Williams supplied 16 points (6-12 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, two assists, one steal and one block across 35 minutes in the Hornets' 119-113 win over the Suns on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Williams was the only other double-digit scorer besides Kemba Walker on the starting five, as he posted his second straight 16-point effort. The 14-year veteran continues to be a relatively reliable source of supplemental offensive production and rebounds, and he's propped up his final lines recently by draining multiple threes in five straight games. After a downturn in usage last season that saw him average 9.5 points (on 7.2 shot attempts per game) and 4.7 boards across 25.7 minutes, Williams is back up to 10.1 points and 5.6 boards per contest over his first 38 games this season.

Williams finished Saturday's game against Denver with 16 points (6-15 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six rebounds, a block and three steals across 34 minutes.

EDGE Analysis

Williams knocked down three shots from beyond the arc and added value on the boards, although the Hornets would fall 123-110. The 32-year-old guard has been fairly consistent for his squad of late, averaging 11.8 points, 5.6 rebounds and 1.0 steal across his previous five contests. Although his numbers aren't eye-popping, he'll continue to see plenty of opportunities within the starting lineup to do damage.

Williams compiled 14 points (5-11 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 1-1 FT), 12 rebounds, two blocks and one steal across 44 minutes Wednesday in the Hornets' 134-132 double-overtime loss to the Nets.

EDGE Analysis

Williams has quietly been on a tear over the past month, averaging 12.3 points (on 44 percent shooting from the field), 7.1 rebounds, 2.6 treys, 1.1 assists and 0.9 steals in 30.4 minutes per contest. Though he's not a standout in any one category, Williams' solid across-the-board production makes him a useful asset while he's consistently receiving 30-plus minutes. The Hornets are at full health at the moment, so there's little reason to expect Williams' playing time to dip dramatically so long as he continues to perform capably.

Williams had just four points to go with one rebound, one assist, and one steal in 26 minutes during Sunday's 119-103 loss to Boston.

EDGE Analysis

Williams struggles from the field Sunday, going 1-of-9 from the field, ending with just four points. Williams had been playing well prior to this game and is still worth holding in standard formats despite the dud here.

Williams scored a season-high 24 points (7-14 FG, 7-11 3Pt, 3-5 FT) while adding six rebounds, two assists, two steals and a block in 32 minutes during Friday's 98-86 win over the Pistons.

EDGE Analysis

The seven made three-pointers were a career high for Williams, who led all scorers on the night. The 32-year-old doesn't seem to be bothered any longer by the shoulder soreness he was dealing with earlier in the month, but even when completely healthy his production can be erratic given his secondary role in the Hornets' offense.

Williams collected 18 points (8-13 FG, 2-4 3Pt), 10 rebounds, two assists and one block across 38 minutes in Wednesday's 110-99 win over the Cavaliers.

EDGE Analysis

Williams continues to see north of 30 minutes in the game he competes in, largely due to his ability to get outside and stretch the floor from the forward position, which allows Kemba Walker to drive with less traffic. This also bodes well for Williams, who is able to make some noise by converting his chances from deep and rebounding inside. He has potential, but until he can string it together consistently for a little, he won't have steady value.

Williams acknowledged after Friday's game that he's still experiencing soreness in his shoulder, but he doesn't intend to miss any additional time, Rick Bonnell of the Charlotte Observer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Williams was held out of Wednesday's loss to Minnesota, but he returned Friday night against Denver and played 33 minutes, finishing with 14 points and 10 rebounds. The veteran said he was "pretty sore" after the game, but he's practicing Saturday and should be considered available going forward.

Williams scored 14 points (4-12 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 3-4 FT) while adding 10 rebounds, two assists and a steal in 33 minutes during Friday's 113-107 win over the Nuggets.

EDGE Analysis

It's the 32-year-old's third double-double of the season, but all three have come in the Hornets' last seven games -- and Williams missed one of those games entirely after injuring his shoulder. He looks healthy now, though, and he should continue being a solid complementary player in Charlotte's Kemba Walker-focused offense.

Williams (shoulder) will play and start Friday against the Nuggets.

EDGE Analysis

Williams is healthy faster than expected, and he'll take the floor after just a one-game absence. With him back, Michael Kidd-Gilchrist will head back to the bench.

Williams (shoulder) is a game-time decision Friday against the Nuggets.

EDGE Analysis

Williams may be able to return earlier than anticipated from his strained right shoulder. Coach James Borrego noted that is Williams is available, he will start.
