points on Monday. Nonetheless, his scoring uptick against the Lakers was encouraging, considering the four-point performance he had against the Celtics on Saturday. As Giddey continues to work his way back from a hamstring injury, fantasy managers should expect him to round all the way back into form.

Giddey was initially listed as probable, so his availability doesn’t come as much of a surprise. The 23-year-old guard returned from a hamstring injury and came off the bench, playing 26 minutes in Thursday’s win over the Timberwolves. The Bulls could continue to deploy Giddey this way until he feels 100 percent.

Giddey made his return to the lineup on Thursday, and he is expected to be available once again. He was limited to 26 minutes in that game and should see a similar workload against Boston. He also came off the bench in that game, and he could do that again to ensure he is available to close out the game.

Giddey missed Chicago’s last 11 games with a hamstring injury, but he returned to the lineup for this game. However, he was on a minutes restriction, so he came off the bench and only played 26 minutes. That meant no changes to the Bulls’ starting lineup in this game, but that won’t hold for long. Jalen Smith, who scored 17 points in this game, is the likely candidate to head back to the bench when that happens. For now, it was a strong first game back for Giddey.

After an 11-game absence, Giddey is back for the Bulls. He’ll be restricted to 24 minutes in his first game back, which preserves some of Tre Jones’ streaming value. For those who have been rostering Jones, he’s worth holding onto until Giddey is allowed to play starters’ minutes.

Giddey has missed the last 11 games with a hamstring strain, with the Bulls going 6-5 in his absence. The 23-year-old has been tremendous this season, averaging almost a triple-double. His return would likely push Tre Jones back to the bench and cut into Ayo Dosunmu’s usage.

Giddey was also questionable ahead of Tuesday’s win over the Clippers before being ruled out. He last appeared in a game on December 29, with Tre Jones serving as the replacement in the starting lineup.

While Giddey will miss another game, he is progressing and could be available for Thursday’s game against the Timberwolves. Tre Jones will remain in the starting lineup, which raises his fantasy ceiling.

Giddey has been sidelined since December, but there is a chance he returns to the lineup to take on the Clippers. Tre Jones has been starting in his place, where he has had fantasy success this season. However, if Giddey returns, Jones will head back to the bench, which will eliminate the streaming value he held.

Giddey was initially doubtful for Sunday’s game, so his absence going for another game is unsurprising. Tre Jones will continue to take on the starting point guard responsibilities, and he’s worth streaming while Giddey sits.

Giddey has not appeared in a game since December 29. While the doubtful tag suggests this won’t change on Sunday, the listing indicates progress in the guard’s recovery. Tre Jones will serve as the starting point guard until Giddey returns.

Giddey has not appeared in a game since December 29. He was a limited participant in Monday’s non-contact practice, but the Bulls’ guard is progressing well in his recovery. According to Donovan, “this is a big week” for Giddey. Tre Jones has been the starter, and he’s worth streaming while the Bulls await Giddey’s return.

Giddey being able to do some work during Monday’s practice is a step in the right direction. However, he still wasn’t a full participant in the non-contact session. Based on the timeline provided on December 31, Giddey should be re-evaluated sometime this week. While he’s sidelined, Tre Jones will continue to serve as the starting point guard alongside Coby White.

ESPN’s Shams Charania reported on Tuesday that Giddey would be out a “few weeks,” but we’ve now got a more tangible timeline. Giddey’s extended absence will free up plenty of opportunities for Tre Jones, and Jones is worth adding off the waiver wire wherever he’s available.
