Rotowire
Williams accumulated 15 points (4-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 6-6 FT), six rebounds, seven assists and two steals over 28 minutes during Monday's 124-94 loss to the Timberwolves.
Williams has been a steady contributor off the bench for the Mavericks, and he's scored in double digits in all but one of his 17 appearances since the All-Star break. The bench role limits his upside a bit, but Williams can fill the stat sheet every time he steps on the hardwood, so he's a valuable option to target in most formats if he's available.

Mavericks' Brandon Williams: Modest production in return
Rotowire
Williams (concussion) supplied 11 points (3-6 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 5-7 FT), six assists and two rebounds across 19 minutes during Wednesday's 142-135 loss to the Nuggets.
Williams made his return to action after missing the previous three games due to a concussion. Though head coach Jason Kidd has been reluctant to use Williams as a full-time starter, the fifth-year guard still looks poised to remain a regular part of the rotation as the season winds down. While his production of late has been adequate, Williams doesn't necessarily need to be viewed as a must-roster player. Since moving back to a bench role March 6, Williams has averaged 10.9 points, 3.8 assists, 3.0 rebounds, 0.8 blocks, 0.6 three-pointers and 0.5 steals in 19.1 minutes per contest while shooting 47.1 percent from the field.
