Shines with 27 points
Williamson amassed 27 points (8-18 FG, 11-16 FT), 10 rebounds, seven assists and three steals over 37 minutes during Friday's 120-116 overtime loss to the Spurs.
Analysis
Williamson equaled his strong scoring total from the Pelicans' first game, while upping his rebounds and assists. Some of his misses can be attributed to blocks from Victor Wembanyama, but Williamson would not be denied, finishing with authority and generating 16 free throw attempts. Through two games, he also has eight steals, which leads the NBA. New Orleans has a weekend break before hosting Boston Monday night.

Strong start to campaign
Williamson finished with 27 points (10-21 FG, 7-12 FT), nine rebounds, five assists and five steals in 33 minutes during Wednesday's 128-122 loss to the Grizzlies.
Analysis
Williamson, who looks rejuvenated after spending the offseason getting into top shape, was the clear No. 1 option on offense Wednesday with plenty of ball-handling responsibilities as well. He was flying around the court defensively too, finishing one steal shy of his career-high mark of six. If he can stay healthy, and that's a big if, Williamson could have a monster fantasy campaign, especially in punt builds for free throws or three-pointers.
