The Oklahoma City Thunder have secured homecourt advantage for the playoffs thanks to their league-best 64-18 record

Benefits from expanded role Williams logged 15 points (7-22 FG, 1-6 3Pt), 12 rebounds, one assist and two steals in 32 minutes during Friday's 127-107 loss to the Nuggets.

Impact The Thunder were down nearly all of their starters, so Williams logged over 30 minutes for the first time since the 116-106 loss to San Antonio on Feb 4. With Oklahoma City looking to stay healthy, Williams may see more minutes until the end of the regular season, although he will likely return to a limited role during the playoffs.

Drops 13 points in win Williams closed Saturday's 104-97 victory over Golden State with 13 points (5-9 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), seven rebounds and one assist in 19 minutes.

Impact Williams logged a handful of extra minutes, scoring double digits for just the second time in his past nine games. As Oklahoma City continues to manipulate its rotation, Williams should be able to maintain a backend role. With that said, fantasy managers should view him as nothing more than a schedule-based streaming option.

Gilgeous-Alexander scores 27 as the Thunder beat the Warriors 104-97 for 5th straight win

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander scored 27 points, and the Oklahoma City Thunder defeated the Golden State Warriors 104-97 for their fifth straight win

MARCH 8 • Associated Press

Left out of rotation Williams (coach's decision) went unused off the bench Friday in the Thunder's 127-121 overtime win over the Nuggets.

Impact The Thunder welcomed Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (abdomen) back from a nine-game absence Friday, and his return along with the game being tightly contested throughout left no room in the rotation for Williams. The veteran forward had previously appeared in each of Oklahoma City's previous 33 contests, averaging 7.2 points, 3.5 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1.0 three-pointers in 16.3 minutes. While Williams should be first in line to rejoin the rotation if Oklahoma City is down a key player at any point moving forward, his path to steady playing time will only become more blocked once the likes of Ajay Mitchell (ankle/abdomen) and Jalen Williams (hamstring) return to the mix.

Coming off bench Friday Williams is not in the Thunder's starting lineup against the Nets on Friday, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.

Impact Williams started in the Thunder's final game before the All-Star break against the Bucks on Feb. 12, when he played 23 minutes and finished with nine points, eight rebounds and one assist. He'll revert to the bench for Friday's contest due to the return of Isaiah Hartenstein (calf).

FEBRUARY 21 • ROTOWIRE

Running with first unit Williams is in the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Bucks, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.

Impact Williams will re-join the starting lineup after coming off the bench in three consecutive matchups. He should be in line for an increase in opportunities Thursday with Jalen Williams (hamstring) and Isaiah Hartenstein (calf) sidelined.

Jalen Williams scores 28 points and the Thunder cruise past the Suns, 136-109

Out of starting lineup Williams is not in the Thunder's starting lineup against the Rockets on Saturday, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.

Impact Williams made his first start of the season in Wednesday's 116-106 loss to the Spurs, when he finished with 25 points, nine rebounds, two assists and one steal over 35 minutes. He'll revert to a bench role Saturday due to the returns of Aaron Wiggins and Chet Holmgren.

Season-high 25 points Williams registered 25 points (9-18 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 3-4 FT), nine rebounds, two assists and one steal in 35 minutes during Wednesday's 116-106 loss to the Spurs.

Impact Williams made the most of his opportunity, falling one rebound short of a double-double, including a season-high 25 points. With Oklahoma City opting to rest a number of its stars, Williams was one of many players to step up. While this was certainly a strong performance, production like this shouldn't be expected moving forward. At best, he can be streamed in for similar situations.

Starting Wednesday Williams is part of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Spurs, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.

Pops for 18 in Milwaukee Williams amassed 18 points (8-13 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 0-1 FT), eight rebounds and two assists across 28 minutes off the bench during Wednesday's 122-102 win over the Bucks.

Impact It's the second time in 11 January games that Williams has played more than 20 minutes, and he's produced strong numbers each time -- he dropped 21 points and eight boards on the Grizzlies over 29 minutes Jan. 9. The veteran forward might see more such opportunities as the Thunder's depth continues to be tested by injuries, with Isaiah Hartenstein (calf), Jaylin Williams (back), Jalen Williams (hamstring), Aaron Wiggins (groin) and others all missing Wednesday's contest.

Nets 21 points with eight rebounds Williams produced 21 points (8-13 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 2-3 FT), eight rebounds and two steals across 29 minutes during Friday's 117-116 win over the Grizzlies.

Impact Williams saw just eight minutes of action his last time out, but with Chet Holmgren (shins), Jaylin Williams (heel) and Isaiah Hartenstein (calf) unavailable, Williams was able to carve out a larger role in the rotation. He made the most of his minutes, but Williams' playing time is too inconsistent in Oklahoma City to justify a roster spot in fantasy leagues.

Strong night off bench Williams closed Monday's 124-97 loss to the Hornets with eight points (3-6 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 0-2 FT), three rebounds, two assists and two steals across 17 minutes.

Impact The Thunder are dealing with several injuries these days, but Williams' minutes haven't really gone up much. Over his last four games, he's averaging 11.9 minutes per contest with 4.0 points, 2.5 rebounds and 2.0 assists.
