Fri Mar 117:34Grant Williams Available Friday
Charlotte Hornets forward Grant Williams (back) has been upgraded from probable to available for Friday's tilt against the Philadelphia 76ers. After logging 30 minutes in Thursday's loss to the Milwaukee Bucks, Williams is good to go on the second half of Charlotte's back-to-back despite dealing with a lower back contusion. Having grown up in North Carolina, the 25-year-old stretch four has carved out a sizable bench role with the 15-44 Hornets and is providing 13.9 points, 4.9 rebounds, and 2.1 three-pointers on 37.8% shooting from deep in 28.1 minutes per game in eight contests since landing at the Feb. 8 trade deadline. Williams is worth streaming in fantasy for points and threes as Charlotte's sixth man on Friday, but with this matchup versus the Sixers showing a low 214.5-point implied total, it's probably not the suitable game environment to be digging into the bargain bin for DFS purposes.

Fri Mar 117:05Grant Williams Probable For Friday's Game
Charlotte Hornets forward Grant Williams (back) is probable for Friday's matchup against Philadelphia. The former Celtic is troubled by a lower back contusion, but it looks like he will be able to play through the ailment. Williams has been in the lineup for eight consecutive games for the Hornets, and he's found a new lease of life in Charlotte following his disappointing stint in Dallas. Williams has averaged 13.9 points and 4.9 rebounds in 28.1 minutes with the Hornets while leading the second unit. However, Friday's game might not be a good matchup for him because Philadelphia has a good defensive record against opposing benches, with only six teams having allowed fewer bench points.

Fri Feb 915:57Grant Williams, Kyle Lowry Out Against Bucks
Charlotte Hornets forward Grant Williams (recently traded) and guard Kyle Lowry won't suit up for Friday's contest against the Milwaukee Bucks. Williams could eventually play a meaningful role for the Hornets upon his debut, so while he's worth watching in season-long fantasy leagues, the 25-year-old won't play on Friday. Lowry's status is worth noting because general manager Mitch Kupchak previously stated the veteran guard wouldn't play before Thursday's trade deadline. Lowry remains away from the team, meaning they could still be working toward a buyout. With LaMelo Ball (ankle) and Mark Williams (back) on the shelf, Charlotte is going to be razor-thin both inside and out on Friday. The offense will center around Miles Bridges and Brandon Miller, but it's a nightmarish draw against a Bucks team that was just blown out on their home floor on Thursday.

Wed Jan 2420:19Grant Williams Gets Starting Nod
Dallas Mavericks forward Grant Williams will move into the starting five ahead of Wednesday's game against the Phoenix Suns. The Mavs are without star guard Kyrie Irving (thumb) for this game. As a result, Williams will get the start to try and fill the void left by Irving. He's a decent 3-and-D player, but probably won't do enough to warrant streaming in most fantasy formats. Tim Hardaway Jr. is the better fantasy option even with him coming off the bench.

Sat Jan 1309:52Grant Williams Probable For Meeting With Pelicans
Dallas Mavericks forward Grant Williams (ankle) is expected to be in the lineup Saturday against New Orleans, with the team listing him as probable on the injury report. Williams has been battling through a right ankle sprain and appears to be ready to continue doing so on Saturday versus Zion Williamson and his crew. The 25-year-old will enter the battle off the back of one of his better outings as a Maverick, as Williams notched 11 points, six rebounds, and three assists with one block in Thursday's win over the Knicks. Despite his injury, Williams logged 27 minutes on Thursday, which marks his largest workload in six appearances.

Thu Jan 1110:00Grant Williams Questionable Thursday
Dallas Mavericks forward Grant Williams (ankle) hasn't been able to shake off a questionable tag ahead of Thursday's encounter with the Knicks. He's played in the past two games despite being on the injury report with a right ankle sprain, although Williams was limited to only seven minutes on Tuesday against the Grizzlies. The 25-year-old made a good start to his Mavericks career, but he's been quiet for quite a bit now, and it's difficult for Williams to please fantasy managers in a reserve role.

Mon Jan 821:37Grant Williams Listed As Probable For Tuesday
Dallas Mavericks forward Grant Williams (ankle) is listed as probable for Tuesday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. Williams made his return to the court on Sunday and played 20 minutes off the bench in that contest. It's worth noting that Dereck Lively II (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Tuesday's game. That could mean more playing time for Williams, but Dwight Powell will probably benefit the most here. Williams should remain a possible streaming option in deep leagues.

Sun Jan 718:59Grant Williams Will Be Available Against Timberwolves
Dallas Mavericks forward Grant Williams (ankle) was upgraded from questionable to available late on Sunday evening ahead of their game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. He was forced to miss their last contest against the Portland Trail Blazers while he dealt with a right ankle sprain, but that will be the only absence due to this ailment. Recently, it seems whether or not Williams gets the starting nod depends on the matchup. He may get the start in this one due to Dereck Lively II (ankle) and Maxi Kleber (toe) both missing the game. Williams is more fantasy-relevant when it comes to deeper leagues since he's not a great source of consistent stats.

