• Thunder's Jalen Williams: Strikes for 25 in Sunday's win

  4H ago • By RotoWire

  Williams ended with 25 points (11-19 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, eight assists and two steals over 25 minutes during Sunday's 131-101 victory over Utah. The fourth-year forward tied Chet Holmgren for the team lead in scoring, as Williams set a new season high in points. He didn't make his 2025-26 debut until Nov. 28 after recovering from offseason wrist surgery, but in five games since getting back on the court, Williams has averaged 17.8 points, 6.4 assists, 5.2 boards, 1.2 steals and 1.0 blocks. Sunday's performance is a good sign that he may have shaken the rust off his shooting form.

• Thunder's Jalen Williams: Two rebounds shy of double-double

  2D ago • By RotoWire

  Williams notched 15 points (5-11 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 4-4 FT), eight rebounds, five assists and one steal in 24 minutes during Friday's 132-111 win over the Mavericks. It's been a steady start to the season for Williams, who now has four games under his belt. He continues to deliver balanced production but has crossed the 20-point threshold only once in those four outings. It remains to be seen if he will return to the 21.6 points per game he averaged last year with the team getting improved scoring from Chet Holmgren and Ajay Mitchell. Williams collected a season-best eight boards against the Mavericks, picking up the slack for the injured Isaiah Hartenstein (calf).

• Thunder's Jalen Williams: Finding rhythm

  5D ago • By RotoWire

  Williams finished Tuesday's 124-112 win over the Warriors with 22 points (9-16 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three rebounds, six assists, one block and one steal across 33 minutes. After missing the first month of the regular season due to a right wrist procedure, Williams looked just like his normal self against the Warriors. The fourth-year man from Santa Clara scored 22 points, the most since making his season debut. Williams has also been a pest defensively, registering two or more combined steals and blocks in each game he's played this year. He was subpar from behind the line Tuesday, missing all four attempts from deep, which may or may not trace back to the wrist injury. While his shooting numbers fluctuate, fantasy managers who drafted Williams are likely pleased with his contributions so far.

• Thunder's Jalen Williams: Strong output Sunday

  7D ago • By RotoWire

  Williams chipped in 16 points (7-18 FG, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds, five assists and three blocks in 34 minutes during Sunday's 123-115 win over the Trail Blazers. Williams experienced an uptick in numbers across all categories, except assists, in his second game of the season. More importantly, he went from attempting 12 shots Friday against the Suns to 18 in this game, suggesting he'll handle his usual role in the offensive scheme before long. Williams, who averaged 21.6 points per game in 2024-25 while playing a key role in the Thunder's championship run, might need a few games to shake off the rust. However, the All-Star forward is worth the wait and should remain a lock in your lineup across all formats now that he's healthy.

• Thunder's Jalen Williams: Strong all-around numbers in debut

  9D ago • By RotoWire

  Williams (wrist) recorded 11 points (3-12 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 4-4 FT), eight assists, four rebounds, two steals and one block across 29 minutes Friday in the Thunder's 123-119 win over the Suns. Though he was a bit rusty with his shooting in his first game of the season following July 1 surgery to address a torn scapholunate ligament in his right wrist, Williams otherwise delivered outstanding cross-category fantasy production for managers who decided to activate him. Williams was operating with a minor playing-time restriction in his debut, but he should see his minutes settle around the 30-to-35 mark in competitive contests once he regains full conditioning.
