Impact Williams was efficient from the field but wasn't asked to be a big offensive contributor. Instead, he impacted the game with his athleticism down low, swatting four shots for the second time in three Finals games and pulling down a game-high 10 rebounds. Williams is averaging just 6.0 points through three Finals contests as he likely isn't fully recovered from his knee issues, but he has been a big part of Boston's two wins thus far.

He's averaged just 7.0 points, 5.2 rebounds and 2.2 blocks in 20.8 minutes per contest over the last six games, but he should see enough run in Game 3 to warrant consideration in DFS lineups.
