Will likely play Saturday Williams is probable for Saturday's game against the 76ers due to a left ankle sprain.

Impact Williams scored 22 points in 38 minutes during Thursday's loss to Indiana but appears to have suffered a minor ankle sprain as well, though he is expected to still suit up. Over his last seven games, the 2020 lottery pick has been playing well, averaging 16.0 points, 4.0 rebounds, 1.9 assists and 1.3 steals-plus-blocks in 33.3 minutes per night.

Goes for 22 points Thursday Williams ended with 22 points (9-14 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, three assists and two steals in 38 minutes during Thursday's 120-104 loss to Indiana.

Impact Williams reached the 20-point mark for the first time since Dec. 16, and just for the fourth time in the current campaign. While Williams has proven he can be a reliable contributor when called upon duty, the fact that he holds a minor role on offense suggests his upside won't be very high, although his role as a regular starter means he's still serviceable in most formats.

Probable to play Wednesday Williams (calf) is probable to play Wednesday against the Lakers.

Impact Williams appeared to tweak his ankle/calf during Monday's loss to Philadelphia, even walking to the locker room with a minor limp, but he was able to finish the contest. His probable designation puts him firmly on track to play Wednesday. Williams' scoring has been volatile of late, but he's locked into a large role for Chicago, averaging 34.7 minutes per game and connecting on 49.2 percent of his shots over his last six contests.

Booms for season-high 25 Williams closed with 25 points (8-10 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 5-5 FT), seven rebounds and four assists in 33 minutes during Saturday's 118-116 loss to the Heat.

Impact Williams notched his highest scoring output of the campaign, fueled by matching his season high of four made threes. Despite Chicago losing at the buzzer Saturday, Williams was part of the closing lineup and has looked energized of late. Since returning to a full-time starting role 10 games ago, Williams is averaging 14.4 points, 5.0 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 1.0 steals and 1.1 blocks in 32.8 minutes per game.

Likely available Tuesday Williams (ankle) is probable for Tuesday's game against the Nuggets.

Impact Williams continues to land on the injury report but hasn't missed a game this season. He's started nine of the Bulls' last 10 games, averaging 13.9 points, 5.7 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 1.0 steals and 0.9 blocks in 32.3 minutes during that stretch.

DECEMBER 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Serviceable effort in loss Williams produced 15 points (6-14 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds and two assists in 41 minutes during Monday's 133-129 overtime loss to Milwaukee.

Impact Williams cooled off a little, although still managed 15 points and seven rebounds in the loss. After a slow start to the season, Williams has been able to get things back on track, putting up top-100 value over the past two weeks. His ability to chip in across multiple categories means while he is not necessarily a must-roster player, it is unlikely he is floating around on too many waiver wires.

DECEMBER 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Good to go Williams (ankle) is available for Monday's matchup against the Bucks.

Impact As expected, Williams has been upgraded from probable to available. He's started seven of the last eight games, averaging 13.8 points, 5.5 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 1.1 steals and 1.0 blocks in 31.3 minutes during that stretch.

Dealing with ankle soreness Williams is probable for Monday's matchup versus Milwaukee due to left ankle soreness.

Impact Williams will likely suit up Monday, but he could take a seat for the second half of Chicago's back-to-back set Tuesday versus Denver.

Continues string production Williams closed with 14 points (6-11 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 1-4 FT), four rebounds, two assists, two blocks and two steals across 29 minutes during Saturday's 124-118 victory over New Orlean...

Impact Williams cobbled together another strong performance Saturday, scoring double-digits for the sixth straight game. Although his production has come at a time when others have missed time due to injury, this is what managers had hoped to see from him coming into the season. Despite the small sample size, Williams is worth grabbing in standard leagues, just in case he can turn this into sustainable production.

DECEMBER 3, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Another strong performance Williams ended with 14 points (6-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal across 28 minutes during Tuesday's 124-97 loss to the Celtics.

