Williams posted 11 points (4-6 FG, 3-3 FT), six assists and two rebounds in 17 minutes of action in Sunday's 124-95 win against the Rockets.
EDGE Analysis
While Williams hasn't received much playing time recently, the guard was able to make the most out of the minutes he had Sunday, notching a month-high six assists. Expect the guard to continue to receive limited minutes going into the playoffs.

Williams will come off the bench for Friday's contest against the 76ers, Kevin Chouinard of the Hawks' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Tony Snell is entering the starting five, so Williams will resume his sixth-man role. This month, he's averaged 12.1 points, 3.5 assists and 2.0 rebounds in 24.0 minutes.

Williams scored 10 points (2-7 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 6-7 FT) while adding eight rebounds, five assists and one steal over 31 minutes in Wednesday's 127-83 loss to the 76ers.
EDGE Analysis
Williams tied Clint Capela for a team-high eight boards, but there weren't many other positives to be found. Had it not been for his six successful free throws, Williams' night could have been much more forgettable. Still, it was a decent return after he missed a game to illness. Williams has now scored in double figures in each of his last five games.

Williams will start Wednesday's game against the 76ers, Brad Rowland of Locked On Hawks reports.
EDGE Analysis
With a number of regulars, including Bogdan Bogdanovic (hamstring), Trae Young (ankle) and Kevin Huerter (shoulder), all out, Williams will move into the lineup for his first start since joining the Hawks at the deadline. The veteran should be set for increased minutes after missing Monday's game with an illness.

Williams (illness) is not on the injury report for Wednesday's game against the 76ers, Brad Rowland of Locked On Hawks reports.
EDGE Analysis
As expected, the veteran will be available after a minor, non-COVID-19 illness kept him out of Monday night's loss to Detroit. With Trae Young (ankle) out, Kevin Huerter (shoulder) doubtful and Brandon Goodwin (ankle) questionable, Williams could be set for a decent bump in minutes Wednesday night.

Williams (illness) is expected to play Wednesday against the 76ers, Mike Conti of the Atlanta Hawks Radio Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
General manager Travis Schlenk said that Williams, who missed Monday's loss to the Pistons due to flu-like symptoms, was feeling better when the team flew to Philadelphia later in the evening. Williams could be looking at a fairly heavy workload if he is indeed available, given that the Atlanta backcourt is decimated by injuries at the moment.

Williams was ruled out for Monday's game at Detroit with flu-like symptoms, Brad Rowland of PeachtreeHoops.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 34-year-old could have enjoyed an expanded workload in the continued absence of Trae Young (ankle), but the Hawks will instead be down another guard. Kris Dunn (ankle) is probable to make his season debut Monday, which could help cover Williams' absence.

Williams is averaging 13.0 points, 4.0 assists, 1.7 rebounds and 1.7 three-pointers in 23.3 minutes per game over the Hawks' last three contests.
EDGE Analysis
The Hawks have been without Trae Young (ankle) for their last two games, with Williams putting up 13 and 15 points in wins over the Heat and Bucks during that span. Young appears unlikely to make it back at any point during the Hawks' upcoming four-game week, so Williams and Brandon Goodwin should both be in line for expanded profiles out of the backcourt. Williams looks like a decent streaming option in weekly leagues for fantasy managers looking for aid in points, three-pointers, assists and free-throw percentage.

Williams managed 22 points (6-14 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 8-9 FT), three rebounds and two assists in 24 minutes during Tuesday's 112-96 win over the Magic.
EDGE Analysis
Williams' 22 points were his highest mark since joining the Hawks and his highest mark overall since he scored 30 points in a start on Valentine's Day. He's provided a spark off the bench for the Hawks, and Tuesday's performance broke a three-game single-digit scoring stretch.

Williams posted 13 points (5-11 FG, 3-5 3Pt), four assists and a rebound across 29 minutes in Sunday's 105-101 win over the Hornets.
EDGE Analysis
Williams is no stranger to logging significant minutes in a reserve role, as the veteran has made a living as one of the best sixth-men in the game. It appears that he's continuing that trend in his return to Atlanta. Since joining the Hawks, Williams has averaged 12.5 points, 3.7 assists and 2.0 rebounds across six games. His total on Sunday will give those numbers a boost.
