Remains out Tuesday Williams (knee) is listed as out for Tuesday's game against the Bucks, Joe Mussatto of The Oklahoman reports.

Impact The Thunder haven't provided any indication that Williams is close to returning from his sprained left knee, an injury that dates back to before the All-Star break. With that in mind, it's probably safe to conclude that he'll remain out for both ends of the Thunder's back-to-back set, as Oklahoma City is set to travel to Minnesota to face the Timberwolves on Wednesday.

Impact A sprained right knee kept Williams out of the Thunder's final game before the break and he'll remain sidelined to begin the stretch run. OKC's post-break schedule starts with a back-to-back set, so Williams will likely sit out Friday at Indiana, as well.

Sitting out Wedesday Williams has a sprained right knee and will be out Wednesday against the Spurs.

Impact Williams will at least get plenty of time to rest and recover during the All-Star break. For Wednesday, more minutes could be in store for Aleksej Pokusevski, Theo Maledon and plenty of others since Luguentz Dort (shoulder), Ty Jerome (hip), Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (ankle), Mike Muscala (ankle) and Jeremiah Robinson-Earl (foot) are also sidelined.

Continuing to produce off bench Williams finished with 12 points (4-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 4-7 FT), four rebounds, two steals and one assist across 27 minutes Saturday in the Thunder's 106-101 loss to the Bulls.

Impact Oklahoma City has been without all of Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (ankle), Jeremiah Robinson-Earl (foot) and Mike Muscala (ankle) for each of the last five games, allowing multiple players to pick up extra playing time while taking on more prominent roles for the Thunder. Williams is one of the players who has put himself on the fantasy radar in the wake of the absences. Over that five-game stretch, he's averaging 8.4 points, 7.6 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 0.8 steals, 0.8 blocks and 0.6 three-pointers in 26.0 minutes per game while shooting 47.1 percent from the field and 63.6 percent from the free-throw line. Though he's not a major influencer in any one category, Williams' solid across-the-board production could make him appealing as a low-end option in 12- or 14-team leagues through the All-Star break.

Grabs 12 rebounds Williams registered six points (3-8 FG, 0-5 3Pt), 12 rebounds, six assists, one block and one steal over 31 minutes during Wednesday's loss to Toronto.

Impact Williams secured a season-high 12 rebounds in a strong all-around performance. The 27-year-old has been very effective in all facets of the game recently, including his playmaking. Williams is now averaging a solid 8.3 points, 7.5 rebounds and 4.0 assists over his last four games compared to 7.2 points, 4.2 rebounds and 2.1 assists on the season. This can partially be attributed to his uptick in playing time as he has played at least 25 minutes in seven of his last nine games. Williams' next chance to keep up this strong level of play will be Friday against the 76ers.

Posts strong stat line off bench Williams contributed 12 points (5-11 FG, 2-6 3Pt), seven rebounds, five assists, one block and one steal in 31 minutes during Monday's 110-98 loss to the Warriors.

Impact Williams was the only Thunder reserve to post double-digit scoring in the contest, and he complemented the point production with seven boards, five dimes, a steal and a block. The fourth-year forward isn't typically a scoring threat -- he had scored double-digit points only once in six games prior to Monday -- and he entered the contest averaging a modest 4.2 boards and 2.0 assists on the season. Williams is an important part of OKC's rotation, but he isn't much of a fantasy asset.
