Questionable with sprained ankle
Williams is questionable for Thursday's game against Charlotte due to a right ankle sprain.
Analysis
It's worth noting Thursday is the second night of back-to-back games for the Mavericks. If Williams ends up sitting out against the Hornets, Jaden Hardy and Ryan Nembhard could be worth considering as streamers.

Scores 17 points in loss
Williams provided 17 points (4-10 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 8-12 FT), five rebounds and three assists across 24 minutes during Wednesday's 118-105 loss to Minnesota.
Analysis
Williams briefly exited Wednesday's game with a right foot issue, and while he was able to return and play through it, it wouldn't be shocking to see him pop up on the injury report ahead of Thursday's matchup with Charlotte. If Williams needs to sit out the second leg of this back-to-back set, his minutes would likely be divvied up amongst Jaden Hardy and Ryan Nembhard.

Absent from injury report
Williams (knee) is off the injury report for Wednesday's game against Minnesota.
Analysis
Williams had been iffy for Sunday's game against the Bucks due to right knee soreness before the contest was postponed, but he's ready to roll Wednesday. The guard is averaging 17.5 points, 3.8 rebounds and 3.0 assists in 23.0 minutes per game over his last six appearances, shooting a sizzling 58.5 percent from the field.

Dealing with right knee issue
Williams is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bucks due to right knee soreness.
Analysis
Williams may have tweaked his knee during the Mavericks' 116-110 loss to the Lakers on Saturday, when he recorded 20 points, four rebounds and four assists over 23 minutes off the bench. Williams would likely take on an expanded role if available Sunday due to Cooper Flagg (ankle) and Klay Thompson (knee) both being listed as doubtful.

Big night off bench
Williams accumulated 20 points (8-17 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 4-5 FT), four rebounds and four assists across 23 minutes off the bench during Saturday's 116-110 loss to the Lakers.
Analysis
The 26-year-old guard's three-point shot has deserted him this season, but Williams is making up for it in the mid-range. He's scored 20-plus points in three of the last six games (two starts), averaging 17.5 points, 3.8 boards, 3.0 assists and 0.8 combined steals and blocks in 23.2 minutes a contest over that stretch while shooting 58.5 percent from the floor, but going just 2-for-11 (18.2 percent) from beyond the arc.
