Plays well once again Williams supplied 13 points (4-10 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 5-5 FT), four rebounds, six assists and three steals in 33 minutes during Friday's 138-129 win over the Trail Blazers.
Impact Williams came up clutch in the final two minutes, helping Luguentz Dort come up with a steal and then finishing off a powerful slam on the fast break which sealed the win. He continues to be one of the most impressive rookies in fantasy basketball, putting up top-50 numbers in 9-category leagues over the past two weeks with 12.5 points, 5.3 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 2.5 steals and 1.0 three-pointers.

Returns from injury Dort posted 18 points (6-6 FG, 3-3 3Pt, 3-5 FT), one rebound, one assist, one block and one steal across 20 minutes during Friday's 138-129 win over the Trail Blazers.
Impact Dort returned to the rotation after a strained hamstring kept him out for six games. The Thunder had a relatively quiet trade deadline in terms of fantasy implications, so Dort's managers can expect him to have a similar role. He came into Friday's contest with season averages of 14.1 points, 4.2 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 1.0 steals and 1.9 triples.

Impact Gilgeous-Alexander had 24 of his points by halftime, hitting 7-of-8 shots. He's now scored at least 30 points in eight of his last 10 games, and he now has five games this season with at least 40 points. His fantasy managers are just hoping the Thunder will be competitive enough to stay out of tanking territory down the stretch. Gilgeous-Alexander and the Thunder will get a couple days off before facing the Pelicans on Monday.
