Williams contributed 33 points (13-21 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 5-6 FT), three rebounds, four assists, one block and two steals over 34 minutes during Friday's 125-111 loss to the Rockets.
Williams continues to be an efficient scorer on a night-in and night-out basis. The 23-year-old small forward has made at least 50 percent of his field goal attempts in 10 of his last 11 games. Williams is usually behind star teammates Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Chet Holmgren, but he led the Thunder in points Friday.
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.
