Josh Giddey plays 11 minutes in series finale

Josh Giddey shot 1-of-3 from the field in Saturday's 117-116 loss to Dallas, accounting for two points, four rebounds, and one assist in 11 minutes.

Analysis: After playing well in the final three games of Oklahoma City's four-game sweep of New Orleans, Giddey offered little value against the Mavericks. He played 17 minutes in the series opener and no more than 13 in any of the five games that followed. For Games 5 and 6, Thunder coach Mark Daigneault replaced Giddey in the starting lineup with Isaiah Joe due to the need for a floor spacer. The former lottery pick is eligible for a rookie-level extension this summer, but it's fair to wonder if he's the âodd man outâ in Oklahoma City. Giddey, who had a Yahoo ADP of 58.9, finished the regular season ranked well outside the top 100. If he remains with the Thunder, he shouldn't be selected with a top 100 pick.

Josh Giddey logs 12 minutes in Game 4 victory

Josh Giddey only logged 12 minutes on Monday and finished with five points (2-of-8 FGs), two assists, one steal, one block and one triple against Dallas.

Analysis: Giddey played well over the final three games of their first round sweep of the Pelicans, but he hasn't been able to replicate that success against Dallas. He has been a liability on both ends of the floor, which has resulted in him playing just 13.3 minutes per game through the first four games. Mark Daigneault hasn't moved him to a reserve role yet, but he has basically been splitting minutes with Aaron Wiggins, Isaiah Joe and Cason Wallace. Joe ended up starting the second half in place of Giddey in this one. Don't expect Daigneault to make a starting lineup change now, but all four players should continue to see minutes in the low teens, with the hot hand seeing a larger role.
