Patrick Williams Fantasy Stats

Chicago Bulls forward Patrick Williams (ankle) is available ahead of Thursday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Williams is back in the rotation after missing each of the last two games due to a right ankle sprain. Given it was only a two-game absence, Williams shouldn't be under a minutes limit. His return to the rotation should mean less playing time for Kevin Huerter, Isaac Okoro, and Jalen Smith. When healthy, Williams has been an inconsistent fantasy option and isn't someone who is viewed as a must-start right now.

Bulls forward Patrick Williams (ankle) was listed as questionable for Tuesday night's home game against the visiting Clippers. He missed Sunday's game against the Nets after leaving Friday's game in Brooklyn with a sprained ankle. Williams has not been contributing very much this season, scoring just 6.5 points in 18 minutes per game, but if he's out again on Tuesday, there will be more time for Jalen Smith, who has been excellent lately, producing three straight double-doubles and averaging 11.2 points and 9.5 rebounds in 24.8 minutes per game. Smith started the Bulls game on Sunday and is a player on the rise right now for Chicago. Even if Williams is healthy enough to return, Smith should continue to play ahead of him, given how productive each has been this season.

Chicago Bulls forward Patrick Williams (ankle) won't play on Sunday against Brooklyn. Williams logged 12 minutes when these clubs met on Friday night before he tweaked his right ankle and was eventually ruled out. It's unknown how long the injury will keep him out of commission. However, the 24-year-old has averaged a career-low 6.5 points this season, so his absence won't impact many fantasy managers outside of opening up more minutes for Jalen Smith, who is coming off a 14-point, 13-rebound, four-block effort.

Chicago Bulls forward Patrick Williams (ankle) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. Williams was only able to play 12 minutes on Friday before exiting due to a sprained right ankle. Another absence would likely mean an extended look for Dalen Terry and Jalen Smith in the rotation. When healthy, Williams hasn't been much of an asset, averaging 6.5 points, 1.2 assists, and 2.9 rebounds in 18.5 minutes per game. He's too inconsistent at the moment to be trusted in most fantasy formats. Smith is the preferred streaming option with back-to-back double-doubles. He'll once again be a strong streaming choice if Williams is unable to play.

Chicago Bulls forward Patrick Williams (ankle) will not return to Friday's game against Brooklyn after spraining his right ankle late in the third quarter, leaving his status for Sunday's rematch uncertain. Williams logged seven points, three rebounds, and one assist in 12 minutes off the bench. Chicago should continue to lean heavily on Matas Buzelis, who is locked into a starter's workload and is averaging 15.2 points, 4.6 rebounds, 2.0 three-pointers, and 2.0 blocks in 29.1 minutes. If Williams sits, the Bulls would lean even more on that frontcourt, with Jalen Smith continuing to see steady run after posting 11.2 points, 9.2 rebounds, 1.4 three-pointers, and 1.8 blocks in 24.0 minutes, keeping him viable in deeper formats.

Chicago Bulls forward Patrick Williams (wrist) and guard/forward Dalen Terry (calf) will be active against the Indiana Pacers on Friday. Both players were initially listed as probable for the game. Having the two available is great news for an injury-hit Bulls squad. However, fantasy managers should not expect Williams and Terry to make much noise. Williams has been limited to 7.3 points and 3.2 rebounds in 20.7 minutes this season. Meanwhile, Terry has averaged fewer than 10 minutes per game, posting 2.6 points and 1.6 rebounds.

Chicago Bulls forward Patrick Williams (wrist) is available Monday against the Pelicans after missing the previous game, giving Chicago another option amid several frontcourt absences. Williams has averaged 7.0 points, 2.6 rebounds and 1.0 steal over his last five outings while shooting 46.0 percent from the field. He could see a slight bump in minutes with Nikola Vucevic (knee) and Zach Collins (wrist) sidelined. His fantasy appeal remains deeper-league only, but managers needing defensive extras or low-end threes can treat him as a short-term streamer.

Chicago Bulls forward Patrick Williams (finger) is listed as available for the Monday night matchup against the San Antonio Spurs. The sprained left finger led to a probable tag, but Williams was always expected to play in this game. Averages of 8.6 points, 3.0 rebounds, and 1.8 assists per game have made him a limited fantasy option off the bench. However, Josh Giddey's (ankle) absence due to an ankle injury will see Chicago needing everyone to step up with more points, rebounds, and assists available for all rotation players. Williams should have his highest upside on Monday and more minutes if the injury is not severe enough to limit his play. The bench play of the 24-year-old has led to the Bulls trusting him more, and Monday may be his most important game yet this season.

Chicago Bulls forward Patrick Williams (left finger sprain) is listed as probable for Monday's matchup against the San Antonio Spurs. The 24-year-old hasn't missed a game this season but continues to struggle with consistency, making him difficult to trust in most fantasy formats. Williams is averaging 8.6 points, 3.0 rebounds, 1.8 assists, and under one steal per game while shooting 45 percent from the field and 46 percent from deep. Despite decent efficiency, his low usage and lack of steady production limit his fantasy impact. He's best left for managers in very deep leagues looking for occasional threes and defensive stats from the end of their bench.

Chicago Bulls forward Patrick Williams (ankle) left Wednesday's practice early, Will Gottlieb of CHGO Sports reports. Williams tweaked his left ankle during the session. After practice, he was seen riding a stationary bike. Initial signs suggest he avoided a bad injury. "I don't think it's too serious," Bulls head coach Billy Donovan said about Williams' issue. Injuries have limited Williams to just 106 games over the past two campaigns. He had a tough year last season, shooting under 40 percent from the field and averaging 9.0 points with 3.8 rebounds per game. The 24-year-old still has time to improve, but he needs to stay healthy to elevate his game and become a more attractive option in fantasy basketball.
