Thunder's Jalen Williams: Productive in Wednesday's win
Rotowire
Williams closed with 18 points (7-12 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 4-4 FT), six rebounds, six assists and two steals in 32 minutes during Wednesday's 128-110 victory over the Clippers.
After sitting out the front half of a back-to-back Tuesday, Williams was back in the lineup and handled his biggest workload in seven games since returning from a hamstring strain. Oklahoma City's focus has been on making sure the fourth-year forward was 100 percent for the playoffs, so Williams' court time could be erratic over the final two games of the regular season. Since getting back on the court in late March, he's averaging 15.4 points, 5.7 assists, 4.4 boards and 0.9 steals in 25.9 minutes while shooting 50.6 percent from the floor.

Thunder's Jalen Williams: Goes for 15 points

Williams ended with 15 points (5-9 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), two rebounds and seven assists over 26 minutes during Sunday's 146-111 win over Utah.

Williams has scored at least 18 points in three of his four appearances since returning to the lineup while shooting 50 percent from the floor, but just 22.2 percent from deep, in that span.

Thunder's Jalen Williams: Comes close to double-double
Rotowire
Williams totaled 18 points (8-16 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-4 FT), six rebounds, eight assists and one steal in 27 minutes during Friday's 131-113 victory over Chicago.

Look for Williams to continue operating as one of the main secondary options on offense behind Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. From a volume perspective, it's worth noting that his 16 shot attempts were his highest since he took 17 against the Lakers on Feb. 9.

Thunder's Jalen Williams: Struggles with shot in loss
Rotowire
Williams chipped in seven points (2-9 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT), three rebounds and three assists across 24 minutes during Wednesday's 119-109 loss to the Celtics.
Williams was playing just his second game since missing multiple weeks with a hamstring injury, and he had a rough performance against one of the league's best defenses. Williams was coming off an 18-point performance in the win over the 76ers on Monday, so fantasy managers shouldn't worry too much about one subpar game. Williams needs to shake off the rust and be as healthy as possible with the playoffs right around the corner. During that ramp-up process, he should continue to operate as the Thunder's No. 2 option on offense, giving him a decent floor on most slates.

Williams made his return from a 16-game absence due to a right hamstring strain and turned in an effective performance in a comfortable Thunder win. The 24-year-old has endured a frustrating season, with injuries limiting him to just 27 games thus far. He's now averaging 17.5 points per game, but that mark is his lowest since his 2022-23 rookie campaign, and he's converting at career-low rates from the field (48.3 percent) and three-point range (31.3 percent).

Thunder's Jalen Williams: Cleared to play Monday
Rotowire
Williams (hamstring) has been removed from the Thunder injury report and will be available to play Monday against the 76ers.
Williams has missed the Thunder's past 16 games after aggravating a right hamstring strain in Oklahoma City's penultimate contest before the All-Star break, but after an extended period of rest and recovery, he's ready to return to action. Given the length of his absence, Williams will likely be eased in with a relatively light workload, and he'll presumably operate with a minute restriction for multiple games. His return Monday -- even in a limited capacity -- will likely lower the minutes ceilings of nearly all of the Thunder's wing and forward options. Before his latest shutdown, Williams had appeared in 26 games for Oklahoma City and averaged 17.5 points, 5.4 assists, 4.7 rebounds, 1.3 steals and 0.8 three-pointers in 29.1 minutes while shooting 47.9 percent from the field and 31.3 percent from downtown.
