• Thunder's Jalen Williams: Shines at center once again

  2D ago • By RotoWire

  Williams racked up 31 points (10-18 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 7-7 FT), six rebounds, seven assists, two blocks and four steals in 31 minutes during Wednesday's 106-88 victory over New Orleans. Williams was impressive playing at center for the second consecutive game, and while it's been only two outings, the experiment of a frontcourt with two 6-foot-5 players has been going well for the Thunder. Williams has been extremely productive in recent weeks, averaging 22.8 points, 6.0 rebounds, 4.8 assists, 2.4 steals and 1.0 blocks per game since the beginning of November.

• Thunder's Jalen Williams: Stuffs stat sheet in victory

  5D ago • By RotoWire

  Williams contributed 28 points (11-16 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 4-4 FT), eight rebounds, six assists and two steals across 35 minutes in Monday's 134-128 victory over the Clippers. With Chet Holmgren (hip) and Isaiah Hartenstein (hand) both out, Williams served as the Thunder's starting center while standing at 6-foot-5. The 23-year-old finished as the club's second-leading scorer behind Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (45), and Williams also racked up a team-high eight rebounds. With both of the club's big men expected to miss significant time, the Thunder will likely continue to experiment with the small-ball starting five. The star forward has proven his worth as a tenacious defender, though he has also accumulated seven games with 20-plus points through 11 regular-season outings.

  Williams produced 20 points (9-15 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, four assists, four blocks and one steal in 31 minutes during Sunday's 127-116 loss to Golden State. Williams was one of two Oklahoma City players who scored at least 20 points in this loss, with Shai Gilgeous-Alexander being the other one. Expect Williams to embrace an even bigger role on offense in the coming weeks since Chet Holmgren (hip) is set to miss a couple of months.

  10D ago • By RotoWire

  Williams finished Wednesday's 124-122 loss to the Nuggets with 29 points (11-20 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 3-5 FT), 10 rebounds, nine assists and three steals in 36 minutes. The Thunder came up short in a back-and-forth contest against the Nuggets, but Williams did everything he could to avoid that outcome. He posted season-high marks in points, rebounds and assists while also notching multiple steals for the sixth contest in a row. Williams has scored at least 20 points in three of his previous four appearances and is averaging a robust 22.3 points, 6.5 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 3.0 steals per game since the beginning of November.

• Thunder's Jalen Williams: Makes two-way impact Saturday

  14D ago • By RotoWire

  Williams totaled 15 points (5-16 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, four assists and two steals across 34 minutes during Saturday's 105-92 victory over the Clippers. Williams has been a consistent scoring option for the Thunder this season, but he's firmly settled as the third option behind Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Chet Holmgren. The efficiency could use some improvement, though, as Williams is shooting only 42.7 percent from the field while averaging 17.5 points per contest.
