PATRICK WILLIAMS NEWS

Scores 15 points in start Williams totaled 15 points (4-11 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five rebounds, one block and two steals across 27 minutes during Saturday's 125-96 victory over Memphis.

Impact Williams moved into the starting lineup, replacing Zach LaVine who was out due to an ankle injury. Despite battling an injury of his own, Williams turned in a strong performance against subpar opposition. Not unlike his career- Williams' production has been inconsistent this season. He is outside the top 150 in standard formats, averaging 10.0 points per game to go with 3.8 rebounds, 1.4 three-pointers and 1.8 combined steals and blocks. Until LaVine returns to the lineup, Williams is someone worth grabbing.
