Probable for Friday
Williams (quadriceps) is probable for Friday's game versus Boston.
Analyse
Williams is expected to return after sitting out the front end of this back-to-back set Thursday against the Magic. Look for him to reprise his role as a key member of the second unit in Dallas.

Ruled out Thursday
Williams is out for Thursday's game against the Magic due to a left quadriceps contusion.
Analyse
Williams had started three consecutive contests, though the Mavericks are getting Cooper Flagg (foot) back just in time to fill that void in the first unit. With Williams sitting out Thursday, Max Christie and Khris Middleton should both see a boost in minutes and are worthwhile streaming options in the majority of fantasy leagues.

Downgraded to questionable
Williams (quadriceps) is questionable for Thursday's game against Orlando.
Analyse
This is a downgrade for Williams, as the Mavericks previously listed him as probable. If Williams is unable to give it a go, the team could turn to Ryan Nembhard and AJ Johnson.

Probable for Thursday
Williams (quadriceps) is probable for Thursday's game against Orlando.
Analyse
Williams has a left quadriceps contusion, but the issue sounds minor, and the guard intends to play through it. Over his last seven games, he's averaging 15.9 points, 4.7 assists, 3.0 rebounds and 0.7 three-pointers. However, he could see a decreased role if Cooper Flagg (foot) is cleared to return.

Chips in 18 points in blowout loss
Williams posted 18 points (4-10 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 10-11 FT), four rebounds, one assist and one block across 27 minutes during Tuesday's 117-90 loss to the Hornets.
Analyse
Williams remained in the starting five for a third straight game and led all Dallas players in scoring, albeit in a blowout loss. While he wasn't extremely efficient from the field, the 26-year-old point guard got to the charity stripe often and finished with double-digit points for an eighth consecutive contest. Williams has provided a spark both in the starting five and off the bench recently, though he'll likely see fewer minutes once Cooper Flagg (foot) and Naji Marshall (finger) return to the lineup.

Puts up 14 points in defeat Sunday
Williams finished with 14 points (5-12 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three rebounds and three assists across 24 minutes during Sunday's 100-87 loss to the Thunder.
Analyse
It wouldn't be a stretch to say Williams is perhaps going through his most prolific stretch of the season. He's scored in double digits in each of his last seven appearances, with five of those coming off the bench, and the numbers back him up. He's averaging 15.7 points, 3.1 rebounds and 5.6 assists per contest over that span while shooting 52.7 percent from the floor and 37.5 percent from deep.

Leads team in Friday's loss
Williams finished with 16 points (5-14 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 4-5 FT), eight rebounds and four assists across 26 minutes during Friday's 124-105 loss to the Grizzlies.
Analyse
Getting the start in place of Cooper Flagg (foot), Williams led the Mavericks in scoring while setting a new season high in boards. The fourth-year guard has scored at least 13 points in 12 of his last 13 games (two starts) dating back to Jan. 22, averaging 15.6 points, 4.5 assists, 3.0 rebounds and 0.8 threes over that stretch while shooting 54.4 percent from the floor.

Starting Friday
Williams will start against the Grizzlies on Friday.
Analyse
With the Mavericks shorthanded in the second leg of this back-to-back set, Williams will get the starting nod for the second time this month. As a starter this season (12 games), the 26-year-old guard has averaged 14.5 points, 5.4 assists, 3.7 rebounds and 1.3 steals in 26.8 minutes per contest.
