Josh Giddey recorded 19 points, seven rebounds, 15 assists, one steal, one three and five turnovers on 7-of-12 shooting in 33 minutes as a starter Sunday, November 8, when the Bulls lost to the 76ers 127-121.
The line produced 47.9 fantasy points against 26.4 a game over his previous 8 games, and the assist total was a season best. Giddey added more counting stats across the board than usual while playing six extra minutes, making him a streaming option in deeper nine-category leagues and a points-league add given his 33.9 projected fantasy points a game.

Josh Giddey
The 15 assists lifted Giddey well above his 7.6 a game over his previous 8 games, while the 19 points more than doubled his 9.3 average in that span. He pulled down seven rebounds against a 4.6 average and made one three against 1.0 a game. His 18.0 per cent usage rate and 47.1 per cent true shooting remain modest, but the extra minutes drove the fantasy impact Sunday.
Giddey has one game left this week, Sunday against an opponent yet to be determined, then the Bulls have no games next week. He has started all nine games this season and is averaging 10.3 points, 4.9 rebounds and 8.4 assists in 27.8 minutes a game. His efficiency and shot volume remain low, but the playmaking gives him value when the minutes arrive, and Sunday's usage makes him a streaming target in 12-team leagues or deeper for category balance and assists.
What to do
• Stream Giddey in 12-team nine-category leagues where assists and rebounds matter more than percentages.
• Add Giddey in points leagues where his 33.9 projected fantasy points a game make him a top-100 play.
• Start Giddey in his final game this week if you need assists, then note the Bulls have no games the following week.
