Mark Williams DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

Charlotte Hornets center Mark Williams (foot) won't play on Wednesday against the Raptors. He logged 31 minutes in Tuesday's loss to the Grizzlies. But, as has been the case, Williams will sit this one out to rest his ailing left foot. Without Williams in the mix, Jusuf Nurkic, who had eight points, eight rebounds, and one block in his last start, should handle things in the middle. Nurkic should also see a bump in production, considering Miles Bridges (hip) is also ruled out.

Charlotte Hornets center Mark Williams (back) has been tagged as probable for Friday's matchup with the Sacramento Kings. Across his last 11 games played, Williams has registered double-doubles in nine of them while averaging 15.2 points, 11.2 rebounds, 3.2 assists, and 1.4 blocks per game. Since LaMelo Ball (ankle) and Brandon Miller (wrist) both won't return this season, the Hornets have needed offensive firepower from the rest of the lineup. Williams has provided a much-needed inside presence on both ends of the court and is a great play in every fantasy format as long as he's healthy.

Charlotte Hornets center Mark Williams (foot) won't play on Sunday versus New Orleans. The Hornets aren't going to the playoffs, so it's unknown how much more fantasy managers will have him in their lineups. Williams next opportunity to get on the floor will be on Monday against the visiting Jazz. But as far as Sunday's contest is concerned, Jusuf Nurkic, amassing six points, nine boards, five assists, one steal, and one block in his last start on March 21, will likely roll with the first five. Moussa Diabate should also see extra work from off the bench, giving him streaming potential for category participants in need of a reliable rebounder.
