Drops 15 in win Williams recorded 15 points (5-8 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five rebounds, five assists and one steal in 23 minutes during Wednesday's 138-89 victory over the Suns.

Impact Williams has only averaged 24.0 minutes a game in his last three appearances, primarily because this Thunder team is so good that they can pull their starters early. Ever since making his season debut after recovering from his wrist injury, Williams has averaged 17.3 points, 5.2 rebounds, 6.2 assists, 1.2 steals, 0.8 blocks and 0.7 threes across 28.0 minutes.

Strikes for 25 in Sunday's win Williams ended with 25 points (11-19 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, eight assists and two steals over 25 minutes during Sunday's 131-101 victory over Utah.

Impact The fourth-year forward tied Chet Holmgren for the team lead in scoring, as Williams set a new season high in points. He didn't make his 2025-26 debut until Nov. 28 after recovering from offseason wrist surgery, but in five games since getting back on the court, Williams has averaged 17.8 points, 6.4 assists, 5.2 boards, 1.2 steals and 1.0 blocks. Sunday's performance is a good sign that he may have shaken the rust off his shooting form.

Two rebounds shy of double-double Williams notched 15 points (5-11 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 4-4 FT), eight rebounds, five assists and one steal in 24 minutes during Friday's 132-111 win over the Mavericks.

Impact It's been a steady start to the season for Williams who now has four games under his belt. He continues to have balanced production, but has only crossed the 20-point threshold once in those four outings and averaging. It remains to be seen if J-Dub will return to the 21.6 points per game he averaged last year with the team getting improved scoring from Chet Holmgren and Ajay Mitchell. Williams collected a season-best eight boards against the Mavericks, as he

Hasn't missed a beat Williams finished Tuesday's 124-112 win over the Warriors with 22 points (9-16 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three rebounds, six assists, one block and one steal across 33 minutes.

Impact After missing the first month of the regular season due to a right wrist procedure, Williams looked just like his normal self against the Warriors. The fourth-year man from Santa Clara scored 22 points, the most since making his season debut. Williams has also been a pest defensively registering two or more combined steals and blocks in each game he's played this year. He was subpar from behind the line tonight, missing all four attempts from deep, which may or may not trace back to the wrist injury. While his shooting numbers fluctuate, fantasy managers who drafted J-dub are likely pleased with his contributions so far.

Strong output Sunday Williams chipped in 16 points (7-18 FG, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds, five assists and three blocks in 34 minutes during Sunday's 123-115 win over the Trail Blazers.

Impact Williams experienced an uptick in numbers across all categories, except assists, in his second game of the season. More importantly, he went from attempting 12 shots Friday against the Suns to 18 in this game, suggesting he'll likely be gradually included in the offensive scheme. Williams, who averaged 21.6 points per game in 2024-25 while playing a key role in the Thunder's championship run, might need a few games to shake off the rust. However, the All-Star forward is worth the wait and should remain a lock in your lineup across all formats now that he's healthy.

Impact Though he was a bit rusty with his shooting in his first game of the season following July 1 surgery to address a torn scapholunate ligament in his right wrist, Williams otherwise delivered outstanding cross-category fantasy production for managers who decided to activate him. Williams was operating with a minor playing-time restriction in his debut, but he should see his minutes settle around the 30-to-35 mark in competitive contests once he regains full conditioning.
