Thunder's Jaylin Williams: Muted impact sans Hartenstein

Williams recorded five points (2-6 FG, 1-5 3Pt), five rebounds and one assist across 14 minutes during Thursday's 134-114 victory over Cleveland.

Making his first start of the season for the Thunder in Isaiah Hartenstein's (calf) stead, Williams logged only 14 minutes and was unable to make a significant impact in the box score Thursday. Williams appears likely to split minutes with Branden Carlson as a traditional center in the interim, meaning the former could have a hard time finding increased fantasy value. The Thunder experimented with Jalen Williams as a small-ball five in their deep rotation earlier this season when they were without Hartenstein as well, and it doesn't appear initially as though there will be a direct beneficiary of the latter's absence.
