Grant Williams News, Rumors, Updates - Charlotte Hornets

Nearly secures double-double Williams registered 20 points (7-10 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds and one assist across 29 minutes during Thursday's 105-101 loss to the Rockets.

Impact Williams fell just one rebound shy of his first double-double of the season after putting together a strong all-around performance. He's looked sharp in two starts while filling in for Miles Bridges (suspension), and he led the Hornets in points, rebounds and made treys Thursday night. Williams will have a more opportunities to produce while Bridges serves the final two games of his four-game suspension.

Starting sans Bridges Williams will start Wednesday's game against the Hawks.

Strong performance in loss Williams racked up 12 points (3-6 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 4-4 FT), two rebounds, five assists, one block and one steal in 25 minutes during Monday's 110-104 loss to the Pistons.

Impact With Miles Bridges facing a suspension, and likely Moussa Diabate as well, Williams could be asked to step into a larger role for the Hornets, much like he had Monday. Williams is certainly on the radar as a short-term streaming option, but his workloads are unlikely to be massive with the team exercising caution with his knee.

Flirts with double-double Williams produced 16 points (5-7 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), nine rebounds and one assist over 20 minutes during Monday's 102-95 victory over the Pelicans.

Impact Williams had easily his best game of the season, falling one rebound short of a double-double. Since returning from a knee injury, Williams has slotted into a reliable, yet underwhelming bench role. In 10 appearances since getting back on the court, he has averaged 5.8 points and 4.0 rebounds in 17.7 minutes per game. We would need to see more efforts like this one before considering him a viable fantasy asset.
