Will play reserve role Williams will come off the bench in Friday's game against the Warriors.

Impact Williams will come off the bench for the first time this season, as he has started in all 21 games he has played. The Bulls are shaking up their starting lineup and opting to go with Javonte Green at power forward instead.

Struggles mightily in loss Williams ended Wednesday's 132-113 loss to the Suns with two points (0-8 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one block across 28 minutes.

Impact Williams was a disaster in the loss, delivering arguably his worst game of the season. After a period of relevance, it's been a rough few games for Williams, who is sitting outside the top 200 over the past week. His role remains secure enough, so if you are rostering him, a little patience may be required. With that said, his upside is limited.

7 takeaways from the Chicago Bulls' 121-107 win over the Boston Celtics that snapped a 4-game skid, including Patrick Williams' season-high night The Chicago Bulls snapped a four-game skid with a 121-107 win over the Eastern Conference-leading Boston Celtics.

Pops for 17 points Monday Williams racked up 17 points (6-9 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds and one steal in 26 minutes during Monday's 121-107 victory over Boston.

Impact Williams scored a season-high 17 points in the win, the third time in his last four games in which he has ended with double-digits. After a slow start to the season, he is beginning to creep into the standard league discussion. He has put up top 110 value over the past week thanks to increased production on the offensive end of the floor. While he is not a must-add player, managers looking for a player with a secure role could certainly do worse.

Says he'll play Friday Williams (ankle) told reporters that he will play in Friday's game against the Magic, Rob Schaefer of NBC Sports Chicago reports.

Impact Williams has yet to miss a game this season, and it doesn't appear that will change Friday despite the forward rolling his ankle in Wednesday's loss to the Pelicans. Through 15 games, Williams is averaging 9.0 points, 3.7 rebounds and 1.1 blocks across 25.1 minutes per contest.

NOVEMBER 18, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable vs. Magic Williams is questionable for Friday's game against the Magic due to a sprained right ankle.

Impact Williams remains in a low-usage role for Chicago, so even if he sits out, there won't be too many extra shots available. An absence could mean more minutes for Derrick Jones and Javonte Green.

Efficient despite loss Williams registered 15 points (6-9 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds, one assist, two blocks and one steal in 30 minutes during Sunday's 126-103 loss to the Nuggets.

Impact Williams reached the 15-point mark for the second time this season, and while he's been struggling from the field at times, this was one of his most efficient performances of the season. It'd be a stretch to think he's going to score at this rate -- and with these levels of efficiency -- on a regular basis going forward, so fantasy managers must understand this outing is likely an outlier rather than the norm going forward. He's averaging 11.4 points but shooting 48.5 percent from the field in seven games during the current month.

Poor shooting in loss Williams chipped in 13 points (5-16 FG, 3-6 3Pt), seven rebounds, one assist and two blocks in 29 minutes during Sunday's 113-104 loss to Toronto.

Impact Williams missed seven of his eight first-quarter shot attempts, including five misses from within three feet of the basket. His seven rebounds matched his most in any game this season, and five of those boards came off the offensive glass. The 21-year-old has made 44.2 percent of his shots and 36.4 percent of his three-point tries and is averaging 8.9 points per game through the season's first 11 contests.

Continues scoring surge Williams posted 16 points (7-9 FG, 2-3 3Pt), five rebounds, one assist and one block in 33 minutes during Wednesday's 106-88 win over the Hornets.

Impact Williams posted a season-high in points and minutes, beating his previous high in points from Tuesday's game. Williams has seemed to find his aggression, although he will need to get to the line more often if he wants to start scoring at an even higher rate.

Three steals in loss Williams closed Friday's 129-124 loss to the Spurs with 10 points (4-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-1 FT), two rebounds, one assist and three steals in 20 minutes.

Impact Williams continues to be woeful on the offensive end, topping double digits for just the second time this season. Viewed as a possible breakout candidate, Williams has been unable to make the most of a favorable situation. Outside of some limited upside in steals, Williams should not be viewed as a viable asset in competitive formats.

Another subdued night Wednesday Williams totaled 10 points (4-5 FG, 2-2 3Pt), two assists and two steals over 15 minutes during Wednesday's 124-109 victory over the Pacers.

Impact Williams continues to disappoint, managing just 15 minutes in the victory. Seen as a potential asset this season, it would appear the hype was not justified. He is likely to remain a starter but his passive mindset on the offensive end does not lend itself to fantasy upside. At this stage, managers are well within their rights to move on, with a view to keeping an eye on him in case things turn around at some point.

Struggles despite win Williams logged four points (2-6 FG, 0-2 3Pt), two rebounds and one steal in 28 minutes during Wednesday's 116-108 win over the Heat.

Impact Williams' production is alarming, considering the absence of Zach Lavine. The 2020 No. 4 pick is still more of a defensive option than a reliable scorer, as he has yet to average over 10 points per game. Williams was the only Bulls' starter with a negative plus-minus at -4.

Awarded starting job Bulls head coach Billy Donovan said Williams will start at power forward during Wednesday's regular-season opener against the Heat, Rob Schaefer of NBC Sports Chicago reports.

Impact Donovan shuffled the starting power forward spot during the preseason, with Williams, Javonte Green and Derrick Jones all getting opportunities in the first five. However, the Bulls will stick with the third-year lottery pick, who's started 80 of his 88 NBA appearances, to begin the year. After a strong rookie season, Williams' second-year in the league was derailed by injuries, but now that he's fully healthy, he'll look to bounce back in a big way during the 2022-23 campaign.
