Williams is back after missing two games with a back injury he suffered during the Nets’ October 26 loss to the Spurs. His return means Jalen Wilson’s playing time will decrease after he logged 23 and 21 minutes in the two games that Williams missed.

With Williams sidelined for a second straight game, Jalen Wilson will continue to play added minutes off the bench. He logged 23 minutes on Monday and should see a large opportunity once again, but he isn’t worth streaming in standard leagues.

Injured during the third quarter of Sunday’s loss to the Spurs, Williams did not play in Monday’s loss to the Rockets. Fellow reserve Jalen Wilson played 23 minutes in Williams’ absence but provided limited streaming value. Neither player is a must-roster option in fantasy leagues, regardless of format.

Williams injured his back early in the third quarter, and after a trip to the locker room, he was ruled out for the rest of the day. He played 13 minutes, finishing with five points, one rebound, one steal, and one three-pointer. If Williams misses additional time, Jalen Wilson will have more minutes available, but he is not worth streaming anywhere.

Williams continues to come off the bench exclusively after mostly starting for the Nets last season. The 24-year-old forward played more minutes than starter Terance Mann 28-to-23 on Friday, though. Williams continues to show improved shooting this preseason with another four three-pointers against the Raptors. If Williams has a path to fantasy value this year, it might be as a sharpshooting bench player for teams that only need scoring and threes.

After starting 45 of the 63 games he played for the Nets last season, Williams has been used exclusively in a reserve role during the preseason. On Sunday, he shot 4-of-6 from beyond the arc, a positive development for a player who’s just a 31.6 percent three-point shooter for his career. During his career-best 2024-25 campaign, however, Williams did shoot 34.1 percent on 4.8 attempts per game. Terance Mann (7/1/0/1/1 with one three-pointer) has started each of Brooklyn’s three preseason games, and unless that changes, Williams won’t be worth the risk in fantasy leagues, at least to begin the season.

Williams averaged 10 points and 4.3 boards across 63 games with Brooklyn last season. His impact in the realm of fantasy hoops was muted, and even on a rebuilding Brooklyn team, his impact in 2025-26 will likely be the same.

Jalen Wilson will likely notch another start with Williams out of commission. Tyson Etienne is the prime candidate to fill in as the Nets’ starting point guard.

Williams missed Friday’s game against Minnesota, which allowed Jalen Wilson to start. He should remain in that role if Williams remains out. Beekman has been starting at point guard and should continue to do so if he plays. If he’s unavailable, Tyson Etienne is a candidate to move into the starting unit.

Williams and Wilson are back, with the former likely returning to the starting lineup. If so, Maxwell Lewis is most likely headed to the bench. Williams is worth rostering in deep leagues, especially with Cameron Johnson unavailable. As for Wilson, there may be too many players in the mix for rotation minutes for him to be impactful in fantasy leagues.

Williams has dealt with a hamstring injury and an illness lately. Now the Nets are giving him Thursday off for rest. With Cameron Johnson (back) also ruled out, Jalen Wilson (ankle) should have an increased role if he’s available.

Wililams has been a starter when available, while Watford has been used mainly as a reserve. However, with Noah Clowney and Day’Ron Sharpe unavailable, Watford will take on an enhanced role within the Nets’ rotation. Both players are worth streaming in deep leagues due to the absences.

Williams is back after sitting out Saturday’s loss to the Pacers with a hamstring injury. His return pushes Jalen Wilson to the bench, which lowers his fantasy ceiling. Martin will stay in the starting lineup and has some deep-league streaming value with D’Angelo Russell unavailable.

Williams was initially listed as questionable, but will ultimately miss Saturday’s game against the Pacers with a hamstring injury. Cameron Johnson will take his spot in the starting lineup as he returns from a one-game absence due to rest, but Tyrese Martin and Trendon Watford figure to see increased minutes off the bench as well.

Williams has played well recently but has a chance to miss Saturday’s game. However, Cameron Johnson (rest) will be back after sitting out on Thursday. If Williams is sidelined, Johnson will slide into the open starting spot, though Tyrese Martin and Trendon Watford will still see extra minutes off the bench.

Williams fell one point shy of tying his season-high, which he set back in November. However, he was able to set a new career-high for three-pointers made despite the loss. The 23-year-old has hit 13 three-pointers across his last three appearances and has provided top-75 value nine-cat leagues over the past two weeks. The former lottery pick has had a solid first season in Brooklyn and should continue to play a significant role for them over the final few weeks of the season.

Back in the Nets’ lineup after sitting out Sunday’s win over the Hawks, Williams has reached double figures in four straight and six of his last seven appearances. Rostered in 15 percent of Yahoo! leagues, he has been a 10th-round player in nine-cat formats since the All-Star break. Being shut down before the season ends should not be a concern regarding Williams, making him worthy of a look in deep leagues. The Nets end Week 20 with two games against the Pacers on Thursday and Saturday.

Williams is back after a one-game absence, while Clowney has missed Brooklyn’s last three. The return of the former will likely push Jalen Wilson to the bench, eliminating most of his streaming value. As for Clowney, he’ll likely siphon minutes away from Day’Ron Sharpe and Nic Claxton.

Williams has been ruled out after getting off to a strong start in March. It’s unclear who’ll fill in for him as a starter, but Jalen Wilson will likely receive major consideration.

Williams has played well as a starter and enters Sunday averaging 11.6 points and 4.6 rebounds in March, but this is a new injury designation for him. Jalen Wilson can take advantage of Williams’ absence if Williams is ruled out against Atlanta.

Williams continues to be an underrated option in fantasy basketball, and he was productive once again as a starter on Tuesday. Williams is rostered in just 14 percent of Yahoo! leagues, but what has made him a valuable streaming option is Brooklyn’s five-game week that they’re currently in the midst of. Williams has provided top-75 value in nine-cat leagues over the past week, and he could certainly continue to produce at that level for the rest of the week. They still have three more games, so it isn’t too late to reap the rewards.

Williams is the only notable change to Saturday’s starting lineup, as he’ll replace the injured Cam Johnson. Williams averaged just 10.9 points and 5.2 boards across 14 prior starts, so he’s not a recommended streaming option.

Williams has hit double figures in points in four straight and five of his last six games, one reason why he’s provided sixth-round value in eight-cat formats over the past two weeks. Also, Wednesday’s double-double was Williams’ second of the season. He’s rostered in 11 percent of Yahoo! leagues, which may increase based on the recent production. Something that may boost Williams’ fantasy value later this season would be the Nets deciding to limit Cameron Johnson’s minutes, but that isn’t guaranteed to happen. Johnson finished Wednesday’s defeat with 19 points, three rebounds, seven assists, one steal and four three-pointers in 33 minutes.
