Adds 22 points in victory Williams finished with 22 points (8-13 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds, five assists and two steals in 28 minutes during Saturday's 138-120 win over the Jazz.

Impact Williams drew another start Saturday with Cooper Flagg (ankle) sidelined and managed to remain locked in on both ends of the court. He's now put up 18 or more points in four of his last five appearances and was more involved than he typically is as a passer. Look for Williams to continue in this elevated role until Flagg is cleared to return.

Back in starting lineup Williams is in the Mavericks' starting lineup against the Jazz on Thursday.

Impact Williams will make his 10th start of the season Thursday (and first since Nov. 24 against the Heat) due to the absences of Cooper Flagg (ankle) and Max Christie (illness). Williams is coming off his fifth 20-point-plus performance of the season Wednesday against the Nuggets, and over his last seven outings he has averaged 16.7 points, 4.6 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 0.9 steals over 24.1 minutes per game.

Impact Williams reached 20 points for the fifth time this campaign, as he was able to step up in the absence of Cooper Flagg (ankle) who left this game after 15 minutes. Williams is averaging 13.8 points, 5.2 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.0 steals in 21.7 minutes over his last five games, and he'll be a solid streaming option against Utah on Thursday if the Mavericks are shorthanded once again.