Impact Williams continues to round into some sort of form after a terrible start to the season. He has scored double-digits in four straight games, playing at least 28 minutes in three of the four. The Bulls are a dumpster fire right now, meaning fantasy value is hard to project. While it is unlikely Williams maintains this production, he could be worth a flier, just to see if the upward trend continues.

Scores 20 in starting lineup Williams supplied 20 points (7-9 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and four rebounds over 35 minutes during Sunday's 118-109 loss to the Nets.

Impact Williams was moved back into the starting lineup with Alex Caruso (foot) unavailable. He really struggled in this role prior to Sunday, as he averaged 5.6 points and 4.6 rebounds in seven previous starts. He looked much more comfortable Sunday, and he seems to be trending in the right direction. Over his last three games, Williams has averaged 14.0 points, 5.3 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 2.7 three-pointers.

NOVEMBER 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Draws start Sunday Williams is starting Sunday's game against the Nets.

Impact Williams retreated to the bench for Friday's game against the Raptors but will join the starting lineup for the second time in the last three games with Alex Caruso (toe) unavailable. Over seven starts this year, Williams has averaged 5.6 points and 4.6 rebounds in 25.7 minutes per game.

NOVEMBER 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Nears double-double in start Williams amassed 10 points (3-9 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds and two assists in 37 minutes during Wednesday's 116-102 loss to the Thunder.

Impact Williams took on a starting role Wednesday with Zach LaVine (foot) unavailable. While Williams wasn't particularly efficient from the floor, he came within three rebounds of a double-double. He'll likely revert to a reserve role once LaVine is cleared to return, and Williams has averaged 6.4 points and 3.0 rebounds in 20.7 minutes per game over nine appearances off the bench this year.

NOVEMBER 23, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Starting sans LaVine Williams will enter the starting five for Wednesday's matchup with Oklahoma City.

Impact Williams will slide into the first unit with Zach Lavine (foot) sidelined. In six starts, Williams is averaging 4.8 points, 4.2 rebounds and 2.0 steals/blocks across 24.0 minutes.

Probable for Wednesday Williams (finger) is probable to play Wednesday against Oklahoma City

Impact Williams is dealing with an ongoing left finger sprain, and his probable designation is becoming routine on Chicago's injury report. Williams has yet to miss a game this season and is on track to play Wednesday.

NOVEMBER 21, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Modest role continues Williams logged two points (1-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt), four rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal in 15 minutes during Saturday's 102-97 victory over the Heat.

Impact Over the first 12 games of the season, Williams made six starts and averaged 6.3 points, 3.6 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 1.1 steals and 0.9 blocks in 23.7 minutes per game. However, over the last two games, Williams has managed just two points, six rebounds, two assists, two steals and a block in 28 total minutes. As long as DeMar DeRozan, Alex Caruso and Torrey Craig are healthy, Williams' path to consistent playing time is blocked.

NOVEMBER 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Heads back to bench Williams will come off the bench for Friday's game against Orlando.

Impact No surprise here, as Demar DeRozan is back from his personal absence. Williams didn't shoot the ball well in his spot start on Wednesday against the Magic, but he produced nine points, nine rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal.

NOVEMBER 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Flirts with double-double in loss Williams finished with nine points (2-7 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 5-6 FT), nine rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal over 32 minutes during Wednesday's 96-94 loss to Orlando.

Impact Williams moved back into the starting lineup Wednesday, replacing DeMar DeRozan who was out due to personal issues. Although his numbers were far from spectacular, Williams did manage to chip in across the board for anyone who streamed him in. Given what we have seen thus far this season, there is no reason to consider him a standard league asset. Feel free to hold him to see if he can string together a few nice performances but don't be surprised if things go in the opposite direction.

NOVEMBER 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Moves into starting lineup Williams will join the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Magic.

Impact DeMar DeRozan is unavailable for personal reasons, so this is a great opportunity for Williams to step up. It's no secret that he's had a very slow start to the campaign, as he's averaging 6.1 points, 3.1 rebounds and 1.3 assists on 33.3 percent shooting from the field.

NOVEMBER 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Cleared for Wednesday Williams (finger) is available for Wednesday's game against the Magic.
