Williams will miss a second straight game with this foot injury. Malachi Smith and Trevon Scott should continue to play extended minutes off the bench with Williams unavailable. Both played over 20 minutes on Sunday, though neither was productive.

Williams is out after playing 21 minutes off the bench in Friday’s loss to the Hawks. His absence frees up minutes among the Nets’ reserves, including Malachi Smith and Trevon Scott. Smith offers higher upside, but both players are risky streaming options.

Williams started seven of eight games before being a DNP- Coach’s Decision in Brooklyn’s last game. Terance Mann (Achilles) is out, so Williams will return to the starting unit, where he has scored in double figures in five straight games.

Williams has started each of the Nets’ last five games, and he’s scored at least 16 points in each. Over the past week, he has provided sixth-round value in eight-cat formats. As long as Williams is in the starting lineup, he’s capable of providing the value needed to be an impactful addition during the silly season. The Nets play once more in Week 22, on Sunday against the Kings, which would be a good spot to stream Williams if he’s available.

Williams impressed on both ends of the floor in his 24 minutes of game action. Offensively, he shot the ball well from the field and produced at the charity stripe to end with a team-high in points. Yet, his activity on the defensive end is what really yielded some eye-popping numbers, specifically, how his disruptiveness led to him collecting over one-third of the team’s 17 steals. Williams has now tallied at least 16 points in four straight games and multiple steals in three consecutive games. He’s rarely playing more than half the game on most nights recently, but could be a useful streaming option in fantasy leagues.

Williams played 24 minutes on Monday, and he finished a blocked shot shy of a complete stat line. He has started the Nets’ last three games, scoring in double figures in each. However, Williams has not played more than 25 minutes in any of those appearances, which limits his upside. There isn’t much to gain from rostering Williams at this point in the season, given the playing time.

A starter in Brooklyn’s last two games, Williams has totaled 35 points, six rebounds, four assists, three steals, one blocked shot and four three-pointers in losses to the Knicks and Kings. His value moving forward depends on the availability of Noah Clowney (wrist), who did not play in either matchup. The Nets play in Portland on Monday, and Williams may be worth a look in deep leagues if Clowney misses another game.

With Michael Porter Jr. (ankle) and Noah Clowney (wrist) sidelined due to injury, Williams was inserted into the Nets’ starting lineup on Friday. And he had a good night, shooting 60 percent from the field and recording a line that only lacked a blocked shot. The Nets now head west, with the first game of their trip scheduled for Sunday in Sacramento. With Clowney unlikely to play, Williams would be worth the streaming risk if Porter also remains out.

Friday’s game is the first the Nets have played since losing Noah Clowney to a sprained right wrist. Williams moves into the starting lineup, which shifts Wolf from small forward to power forward.

Williams was listed as questionable with left hand soreness, but has since been cleared for Friday’s game against the Knicks. The 24-year-old small forward doesn’t have much fantasy value coming off the bench for the Nets.

Williams is dealing with a sore left hand. If he can’t play on Friday, Malachi Smith and Tyson Etienne may pick up additional minutes off the bench, but neither player is worth streaming.

Williams also missed Tuesday’s game against the Pistons. He’ll now sit out his second straight game, which means more minutes for Terance Mann and Jalen Wilson, among others.

Williams was held out of Tuesday’s loss to the Pistons, freeing up additional minutes for fellow reserve Jalen Wilson. With Michael Porter Jr. (ankle) ruled out, there should be more minutes available to Williams and Wilson on Thursday, provided the former is available.

All eight of Williams’ official shot attempts on Saturday came for beyond the arc. The five three-pointers matched his season-high, and the Nets wing has shot 9-of-18 from deep over his last three games. While Williams was not the choice to move into the starting lineup in the aftermath of Egor Dëmin’s foot injury, he offers a higher upside than Terance Mann (seven points, four rebounds, two assists and one block), who is now starting.

Williams will miss a second consecutive game for personal reasons. While his absence doesn’t affect fantasy basketball, it should result in more opportunities for rookies Danny Wolf and Drake Powell.

Williams’ absence isn’t particularly notable, given his limited production this season. His vacated minutes should be absorbed in some combination by Danny Wolf and Drake Powell.

Williams has missed the last three games with a calf contusion, but he is expected to return to take on Los Angeles. Williams’ absence opened the door for Jalen Wilson to take on a larger role, so he should lose out on minutes with Williams likely back.

Williams will miss a second consecutive game with a left calf contusion, freeing up minutes for some of the Nets’ other reserves. Jalen Wilson and Tyrese Martin have seen their opportunities increase, but neither is at the point where they should be streamed.

Williams is dealing with a left calf contusion, hence his appearance on the Nets’ injury report. The schedule may also be a factor, as Brooklyn also has a game on Friday. Jalen Wilson and Tyrese Martin should pick up rotation minutes after not seeing any action in Tuesday’s loss to the Suns, with the latter being inactive.

Williams has reached double figures in four of his last five appearances. However, Monday’s game was his first since January 7, after he missed six games due to illness. Williams’ season-long fantasy value has not been good enough to make him a player worth rostering, and one solid effort won’t change that.

Due to an illness (four games) and conditioning (two), Williams has missed the Nets’ last six games. His return on Monday gives the Nets added perimeter depth, which is vital since Egor Dëmin and Cam Thomas are out. Given the time missed, Williams will likely be under a minutes restriction in his first game back.

Williams will miss a sixth consecutive game due to injury. However, while the first four absences were due to an illness, the last two were due to a need to get his conditioning up to par. With Drake Powell (knee) also out, Nolan Traoré should play plenty. However, while the rookie may have added fantasy value after the trade deadline, Traoré is not a must-stream player at the moment.

After missing four games with an illness, Williams is now in the “return to competition conditioning” phase of his recovery. Drake Powell, who’s started the last two games, and Nolan Traoré have seen their minutes increase recently, and that should continue to be the case the rest of the season.

This will be a fourth straight absence for Williams, and while he did start in his last appearance, the Nets’ starting lineup has been a revolving door. Danny Wolf and Jalen Wilson should see extra minutes with Williams still out.

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.
