Iffy for Wednesday Williamson (foot) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Pacers.

Impact Williamson continues to deal with a left foot contusion, but he's been able to suit up in recent matchups. He appeared in both halves of a back-to-back set last week, but it's unclear whether the Pelicans will manage his workload after he tallied 21 points, five rebounds, four assists and two blocks in 29 minutes during Tuesday's win over New York. If Williamson is sidelined Wednesday, Naji Marshall, Herbert Jones and Trey Murphy are candidates to see increased roles.

Questionable for Tuesday Williamson is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Knicks due to a left foot contusion, Jim Eichenhofer of the Pelicans' official site reports.

Impact Tuesday's game is the first half of a back-to-back set, so it's customary for Williamson to show up on the injury report. However, he recently played in both halves of a back-to-back set for the second time this season, playing 35 minutes and 36 minutes versus Houston and Miami, respectively. Over his last four appearances, Williamson has averaged 26.3 points, 8.8 assists, 6.5 rebounds, 1.0 blocks and 0.8 steals in 34.5 minutes per game.

Sniffs another triple-double Williamson ended with 19 points (9-15 FG, 1-2 FT), eight rebounds, 11 assists and two blocks in 33 minutes during Sunday's 114-106 loss to the Bulls.

Impact Williamson has experienced a remarkable uptick as a passer in recent games, and the numbers back that up, as he's averaging 6.6 assists per game over his last 10 outings, a sizable upgrade from the 4,6 dimes per game he delivered last season -- and a figure that constituted a career-high mark for him as well. Williamson will always be a dominant scorer in the paint and a force on the glass, but unlocking this side of his game could go a long way toward bolstering his fantasy upside for the final weeks of the regular season. On that note, he's averaging 24.5 points, 6.6 assists and 5.8 rebounds per game over his last 10 contests.
