Josh Giddey is available to play against the Dallas Mavericks on Saturday. The Bulls guard is not listed on the injury report and participated in the Bulls' 119-117 win over the LA Lakers on Thursday.
Chicago is on a four-game win streak and Giddey has played a key role. The former OKC Thunder guard has assumed the role of a court general and has been an assist machine in the last three games.
The Bulls traded Alex Caruso to acquire Giddey in the offseason despite having Coby White and Zach LaVine in the backcourt. The trade turned out to be a good one for the team as Giddey's presence allowed White to play off the ball.

Having Giddey also allowed the Bulls to trade LaVine to the Sacramento Kings ahead of the NBA trade deadline and got a 2025 draft first-round pick and three solid roleplayers in Zach Collins, Tre Jones and Kevin Huerter.
