Celtics' Grant Williams: Good to go Wednesday
Williams (illness) has been upgraded to available for Tuesday's matchup against the Wizards.
Williams will presumably garner his usual bench role while playing through an illness. Over his last seven appearances (one start), Williams has averaged 7.4 points and 4.0 rebounds in 21.4 minutes per game.

Celtics' Grant Williams: Questionable Tuesday
Williams is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Wizards due to an illness, Jared Weiss of The Athletic reports.
Williams has missed just three games this season, but with the rest of the team healthy, his potential absence could be taken in stride. If the forward sits, more minutes could be given to Sam Hauser and Malcolm Brogdon.

Celtics' Grant Williams: Moves to bench Tuesday
Williams will return to the bench for Tuesday's game against the Kings, according to Bobby Manning of the Boston Sports Journal.
Al Horford (back) and Marcus Smart (hip) are back in action for the Celtics, and Robert Williams (hamstring) is coming off the bench in his return. With Boston back to full strength, Grant Williams' minutes could take a big hit.

Celtics' Grant Williams: Excels in starting role
Williams closed with 23 points (8-16 FG, 7-12 3Pt), four rebounds and two assists across 31 minutes during Saturday's 118-117 loss to Utah.
Although he was denied a potential game-winner by Walker Kessler, Williams put together a strong performance in his 22nd start of the season. With Marcus Smart (hip), Al Horford (back) and Robert Williams (hamstring) sidelined, Williams provided much-needed size against the Jazz, who would have dominated the frontcourt without his insertion. Williams has averaged only 8.3 points and 4.7 rebounds this season, and Saturday's performance wasn't indicative of his regular results. Although he's often utilized when the Celtics need a bigger lineup, Williams' fantasy value is limited.

Celtics' Grant Williams: Starting for injured Smart
Williams will start Saturday's tilt against the Jazz, Gary Washburn of The Boston Globe reports.
With Marcus Smart (hip) sidelined, Williams draws his first start since Valentine's Day, as coach Joe Mazzulla is opting to go big. In 21 starts this season, Williams has averaged 10.3 points, 5.6 rebounds and 2.1 assists in 33.9 minutes.

Celtics' Grant Williams: Sees 44 minutes of run in 2OT loss
Williams totaled nine points (2-7 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), six rebounds, three assists and one block over 44 minutes during Sunday's 131-129 double-overtime loss to New York.
Grant Williams saw an increase in playing time due to the absence of Robert Williams (hamstring). The former had recently seen his playing time dip to only 17.6 minutes per game over his last six contests (which included one DNP-CD) before Sunday's 2OT thriller. Despite the extended run, Williams generated only modest stats from just seven field-goal attempts. Williams hasn't scored in double figures since his last start -- a Valentine's Day loss at Milwaukee.

Celtics' Grant Williams: Falls out of rotation
Williams (coach's decision) went unused off the bench in Wednesday's 117-113 win over the Cavaliers.
With Jaylen Brown (personal) returning from a one-game absence, Boston had all of its key players available for one of the few occasions all season. Due to Cleveland keeping the game competitive until the bitter end, all five of the Boston starters logged 30-plus-minutes, but it was still surprising that head coach Joe Mazzulla opted not to turn to Williams off the bench behind sixth man Derrick White (25 minutes) and seventh man Malcolm Brogdon (23 minutes). Instead, Mazzulla turned to Mike Muscala (11 minutes) and Sam Hauser (nine minutes) to round out a tight nine-man rotation, resulting in Williams failing to see the court for the first time since Oct. 28, when he sat out while serving a suspension. It's uncertain if Williams will regularly find himself outside of the rotation moving forward, but it's clear that his playing time will be suppressed now that the Celtics are back to full strength.

Celtics' Grant Williams: Returns to second unit
Williams will come off the bench for Wednesday's game against the Pistons.
Williams drew the start Tuesday with Jayson Tatum (illness) and Jaylen Brown (face) absent, but will rejoin the reserves with Tatum healthy. Williams logged his second double-double of the season Tuesday but turned the ball over five times in his 48 minutes of play.

