Jalen Williams News, Rumors, Updates - Oklahoma City Thunder

Consistent despite shooting woes Williams amassed 19 points (7-22 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 4-8 FT), five rebounds and six assists over 37 minutes during Friday's 106-98 loss to Dallas.

Impact Williams had a rough shooting performance and needed 22 shots to score 19 points, as he operated as the Thunder's go-to weapon on offense due to the late scratch of Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (wrist). However, and despite the lack of efficiency, Williams remains a remarkably consistent player for Oklahoma City, and the potential absence of Gilgeous-Alexander could translate to a fantasy uptick for Williams at least on a short-term basis. He's scored at least 17 points in six games in a row, a span in which he's averaging 20.5 points, 5.5 assists, 5.0 rebounds and 1.7 steals per game.

Impact Williams recorded his 23rd outing with 20-plus points, and he has been a fairly consistent scorer while reaching double figures in each of his 39 regular-season appearances. The 23-year-old also posted a game-high mark in steals, and he has racked up multiple steals in 22 games thus far. The third-year pro is on pace to average career highs in points (20.6), rebounds (5.7), assists (5.2), steals (1.8), blocks (0.7) and minutes (32.4).

Fills stat sheet Friday Williams chipped in 19 points (8-16 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four rebounds, five assists, two blocks and one steal over 33 minutes during Friday's 126-101 win over the Knicks.

Impact Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Isaiah Joe carried the way for the Thunder in this comfortable 25-point win over the Knicks, but Williams made his presence felt by stuffing the stat sheet and displaying an efficient shooting touch. This was the fourth time over his last five outings in which Williams has recorded at least one tally in each of the five major categories while also scoring at least 18 points four times in that span.

JANUARY 11 • ROTOWIRE

Hands out nine assists Williams registered 25 points (9-17 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 5-7 FT), five rebounds, nine assists, one block and three steals over 36 minutes during Wednesday's 129-122 loss to the Cavaliers.

Impact Williams finished just one assist away from a double-double despite not being known for his playmaking ability, and the star forward had another impressive stat line where he filled the stat sheet. He's recorded at least one tally in the five major categories in four of his last six outings, averaging 16.8 points, 5.8 rebounds, 6.3 assists, 2.2 steals and 0.7 blocks per game in that stretch.

JANUARY 9 • ROTOWIRE

Another all-around effort Friday Williams registered 20 points (8-17 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 3-5 FT), four rebounds, five assists, one block and two steals in 38 minutes during Friday's 117-107 win over the Knicks.

Impact This was the fourth straight game in which Williams recorded at least two tallies in four of the five major categories, and he continues to thrive as the Thunder's second-best offensive weapon behind Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. His all-around ability boosts his fantasy upside, and the numbers back him up as an above-average scorer as well. He's averaging 18.7 points, 5.0 rebounds, 5.5 assists, 1.2 steals and 0.4 blocks per game over his last 10 contests.

Impact This was the fourth straight game in which Williams recorded at least two tallies in four of the five major categories, and he continues to thrive as the Thunder's second-best offensive weapon behind Shai GIlgeous-Alexander. His all-around ability certainly boosts his fantasy upside, and the numbers back him up as an above-average scorer as well. He's averaging 18.7 points, 5.0 rebounds, 5.5 assists, 1.2 steals and 0.4 blocks per game over his last 10 contests.

Solid all-around output in win Williams finished Thursday's 116-98 victory over the Clippers with 18 points (8-14 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, four assists, one block and two steals across 30 minutes.

Impact Williams made a solid two-way impact in Thursday's easy win, filling up the box score for the Thunder and hitting double digits in scoring for the 33rd consecutive game to open the season. Over his last seven games, the former first-rounder is averaging 19.4 points, 5.7 rebounds, 5.4 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.3 three-pointers in 32.4 minutes. Williams is shooting just 26.5 percent from downtown across this span, but the 23-year-old's disruptive defense should continue to translate to plenty of defensive stoppers for fantasy managers as he works his way out of this shooting slump.

Stuffs stat sheet again Williams closed Tuesday's 113-105 victory over the Timberwolves with 14 points (6-12 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 1-4 FT), seven rebounds, seven assists and three steals across 38 minutes.

Impact There's no question that Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is the driving force on offense for the Thunder, but Jalen Williams' contributions can't go overlooked. The forward, who could have a strong case to make the All-Star Game this season, has been racking up stats left and right in recent weeks. Over his last 10 games, he's averaging 19.4 points, 5.6 rebounds, 5.5 assists and 1.2 steals per tilt.

