Good to go Sunday
Williams (back) is available for Sunday's game against the Wizards.
Analysis
Williams will shed his questionable tag due to lower-back soreness and suit up for a third consecutive contest. The backup big man has averaged 6.0 points, 7.6 rebounds and 1.0 blocks in 16.2 minutes per game over his last five appearances.

Trending toward playing Sunday
Trail Blazers interim head coach Tiago Splitter said Williams (back) is expected to be available for Sunday's game against the Wizards, Sean Highkin of Rip City Radio 620 Portland reports.
Analysis
Williams is officially listed as questionable, but assuming he makes it through his pregame routine no worse for the wear, he should be cleared to back up Donovan Clingan on Sunday. Over his 10 appearances thus far in March, Williams is averaging 8.2 points, 8.6 rebounds and 1.6 blocks in 18.8 minutes per game while shooting 65 percent from the field.

Iffy for Sunday
Williams (back) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Wizards.
Analysis
Williams is in jeopardy of missing Sunday's contest due to lower-back soreness. If the backup big man is unable to play, Kris Murray and Sidy Cissoko are candidates for increased playing time, while Yang Hansen could enter the rotation.

Will play Friday
Williams (knee) is available for Friday's game against Dallas.
Analysis
Williams drew the questionable tag for Friday's game due to a left knee injury, but the veteran center has been cleared to play against the Mavericks. He has averaged 7.9 points, 8.4 rebounds and 1.7 blocks over 18.8 minutes per game across 13 outings since the All-Star break.

Questionable for Friday
Williams (knee) is questionable to play Friday versus the Mavericks.
Analysis
Williams logged only 13 minutes in Wednesday's win over Milwaukee, and Friday's game is not part of a back-to-back set, so it would be somewhat surprising to see Williams receive a rest day. However, if he is ruled out, that will open up minutes for Yang Hansen.

Available to play
Williams (knee) will play Wednesday against the Bucks, Danny Marang of 1080 The Fan Portland reports.
Analysis
Williams is back after a one-game absence, which could result in Yang Hansen getting bumped from the rotation. Williams is averaging 6.8 points, 7.0 rebounds and 1.5 blocks per game this season.

Iffy for Wednesday
Williams (knee) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Bucks.
Analysis
Williams took a seat for Monday's game against the Nets due to left knee injury management, and the Blazers are unsure if the big man will take the court Wednesday. Expect an update from the team closer to tipoff.

Won't play Monday
Williams (knee) is out for Monday's game against the Nets.
Analysis
The 28-year-old big man is sitting out the second half of Portland's back-to-back set. Yang Hansen was summoned from the G League's Rip City Remix earlier Monday and could enter the rotation behind Donovan Clingan versus Brooklyn. Sidy Cissoko is also a candidate to see increased playing time.
