Scores 18 points Monday Williams recorded 18 points (7-14 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds, three assists and one steal across 17 minutes during Monday's 112-107 preseason win over the Spurs.
Impact Williams led the starting lineup in points, and he was one-point shy of tying Ajay Mitchell's team high. Williams is coming off a stellar season, during which he averaged 19.1 points, 4.5 assists, 4.0 rebounds and 1.1 steals across 31.3 minutes in 71 regular-season outings. The third-year pro will likely remain the second option behind Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, though the Thunder figure to have a stacked rotation this year.

Impact Williams hasn't been able to repeat the same numbers he posted during the first-round series against the Pelicans, and he's yet to surpass the 20-point mark in the current series against the Mavericks -- an alarming figure given he averaged 19.1 points per game in the regular season and 21.3 points per contest against New Orleans. Williams is also shooting a meager 40.8 percent from the field in the current series against Dallas.

Impact Williams didn't have his best shooting performance, and his numbers regressed a bit compared to what he'd been doing in the previous contests, but his role as the Thunder's second-best offensive weapon is firmly established ahead of Chet Holmgren, which should give him an excellent floor in most DFS slates. Williams is averaging 19.1 points per game in eight playoff contests this season, but it's worth noting this was his worst scoring performance since the postseason started.

Impact Although Williams headed to the locker room with an apparent ankle injury, he eventually returned to the court and finished as the team's second-highest scorer. Williams has been an invaluable piece of the Thunder's game plan on both sides of the ball, and his DFS salary has steadily risen throughout the playoffs. Josh Giddey's inconsistent play has forced Williams to produce with more frequency, and although Luguentz Dort has shown signs of life in the postseason, his defensive prowess doesn't always translate to favorable fantasy totals. Along with Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Chet Holmgren, Williams will continue to be one of the team's best fantasy values.

Checking back in Williams (ankle) has returned to Saturday's Game 3 against the Mavericks, Tim MacMahon of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Williams took a trip to the locker room late in the third quarter with what seemed to be a left ankle injury, but he'll be back in action for the fourth period. His return should mean fewer minutes for Gordon Hayward and Jaylin Williams down the stretch.

Impact Williams was the Thunder's second-best scoring option behind Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, but his solid two-way contributions were not enough to lift Oklahoma City to a 2-0 series lead. Williams has been outstanding in the playoffs and has confirmed the improvements he evidenced during the regular season. Through six postseason appearances, he's averaging 20.5 points, 6.3 rebounds, 4.8 assists and 1.3 steals per game while shooting 49 percent from the field.