JANUARY 1 • ROTOWIRE

Comes close to triple-double Williams racked up 14 points (7-16 FG, 0-5 3Pt), 10 rebounds, eight assists, one block and two steals across 26 minutes during Sunday's 130-106 victory over the Grizzlies.

Impact Even though Shai Gilgeous-Alexander stole the show with his impressive 35-point performance, Williams made his presence felt as well and ended just two assists away from a double-double. Firmly entrenched as the Thunder's second-best option on offense, Williams does more than just put up points on the board, and his versatility is a huge plus for fantasy managers as well. He's averaging 20.8 points, 5.3 rebounds, 5.2 assists and 1.1 steals per game since the beginning of December.

Reaches 20-point marker in rout Williams ended Saturday's 106-94 win over the Hornets with 20 points (8-21 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 3-3 FT), three rebounds, six assists and one steal across 34 minutes.

Impact Williams posted his 20th game of the season with at least 20 points Saturday, also dishing out a team-high-tying six assists to help offset a subpar shooting night in the blowout win. Through 12 games this month, Williams is averaging 21.2 points, 4.8 rebounds, 4.8 assists, 1.1 steals, 0.5 blocks and 1.7 three-pointers since the calendar turned to December. The 23-year-old former first-rounder has settled in as Oklahoma City's definitive No. 2 option on offense during his third season alongside superstar Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, and the versatile Williams' unique position eligibility alongside strong contributions in each area should help him continue to return early-round fantasy value moving ahead.

Gilgeous-Alexander, Williams lead OKC past Charlotte 106-94 for 10th regular-season straight win

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander had 22 points, Jalen Williams added 20 points and the Oklahoma City Thunder defeated the Charlotte Hornets 106-94 for their 10th straight regular-season win

Scores season-high 33 points Williams logged 33 points (12-25 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 5-7 FT), six rebounds, four assists and one block in 36 minutes during Friday's 104-97 win over the Heat.

Impact Williams led the way for the Thunder and was nearly unstoppable for the Heat defense. This was his best scoring output of the season, and it was also the third time he reached the 30-point mark. Williams has established himself as the Thunder's second-best scoring weapon behind Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. He's averaging 22.4 points, 4.9 rebounds and 4.9 assists per game since the beginning of December.

Balanced performance despite loss Williams registered 18 points (8-20 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, three assists, three blocks and two steals across 34 minutes during Tuesday's 97-81 loss to the Bucks.

Impact Williams cobbled together another strong two-way performance, albeit in a losing effort. The Bucks were far too good for the Thunder, a disappointing end to what had been a fantastic In-Season Tournament for the team from Oklahoma City. Despite the loss, the Thunder remain arguably the team to beat in the West, and Williams should continue to serve as a key piece on both ends of the floor.

DECEMBER 18, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Another 20-point performance Williams logged 20 points (8-20 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, five assists and one steal over 39 minutes during Saturday's 111-96 victory over the Rockets.

Impact Williams continues to shine brightly for the Thunder, delivering another 20-point performance, his 17th of the season. Although Shai Gilgeous-Alexander frequently garners a lot of media attention, Williams is quietly putting together an elite season himself. Through the first 25 games, Williams is putting up career-high numbers across the board, averaging 21.7 points, 6.1 rebounds, 5.0 assists, 2.0 steals and 2.0 three-pointers.

DECEMBER 15, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Shines as two-way threat Williams ended Saturday's 119-109 win over the Pelicans with 27 points (10-19 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 3-5 FT), six rebounds, five assists and four steals over 35 minutes.

Impact Williams is among the league leaders in the steals department and has notched multiple swipes in all but two of his last nine contests. However, he does far more than contribute on the defensive end. Williams has also posted at least 20 points in four games in a row, and in eight of his last 10 contests. He's firmly entrenched as the Thunder's second-best offensive option behind Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, but his contributions in other categories boost his value even further.

Another well-rounded effort Williams provided 20 points (6-13 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 6-6 FT), seven rebounds and two assists in 28 minutes during Thursday's 129-92 victory over Toronto.

Impact Williams has been an absolute stud across all formats this season, and he continues to deliver excellent value while being firmly entrenched as the Thunder's second-best option on offense behind Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. Williams has also been remarkably consistent, as he's reached the 20-point mark in seven of his last nine appearances.
