Plays 21 minutes as starter
Williams (back) closed with 12 points (4-13 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), two rebounds, five assists and one steal over 21 minutes during Monday's 106-102 loss to the Heat.
Analysis
Williams shook off a questionable tag to suit up Monday, but he played only 21 minutes as a starter. He's played 28 or fewer minutes in four of his past five games, and rookie Ryan Nembhard, who returned to action Monday and dished out seven assists, could start to eat into Williams' minutes even more if the latter continues to struggle with his shot. Williams is shooting only 28.8 percent from the field over that aforementioned five-game stretch.

Good to go Monday
Williams (back) is available for Monday's game against the Heat.
Analysis
Williams is dealing with back tightness, but he's giving it a go for the injury-riddled Mavericks on Monday. The guard has averaged 11.8 points, 4.4 assists, 2.8 rebounds and 1.8 steals in 24.8 minutes per game across his last 13 outings, making him worth streaming in most fantasy leagues.

Seen at shootaround Monday
Williams (back), who's listed as questionable, was present for Monday's shootaround against the Heat, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports.
Analysis
Williams is in danger of missing his first game this season, but his attendance in Monday morning's shootaround is an encouraging sign that he may still suit up. If Williams is downgraded to out prior to tipoff, D'Angelo Russell and Jaden Hardy will likely see extended playing time as a result.

Iffy for Monday
Williams (back) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Heat.
Analysis
Williams is dealing with low-back tightness and is in jeopardy of missing his first game since Oct. 27. If the 26-year-old point guard is ultimately ruled out, D'Angelo Russell and Jaden Hardy are candidates for increased playing time.

Improved offensive effort
Williams racked up 18 points (6-11 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three rebounds, four assists and one steal in 32 minutes during Saturday's 102-96 loss to the Grizzlies.
Analysis
Williams got back on track, scoring 18 points on 6-for-11 shooting after going 1-for-12 in his previous appearance. Although his overall production has been somewhat inconsistent, as the starting point guard in Dallas, he should be rostered in most formats. Over his past eight games, Williams has averaged 13.1 points, 3.9 rebounds, 5.6 assists and 1.4 steals in 27.5 minutes per contest.
