Williams scored a season-high 17 points (6-10 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 5-7 FT) to go with two steals, one rebound and one assist across 31 minutes in Friday's 114-84 loss to the Cavaliers.
EDGE Analysis
The Heat had only eight available players Friday and starting power forward Josh McRoberts was struggling early, so Williams was able to see starter-level minutes for the first time all season. While his scoring led the Heat's bench, Williams lack of impact on the defensive end hinders him both in real-life and fantasy terms. So long as the Heat are able to get back one or two players within the next few games, Williams will likely see most of his playing time -- and perhaps his spot in coach Erik Spoelstra's rotation -- dwindle.
