Thunder's Jaylin Williams: Goes for 24-and-12
Rotowire
Williams totaled 24 points (6-15 FG, 4-11 3Pt, 8-8 FT), 12 rebounds, four assists and two blocks in 40 minutes during Wednesday's 116-106 loss to the Spurs.
Williams recorded his second double-double of the season, a reminder of what he is capable of when afforded starter-level minutes. Oklahoma City was without a number of its regular rotation players, resulting in heavy minutes for players like Williams. Despite this performance, fantasy managers don't need to overreact, given the Thunder could get multiple players back as soon as Saturday.

Rotowire
Williams logged eight points (3-5 FG, 2-3 3Pt), five rebounds, four assists, one block and three steals in 24 minutes during Sunday's 121-111 victory over the Nuggets.

Williams (undisclosed) returned to Tuesday's game against the Pelicans with 7:09 remaining in the fourth quarter, per the broadcast.

Rotowire
Williams is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Bucks due to a left glute contusion.

Rotowire
Williams won't return to Monday's game against the Cavaliers due to a lower back contusion, Brett Siegel of ClutchPoints.com reports.

Thunder's Jaylin Williams: Strong line in win
Rotowire
Williams had 11 points (4-10 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 10 rebounds, five assists and two blocks across 23 minutes during Tuesday's 119-98 win over the Spurs.
Playing in his second game since returning from a 13-game absence related to a heel issue, Williams followed up his strong effort Sunday against Miami with one of his best games of the campaign. Williams has some solid per-minute upside, and he's worth a long look as a waiver-wire add with Isaiah Hartenstein (calf) without a timetable to return.

Thunder's Jaylin Williams: Well-rounded line in return
Rotowire
Williams (heel) tallied nine points (1-3 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 6-6 FT), five rebounds, one assist, one steal and one block across 14 minutes off the bench in Sunday's 124-112 win over the Heat.
Back in action after a 13-game absence due to right heel bursitis, Williams was handed a small role in the Thunder rotation but filled out the stat sheet nicely during his limited time on the court. When Oklahoma City is at or near full strength, Williams will likely find it difficult to see his playing time climb much higher than what he received Sunday, but his diverse skill set makes him a worthy streaming option when the Thunder are without multiple regulars in the frontcourt. Williams owns career per-36-minute averages of 11.6 points, 10.1 rebounds, 4.3 assists, 2.2 three-pointers, 1.1 steals and 1.0 blocks.
