Comfortable performance Sunday Williams ended with 22 points (9-15 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, six assists, one block and one steal over 29 minutes during Sunday's 119-84 victory over Phoenix in Game 1...

Impact Williams put together an impressive stat line, getting it done on both ends of the floor. After a season riddled with injuries, it was good to see Williams back to his best. Given how dominant Oklahoma City has been this season, a healthy Williams is certainly a scary thought for any potential opponents. Look for him to continue his strong play when the two teams meet again Wednesday.

Won't play in regular-season finale Williams (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Phoenix.

Impact Williams will sit out Sunday's regular-season finale, marking his second consecutive absence due to right hamstring injury management. However, the star forward should be able to return for the playoffs. With Oklahoma City set to be shorthanded Sunday, Aaron Wiggins, Brooks Barnhizer and Payton Sandfort should all see increased run once again.

Sitting vs. Denver Williams is out for Friday's game against the Nuggets due to right hamstring injury management, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.

Impact This appears to be a scheduled rest night for Williams, as the Thunder already have the No. 1 seed locked up. He'll have a chance to return for the regular-season finale Sunday against the Suns.

Productive in Wednesday's win Williams closed with 18 points (7-12 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 4-4 FT), six rebounds, six assists and two steals in 32 minutes during Wednesday's 128-110 victory over the Clippers.

Impact After sitting out the front half of a back-to-back Tuesday, Williams was back in the lineup and handled his biggest workload in seven games since returning from a hamstring strain. OKC's focus has been on making sure the fourth-year forward was 100 percent for the playoffs, so Williams' court time could be erratic over the final two games of the regular season. Since getting back on the court in late March, he's averaging 15.4 points, 5.7 assists, 4.4 boards and 0.9 steals in 25.9 minutes while shooting 50.6 percent from the floor.

Won't play vs. Lakers Williams (hamstring) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Lakers.

Impact Williams will sit out the front end of this back-to-back set due to right hamstring injury management, and his next chance to play will come Wednesday against the Clippers. With the star forward sidelined, Cason Wallace and Ajay Mitchell are candidates to step into the starting five, while Alex Caruso and Aaron Wiggins could see increased playing time.

Goes for 15 points Williams ended with 15 points (5-9 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), two rebounds and seven assists over 26 minutes during Sunday's 146-111 win over Utah.

Impact Williams was limited to just 26 minutes in a blowout win for OKC, but the star forward should continue to see regular playing time in the final week of the regular season just to be as ready as possible for the postseason. Williams returned from a hamstring injury March 23 and has played six games since then, averaging 15.0 points, 4.2 rebounds and 5.7 assists per game. The main priority for the Thunder is to have Williams as healthy as possible for the upcoming playoff run, but from a fantasy perspective, his numbers have been a disappointment compared to his All-Star campaign in 2024-25.

Modest workload in win Williams accumulated 10 points (4-10 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds, eight assists and two steals across 23 minutes during Thursday's 139-96 victory over the Lakers.

Impact Williams was held out of Monday's game against Detroit for injury management for the second leg of a back-to-back set, but he was back with the starters Thursday. His minutes were held in check, though it was mostly due to the lopsided score with the Thunder winning by 43 points.

Off injury report for Thursday Williams (hamstring) is not listed on the injury report for Thursday's game against the Lakers.

Impact After sitting out Monday's matchup against Detroit for injury management on the second night of a back-to-back, Williams is cleared to return to action. The 24-year-old forward had played in four straight games since returning from a 16-game absence due to a right hamstring strain, most recently posting an efficient 22 points across 29 minutes against the Knicks on Sunday. With a few days of rest under his belt, fantasy managers can expect Williams to take on his usual workload as a primary scoring option alongside Shai Gilgeous-Alexander against Los Angeles.
