The Thunder will aim to capture the top seed in the Western Conference on the final day of the regular season, and Giddey is expected to handle his regular workload on the final day of the campaign against another playoff-bound team such as Dallas. Giddey is averaging 14.2 points, 8.2 rebounds and 6.7 assists per game across six appearances this month.

Giddey (hip) won't play Friday against the Bucks, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.

Giddey is listed as questionable for Friday's game versus the Bucks due to a right hip contusion.

Thunder's Josh Giddey: Double-double against Spurs
Rotowire
Giddey logged 20 points (7-12 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 5-5 FT), 12 rebounds, seven assists and one steal over 29 minutes during Wednesday's 127-89 win over San Antonio.
The third-year guard teased his fourth triple-double of the season as he bounced back from a poor four-point showing against the Kings on Tuesday. Giddey is having a strong finish to the regular season as the Thunder guns for the top seed in the Western Conference, and over the last 15 games he's averaged 16.3 points, 7.7 boards, 6.5 assists and 1.3 threes while shooting 54.1 percent from the floor.

Thunder's Josh Giddey: Held in check
Rotowire
Giddey provided four points (2-7 FG, 0-4 3Pt), four rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one steal over 21 minutes during Tuesday's 112-105 win over the Kings.
Giddey was eerily quiet Tuesday, and his usage rate took a massive hit with Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Jalen Williams back in the lineup. This was disappointing for his fantasy managers, as Giddey just put up 20 points, 13 rebounds and 13 assists Sunday against the Hornets.

Thunder's Josh Giddey: Another triple-double Sunday
Rotowire
Giddey provided 20 points (7-15 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 5-6 FT), 13 rebounds, 13 assists and one steal in 37 minutes during Sunday's 121-118 victory over the Hornets.
From a fantasy and statistical perspective, Giddey is ending the season on a sizzling streak. He's taking advantage of absences to both Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (quadriceps) and Jalen Williams (ankle) to fill the stat sheet regularly. This was Giddey's second triple-double over his last five appearances, a span in which he's averaging 15.4 points, 9.2 rebounds and 8.4 assists per contest.

Thunder's Josh Giddey: Nears triple-double vs. Pacers
Rotowire
Giddey racked up 14 points (6-17 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds, 12 assists and one steal across 35 minutes during Friday's 126-112 loss to the Pacers.
Giddey registered his eighth double-double of the season Friday, and he was one rebound shy of recording his third triple-double of the year. He's taken a larger role over the last three games due to Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (quadriceps) being sidelined. Over that span, Giddey has averaged 13.7 points on 47.2 percent shooting, 6.7 rebounds and 5.7 assists over 30.3 minutes per game.

Thunder's Josh Giddey: Solid output in loss to Boston
Rotowire
Giddey ended with 17 points (7-11 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds and two assists over 28 minutes during Wednesday's 135-100 loss to the Celtics.
Giddey saw an uptick in his usage rate due to the absence of Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (quadriceps), and he posted a solid stat line across the board. He was efficient with his shot, but there was nothing he could've done to change the course of the game en route to a 35-point loss. Giddey has averaged 19.4 points, 7.6 rebounds and 6.0 assists per game over his last five appearances, though it's worth noting that Gilgeous-Alexander has been absent in four of those.

Thunder's Josh Giddey: Records triple-double Sunday
Rotowire
Giddey closed Sunday's 113-112 win over New York with 16 points (7-11 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 0-2 FT), 13 rebounds, 12 assists, two blocks and one steal in 31 minutes.
Giddey had already come close to securing a triple-double in the win over the Suns on Friday, but he accomplished the feat in this tight win over the Knicks, making it the second time he has achieved this goal in the current season. The Thunder certainly needed Giddey to be at his best since Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (quad) was not at 100 percent in his return from a two-game absence.
Giddey closed with 23 points (10-15 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, nine assists and one block over 24 minutes during Friday's 128-103 win over the Suns.
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (quadriceps) missed a second consecutive contest, and Giddey again stepped up to the occasion and thrived as a point guard. He ended just one assist and three rebounds shy of a triple-double. Giddey will remain in a starting role regardless of whether Gilgeous-Alexander returns to face the Knicks on Sunday, but his usage rate will likely be higher if the star floor general can't return for the trip to Madison Square Garden.

