Williams recorded 10 points (4-10 FG, 2-4 3Pt) and three rebounds in 25 minutes during Monday's 130-113 victory over Utah.
EDGE Analysis
Williams played through a finger injury Monday night, and he came off the bench for a third straight game. He has fared much better in the second unit, as he doesn't have to compete for touches with Zach LaVine, DeMar DeRozan and Nikola Vucevic nearly as much.

Williams (finger) will play Monday against the Jazz, Cody Westerlund of 670TheScore.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
As expected, Williams has been upgraded from probable to available and will continue to play through a finger issue. After starting Chicago's first five games of the season, Williams has shifted to a bench role in favor of Torrey Craig. As a reserve (two appearances), Williams has averaged 8.5 points, 4.0 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.5 blocks in 24.5 minutes per game.

Williams (finger) is listed as probable for Monday's game against Utah.
EDGE Analysis
Williams logged his full workload in Saturday's loss to Denver, so his inclusion on the injury report is likely precautionary. The 22-year-old is tough to trust in fantasy at the moment regardless of his health.

Williams will come off the bench Friday against the Nets.
EDGE Analysis
Torrey Craig will slide into the starting five in place of Williams. It's no secret that Williams has been struggling, as he's been held scoreless in two of his past three games. Maybe a move to the second unit will generate more offensive opportunities for him.

Williams chipped in zero points (0-6 FG, 0-5 3Pt), three rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal in 25 minutes during Wednesday's 114-105 loss to the Mavericks.
EDGE Analysis
Williams wasn't able to hit any of his six shots while finishing with a minus-eight point differential, which was second-worst on the team, and this was the second time he hasn't scored a point in a game this year. He'll never be the main scoring option for the Bulls with DeMar DeRozan, Zach LaVine and Nikola Vucevic, but Williams hasn't attempted more than six shots in the last four games and is shooting just 26.7 percent from the field this season.

Williams registered nine points (3-6 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, one block and one steal over 22 minutes during Monday's 112-105 victory over the Pacers.
EDGE Analysis
Williams has racked up six steals in four games, but that's about the only silver lining from the 22-year-old's early season performance. Williams is attempting just 6.0 shots per game while failing to make an impact on the glass (3.3 rebounds per game).
