Oklahoma City Thunder guard/forward Jalen Williams was limited to 5-for-19 shooting with zero makes from downtown against Dallas on Monday, but he still played a large part in a 100-96 win. Despite the poor shooting, Williams posted 14 points with nine rebounds, six assists, and a game-high four steals. Williams' efficiency from the field in the series has now dropped below 40 percent, but he has been one of the standout names against the Mavericks, averaging 17.0 points, 6.0 rebounds, 5.8 assists, and 1.3 steals.
Oklahoma City Thunder guard/forward Jalen Williams had a fantastic all-around performance on Monday against New Orleans as the team completed a first-round sweep with a 97-89 road victory. Williams tied Shai Gilgeous-Alexander for most points in the contest with 24, grabbed eight rebounds, and tallied four assists, two steals, and one block. The 23-year-old Santa Clara product has been hugely impressive in his first postseason campaign. He's averaging a team-high 1.8 steals and also sits among the Thunder leaders with 21.3 points, 7.3 rebounds, and 5.0 assists.
Oklahoma City Thunder guard/forward Jalen Williams was effective all over the court in Wednesday's Game 2 victory over the Pelicans, scoring 21 points and registering five rebounds and one steal with a game-high seven assists. He was 1-for-3 with the three-ball and shot 10-for-17 from the field. Williams played a significant role as the Thunder had a historic outing -- for the first time ever in the NBA playoffs, a team had all of its points scored by players aged 25 or younger. It's been a strong start for Williams in the series, as he is averaging 20.0 points with 6.0 rebounds, 5.5 assists and 1.5 steals.
Oklahoma City Thunder forward Jalen Williams (ankle) was spotted at shootaround ahead of Tuesday's matchup with the Sacramento Kings. Sidelined for four consecutive games with a sprained left ankle, Williams is on the right track to return against the Kings on Tuesday. It's worth mentioning Williams was seen at the morning session prior to last Tuesday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers before getting ruled out, so sometimes shootaround statuses should be taken with a grain of salt. The 22-year-old two-way rising star is averaging 22.0 points, 5.3 assists, 3.3 rebounds, 1.1 three-pointers, and 2.6 combined steals plus blocks through his last seven games and would be an interesting DFS bet on Tuesday's huge 14-game slate if he is active against Sacramento, who are yielding the ninth-most points (22.0) to opposing small forwards in 2023-24.
Oklahoma City Thunder guard/forward Jalen Williams (ankle) has been listed as questionable on the injury report ahead of Tuesday's matchup against Sacramento. He's missed the past four games with a left ankle sprain. Thunder head coach Mark Daigneault has tested several players in a starting role during Williams' absence, including Gordon Hayward (leg). He won't be able to go back to Hayward on Tuesday as he has been ruled out for the contest. Aaron Wiggins and Isaiah Joe will continue to have extra fantasy value if Williams can't play. If he is able to return, the 22-year-old will find himself in a good matchup against a team that likes to run but can't defend.
