Ziaire Williams notched 23 points (7-of-14 FGs, 6-of-9 FTs), one assist, one steal, one block and three three-pointers in Thursday's loss to the Jazz.With Terance Mann limited to 18 minutes after a two-game absence and the hard fall he took during the second half of Thursday's game, there was more room for Williams to contribute despite coming off the bench. The former lottery pick finished with his second 20-point game of the season and first since October 24. However, while Thursday was good, Williams' season-long fantasy value remains subpar. The only reason to consider adding him ahead of Sunday's game against the Pelicans would be if Mann and Michael Porter Jr. can't play.
Egor Demin, Terance Mann, Ziaire Williams, Noah Clowney and Nic Claxton will start Friday's game against the 76ers.The lone change to the lineup is Williams, who steps in for Michael Porter Jr. While he's scored seven points on 2-of-8 shooting over the last two games, Williams did go on a run of three straight games in double figures before that. He'll have a higher ceiling on Friday, but there should be better streaming options available on an 11-game night.
