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.
Mark Williams accounted for 21 points (9-of-12 FGs, 3-of-5 FTs), 17 rebounds, four assists, three steals and one blocked shot in Wednesday's win over the Kings.Back in the starting lineup after missing Monday's win over the Rockets, Williams had his best game since joining the Suns this offseason. The 17 rebounds were a season-high for the 7-footer, who recorded his third 20-point double-double of the season. Due to his injury history, Williams' availability remains a concern. However, the Suns have seemingly pushed all the right buttons so far, and fantasy managers have reaped the rewards.
