Will be on minutes restriction Giddey will be held to approximately 30 minutes going forward, Joe Mussatto of The Oklahoman reports. He finished Monday's game againt the Warriors with 16 points (6-16 FG, 0-3 3Pt...

Impact Giddey saw fewer minutes than Tre Mann (35), Luguentz Dort (38) and Darius Bazley (37) in the loss, and this should continue to be the case at least for the next few games. It sounds as though the Thunder want to keep Giddey from burning out this early in the season, and it's certainly not out of the question for the coaching staff to lift this restriction later on. Ty Jerome and Mann should benefit from a minutes perspective in the meantime.

Impact Giddey led Oklahoma City in scoring in the contest, posting a career-best point total in the process. The rookie also led the team in assists.

With Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (ankle) sidelined, Giddey has emerged as OKC's primary initiator, and he holds averages of 14.8 points, 9.0 rebounds, 5.5 assists and 1.0 steals over the last four contests. He does have 16 turnovers during that span, however.

Impact Giddey was the only player to collect double-digit boards in the contest, and he finished with his second straight double-double.

Giddey finishes January with per-game averages of 13.3 points, 8.6 boards, 6.1 assists, 1.4 three-pointers and 1.0 steals on the month. He should have an even greater opportunity to thrive at the start of February with Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (ankle) expected to be out through the All-Star break.

Off night in loss Giddey finished with eight points (3-12 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five rebounds, three assists and two steals over 34 minutes before fouling out of Saturday's 94-87 loss to Cleveland.

Impact Giddey put in 34 minutes of work but ended up with his worst scoring total of the month in the defeat. He shot an abysmal 25 percent from the floor and was 1-of-6 from three-point range. The Thunder depend on Giddey, as their second-best scoring option behind Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, and while this blip on the radar is worthy of some concern, Giddey's line is an outlier among his other performances this season.

The Australian's nine points Wednesday snapped a streak of eight straight games in double figures offensively.
