Impact Williams will miss his first game since Oct. 27 due to a right wrist sprain. Given Tuesday's matchup is the first half of a back-to-back set, his absence could be a maintenance thing, but further clarity on the severity of the issue should surface after the game against Golden State.

Impact Williams has been one of the best players for the Thunder in recent weeks, but he took a step forward here and posted a career-best scoring figure.

He's scored at least 20 points in five of his last six appearances and is averaging 23.3 points, 4.7 rebounds, 5.3 assists and 2.3 steals per game in that span.

Dominates despite loss Williams supplied 27 points (9-16 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 8-9 FT), five rebounds, eight assists and two steals across 33 minutes during Tuesday's 123-117 loss to the Kings.

Impact Williams continues to go from strength to strength, turning in another strong two-way performance. While he doesn't receive the fanfare typically associated with a dominant rookie, Williams has been arguably the best of the bunch when it comes to fantasy value this season. He is now inside the top 100 for the season and in the top 40 over the past two months. He is locked in as a key piece for the Thunder and should be able to flirt with top-50 value ROS.

MARCH 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Good overall performance Williams produced 15 points (7-12 FG, 1-2 3Pt), two rebounds, four assists and three steals in 31 minutes during Sunday's 124-115 loss to the Kings.

Impact Williams produced fairly well across the board Sunday night. With Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (ankle/abdomen) sitting out again, the rookie still saw just his usual opportunities but shot over 57 percent for the second straight game. His three steals were a game high, and this marked his eighth straight contest with at least one takeaway. Even when the roster is back at full strength, Williams may have a lower ceiling, but he still gets enough usage and remains a nice asset in most leagues.
