Cody Williams News, Rumors, Updates - Utah Jazz

Chips in 15 points in loss Williams finished Saturday's 150-95 loss to Charlotte with 15 points (5-9 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 4-5 FT) and two rebounds in 32 minutes.

Impact Williams got the starting nod for a second consecutive contest and finished as Utah's third-leading scorer on efficient shooting from the field. However, he also recorded an abysmal minus-60 point differential. The second-year forward has logged double-digit minutes in eight straight games, though Ace Bailey's (hip) eventual return to action and a normal workload should significantly eat into Williams' minutes.

Sees 22 minutes in start Williams supplied eight points (4-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt), three rebounds, four assists and two steals over 22 minutes during Thursday's 116-114 win over the Mavericks.

Impact Williams made his first start of the season with Ace Bailey and Jusuf Nurkic sitting out the second leg of this back-to-back set for maintenance. It's no secret that Williams has struggled in Utah, though Thursday's outing was a positive step in the right direction. Fantasy managers in deeper formats can monitor him from the waiver wire for now.

Logs season-high 26 minutes Williams produced 18 points (6-10 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 4-5 FT) and one block in 26 minutes during Thursday's 118-101 loss to the Clippers.

Impact Williams saw an increase in playing time as the Jazz were short-handed and dealing with multiple injuries. The 21-year-old forward has played double-digit minutes in three straight games with Ace Bailey (hip) sidelined and was impactful as a scorer in Thursday's loss to the Clippers with a season-high 18 points. Williams' minutes should remain steady as long as Bailey is out, but his overall fantasy appeal remains limited.

Quiet outing in loss Williams contributed two points (0-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT) over 13 minutes during Tuesday's 129-119 loss to Boston.

Impact With Ace Bailey (hip) sidelined, Williams logged double-digit minutes for a second consecutive game. However, the second-year forward struggled to find his rhythm Tuesday after shooting 4-for-8 from the field in Saturday's win over the Spurs. Williams may continue to see increased playing time for as long as Bailey is sidelined, though the former still carries very little value from a fantasy standpoint.
