Upcoming unrestricted free agent guard Lou Williams plans to continue playing. The multi-time Sixth Man of the Year has been a reliable option for teams throughout most of his career. However, he took a step backward throughout the last two seasons in Atlanta, averaging only 7.4 points. Nonetheless, the 35-year-old has an excellent chance of getting back on track for a new team despite his advanced NBA age. While that doesn't mean he'll receive much interest from managers during fantasy drafts, he's certainly someone to watch, especially those in deep category formats looking for scoring and efficient shooting percentages.

Atlanta Hawks guard Lou Williams (back) is out for Game 4 of the playoff series versus Miami. No surprise here, as the 35-year-old hasn't played a game yet this postseason. However, Williams wouldn't have contributed much of anything even if he was available, so it will be business as usual for DFS managers regarding lineup construction on Sunday.

Atlanta Hawks guard Lou Williams (back) is out for Game 2 of the playoff meeting with the Miami Heat. The most recent update concerning his availability shouldn't surprise anyone, primarily since he hasn't played since the April 5th showdown with the Toronto Raptors. Williams, who averaged only 6.3 points per game during the regular season, didn't have a consistent spot in the rotation, so his absence won't impact the fantasy attractiveness of anyone on Hawks' roster.

Atlanta Hawks guard Lou Williams (back) won't be available for Game 1 of the postseason matchup against the Miami Heat. The veteran continues to deal with a sore back, an injury he's been dealing with for a while, so his absence on Sunday shouldn't surprise anyone. Williams averaged only 6.3 points throughout 56 games this season, so even if he were available, his presence wouldn't do much to benefit DFS managers.

Atlanta Hawks guard Lou Williams (back) will be sidelined once again for Friday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. The veteran is currently hampered by lower back discomfort. Williams hasn't had much of a role with the Hawks this season. He appeared in 56 games and logged just over 14 minutes per contest while averaging 6.3 points per game. Delon Wright and Bogdan Bogdanovic (ankle) will be the primary guards off the bench on Friday, assuming Bogdanovic is able to play. If he sits, fellow bench guard Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot should wind up with some extra playing time.

Atlanta Hawks shooting guard Lou Williams (back) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game vs. the Wizards due to lower back discomfort. Williams has played a limited role among the Hawks' second unit this season, averaging just 6.3 points across 14.3 minutes per night. His absence figures to kick a few additional minutes in the direction of Delon Wright, but it's unlikely that Williams being sidelined changes the Hawks' rotation math too drastically. While the three-time Sixth Man of the Year can still go get a bucket when asked, he has yet to score in double figures over his last 12 outings, making him an unviable fantasy commodity for the remainder of the year.

Atlanta Hawks guard Lou Williams (personal) won't be available against the Knicks. Bogdan Bogdanovic (quadriceps) is questionable, so the door may be open for Delon Wright to get some additional work from off the bench. Fantasy managers need to keep an eye on Bogdanovic's status because Wright's outlook will become much brighter if he is out.

Atlanta Hawks shooting guard Lou Williams (hip) has been deemed available for Thursday's game against the Bulls, halting his absence at two games due to hip discomfort. Long viewed as instant offense off the bench, Williams' fantasy viability has slid this season due to his playing time; he has not reached the 20-minute plateau since Dec. 31. Williams' return figures to slightly cut into the offensive upside of Bogdan Bogdanovic and Delon Wright, although the three-time Sixth Man of the Year has been held to single-digit scoring performances in each of his last eight outings.

Atlanta Hawks guard Lou Williams (hip) is listed as probable ahead of Thursday's game against the Chicago Bulls. The longtime veteran has missed each of the team's last two games due to left hip discomfort. It's been a rough injury stretch for the 35-year-old as he missed time early in February with a hamstring injury. If Williams winds up suiting up for Thursday's game, he'll likely cut into Delon Wright's minutes. Williams has had a quiet season overall in his 15th season in the NBA. Over 41 games, he's played 14.6 minutes per game and averaged 6.7 points and 2.0 assists per game while shooting just 39.1% from the field.

Atlanta Hawks guard Lou Williams (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Chicago Bulls. The veteran guard has been dealing with lingering hamstring issues. Honestly, the Hawks might decide to rest Williams out of precaution. He has only been playing minutes in the teens, so it won't be a huge blow to the rotation. Kevin Huerter and Delon Wright would benefit the most, assuming Williams sits out. Huerter is the better fantasy option between the two guards.

Atlanta Hawks shooting guard Lou Williams (hamstring) has been cleared to suit up for Friday's contest against the Spurs after missing two outings due to left hamstring tension. Atlanta has a rare clean injury report heading into the night, which means Williams can be expected to serve in his roughly 14-18-minute role among the second unit. While consistent, that limited playing time has seen Williams average just 6.9 points across his past 12 contests. Williams will look to find a similar rhythm to when he last faced San Antonio on Nov. 24, collecting 12 points in just 14 minutes.

