Mark Williams recorded a double-double on Friday with 13 points (5-of-9 FGs) and 14 rebounds in 22 minutes against the Thunder.For matchup purposes, Suns coach Jordan Ott ended up playing Oso Ighodaro for 22 minutes off the bench, which left 22 minutes for Williams and four for Nick Richards. Despite the lack of opportunity, Williams was able to dominate the glass, which can at least partially be attributed to the absence of Isaiah Hartenstein. This was a third straight double-double for Williams, who has still surpassed 30 minutes just one time this season.

Gillespie, who has been an excellent fantasy asset recently, replaces Goodwin in the starting lineup. The change does raise the point guard's ceiling, while Goodwin should still get good minutes off the bench. The other change is Williams, who's back after sitting out Monday's loss to the Rockets. Nick Richards will rejoin the second unit.
