Grabs 16 boards in victory Williams had eight points (4-6 FG, 0-1 3Pt), 16 rebounds, four assists, four blocks and one steal in 35 minutes during Saturday's 107-97 victory over the Pelicans.

Impact Williams' 16 rebounds matched his second-best total of the season, as he continues to be the superior frontman for Boston. With three double-doubles in his past four games, his fantasy value continues to outpace Al Horford, who failed to log a double-digit rebound total for the fifth consecutive contest.

Not on injury report Friday Williams is not on the injury report ahead of Friday's game against Portland.

Impact This was also the case ahead of Wednesday's matchup against Charlotte, but Williams was ultimately scratched before game time, as his child was born earlier in the week. Double check his availability before Friday's game starts, but it looks like the Celtics should have their starting center back in action. Assuming that's the case, Grant Williams will likely return to the bench.

Sitting out MLK Day game Williams is listed as out for Monday's game against the Pelicans due to personal reasons.

Impact Boston will be down two key rotation pieces for the start of its four-game week in Williams and Marcus Smart, who remains in the NBA's COVID-19 health and safety protocols. Williams previously missed just one game due to a personal matter in late December, and his absence this time around looks to be related to the impending birth of his child, per Abby Chin of NBC Sports Boston. It's thus unclear if Williams will be back for the Celtics' next game Wednesday against the Hornets in Boston, making the 24-year-old a risky fantasy option in weekly leagues, given that the majority of teams are playing four games this week. Look for Al Horford to slide over from power forward to center in Williams' stead Monday, with Grant Williams the most likely candidate to fill the opening in the starting five.
