Thunder's Jaylin Williams: Season-low four minutes
Williams ended with two points (1-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt), three rebounds and one assist across four minutes during Thursday's 128-109 win over Golden State.
Williams missed the first five games of the season due to a hamstring injury but played double-digit minutes in six straight matchups after that. During that stretch, he averaged 4.2 points, 3.7 rebounds and 1.5 assists in 14.5 minutes per game. Last year, Williams was a regular fixture in the starting lineup, but he's been pushed to a bench role with Chet Holmgren healthy and dominating. It was surprising to see Williams' playing time limited during Thursday's blowout, but he should remain a key part of the Thunder's bench unit moving forward.

Thunder's Jaylin Williams: Part of rotation in season debut
Williams (hamstring) logged six points (2-5 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds and three assists in 15 minutes in Friday's 141-139 loss to the Warriors.
Available for the first time all season after missing the Thunder's first five games with a hamstring strain, Williams stepped into the Oklahoma City rotation Friday, serving as the backup to starting center Chet Holmgren. With Holmgren having already established himself as one of the best young big men in the NBA, Williams likely won't have the opportunity to see his minutes increase much more from what he received Friday so long as Holmgren stays healthy.

Thunder's Jaylin Williams: Will continue rehab in G League
Williams (hamstring) was assigned to the G League's Oklahoma City Blue on Wednesday, Rylan Stiles of FanSided.com reports.
Williams strained his hamstring during a training camp practice in mid-October and has been sidelined since. However, it appears he's taking the next step in his rehab. He'll presumably participate in a few practices with the Blue over the next couple of days, and if that goes according to plan, Williams may be in line to make his regular-season debut sometime next week. As a rookie last year, Williams averaged 5.9 points, 4.9 rebounds and 1.6 assists in 18.7 minutes across 49 appearances (36 starts).

Thunder's Jaylin Williams: Held scoreless by Pacers
Williams racked up three rebounds and one steal in 15 minutes during Friday's 121-117 loss to the Pacers.
Williams saw just 15 minutes Friday after playing 32 minutes in his last appearance. The rookie was quiet, failing to put a shot up and only pulling down three rebounds. Considering the Thunder use a very fluid rotation, it will be hard to trust Williams in fantasy for the rest of the season.

Thunder's Jaylin Williams: Nears double-double in loss
Williams racked up eight points (3-7 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), nine rebounds, four assists and two steals over 26 minutes during Thursday's 127-105 loss to the Clippers.
As usual, Williams wasn't a big factor on the offensive end, but he made solid contributions elsewhere, particularly with his nine boards. The rookie big man continues to take most of his shots from distance -- including Thursday, he's taken more three-pointers than two-pointers in three straight contests. Williams has made half of his 10 attempts from beyond the arc during that time and is shooting 42.2 percent from deep this season, but his lack of overall offensive volume depresses his fantasy value significantly.

Thunder's Jaylin Williams: Makes impact across board
Williams produced nine points (3-6 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, four steals, two assists and one block across 26 minutes during Sunday's 102-90 win over the Spurs.
Williams made his presence felt on the defensive end by tallying a season-high four steals. He also recorded a block in his second straight contest after failing to swat a shot in his previous three matchups. Williams' production on the defensive end is certainly enticing, but he's not much of a threat offensively, as he's averaging just 6.3 points per game in March (seven contests).

Thunder's Jaylin Williams: Notches season-high output Tuesday
Williams racked up 15 points (6-10 FG, 3-5 3Pt), six rebounds, two assists and one steal across 27 minutes during Tuesday's 137-128 win over the Warriors.
Williams' 15 points edged past his 14-point tally a month ago for the best scoring total of his rookie campaign. The 6-foot-9 big man also hoisted double-digit shot attempts for the first time this season, matching a season-high effort with five tries from beyond the arc. He added some ancillary stats as part of one of his better fantasy nights of his career. Williams was shooting just 25.0 percent from the field and 13.3 percent from three in the five games prior to Tuesday, so perhaps this showing will bust him out of the recent slump.
