Impact Williams has scored 11 points in every game of the series with the Spurs. While the 28-year-old fell one rebound shy of the double-double mark in each of his previous two appearances, it appears he may continue to be featured on both ends of the floor more than he was during the regular season, meaning Donovan Clingan might be spending additional time on the bench.

Good to go Sunday Williams (back) is available for Sunday's game against the Wizards.

Impact Williams will shed his questionable tag due to lower-back soreness and suit up for a third consecutive contest. The backup big man has averaged 6.0 points, 7.6 rebounds and 1.0 blocks in 16.2 minutes per game over his last five appearances.

MARCH 29 • ROTOWIRE

Impact Williams is currently going through his pregame routine, so it sounds like he'll be cleared shortly. Yang Hansen will have a tough time getting into the rotation if Williams is active.

Iffy for Sunday Williams (back) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Wizards.

Impact Williams is in jeopardy of missing Sunday's contest due to lower-back soreness. If the backup big man is unable to play, Kris Murray and Sidy Cissoko are candidates for increased playing time, while Yang Hansen could enter the rotation.

Will play Friday Williams (knee) is available for Friday's game against Dallas.

Impact Williams drew the questionable tag for Friday's game due to a left knee injury, but the veteran center has been cleared to play against the Mavericks. He has averaged 7.9 points, 8.4 rebounds and 1.7 blocks over 18.8 minutes per game across 13 outings since the All-Star break.

MARCH 28 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Friday Williams (knee) is questionable to play Friday versus the Mavericks.

Impact Williams logged only 13 minutes in Wednesday's win over Milwaukee, and Friday's game is not part of a back-to-back set, so it would be somewhat surprising to see Williams receive a rest day. However, if he is ruled out, that will open up minutes for Yang Hansen.
