Another strong outing off bench Williamson registered 26 points (9-15 FG, 8-9 FT), five rebounds, one assist and one steal in 21 minutes during Tuesday's 141-118 loss to Cleveland.

Impact Williamson's 21 minutes were tied for his lowest playing time since returning from a six-game absence Dec. 14, but the seventh-year forward still managed to lead the Pelicans in scoring while coming off the bench. The 2019 No. 1 overall pick has averaged 21.2 points, 6.0 rebounds and 2.4 assists in 23.4 minutes per games since returning from a right adductor strain. The Pelicans play against the Suns on back-to-back days Friday and Saturday, so Williamson could sit for one of those contests for injury management purposes.

Available for Tuesday Williamson is not on the injury report for Tuesday's game against the Cavaliers.

Impact This is a pleasant surprise for Williamson's fantasy managers, as it's a rare sight to see him suit up for both legs of a back-to-back set. Herbert Jones (ankle) is sitting out Tuesday, so the Pelicans may not have had the luxury of doing so. With Williamson playing 25 minutes Monday, he may have his minutes monitored for this one too.

Efficient in reserve role Monday Williamson registered 24 points (10-14 FG, 4-4 FT), nine rebounds and three assists over 25 minutes during the Pelicans' 119-113 win over the Mavericks on Monday.

Impact Williamson scored 10 of his team-high 24 points in the fourth quarter and helped the Pelicans overcome an 11-point deficit to capture their fifth-straight victory. He has come off the bench in each of his last four outings since returning from a six-game absence due to an adductor strain, but since returning he has averaged 20.0 points, 6.3 rebounds and 3.0 assists over 24.2 minutes per game while connecting on 56.9 percent from the field. The Pelicans play the second leg of their back-to-back set Tuesday on the road against the Cavaliers, so it remains to be seen whether New Orleans will sit Williamson for injury management purposes.

Scores 29 points in 23 minutes Williamson totaled 29 points (9-14 FG, 11-13 FT), seven rebounds, one assist and one steal over 23 minutes during Saturday's 128-109 victory over Indiana.

Impact Despite coming off the bench for the third straight game and logging just three minutes in the final frame, Williamson delivered one of his best performances of the season, matching his season high in points. It'll be interesting to see how much longer his reserve role lasts, but he's clearly making the most of his minutes on the court.

Scores 18 points in return Williamson posted 18 points (7-14 FG, 4-5 FT), six rebounds and two assists across 27 minutes during Sunday's 114-104 victory over the Bulls.

Impact Williamson's minutes were monitored in his first game back following a six-game absence, and he came off the bench for the first time in his NBA career. Williamson looked good while he was out there, though, so he'll likely be cleared for a larger workload his next time out.