Sat Jan 623:35Grant Williams May Not Play On Sunday
Dallas Mavericks forward Grant Williams (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's game versus the Timberwolves. He's dealing with a sprained right ankle, keeping him out of the lineup in Friday's win over the Portland Trail Blazers. Luka Doncic (ankle) didn't play in that game, either, so Williams could have gotten more involved offensively. At any rate, if Williams can suit up and Doncic can't, he is worth considering as a streaming option for fantasy managers. However, the former Celtic will be a risky option in any format.

Fri Jan 517:01Grant Williams Uncertain For Friday
Dallas Mavericks forward Grant Williams (ankle) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. Both Williams and Dereck Lively II (ankle) were injured during Wednesday's game. Between the two, Lively has been much more impactful on the court this season. Dwight Powell is expected to see more run if one or both of them sit out. Williams has seen his role become limited due to the presence of Derrick Jones Jr. in the rotation. Jones would likely see more run if Williams is unable to play.

Thu Jan 409:24Grant Williams Exits Early With An Ankle Sprain
Dallas Mavericks forward Grant Williams couldn't finish Wednesday's game against Portland due to a right ankle sprain. He logged 15 minutes in a blowout win, scoring two points while registering two rebounds and two assists. Dallas has a rematch with the Trail Blazers scheduled for Friday night, so Williams has to recover quickly if he doesn't want to miss any games. The former Celtic has been coming off the bench lately, and his absence won't have a major impact in fantasy basketball, although the rest of the second unit, spearheaded by Tim Hardaway Jr., will have a chance to soak in a few extra minutes of action without him.

Mon Dec 11 202310:00Grant Williams Misses Third Straight Game On Monday
Dallas Mavericks forward Grant Williams (knee) will miss a third consecutive game Monday against Memphis. He's battling a bone bruise on his right knee and still needs some time to heal. Playing as a regular starter in Texas, Williams is averaging 9.8 points, 3.7 rebounds, and 1.7 assists this season. Dante Exum has been Williams' replacement in the starting unit, and he's had a pair of strong performances to pop on the radar as a potential short-term pickup for fantasy managers. Williams' next chance to return comes on Tuesday against the Lakers.

Fri Dec 8 202315:30Grant Williams Will Be Sidelined On Friday
Dallas Mavericks forward Grant Williams (knee) will watch from the sidelines on Friday as the team takes on the Portland Trail Blazers. Williams is dealing with some knee soreness right now and it seems like the Mavericks are being cautious and giving him some extra rest against a weaker opponent after they beat Utah by 50. This will be Williams's second consecutive game missed, so Derrick Jones Jr. and Olivier-Maxence Prosper will continue to see the extra minutes. Jones was the one to move into the starting five in their last matchup, so that will likely remain the same.

Wed Dec 6 202317:59Grant Williams Receives Questionable Tag Against Jazz
Dallas Mavericks forward Grant Williams (knee) has been listed as questionable for their Wednesday night game against the Utah Jazz as he deals with right knee soreness. The 25-year-old has seen some very inconsistent output so far this season despite playing the most minutes per contest of his career. If he's unable to play, the rookie Olivier-Maxence Prosper may step up into the starting five unless the team decides to go with a small-ball approach. Fantasy managers will want to check for any updates closer to tipoff to see if Williams will remain in the starting lineup.

Wed Jul 5 202322:34Mavericks Acquire Grant Williams Via Sign-And-Trade
The Dallas Mavericks are acquiring forward Grant Williams in a three-way sign-and-trade deal on Wednesday. The 24-year-old restricted free agent wasn't allowed to sign offer sheets until July 6th, but the teams found a way around it. Williams has reportedly agreed to a contract worth $54 million over four years. In exchange, the Celtics will receive two future second-round picks for Williams. Also, the San Antonio Spurs receive Reggie Bullock and an unprotected pick swap with the Mavericks in 2030. This was a good move for the Celtics who had Williams stuck in an inconsistent role in Boston. Last season, he averaged a career-high 8.1 points and 4.6 rebounds in 25.9 minutes per game. He should be able to find himself with a better role in Dallas, which will hopefully lead to reliable fantasy value.

Wed Jul 5 202301:05Grant Williams Drawing Interest From Multiple Teams?
Restricted free-agent power forward Grant Williams is receiving interest from the Atlanta Hawks, Charlotte Hornets, Dallas Mavericks, and New York Knicks, per Jared Weiss of The Athletic. With the Boston Celtics exploring sign-and-trade scenarios, the team reportedly wants a first-round pick in return for the 24-year-old. It's a steep cost for Williams, who recorded a somewhat efficient, yet pedestrian 8.1 points, 4.6 rebounds, and 1.5 threes on 39.5% shooting from deep across 25.9 minutes per game last season. The former first-rounder represents a versatile defender and decent spot-up wing, but Boston might be hard pressed to find a suitor for their price.

Wed Jun 21 202319:35Grant Williams Sign-And-Trade Could Still Happen

The 24-year-old is coming off hand surgery, but it doesn't appear that's going to impact his value. Williams has been a key contributor for this championship contending roster for multiple seasons. However, the organization might not need Williams if they finalize this trade to acquire big man Kristaps Porzingis. That being said, the Celtics might be willing to do a sign-and-trade with Williams in order to upgrade their team in other areas. Honestly, a move elsewhere might be good for the fantasy value of Williams.

Boston Celtics forward Grant Williams (hand) underwent successful surgery on his left hand on Friday, according to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.
