Johnathan Williams Logs Second Career Double-Double
Los Angeles Lakers power forward Johnathan Williams played 27 minutes off the bench during Thursdays loss to the Golden State Warriors and notched the second double-double of his professional career with 17 points and 13 rebounds to his credit. The nature of the blowout loss, combined with Kyle Kuzmas absence, allowed him to see a large chunk of time off the bench, but the Lakers are likely to have plenty of minutes to go around over the final three outings of the 2018-19 slate. Williams could be worth the DFS risk in an up-tempo matchup against the Los Angeles Clippers come Friday, although its worth checking on Kuzmas status before deploying Williams in any lineups.
