Williams won’t be available for Sunday’s game due to an illness, meaning he’ll miss out on a shot at extended minutes with Michael Porter Jr. (rest) also sidelined. Cam Thomas’ minutes have been limited since his return from a hamstring injury, but his usage may increase even if the playing time doesn’t.

While Nic Claxton (personal) is available, his minutes restriction keeps Sharpe in the starting lineup for another game. The other change is Williams, who steps in for Terance Mann. While he isn’t a must-roster player, Williams has been more productive than Mann recently.

Due to injuries, Williams was one of three replacements in the Nets’ starting lineup on Thursday. While the scoring was solid, the steals category is where the former first-round pick stood out. Williams’ five pilfers were a career-high, and he’s recorded at least one in five straight games (11 total). If Michael Porter Jr. remains out, Williams will be worth a look for deep-league managers needing steals, but the offensive production has been inconsistent.

Williams sat out Saturday’s game against the Timberwolves, but will return after a one-game absence. The 24-year-old forward will have his usual bench role Monday against the Warriors. He hasn’t been productive enough to warrant rostering in most fantasy leagues this year.

With Terance Mann limited to 18 minutes after a two-game absence and the hard fall he took during the second half of Thursday’s game, there was more room for Williams to contribute despite coming off the bench. The former lottery pick finished with his second 20-point game of the season and first since October 24. However, while Thursday was good, Williams’ season-long fantasy value remains subpar. The only reason to consider adding him ahead of Sunday’s game against the Pelicans would be if Mann and Michael Porter Jr. can’t play.

The lone change to the lineup is Williams, who steps in for Michael Porter Jr. While he’s scored seven points on 2-of-8 shooting over the last two games, Williams did go on a run of three straight games in double figures before that. He’ll have a higher ceiling on Friday, but there should be better streaming options available on an 11-game night.

Williams has been a solid reserve for Brooklyn this season, where he has been an inconsistent source of offense. He has been able to hit shots from deep frequently, but he has been more valuable to the Nets than he has been for fantasy managers. He was one of five players to score in double figures for Brooklyn, but that wasn’t enough for them to get a win. Williams should be left on the waiver wire unless he gets the opportunity to start, which has yet to happen this season.

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.
