Bulls' Josh Giddey: Good to go Sunday
Rotowire
Giddey (ankle) will play Sunday against the Jazz.
As expected, Giddey will shake off his probable tag and is all set to return from a two-game absence. Sunday's game is the front leg of a back-to-back set, however, so the Bulls may be cautious with his minutes. A maintenance day Monday isn't entirely off the table as well.

Bulls' Josh Giddey: Ruled out for Wednesday
Rotowire
Giddey (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game in Detroit.
Giddey will miss his second straight game Wednesday, but the good news is that he was able to participate at shootaround and the Bulls don't play again until Sunday against the Jazz, so there's a chance he'll be able to get back out there for that one. With Giddey on the inactive list Wednesday, Tre Jones, Kevin Huerter and Ayo Dosunmu will likely be asked to pick up the slack.

Rotowire
Giddey (ankle) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Pistons.
Giddey missed Monday's game against the Spurs for his first absence of the season. Coach Billy Donovan recently described him as day-to-day, and the questionable tag confirms that.

Bulls' Josh Giddey: Struggles with shot Saturday
Rotowire
Giddey closed Saturday's 128-122 loss to Cleveland with 15 points (5-18 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 5-5 FT), nine rebounds, six assists, one block and two steals in 33 minutes.
Giddey saw the end of his six-game streak with either a double-double or a triple-double in this loss, but he came agonizingly close to keeping it alive thanks to his nine rebounds. It wasn't the best game for Giddey, who struggled massively from the floor while also posting his lowest mark in the assists department since late October. Giddey has been one of the most versatile and productive guards in the league in the opening two weeks of the regular season, so fantasy managers should continue to trust him even this game was a bit below his usual standard.

Giddey finished Wednesday's 115-111 win over Detroit with 19 points (5-12 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 8-11 FT), five rebounds, 11 assists and one block across 29 minutes.
Giddey signed a four-year, $100 million extension in September after months of negotiation, but he knew his worth and put that on display Wednesday as he led the Bulls to an Opening Night win.