Thunder's Josh Giddey: Posts 31 points in OT loss
Rotowire
Giddey amassed 31 points (12-20 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 7-11 FT), seven rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal in 32 minutes during Wednesday's 132-126 overtime loss to the Rockets.
The Thunder were without Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (quadriceps) on Wednesday, but Giddey stepped up and delivered one of his best, most complete performances of the season. Giddey might enjoy another heavy workload on offense against the Suns on Friday if Gilgeous-Alexander is ruled out.

Thunder's Josh Giddey: Heating up from deep
Rotowire
Giddey closed with 25 points (10-14 FG, 5-8 3Pt), nine rebounds and four assists in 31 minutes during Tuesday's 119-112 victory over the Pelicans.
Giddey has buried nine of his 14 three-point attempts in his last two games, which is a critical development for his ability to be a locked-in member of Oklahoma City's rotation in crunch time. Before his ongoing hot streak, Giddey connected on just 34.3 percent of 3.5 threes per game across his last 10 contests while averaging 23.9 minutes per night. Giddey has logged 29 and 31 minutes in his last two appearances, so an enlarged role can be seized if his shooting success continues -- especially in the context of Luguentz Dort slumping and Gordon Hayward failing to carve out a rotational role.

Thunder's Josh Giddey: Teases triple-double in loss
Rotowire
Giddey notched 19 points (7-12 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), nine rebounds and eight assists across 29 minutes during Sunday's 118-93 loss to the Bucks.
The 19 points led the Thunder on the night, and the third-year guard came close to his 10th career triple-double. Giddey has been a little more productive in March, draining at least one three-pointer in all 11 games so far this month while scoring in double digits 10 times, and he's averaged 13.5 points, 6.3 boards, 4.9 assists and 1.5 threes while shooting 53.3 percent from the floor.

Thunder's Josh Giddey: Just misses double-double
Rotowire
Giddey closed with five points (2-9 FG, 1-3 3Pt), 11 rebounds, eight assists and one block in 26 minutes during Wednesday's 119-107 victory over Utah.
Despite a poor shooting night, Giddey still made an impact by pulling down double-digit boards for only the second time in his last 27 games while dishing his highest assist total since Jan. 11. The third-year guard has seen his fantasy value crater this season as Chet Holmgren and Jalen Williams have both cut into his usage, and over 14 games since the All-Star break, Giddey is averaging 11.6 points, 6.3 rebounds, 4.1 assists, 1.0 threes and 0.8 steals.

Thunder's Josh Giddey: Solid display in win Friday
Rotowire
Giddey provided 11 points (5-9 FG, 1-3 3Pt), nine rebounds and six assists over 23 minutes during Friday's 107-100 win over the Heat.
Giddey finished just one rebound shy of recording a double-double, and even though he doesn't hold the same role he had on offense compared to last season due to the emergence of Chet Holmgren and Jalen Williams, he remains a player capable of stuffing the stat sheet in any given game. Giddey has scored in double digits in his four appearances this month, averaging 13.3 points, 5.3 rebounds and 4.8 assists per game in March.

Thunder's Josh Giddey: Bounces back in win
Rotowire
Giddey ended Tuesday's 112-95 win over Houston with 14 points (6-11 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds and four assists over 20 minutes.
Giddey needed a bounce-back performance like this one, as he was held to two points on 1-for-5 shooting in his previous contest against the Rockets on Sunday. He's struggled for most of February, averaging 10.6 points, 5.6 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 1.1 three-pointers on 44.1 percent shooting from the field.
Thunder's Josh Giddey: Another disappointing effort
Rotowire
Giddey totaled 11 points (3-14 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, three assists and one steal across 23 minutes during Saturday's 146-111 loss to the Mavericks.
Giddey continues to struggle, playing fewer than 28 minutes for the 10th time in the past 11 games. Despite remaining in the starting lineup, the young Australian often finds himself on the bench to close games. He remains a borderline 12-team asset, but the impending arrival of Gordon Hayward could change things moving forward.
