Grant Williams DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

Charlotte Hornets forward Grant Williams (knee) received some bad news following his exit from Saturday's contest. Williams is reportedly expected to miss the rest of the season after suffering a torn ACL. This is a tough break for the Hornets as Williams was playing big minutes for them. He's averaging 10.4 points, 5.1 rebounds, and 2.3 assists in 29 minutes per game this season. The Hornets are already banged up with Nick Richards (ribs) and Mark Williams (foot) sidelined right now. In the short term, Moussa Diabate figures to see more minutes in the rotation. Once healthy, Richards should have a significant role and is looking like a great stash where he's available.

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.
