Williams

Williams is out Thursday against the Jazz for left knee injury management reasons. Yang Hansen could see more minutes as the backup center with Williams sidelined.

Time Lord could miss time on Thursday due to left knee injury management. If Williams III is ultimately ruled out, Yang Hansen could log additional playing time as Donovan Clingan’s backup.

Williams was initially listed as questionable after missing Saturday’s game against Memphis, but he will be good to go against the 76ers. Despite playing a limited role, Williams has been a fantasy beast in recent weeks and will look to keep that going in this game, meaning Yang Hansen will barely be in the rotation, if he sees the floor at all.

Williams did not play in Saturday’s win over the Grizzlies, as it was Portland’s second game in as many nights. If he’s unable to play against the 76ers, the Trail Blazers would turn to Yang Hansen to serve as the backup center. Williams’ absence would likely mean more minutes for starting center Donovan Clingan as well.

Williams played 19 minutes in Friday’s win over the Grizzlies. His absence for Saturday’s rematch means more opportunities for Yang Hansen, but not enough to make the rookie worth streaming in redraft leagues since Donovan Clingan is available.

Williams is good to go after initially being questionable for Sunday’s game. He’ll take on his usual role as the backup center, where he can offer value in deeper fantasy leagues. Yang Hansen misses out on a boost to his playing time.

Sunday’s game is not part of a back-to-back, but the Time Lord is on the injury report due to left knee injury management. If Williams cannot play, Yang Hansen would slide into the backup role. The rookie would not be worth the risk in redraft leagues, but he should be rostered in dynasty formats.

Williams missed Tuesday’s game against the Wizards as he continues to manage a knee injury. The 28-year-old backup center will be back on the court Friday against the Knicks. He improves the Trail Blazers’ depth, especially with Duop Reath (foot) done for the year, but isn’t worth rostering in most fantasy leagues.

Williams missed Portland’s last game, which was part of a back-to-back. There is a chance he is sidelined against New York, and with Duop Reath (foot) ruled out for the remainder of the year, Yang Hansen would be in line for the backup center minutes. With Williams out on Tuesday, Hansen only played 12 minutes.

Williams played on Monday, so it isn’t surprising that he’ll sit out the second leg of this back-to-back. With Duop Reath (foot) out as well, Yang Hansen should fill out the backup center minutes behind Donovan Clingan.
