Given that Josh Giddey is questionable on the injury report, the assumption is he will be suiting up against the Clippers. Giddey has been a fixture on the injury report these days, but much of it has been very recent.

On Dec. 29, Giddey injured his hamstring during the Bulls’ game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. He was taken out after playing 18 minutes and scored 11 points. Ultimately, the Bulls lost 136-101. Since then, Giddey has missed the last ten games.

Meanwhile, Chicago has gone 5-5 during this ten-game stretch. Their most recent win came on Sunday at home against the Brooklyn Nets, 124-102. Giddey has played in 30 games and is averaging 19.2 points, 9.0 assists, and 8.9 rebounds per game.

Williams has played in 39 games and is averaging 6.5 points and 3.0 rebounds. He has had some consistent performances coming off the bench. Williams scored 15 points, shot 6-for-9 from the field, and was 3-for-5 from the three-point line in a 121-114 win over the Orlando Magic on Jan. 2.

On Jan. 14, Williams scored 13 points, was 4-for-6 from the field, and 3-for-3 from three in a 128-126 win over the Utah Jazz.

On Monday, Giddey was listed as questionable, a positive sign for the Bulls.

So when it comes to the question of if Josh Giddey is playing tonight vs. the Clippers, the answer is probably.
