BRANDON WILLIAMS NEWS

Struggles again Wednesday Williams racked up seven points (3-7 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-1 FT), two rebounds and two assists in 14 minutes during Wednesday's 118-108 victory over the Heat.

Impact Williams scored single digits for the second straight game, both of which he has played fewer than 15 minutes. With Ryan Nembhard thriving as the new starting point guard, Williams has seemingly taken a back seat, resulting in a dip in his production. In four games over the past week, Williams has averaged just 8.5 points, 4.0 assists and 1.0 steals in 19.2 minutes per contest.

Available to play Williams (adductor) is available for Monday's matchup with the Nuggets.

Questionable against Denver Williams is questionable for Monday's game against the Nuggets due to a left adductor strain.

Hits for 14 points off bench Williams logged 14 points (5-14 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 4-5 FT), one rebound, seven assists, one block and three steals over 26 minutes during Saturday's 114-110 victory over the Clippers.

Impact Williams provided solid backcourt support in the win, marking his second consecutive game with the second unit. The decision to start Ryan Nembhard over Williams appears to be a permanent one despite four consecutive double-digit scoring totals over the past week. His average of 4.1 assists per game is a little low for a starting point guard, and that's a likely reason for the switch.

Heading to bench Friday Williams is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Lakers.

Impact Williams will head to the bench since head coach Jason Kidd has decided to start Ryan Nembhard at point guard instead. Williams is averaging 8.6 points, 2.1 assists, 1.6 boards and 1.8 steals per game when playing off the bench.

Plays 21 minutes as starter Williams closed with 12 points (4-13 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), two rebounds, five assists and one steal over 21 minutes during Monday's 106-102 loss to the Heat.

Impact Williams shook off a questionable tag to suit up Monday, but he played only 21 minutes as a starter. He's played 28 or fewer minutes in four of his past five games, and rookie Ryan Nembhard, who returned to action Monday and dished out seven assists, could start to eat into Williams' minutes even more if he continues to struggle with his shot. Williams is shooting only 28.8 percent from the field over that aforementioned five-game stretch.

Good to go Monday Williams (back) is available for Monday's game against the Heat.

Impact Williams is dealing with back tightness, but he's giving it a go for the injury-riddled Mavericks on Monday. The guard has averaged 11.8 points, 4.4 assists, 2.8 rebounds and 1.8 steals in 24.8 minutes per game across his last 13 outings, making him worth streaming in most fantasy leagues.

Seen at shootaround Monday Williams (back) was present for Monday's shootaround against the Heat, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports.

Impact Williams is in danger of missing his first game this season, but his attendance in Monday morning's shootaround is an encouraging sign that he may still suit up. If Williams is downgraded to out prior to tipoff, D'Angelo Russell and Jaden Hardy will likely see extended playing time as a result.

Iffy for Monday Williams (back) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Heat.

Impact Williams is dealing with low-back tightness and is in jeopardy of missing his first game since Oct. 27. If the 26-year-old point guard is ultimately ruled out, D'Angelo Russell and Jaden Hardy are candidates for increased playing time.

Improved offensive effort Williams racked up 18 points (6-11 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three rebounds, four assists and one steal in 32 minutes during Saturday's 102-96 loss to the Grizzlies.

Impact Williams got back on track, scoring 18 points on 6-for-11 shooting after going 1-for-12 in his previous appearance. Although his overall production has been somewhat inconsistent, as the starting point guard in Dallas, he should be rostered in most formats. Over his past eight games, Williams has averaged 13.1 points, 3.9 rebounds, 5.6 assists and 1.4 steals in 27.5 minutes per contest.

Tallies 15 points Williams produced 15 points (4-12 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 6-6 FT), five rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal over 24 minutes during Monday's 120-96 loss to Minnesota.

Impact Williams wasn't great from the field Monday but made up for it at the free-throw line, converting all six of his attempts from the charity stripe. Since moving into the starting lineup Nov. 10, the 25-year-old has averaged 14.6 points, 5.0 assists, 4.2 rebounds and 1.6 steals in 27.8 minutes across five games. D'Angelo Russell continues to log significant backcourt minutes off the bench, but Williams has outperformed him recently.

Just misses double-double Williams finished Wednesday's 123-114 loss to the Suns with 17 points (7-13 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 3-3 FT), five rebounds, nine assists and three steals in 33 minutes.

Impact Making his second straight start, Williams fell one dime shy of his first double-double of the season, and first since joining the Mavericks ahead of the 2023-24 campaign. The fourth-year guard continues to see his workload and usage rise for the injury-ravaged squad, and over the last five games he's averaging 14.2 points, 4.8 assists, 3.0 boards and 2.4 steals in 26.6 minutes a contest.

Impresses in first start of season Williams logged 19 points (4-12 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 10-11 FT), six rebounds, three assists and one steal across 33 minutes during Monday's 116-114 loss to Milwaukee.

Impact Williams moved to the starting lineup Monday while pushing D'Angelo Russell to a bench role, and it's safe to say the 25-year-old floor general left a good impression even if his shooting numbers weren't very efficient. Williams has scored in double digits in all but one of his last seven outings and should continue to have streaming-level upside -- in the worst-case scenario -- in most formats.
