Josh

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.

For the first time this season, Dosunmu has scored at least 20 points in consecutive games. His overall stat line was excellent, with the Bulls’ guard having an efficient night at the office. Add in the assists and steals, and this was a good way for Dosunmu to end Week 12. The Bulls begin a four-game Week 13 with a back-to-back on Tuesday and Wednesday. How high Dosunmu’s fantasy ceiling is depends partly on the availability of Josh Giddey (hamstring), who should be re-evaluated soon, per the timeline provided at the time of his injury.
