Cody Williams News, Rumors, Updates - Utah Jazz

Crashes back to earth in loss Williams contributed seven points (3-6 FG, 1-2 3Pt), five rebounds, two assists and one steal over 25 minutes during Wednesday's 147-111 loss to the Timberwolves.

Impact Williams was unable to repeat his 34-point performance from three nights earlier, instead turning in arguably his worst performance in the past two weeks. With that said, Williams' role appears relatively safe. In seven appearances over the past two weeks, he has been a top 100 talent in standard leagues, averaging 15.4 points, 5.4 rebounds, 4.7 assists, 1.0 steals and 1.0 three-pointers.

Erupts for career-high 34 in loss Williams totaled 34 points (12-20 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 7-8 FT), seven rebounds, seven assists, one block and one steal in 38 minutes during Sunday's 116-111 loss to the Kings.

Impact The second-year wing led the Utah offense on the night and shattered his previous career scoring high of 19, set Friday in Portland. Williams has taken on a much larger role for the injury-ravaged Jazz in March, playing at least 36 minutes in six straight games while averaging 16.8 points, 5.5 boards, 5.2 assists, 1.0 steals and 1.0 threes and shooting 51.4 percent from the floor.

Cody Williams' breakout performance is bigger deal than Jazz fans think Williams put up a career-high last night, but it wasn't lightning in a bottle.

Drops career-high 19 in loss Williams logged 19 points (7-17 FG, 5-7 FT), seven rebounds, three assists and one steal over 36 minutes during Friday's 124-114 loss to Portland.

Impact The 19 points were a career high for the second-year wing. Williams has scored in double digits in five straight games as he handles a bigger workload for the shorthanded Jazz, averaging 13.4 points, 5.2 boards, 4.8 assists and 1.0 steals in a massive 38.0 minutes over that span. With Lauri Markkanen (hip) still sidelined and Ace Bailey exiting Friday's game early due to concussion symptoms, Williams should continue to get leaned on heavily in the short term.

Matches season high in assists Williams had 12 points (5-12 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, seven assists and one block over 43 minutes during Monday's 119-116 win over the Warriors.

Impact Williams capitalized on the absence of Isaiah Collier (illness) on Monday, tying a season high in assists. Williams is starting to handle heavy playing time for the Jazz, averaging 11.8 points, 5.8 rebounds, 4.8 assists and 1.0 steals in 36.1 minutes per game across his last four appearances.

Records first career double-double Williams closed with 13 points (4-12 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 11 rebounds, two assists and two steals across 37 minutes during Saturday's 113-99 loss to the Bucks.

Impact The shooting and scoring woes have plagued Williams throughout his two-year career in the NBA -- even if his percentages have been better in his sophomore year -- and this loss Saturday was just another example of that. Williams did score in double digits for a second straight game, something he hadn't done since early February, and also posted the first double-double of his career, so there's some silver lining for the second-year forward out of Colorado.

Phased out in defeat Williams contributed three points (1-1 FG, 1-2 FT), one rebound, one assist and one steal over 11 minutes during Monday's 128-125 loss to the Nuggets.

Impact Despite starting, Williams ended up playing the fewest minutes of any active player for the Jazz on Monday. The second-year forward remains difficult to trust from a fantasy perspective, averaging 4.8 points, 2.8 rebounds and 1.5 assists in 23.1 minutes per tilt across his last six games.

Nearly invisible Monday Williams notched two points (1-3 FG) across 14 minutes during Monday's 125-105 loss to the Rockets.

Impact Brice Sensabaugh and John Konchar both played more minutes, suggesting Williams has a tenuous grip on the starting role. Williams hasn't scored in double figures since the Feb. 3 victory against the Pacers, so fantasy managers can almost certainly find more appealing streaming options.

Joining starting five Williams is starting Thursday's game against Portland.

Impact Williams will step into the starting lineup with the Jazz missing the majority of their first unit Thursday night. He's averaging 9.0 points, 3.4 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 1.4 steals and 1.0 blocks in his last seven showings as a starter.

FEBRUARY 13 • ROTOWIRE

Stable source of steals Williams amassed nine points (4-6 FG, 1-2 3Pt), five rebounds, two assists and three steals across 25 minutes during Wednesday's 121-93 victory over Sacramento.

Impact Williams is carving out a steady role for himself, but his style of play isn't translating into much fantasy relevance on the whole. The forward has averaged 7.4 points, 3.2 rebounds and 1.4 steals in 26.4 minutes per contest in his last 10 games, so his appeal is very limited outside of swipes.

Not starting vs. Orlando Williams won't start against the Magic on Saturday, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

Impact After starting each of his last 15 appearances, Williams will retreat to the second unit Saturday. Over 23 outings off the bench this season, the second-year forward has averaged 4.0 points and 1.4 rebounds in 13.7 minutes per contest.

Struggles offensively Williams provided five points (2-9 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, two assists, three blocks and one steal across 38 minutes during Thursday's 121-119 loss to the Hawks.

Impact Williams has been playing a sizable role with the Jazz, and that's expected to continue going forward. His fantasy appeal leaves a lot to be desired, however. Over his last six games, Williams is averaging 30.3 minutes per contest with 8.5 points, 2.8 rebounds, 1.2 assists, 1.5 steals and 1.2 blocks on 52.5 percent shooting from the field.

Questionable for Friday Williams (illness) is questionable to face the Nets on Friday.

Impact Williams missed Wednesday's loss to the Warriors with an illness, and now he's in danger of sitting out his second straight game. We'll have a better idea of Williams' status based on his activity level at shootaround, but if he is forced to spend another game on the sidelines, his minutes would be split up between Brice Sensabaugh and Walter Clayton.

Iffy for Wednesday Williams (illness) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Warriors.

Impact Williams was a late addition to the injury report for the second leg of this back-to-back set. The forward has been underwhelming in recent outings, averaging 8.9 points, 4.1 rebounds and 1.1 assists on 52.5 percent shooting from the field in 27.5 minutes over his last eight games.

Impact Williams continues to see heavy run for the Jazz, but his fantasy value leaves a lot to be desired. Over his last eight games, he's averaging 8.9 points, 4.1 rebounds and 1.1 assists on 52.5 percent shooting from the field in 27.5 minutes per contest.

Sees big workload in loss Williams notched six points (3-6 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 0-2 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and two blocks in 31 minutes during Wednesday's 128-126 loss to the Bulls.

Impact Despite a quiet night in terms of scoring, Williams was able to have a notable impact with his playmaking and defense. He was overshadowed by a career-best night from Brice Sensabaugh, however. Over his last seven games, Williams has posted averages of 8.0 points, 3.3 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 0.6 three-pointers in 22.1 minutes per contest.