Celtics' Grant Williams: Double-double in OT loss
Williams finished with 12 points (4-10 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-3 FT), 10 rebounds, four assists and one steal over 48 minutes during Tuesday's 131-125 overtime loss to the Bucks.
With the Celtics missing Jayson Tatum (illness), Jaylen Brown (face) and others from the rotation, Williams saw his biggest workload of the season and turned it into his second double-double. The 24-year-old has started three of the last four games, averaging 10.5 points, 8.0 boards, 4.8 assists, 1.8 threes and 1.0 steals in 36.3 minutes over that stretch, and his minutes and fantasy value should remain elevated until Boston begins to get healthier.

Celtics' Grant Williams: Enters starting unit
Williams is in the starting five for Tuesday's game versus Milwaukee, Gary Washburn of The Boston Globe reports.
Williams will replace Jayson Tatum (illness) in the starting lineup Tuesday. The 24-year-old Williams is averaging 10.2 points, 5.3 rebounds and 2.0 assists in 33.1 minutes across his 20 previous starts this season.

Celtics' Grant Williams: Upgraded to available
Williams (elbow) is available for Tuesday's matchup against the Bucks.
Williams was initially listed as questionable due to right elbow swelling, but he's since been upgraded to available. The Celtics have already ruled out Jayson Tatum (illness), Jaylen Brown (face) and Marcus Smart (ankle), while Al Horford (knee) and Robert Williams (ankle) are listed as questionable, so Grant Williams figures to be a core piece of Boston's rotation against the Bucks, who trail the first-place Celtics by only 1.5 games.

Celtics' Grant Williams: Questionable against Milwaukee
Williams is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Bucks due to right elbow swelling.
Williams hasn't missed a game since Oct. 28, but it's unclear whether his elbow injury will prevent him from playing in the first half of a back-to-back set. Williams could see increased run if he's available Tuesday since Jayson Tatum (illness) is doubtful.

Celtics' Grant Williams: Back to bench
Williams will come off the bench in Sunday's game against the Grizzlies.
Williams started in both of the Celtics' past two games while Al Horford (knee) was sidelined, but the fourth-year player will return to his familiar bench gig with Horford rejoining the starting five Sunday. Even though Horford and fellow frontcourt starter Robert Williams aren't expected to face significant restrictions Sunday, Grant Williams could still be in store for a sizable reserve role while the Celtics are without Jaylen Brown (face), Malcolm Brogdon (Achilles) and Marcus Smart (ankle).

Celtics' Grant Williams: Produces well in start
Williams finished Wednesday's 106-99 win over the 76ers with 15 points (5-10 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), eight rebounds, five assists and one steal across 39 minutes.
With Robert Williams (ankle) and Al Horford (knee) both sitting out, Grant Williams moved into the starting five following a three-game stint on the bench. While he could be back on the second unit in the likelihood that both Robert Williams and Horford return to the lineup Friday against the Hornets, Grant Williams' outlook for playing time still looks promising after Jaylen Brown exited Wednesday's contest with a facial fracture. The injury is likely to keep Brown out through the All-Star break, so expect the Celtics to turn to players like Williams, Malcolm Brogdon and Sam Hauser to absorb some of Brown's vacated minutes.

Celtics' Grant Williams: Starting Wednesday
Williams will move into the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the 76ers, Sean Grande of NBC Sports Boston reports.
Williams should get all the run he can handle in this one with both Robert Williams (ankle) and Al Horford (knee) watching from the sidelines, so he could be a quality streamer or low-budget target in daily fantasy leagues. Through 18 starts this season, Williams has produced averages of 10.2 points, 5.2 rebounds, 1.7 triples, 1.7 assists and just 1.3 turnovers per contest.

Celtics' Grant Williams: Quiet off bench
Williams finished Wednesday's 139-96 win over the Nets with six points (2-5 FG, 2-5 3Pt), two rebounds and one block across 17 minutes.
Robert Williams returned to the starting lineup after missing the last game with an ankle injury, shifting Grant Williams back to the bench for this one. His fantasy value and workload will take a hit with Robert back in the mix, although it's usually a good idea to look his way for streaming purposes when the Celtics are on a back-to-back. However, their next one isn't until Feb. 15.
