Lou Williams Fantasy Stats

Upcoming unrestricted free agent guard Lou Williams plans to continue playing. The multi-time Sixth Man of the Year has been a reliable option for teams throughout most of his career. However, he took a step backward throughout the last two seasons in Atlanta, averaging only 7.4 points. Nonetheless, the 35-year-old has an excellent chance of getting back on track for a new team despite his advanced NBA age. While that doesn't mean he'll receive much interest from managers during fantasy drafts, he's certainly someone to watch, especially those in deep category formats looking for scoring and efficient shooting percentages.

Atlanta Hawks guard Lou Williams (back) is out for Game 4 of the playoff series versus Miami. No surprise here, as the 35-year-old hasn't played a game yet this postseason. However, Williams wouldn't have contributed much of anything even if he was available, so it will be business as usual for DFS managers regarding lineup construction on Sunday.

Atlanta Hawks guard Lou Williams (back) is out for Game 2 of the playoff meeting with the Miami Heat. The most recent update concerning his availability shouldn't surprise anyone, primarily since he hasn't played since the April 5th showdown with the Toronto Raptors. Williams, who averaged only 6.3 points per game during the regular season, didn't have a consistent spot in the rotation, so his absence won't impact the fantasy attractiveness of anyone on Hawks' roster.

Atlanta Hawks guard Lou Williams (back) won't be available for Game 1 of the postseason matchup against the Miami Heat. The veteran continues to deal with a sore back, an injury he's been dealing with for a while, so his absence on Sunday shouldn't surprise anyone. Williams averaged only 6.3 points throughout 56 games this season, so even if he were available, his presence wouldn't do much to benefit DFS managers.

Atlanta Hawks guard Lou Williams (back) will be sidelined once again for Friday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. The veteran is currently hampered by lower back discomfort. Williams hasn't had much of a role with the Hawks this season. He appeared in 56 games and logged just over 14 minutes per contest while averaging 6.3 points per game. Delon Wright and Bogdan Bogdanovic (ankle) will be the primary guards off the bench on Friday, assuming Bogdanovic is able to play. If he sits, fellow bench guard Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot should wind up with some extra playing time.

Atlanta Hawks shooting guard Lou Williams (back) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game vs. the Wizards due to lower back discomfort. Williams has played a limited role among the Hawks' second unit this season, averaging just 6.3 points across 14.3 minutes per night. His absence figures to kick a few additional minutes in the direction of Delon Wright, but it's unlikely that Williams being sidelined changes the Hawks' rotation math too drastically. While the three-time Sixth Man of the Year can still go get a bucket when asked, he has yet to score in double figures over his last 12 outings, making him an unviable fantasy commodity for the remainder of the year.

Atlanta Hawks guard Lou Williams (personal) won't be available against the Knicks. Bogdan Bogdanovic (quadriceps) is questionable, so the door may be open for Delon Wright to get some additional work from off the bench. Fantasy managers need to keep an eye on Bogdanovic's status because Wright's outlook will become much brighter if he is out.

Atlanta Hawks shooting guard Lou Williams (hip) has been deemed available for Thursday's game against the Bulls, halting his absence at two games due to hip discomfort. Long viewed as instant offense off the bench, Williams' fantasy viability has slid this season due to his playing time; he has not reached the 20-minute plateau since Dec. 31. Williams' return figures to slightly cut into the offensive upside of Bogdan Bogdanovic and Delon Wright, although the three-time Sixth Man of the Year has been held to single-digit scoring performances in each of his last eight outings.

Atlanta Hawks guard Lou Williams (hip) is listed as probable ahead of Thursday's game against the Chicago Bulls. The longtime veteran has missed each of the team's last two games due to left hip discomfort. It's been a rough injury stretch for the 35-year-old as he missed time early in February with a hamstring injury. If Williams winds up suiting up for Thursday's game, he'll likely cut into Delon Wright's minutes. Williams has had a quiet season overall in his 15th season in the NBA. Over 41 games, he's played 14.6 minutes per game and averaged 6.7 points and 2.0 assists per game while shooting just 39.1% from the field.

Atlanta Hawks guard Lou Williams (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Chicago Bulls. The veteran guard has been dealing with lingering hamstring issues. Honestly, the Hawks might decide to rest Williams out of precaution. He has only been playing minutes in the teens, so it won't be a huge blow to the rotation. Kevin Huerter and Delon Wright would benefit the most, assuming Williams sits out. Huerter is the better fantasy option between the two guards.