Atlanta Hawks guard Lou Williams (hamstring) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Indiana Pacers. This will be his second consecutive game on the shelf as he tends to a left hamstring injury. Delon Wright and Bogdan Bogdanovic will be the team's primary guards off the bench on Tuesday, playing behind starters Trae Young and Kevin Huerter. Wright hasn't delivered much fantasy value this year while Bogdanovic has been a steady source of three-pointers and points. Williams has been playing about 15 minutes per game this year and he's averaging 6.9 points and 2.0 assists per game while shooting 39.8% from the field.

Atlanta Hawks power forward/center John Collins (shoulder) and shooting guard Lou Williams (back) have been deemed questionable to suit up for Friday's game vs. Toronto. In Collins' case, right shoulder soreness is the best case scenario after he appeared to sustain a significant injury Thursday. With Danilo Gallinari (hamstring) already out, De'Andre Hunter would stand to play an even larger role in the frontcourt if Collins is absent, with Jalen Johnson looming as an upside play. Williams has settled into a consistent 14-18-minute role off the bench, having scored at least seven points in nine straight games, albeit offering little else to keep him on the season-long radar. Fantasy managers will want to check back at tip-off for the final word.

Atlanta Hawks guard Lou Williams will be available for Friday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. The veteran guard was able to clear the league's health and safety protocols in time for this contest. Williams hasn't been much of an option this season, but the Hawks have basically an entire roster in COVID-19 protocols. That being said, Williams should play significant minutes and have some streaming appeal for Friday. He is worth looking at as a low cost DFS option as well for Friday's slate.

Atlanta Hawks guard Lou Williams has been removed from the injury report ahead of Friday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. The veteran guard has cleared COVID-19 protocols and is allowed to return to the court. The Hawks are certainly happy to have Williams back since they've been destroyed by injuries and protocols. That being said, Williams will have plenty of minutes on Friday, assuming he doesn't lack conditioning. He should be a solid streaming choice while the Hawks are shorthanded.

Atlanta Hawks point guard Trae Young and shooting guard Lou Williams remain out for Thursday's contest against Philadelphia due to the league's COVID-19 health and safety protocols. The Atlanta backcourt was thinned out Wednesday with Delon Wright and Bogdan Bogdanovic handling the vast majority of ball-handling duties. Young had been playing at an all-NBA level before being sidelined, having averaged 30.8 points and 9.9 assists across eight December contests. Williams remains a solid bench cog when available, with his absence allowing Cam Reddish to take on a significant increase in offensive duties. Check back for an update on when either member of the duo will be able to clear protocols.

Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young (shin) and guard Kevin Huerter (ankle), both listed as probable, are available for Thursday's game against the Wizards. Bogdan Bogdanovic (ankle) and Lou Williams (ankle) will also play. There was little doubt that these four would be able to suit up, so it's not particularly surprising to see that they'll take the court for a favorable matchup with Washington. Young is the center of the Hawks universe and should be treated as a must-start option whenever healthy. Bogdanovic, Huerter, and Williams have each played lesser roles to start the season- and are lukewarm options for fantasy purposes.

Atlanta Hawks guard Lou Williams (hip) will suit up for Thursday's game against Dallas. Williams missed the team's final preseason contest due to hip soreness, but it won't cost him any regular season playing time. The veteran guard appears slated for his usual 20 minutes off the bench, and he could supply a large portion of the team's second-unit offense with Danilo Gallinari (shoulder) slated to miss the game.

Atlanta Hawks guard Lou Williams (hip) appears to be a game-time decision for Thursday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. The Hawks are already without Danilo Gallinari (shoulder) so losing Williams would be a significant blow to the rotation. Delon Wright and Cam Reddish are expected to pick up the slack, assuming both players are sidelined. Reddish would be an intriguing streaming option with the Hawks shorthanded for this contest.

Atlanta Hawks shooting guard Lou Williams (hip) and power forward Danilo Gallinari (shoulder) have both earned questionable designations ahead of Thursday's season opener against Dallas. The Hawks boast terrific depth to begin the season, so holding the pair of veterans out wouldn't be a shocking decision; should that be the case, Kevin Huerter and Cam Reddish would likely nab added minutes and shots on the wing, while Solomon Hill could see extended frontcourt run. While Williams has had a tremendous run as a second unit scoring weapon, he saw just 21 minutes per game once being acquired by the Hawks down the stretch last year, severely capping his fantasy upside. In a similar ilk, Gallinari averaged just 13.3 PPG, primarily with the second unit, his lowest scoring average since 2014-15. Check back prior to tip-off to get the final word on the status of both men.
