Posts 26 points in defeat Williamson finished with 26 points (11-18 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 4-5 FT), four rebounds, three assists and two steals in 31 minutes during Monday's 118-112 loss to the Celtics.
Impact Williamson was efficient from the field and posted his sixth game with at least 20 points in the current month, but the Pelicans came up short and wasted their lead in the fourth quarter. The star forward has been healthy, which has always been a big "if" for him, but his overall numbers have experienced a slight decrease, perhaps related to the fact that he shares the offensive load with Brandon Ingram and CJ McCollum. He's averaging a career-low 22.0 points per game, but he's compensating for the "lack" in scoring with season averages of 5.5 rebounds, 4.7 assists and 1.0 steals per contest.

Gets buckets in loss Williamson produced 23 points (8-14 FG, 7-7 FT), two rebounds, two assists and one steal in 29 minutes during Saturday's 141-117 loss to Milwaukee.
Impact Williamson's return from a one-game absence due to a foot injury yielded quality scoring, but an overall impact that underwhelmed. Williamson hasn't attacked the glass or made defensive plays at reasonable rates for his position this season, with Saturday representing his eighth game across 37 appearances with three or fewer rebounds. Williamson connecting on all of his free-throw attempts is a silver lining, as a season-long 66.4 percent clip at the stripe is his worst efficiency since his rookie season.
