Williams has had at least 20 points in three of four games since returning from a seven-game absence with a strained right hip. The 23-year-old small forward is the third banana on the Thunder after Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Chet Holmgren, but is still capable of scoring at least 20 points with regularity as we've seen this season. With Williams doing his part, OKC is running on all cylinders as they head into the playoffs.
The lone change is Wallace, whose move into the starting lineup means Isaiah Hartenstein will come off the bench. Managers who have Hartenstein rostered should not be too concerned, as his fantasy value should be fine despite being used as a reserve.
Williams has now scored at least 20 points in eight of his last nine games played. The 23-year-old small forward was efficient with 20 points on 12 shots including one made three-pointer and 7-of-8 made free throws. Williams looked like himself in his first action since missing seven games with a strained right hip.
Williams has missed the last seven games with a hip injury while Wallace just missed Tuesday's game against the Kings with a knee issue. Kenrich Williams is set to lose minutes with Williams and Wallace back in the lineup.
Williams (hip) has been cleared to play in Thursday's game against the Grizzlies.
