Williamson produced 18 points (6-8 FG, 6-8 FT), four rebounds and three assists across 25 minutes during Sunday's 134-102 loss to the Rockets.
Williamson missed just two shots from the floor and two of his eight attempts from the free-throw line, but he didn't do much in other categories. The former Duke standout saw his streak of games with at least 20 points end at four contests, but he remains a reliable go-to option on offense for a Pelicans team that's no longer in the running for a playoff berth. Williamson is averaging 20.7 points, 5.4 rebounds and 2.5 assists per game in 14 games since the beginning of March.

Rotowire
Williamson posted 22 points (9-13 FG, 4-4 FT), seven rebounds and four assists across 31 minutes during Friday's 119-106 loss to Toronto.
Williamson has surpassed the 20-point plateau in four games in a row, and he's scored at least 20 in nine of his 13 appearances since the beginning of March. Williamson has managed to stay healthy throughout the majority of the campaign and has logged 58 regular-season appearances already. This could be his second-best season in terms of games played -- he's played more than 60 regular-season contests just twice in his career.

Rotowire
Williamson closed Tuesday's 121-116 loss to the Knicks with 22 points (8-10 FG, 6-8 FT), four rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal across 34 minutes.
Williamson needed just 10 field-goal attempts to surpass the 20-point threshold during Tuesday's loss.

Williamson logged 23 points (10-14 FG, 3-5 FT), nine rebounds, five assists and one steal in 29 minutes during Thursday's 133-123 victory over the Kings.
The 23 points led the Pelicans on the night.

Pelicans' Zion Williamson: Sidelined with sprained ankle
Rotowire
Williamson (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Clippers.
Williamson will miss the second leg of the Pelicans' back-to-back set after spraining his right ankle in the second quarter Saturday's win over the Jazz. The absence brings an end to Williamson's streak of 35 consecutive games played -- the longest of his career. With Williamson sidelined Sunday, the Pelicans should have more minutes available in the frontcourt for Derik Queen and Karlo Matkovic.

Rotowire
Williamson produced 20 points (9-15 FG, 2-3 FT), four rebounds, four assists, one block and four steals across 33 minutes during Thursday's 129-118 victory over the Jazz.
Williamson had his way against Utah's shorthanded frontcourt in the decisive win, and his total would have likely been higher if he had stayed in the game during the closing minutes. Although the team's playoff hopes are thwarted, they've racked up a three-game win streak thanks to strong performances from Williamson and Saddiq Bey.

Rotowire
Williamson posted 25 points (12-19 FG, 1-2 FT), four rebounds and three assists in 33 minutes during Wednesday's 123-111 loss to the Heat.
Williamson has already played more games than he did all of last year, and he hasn't missed a contest since Dec. 11. It remains to be seen how the 15-41 Pelicans will handle the oft-injured star forward's workload when they return from the All-Star break, but fantasy managers can enjoy Williamson's production in the meantime. Over his last 10 outings, Williamson is averaging 20.7 points, 7.3 rebounds and 3.8 assists in 32.3 minutes per game while shooting 58.9 percent from the field.

Williamson was limited to just 12 points on 5-for-12 shooting during Tuesday's loss to the Nuggets, so it was nice to see him bounce back Wednesday night with an efficient, 20-plus point performance. The Nets couldn't do much to stop him, as he regularly attacked the rack and had more than a few massive throwdowns, and he'll look to keep it going Friday with another favorable matchup against the Pacers.
