Patrick Williams DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

Chicago Bulls forward Patrick Williams (quad) is available to play ahead of Thursday's game against the Sacramento Kings. As expected, Williams has been cleared to play after being listed as probable on the injury report. Williams hasn't seen too significant of a role since returning from his nine-game absence. He played 17 minutes on Wednesday and finished with five points and two rebounds. The 23-year-old doesn't appear to be offering much fantasy value down the stretch of the season.

Chicago Bulls forward Patrick Williams (quad) is listed as doubtful ahead of Saturday's game against the Miami Heat. Williams has missed the last eight games and it doesn't appear that he is quite ready to get back on the floor yet. His continued absence should mean that Julian Phillips and Matas Buzelis should continue seeing more minutes in the rotation. Phillips isn't much of a fantasy option right now, but Buzelis has played well during each of his last three games. The rookie forward is well worth a look as a streaming option while the Bulls are shorthanded.

Chicago Bulls forward Patrick Williams (knee) has picked up a questionable tag ahead of Thursday's game against the Orlando Magic. He seems to be nearing his return to action after missing seven games. On Feb. 20, the team announced that he would be re-evaluated in two weeks after Williams received a platelet-rich plasma injection to treat tendinosis in his right knee. Bulls head coach Billy Donovan mentioned on Sunday that Williams could be available for this week's two-game road trip in Florida. Chicago is also scheduled to face the Miami Heat on Saturday. Williams could eat into the minutes of Matas Buzelis, who has been starting during his absence.
