Grant Williams Fantasy Stats

Charlotte Hornets forward Grant Williams (back) will take the court against the Pacers on Friday despite dealing with some lower back soreness earlier in the day. He was initially listed as probable after sustaining the injury during Wednesday's win over the Pistons. With Miles Bridges (knee) out, the 25-year-old is expected to be part of the starting lineup. Across eight contests, Williams is averaging 8.6 points, 2.6 assists, and 4.0 rebounds in 26.0 minutes per game.

Charlotte Hornets forward Grant Williams (ankle) won't play in Friday's matchup with the Celtics. He's battling a sprained right ankle. But with the Hornets having nothing left to play for, Williams likely won't see the floor again this season. With Nick Richards (foot) also out, Williams could have handled things at the five. But with both men out, Aleksej Pokusevski is nearly a lock for all DFS contests.

Charlotte Hornets forward Grant Williams (ankle) has received a questionable tag on Friday for a revenge game against the Boston Celtics. The former Celtic has been inconsistent to say the least, but he's hit a bit of a rhythm lately as he continues to be a starter for the Hornets. With a lot of the core not able to play, Williams is likely to get as many opportunities as possible if he plays in this game. It's unclear if the Celtics are going to be resting their starters since their injury report hasn't been submitted, but Williams' value would increase if that was the case. If he can't suit up, however, Davis Bertans and Aleksej Pokusevski would be quality streaming options.

Charlotte Hornets forward/center Grant Williams (ankle) has received the all-clear to play against the Magic on Friday. He's carrying a right ankle sprain, but the team has upgraded Williams from probable to available. The 25-year-old has been a starter for the last couple of games, putting in a pair of mixed performances. He was limited to only five points on Wednesday versus Portland but started the week with a 23-point effort against Boston. A meeting with the slow-paced Magic is a rough matchup for Williams, although he has put in sold work since moving to Charlotte, averaging 13.5 points, 5.2 rebounds, and 2.9 assists in 30.1 minutes.

Charlotte Hornets forward/center Grant Williams (ankle) is probable for Friday's game against the Orlando Magic. Williams has been dealing with a right ankle injury that placed a questionable tag on him last game versus the Portland Trail Blazers. Charlotte started him and proved he was healthy enough to play 33 minutes. Williams' increased role in the offense sees him averaging 14.3 points, 5.2 rebounds, 3.3 assists, and 1.3 three-pointers made over the past twelve games. The Hornets are limping to the end of another bad season, and players like Williams will get every chance to show their value for the future on a limited roster.

Charlotte Hornets forward/center Grant Williams (ankle) will make a second consecutive start on Wednesday against Portland. He has shaken off a questionable tag ahead of the contest. Williams has taken over as the starting center following Nick Richards' (foot) exit from the lineup. Richards wasn't on the initial injury report but has now been ruled out for the game. Williams put up 23 points and grabbed seven rebounds in his previous start against Boston. He should have another good game against a weak Trail Blazers squad.

Charlotte Hornets forward Grant Williams (ankle) is questionable for Wednesday's game versus the Portland Trail Blazers. Williams has been playing heavier minutes for Charlotte lately, but his status is up in the air with a right ankle sprain. Nick Richards is off the injury list to give them more depth at the center position. Reserves like Davis Bertans, JT Thor, Aleksej Pokusevski, and Marques Bolden will receive more minutes if injuries allow it. Williams averaged 16.2 points, 5.8 rebounds, 2.5 assists, and 1.8 three-pointers on 57% shooting from the field over his most recent five games to make him a valuable fantasy option if cleared to play.

Charlotte Hornets center Nick Richards (foot) has been downgraded from questionable to out for Monday's matchup against Boston. He'll be sidelined with right plantar fascia as Charlotte finishes off a back-to-back. Grant Williams will be brought into the starting unit as Richards' replacement. This will be a tough matchup for Williams against his former team, but he'll no doubt be eager to impress. The 25-year-old has averaged 13.5 points and 6.5 rebounds in four previous starts with the Hornets.

Charlotte Hornets forward Grant Williams (back) has been upgraded from probable to available for Friday's tilt against the Philadelphia 76ers. After logging 30 minutes in Thursday's loss to the Milwaukee Bucks, Williams is good to go on the second half of Charlotte's back-to-back despite dealing with a lower back contusion. Having grown up in North Carolina, the 25-year-old stretch four has carved out a sizable bench role with the 15-44 Hornets and is providing 13.9 points, 4.9 rebounds, and 2.1 three-pointers on 37.8% shooting from deep in 28.1 minutes per game in eight contests since landing at the Feb. 8 trade deadline. Williams is worth streaming in fantasy for points and threes as Charlotte's sixth man on Friday, but with this matchup versus the Sixers showing a low 214.5-point implied total, it's probably not the suitable game environment to be digging into the bargain bin for DFS purposes.

Charlotte Hornets forward Grant Williams (back) is probable for Friday's matchup against Philadelphia. The former Celtic is troubled by a lower back contusion, but it looks like he will be able to play through the ailment. Williams has been in the lineup for eight consecutive games for the Hornets, and he's found a new lease of life in Charlotte following his disappointing stint in Dallas. Williams has averaged 13.9 points and 4.9 rebounds in 28.1 minutes with the Hornets while leading the second unit. However, Friday's game might not be a good matchup for him because Philadelphia has a good defensive record against opposing benches, with only six teams having allowed fewer bench points.
