Chicago Bulls guard Josh Giddey is putting together one of the most impressive individual stretches of the NBA season. While the Bulls continue navigating a difficult campaign, Giddey’s recent performances have stood out across the league.
In his latest outing, the Australian guard delivered another balanced performance with 16 points, 15 rebounds, and 13 assists. He shot 6-for-12 from the field and finished the night with a strong +25 plus-minus.
The performance marked his fifth triple-double in the last seven games, an achievement that places him among the league’s most productive players this month.
Despite Chicago dealing with injuries and roster challenges, the Bulls have managed a respectable 3-4 record during this recent stretch.
Giddey’s Triple-Double Surge
Giddey’s recent form has been remarkable. Over the past few games, he has consistently contributed across scoring, playmaking, and rebounding.
| Recent Game | Points | Assists | Rebounds |
|---|---|---|---|
| vs MIL | 20 | 10 | 14 |
| vs OKC | 14 | 9 | 9 |
| @ SAC | 15 | 10 | 12 |
| @ GSW | 21 | 17 | 13 |
| @ LAL | 27 | 15 | 8 |
| @ LAC | 20 | 10 | 11 |
| vs MEM | 16 | 13 | 15 |
These performances highlight his ability to impact multiple areas of the game. Giddey has become the offensive engine for Chicago, regularly controlling the tempo and creating scoring opportunities.
His 17-assist performance against Golden State also marked a career high.

Among the NBA’s Best This Month
Giddey’s recent triple-double streak has placed him alongside some of the league’s biggest stars.
| Category | Stat |
|---|---|
| Triple-doubles in last 7 games | 5 |
| Bulls record in that span | 3-4 |
| Triple-doubles this month | Tied for most in NBA |
| Career triple-doubles | 30 |
His five triple-doubles this month tie him with Nikola Jokic for the most in the league during that period.
In addition, Giddey now sits just behind Atlanta Hawks forward Jalen Johnson for the second-most triple-doubles in the 2025-26 season. What makes the achievement even more notable is that Giddey has played 15 fewer games than Johnson this year.
Climbing the NBA Record Books
With his latest performance, Giddey has reached an important milestone in his career.
| Milestone | Achievement |
|---|---|
| Career Triple-Doubles | 30 |
| NBA All-Time Rank | 19th |
| Active Players with 30+ Triple-Doubles | 9 |
By reaching 30 career triple-doubles, Giddey has moved ahead of legendary players Michael Jordan and Grant Hill on the all-time list.
This milestone places him among a very small group of active players who have reached that mark.

Historic Achievement Before Age 24
One of the most remarkable aspects of Giddey’s accomplishment is his age.
He has now become just the fourth player in NBA history to record 30 or more triple-doubles before turning 24 years old.
| Player | Achievement |
|---|---|
| Oscar Robertson | 30+ triple-doubles before 24 |
| Magic Johnson | 30+ triple-doubles before 24 |
| Luka Doncic | 30+ triple-doubles before 24 |
| Josh Giddey | 30+ triple-doubles before 24 |
Joining a list that includes Oscar Robertson, Magic Johnson, and Luka Doncic places Giddey in rare historical company.
Impact Beyond the Box Score
Giddey’s influence is also reflected in advanced team metrics. His on-court impact has improved significantly this season.
| Category | Value |
|---|---|
| On/Off Differential | +3.1 |
| Previous Career High | +0.3 |
The improved differential suggests that the Bulls perform better when Giddey is on the floor, highlighting his growing role as a core piece of the team’s future.

Continued Development as a Scorer
Beyond playmaking and rebounding, Giddey has shown progress in other areas of his offensive game.
He is attacking the basket more aggressively and drawing more fouls than earlier in his career. This season he is averaging a career high in free-throw attempts.
His outside shooting has also improved. Giddey is hitting three-point shots at the best rate of his career while taking more attempts than before.
These improvements suggest that his recent performances are not simply a short hot streak but may represent a genuine step forward in his development.
A Promising Future for Chicago
While the Bulls continue searching for consistency as a team, Giddey’s performances provide a strong positive sign for the franchise.
His ability to score, rebound, and create for teammates makes him one of the most versatile young guards in the league. If this recent stretch continues, Giddey could become one of the key building blocks for Chicago’s future.
For now, his recent run of triple-doubles has placed him firmly among the NBA’s most productive players and added another impressive chapter to his young career.
