After exiting Thursday’s game against the Jazz with an illness, Williams did not play in Saturday’s loss to the Bulls. With the doubtful tag, he likely misses a second game. Jaden Hardy and rookie Miles Kelly played rotation minutes in Chicago, and they may have to do so again on Monday.

Due to an illness, Williams had to leave Thursday’s loss to the Jazz after playing nine minutes. His absence on Saturday should mean more minutes for Ryan Nembhard, who played 22 minutes against Utah. The rookie still has not returned to the point where he should be streamed in fantasy leagues, but that may change later in the season.

Williams played nine minutes in the first half, tallying two points (1-of-4 FGs), three rebounds and one assist. His absence for the rest of the night may result in a few more minutes for Ryan Nembhard, but that isn’t guaranteed. In recent games, Nembhard has not been productive enough to merit being rostered in most fantasy leagues.

Initially probable for Thursday’s game, Williams is officially available. He’s come off the bench recently, but that has not negatively affected his playing time. Whichever guard plays more between Williams and Ryan Nembhard depends mainly on who has the hot hand.

Williams had been listed as questionable earlier in the day but was upgraded after going through a shootaround. The 26-year-old posted 18 points, two rebounds, and two assists in 27 minutes on Tuesday. He may see a slight reduction in minutes on Thursday, which would potentially mean a slightly larger role for Ryan Nembhard in this one.

Williams entered Tuesday shooting a career-worst 18.8 percent from beyond the arc. However, his struggles did not prevent Cooper Flagg from passing the ball to the Mavericks’ guard, whose three-pointer with 33.9 seconds remaining proved to be the game-winning shot. Just as encouraging for the few who did not drop Williams is that his playing time has been solid recently. Despite coming off the bench, he’s played at least 24 minutes in five straight games, while Ryan Nembhard (three rebounds and four assists) has lost significant playing time and been bumped to the bench. For those who held onto Williams, keep doing so.

Mavericks head coach Jason Kidd’s decision to drop Ryan Nembhard to the bench did not result in Williams being moved into the starting lineup. However, he played 24 minutes, while Nembhard (five points, three assists and one three-pointer) played 13. Neither guard has been exceptionally reliable in fantasy basketball this season, with both ranked outside the top-200 in eight- and nine-cat formats. For that reason, fantasy managers should not rush to add either, especially ahead of a three-game Week 12.

Williams continues to come off the bench, but for the second time in three games, he played more than starting point guard Ryan Nembhard. After logging 30 minutes on Christmas Day, Williams hit that number on Monday. And he started the third quarter in place of Nembhard, who went scoreless with two rebounds and six assists in 17 minutes. Williams’ fantasy value would be more appealing if he were the starter, but it has been challenging for many managers to make sense of the Mavericks’ point guard rotation.

Williams is set to return after a one-game absence due to a calf injury. The 26-year-old point guard should handle his usual workload Monday. In his last game against the Warriors, Williams had 26 points in 30 minutes.

Williams sat out Saturday’s loss to Sacramento, but he’ll return following a one-game absence. Fantasy managers should expect him to handle his usual allotment of minutes against Portland. Williams’ last appearance was on Christmas Day when he dropped a season-high 26 points against the Warriors.

Williams did not play in Saturday’s loss to the Kings, with some of the minutes that would have gone to him being absorbed by D’Angelo Russell. However, D’Lo only played 14 minutes in Sacramento and should not be rostered in most fantasy leagues, even if Williams remains out.

Williams’ status has fluctuated over the last day, bouncing from doubtful to questionable, and now to out. His absence frees up additional minutes for D’Angelo Russell, but his opportunities will also depend on how well starting point guard Ryan Nembhard plays.

Williams was initially listed as doubtful with a calf injury, but has since been upgraded to questionable. If he’s ruled out, D’Angelo Russell could see extra minutes off the bench while Ryan Nembhard remains in the starting lineup.

Williams, who scored a season-high 26 points in Thursday’s loss to the Warriors, is on track to miss Saturday’s game with a left calf contusion. If he’s ruled out, more minutes would become available to D’Angelo Russell, but Ryan Nembhard will remain the starting point guard.

After totaling 13 points on 4-of-12 shooting in Dallas’ Monday/Tuesday back-to-back, Williams rebounded with his best performances of the season. The 26 points were a season-high for the guard, who played 30 minutes off the bench. Starter Ryan Nembhard (four points, one rebound and two assists in 17 minutes) struggled, resulting in more playing time for Williams. Thursday was another example of why it’s challenging to rely on either of the Mavericks point guards in fantasy, although Nembhard’s status as the starter gives him the slight edge.

