Williams won't start Sunday's game against the Nuggets, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.

EDGE Analysis

With the regulars resting, Williams, Isaiah Joe, Aaron Wiggins, Kenrich Williams and Ousmane Dieng started Friday's win over the Trail Blazers. However, the usual starting five will be back in action Sunday, so Jaylin will operate off the bench versus Denver.

Williams recorded 10 points (4-7 FG, 2-4 3Pt), 11 rebounds, 11 assists, two blocks and three steals over 36 minutes during Friday's 107-89 victory over Portland.

EDGE Analysis

Williams has logged several double-doubles this season, but he was able to move the ball around enough for a double-digit assist total. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (rest) is usually the assist leader for the Thunder, and his absence allowed other players to participate in ball distribution. Willams led the team in the category.

Williams is in Oklahoma City's starting lineup against Portland on Friday, Brandon Rahbar of DailyThunder.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Williams will make his first start since Jan. 23 due to Chet Holmgren (lower leg), Jalen Williams (wrist), Isaiah Hartenstein (nose) and three other Thunder players being ruled out due to injury. Williams averaged 9.2 points, 6.2 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 0.8 blocks over 23.6 minutes per game across five starts this season.

Williams recorded six points (2-3 FG, 2-3 3Pt), six rebounds, two assists and one block in 18 minutes in Monday's 131-128 overtime loss to the Timberwolves.

EDGE Analysis

Williams didn't see any playing time in the Thunder's previous two outings before knocking down two three-pointers Monday. The 22-year-old saw extended action with Chet Holmgren (rest) not playing and Isaiah Hartenstein (face) exiting early. In the month of February, Williams is averaging 4.6 points, 7.6 rebounds, 2.9 assists and 18.3 minutes in nine games played. He could see an increased role, should Hartenstein miss time with injury.

Williams closed with 13 points (5-9 FG, 3-5 3Pt), seven rebounds and three blocks across 26 minutes off the bench during Monday's 125-96 victory over the Bucks.

EDGE Analysis

The three blocks were a season high for Williams, who didn't make his season debut until just before Christmas due to hamstring issues. The third-year center has seen his workload creep upward in recent weeks, and over the last 11 games (five starts), he's averaging 7.9 points, 6.7 boards, 2.8 assists, 1.4 threes, 0.9 blocks and 0.7 steals in 21.0 minutes a contest.

Williams produced six points (3-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt), 13 rebounds, eight assists, one block and two steals in 21 minutes during Saturday's 144-110 win over the Kings.

EDGE Analysis

Williams filled the box score in Saturday's rout, turning in a season-high 13 rebounds and eight assists off Oklahoma City's bench. Although it was a strong effort by the 22-year-old, his fantasy upside should remain capped while Isaiah Hartenstein is healthy for the Thunder. That said, Williams is worthy of streaming consideration in deep leagues for managers in need of help at center.

Williams is not in the Thunder's starting lineup against the Trail Blazers on Sunday, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.

EDGE Analysis

Williams has started in the Thunder's last five games due to the absence of Isaiah Hartenstein, and over that span the former has averaged 9.2 points, 6.2 rebounds and 2.4 assists over 23.6 minutes per contest. However, with Hartenstein returning from his injury Sunday, Williams will revert to a reserve role.

Williams racked up 12 points (4-11 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 10 rebounds, three assists and one block over 31 minutes during Friday's 106-98 loss to Dallas.

EDGE Analysis

Williams posted his best game of the season Friday, recording a double-double for the first time in 2024-25 and establishing a new season-high mark in points. He's expected to experience a slight uptick in his fantasy upside due to the absence of Isaiah Hartenstein (calf). However, he's expected to return to his regular bench role once Hartenstein is deemed ready to return, which could happen as soon as next week.

Williams recorded five points (2-6 FG, 1-5 3Pt), five rebounds and one assist across 14 minutes during Thursday's 134-114 victory over Cleveland.

EDGE Analysis

Making his first start of the season for the Thunder in Isaiah Hartenstein's (calf) stead, Williams logged only 14 minutes and was unable to make a big impact in the box score Thursday. Williams appears likely to split minutes with Branden Carlson as a traditional center in the interim, meaning the former could have a hard time finding increased fantasy value. The Thunder experimented with Jalen Williams as a small-ball five in their deep rotation earlier this season when they were without Hartenstein as well, and it doesn't appear initially as though there will be direct beneficiary of the latter's absence.

Williams is starting Thursday's game against the Cavaliers, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.

EDGE Analysis

Williams will enter the starting lineup at center due to the absence of Isaiah Hartenstein (calf). This marks Williams' first start of the 2024-25 campaign.
