Notches double-double in win Williamson produced 23 points (7-14 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 9-9 FT), 12 rebounds, four assists, three blocks and two steals over 35 minutes during Friday's 103-95 victory over the 76ers.

Impact Williamson's 12 boards were a season high and marked the first time he hit double-digits in that category since Dec. 28. The burly forward also had a campaign-best three blocks, so it's fair to say that this was one of his best all-around performances of the season. Williamson entered the game in a bit of an offensive slump, averaging just 12.0 points over his previous two contests.

Drops 23 in Wednesday's loss Williamson totaled 23 points (10-20 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-5 FT), three rebounds and four assists across 32 minutes during Wednesday's 123-114 loss to the Pacers.

Impact The 23-year-old forward topped 20 points for the fifth time in the last six games. Williamson has been playing through a bone bruise in his foot for most of February but has only needed to sit out one game, and on the month he's averaging 23.9 points, 6.5 assists, 5.6 boards and 1.1 blocks while shooting 53.4 percent from the floor over 11 contests.

Will play Wednesday Williamson (foot) is available for Wednesday's game against the Pelicans, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

Impact Williamson, Brandon Ingram (ankle) and CJ McCollum (ankle) all got the green light after being considered game-time decisions. Despite a lingering foot issue, Williamson has been strong recently, averaging 25.2 points, 7.8 assists, 6.2 rebounds and 1.2 blocks in 33.4 minutes per game over his last five appearances.

Iffy for Wednesday Williamson (foot) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Pacers.

Impact Williamson continues to deal with a left foot contusion, but he's been able to suit up in recent matchups. He appeared in both halves of a back-to-back set last week, but it's unclear whether the Pelicans will manage his workload after he tallied 21 points, five rebounds, four assists and two blocks in 29 minutes during Tuesday's win over New York. If Williamson is sidelined Wednesday, Naji Marshall, Herbert Jones and Trey Murphy are candidates to see increased roles.

Good to go against Knicks Williamson (foot) is available for Tuesday's game versus the Knicks, Will Guillory of The Athletic reports.

Impact Williamson has been upgraded from questionable to available Tuesday despite dealing with a left foot contusion. The star forward tallied 24 points, five rebounds, two assists and one steal in 28 minutes during his only other appearance against New York this season on Oct. 28.

Questionable for Tuesday Williamson is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Knicks due to a left foot contusion, Jim Eichenhofer of the Pelicans' official site reports.

Impact Tuesday's game is the first half of a back-to-back set, so it's customary for Williamson to show up on the injury report. However, he recently played in both halves of a back-to-back set for the second time this season, playing 35 minutes and 36 minutes versus Houston and Miami, respectively. Over his last four appearances, Williamson has averaged 26.3 points, 8.8 assists, 6.5 rebounds, 1.0 blocks and 0.8 steals in 34.5 minutes per game.

Sniffs another triple-double Williamson ended with 19 points (9-15 FG, 1-2 FT), eight rebounds, 11 assists and two blocks in 33 minutes during Sunday's 114-106 loss to the Bulls.

Impact Williamson has experienced a remarkable uptick as a passer in recent games, and the numbers back that up, as he's averaging 6.6 assists per game over his last 10 outings, a sizable upgrade from the 4,6 dimes per game he delivered last season -- and a figure that constituted a career-high mark for him as well. Williamson will always be a dominant scorer in the paint and a force on the glass, but unlocking this side of his game could go a long way toward bolstering his fantasy upside for the final weeks of the regular season. On that note, he's averaging 24.5 points, 6.6 assists and 5.8 rebounds per game over his last 10 contests.