Williams is back after missing Monday’s game against Utah with a sore right Achilles tendon. With D’Angelo Russell (illness) also available, Williams should come off the bench as one of the reserve point guards.

Williams missed Monday’s game against Utah, which allowed Ryan Nembhard to see a bump in minutes as the starter. Jaden Hardy also joined the rotation and played a small role off the bench, though he will likely be pushed back out of the rotation if Williams returns.

Williams is dealing with a sore right Achilles tendon and will join D’Angelo Russell (illness) on the sidelines for Monday’s game. Ryan Nembhard, who was promoted into the starting lineup two games ago, will be in for a heavy workload. Jaden Hardy’s playing time should increase, but he’s more of a scorer than a playmaker for others.

Williams is a late addition to the injury report, so he’s in danger of sitting out Monday’s tilt with Utah. With D’Angelo Russell (illness) also sidelined, Dallas’ backcourt will be sorely shorthanded. Ryan Nembhard could be in for a hefty workload.

In the five games he played after being moved out of the starting lineup, Williams averaged 8.6 points while shooting 32.6 percent from the field. He had no such issues on Saturday, with the 20 points the most the Mavericks guard has scored in a game since October 29. Saturday’s performance won’t be enough to get Williams back on the radar in most fantasy leagues, as Ryan Nembhard continues to start. But he is worth keeping an eye on, as Williams appears to be locked into the backup role ahead of D’Angelo Russell.

Williams is available after initially being questionable for Monday’s game. His ability to play likely means D’Angelo Russell will be out of the rotation. The veteran point guard picked up DNP-CDs in the Mavericks’ last two games, so there’s no reason to keep him rostered in fantasy leagues.

Williams was bumped to the bench in favor of Ryan Nembhard on Saturday, though Williams played 26 minutes, while Nembhard was on the floor for 21. It’s unclear if that change will stick, but if Williams is unavailable, Nembhard will likely see a bump in minutes, while D’Angelo Russell would likely return to the rotation.

Ryan Nembhard (8/1/3 with two three-pointers) once again served as the starting point guard, but Williams played more minutes. He logged 26 to Nembhard’s 21, with the seven assists being the most in a game for Williams since November 12 against the Pelicans. The perimeter shot remains a work in progress, but Williams is worth keeping an eye on, given how unpredictable the Mavericks’ point guard rotation has been.

Williams is officially available after the Mavericks listed him as questionable on the initial injury report. He’ll handle the starting point guard duties, with D’Angelo Russell serving as the primary backup. Ryan Nembhard (knee) is also available, but the rookie is unlikely to get the run needed to merit being rostered in redraft leagues.

Williams is dealing with lower back tightness, which is why he appears on the injury report. D’Angelo Russell (illness) is available, so he can absorb some of the minutes that would usually go to Williams if he cannot play. In this scenario, D’Lo would be worth picking up in deep leagues.

With D’Angelo Russell (illness) ruled out, Williams surpassed the 30-minute mark for the first time in five games. He had a good night, shooting over 50 percent from the field and recording everything but a blocked shot in the 102-96 defeat. Rostered in 18 percent of Yahoo! leagues, Williams is ranked just outside the top-100 in eight-cat formats. He doesn’t have the highest ceiling, but Williams is worth a roll of the dice as long as he continues to start. Dallas plays three games in Week 6, beginning with the Heat on Monday.

The Mavericks have been one of the worst offensive teams in the NBA this season, prompting another change to the starting lineup. Williams will make his first start of the season, which immediately raises his fantasy ceiling. D’Angelo Russell will head to the bench, where he offers a lower fantasy ceiling than he does as a starter.

D’Angelo Russell got the start at point guard for Dallas, but Williams ended up playing more minutes and was more productive in the box score. Mavericks coach Jason Kidd has been mixing up the starting lineup recently to try and find a combination that works with Anthony Davis (calf) unavailable. Williams could have earned more minutes with this performance, but until he’s doing it consistently, or gets the chance to start, he should be left on the waiver wire.

Williams rejoined the Mavericks after missing two games for personal reasons and stepped up with his best performance of the season. He notched his fifth career 20-point game while chipping in on the boards with seven rebounds. His playing time was also notable, with Williams playing 22 minutes off the bench while D’Angelo Russell (14/2/5/1 with one three-pointer) logged 20. Williams isn’t at the point where he needs to be rostered in fantasy, but Wednesday was a good night.

Williams is back after missing the last two games for personal reasons. His return may result in fewer minutes for Jaden Hardy, but head coach Jason Kidd’s perimeter rotation has been challenging to predict with his desire to use Cooper Flagg at point guard. There’s no need to roster Williams or Hardy in fantasy leagues.
