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.

Puts up 22 points vs. NYK Williams provided 22 points (7-11 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 7-7 FT), one rebound, two assists and one steal across 29 minutes during Sunday's 111-100 victory over the Knicks.

Impact Williams got off to a slow start and didn't score in the first quarter, but he got hot as the game progressed and delivered his best scoring mark since returning to the lineup after a hamstring injury that sidelined him for 16 games in a row between Feb. 12 and March 21. Williams has scored at least 18 points in three of his four appearances since returning to the lineup while shooting 50 percent from the floor, but just 22.2 percent from deep, in that span.

Comes close to double-double Williams totaled 18 points (8-16 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-4 FT), six rebounds, eight assists and one steal in 27 minutes during Friday's 131-113 victory over Chicago.

Impact Williams bounced back after posting a seven-point dud (2-9 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT) in the loss to the Celtics on Wednesday, and now he's scored exactly 18 points in two of his three outings since returning from his hamstring injury. Look for Williams to continue operating as one of the main secondary options on offense behind Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. From a volume perspective, it's worth noting that his 16 shot attempts were his highest since he took 17 against the Lakers on Feb. 9.
