Bounces back with big game Williams supplied 18 points (7-13 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds, three assists and two steals over 34 minutes during Friday's 127-110 win over the Wizards.
Impact The rookie forward bounced back in a big way after a bit of a down game Wednesday. Williams' scoring, rebounding and assist numbers have all steadily increased each month of the season. He should be rostered in many formats and is rounding into a consistent performer for fantasy managers.
JANUARY 7, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Solid all-around performance Giddey registered 20 points (9-16 FG, 2-2 3Pt), six rebounds, nine assists and one steal across 37 minutes during Friday's 127-110 win over the Wizards.
Impact The second-year guard has been on a hot streak, scoring at least 20 points in four of his last five contests. Friday's nine assists are the most he has recorded in a game since mid-November. Giddey has been good for no less than five rebounds in each contest since Nov. 3. He should be viewed as a consistent fantasy option for managers and a major value in dynasty formats.

Impact Gilgeous-Alexander chipped in another huge night Friday, which should come as no surprise given the season he is having. He is a Top 10 fantasy option for managers this season, and is shaping up to be one of the biggest draft day values of the season. He is on the way to being a fantasy MVP for 2022-2023, and should be started in all formats.
