Brandon Williams

Brandon Williams (adductor) is set to play in Monday's game against the Denver Nuggets.

Fantasy Impact

Williams will be available to play on Monday, despite initially being listed as questionable to play due to his adductor injury. He should see a solid amount of work against the Nuggets, especially with P.J. Washington (ankle) set to be sidelined for the Mavs.

Fantasy Impact

Williams is coming off seeing 26 minutes of playing time. If he sits, Ryan Nembhard would likely benefit the most.

Despite coming off the bench behind Ryan Nembhard, Brandon Williams commanded the lion's share of the playing time at point guard in Saturday's victory. He logged 26 minutes compared to Nembhard's 21, translating that opportunity into 14 points (5-of-14 FG, 4-of-5 FT), seven assists, three steals, and one block.

Fantasy Impact

The seven assists marked his highest total since a November 12 matchup against New Orleans. While his perimeter stroke is still developing—he failed to connect on a three-pointer in the win—Williams has become a player to monitor closely as the Mavericks continue to employ an unpredictable rotation in the backcourt.

Fantasy Impact

Williams is dealing with lower back tightness. If he is ruled out, D’Angelo Russell would be in line for more run.

Brandon Williams scored 15 points (4-12 FG, 1-3 3PT) while adding five rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal in Monday’s 120-96 loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Fantasy Impact

Williams has earned Dallas Mavericks head coach Jason Kidd’s trust, seeing his playing time rise from 13.7 minutes in October to 23.1 minutes in November. This month, he’s averaging 12.2 points, 2.7 rebounds, 3.7 assists and two steals. He’s a solid waiver wire option in deeper leagues for fantasy managers seeking backcourt depth.
