Mark Williams

After missing Friday's loss to the Kings, Williams was back in the starting lineup on Sunday. He held his own in the matchup with Nikola Vucevic, falling one rebound shy of a double-double while shooting well over 50 percent from the field. While the Hornets play four games during the final week of the regular season, it begins with a Tuesday/Wednesday back-to-back. Williams managers whose leagues will be active should plan for him missing one of those games. As a result, Jusuf Nurkic (18 points, three rebounds, one block and two three-pointers in 16 minutes) could make another start before the season ends.

Okogie and Williams will replace DaQuan Jeffries and Jusuf Nurkic for Sunday's game. It's unclear how much Okogie will play, but Williams should carry his usual starter workload.

Williams was a late scratch for Friday's loss to the Kings, with his absence opening up a place in the starting lineup for Jusuf Nurkic. However, Williams' absence was more impactful on Moussa Diabate, who recorded a double-double off the bench. As for Smith, Seth Curry has been the starter for the games he has missed, and that would remain the case if the second-year guard remains out.
