Mark Williams has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder.

Fantasy Impact

Williams played 31 minutes on Thursday, and the Charlotte Hornets have elected to rest him for the second game of a back-to-back. Jusuf Nurkic is expected to draw the start and becomes an enticing value play in DFS or a potential waiver wire pickup.

Mark Williams put up 19 points (8-14 FG, 3-3 FT) to go with 14 rebounds and three blocks in Thursday's 115-98 win over the New York Knicks.

Fantasy Impact

Williams played a big part in Charlotte's upset win over the Knicks on Thursday. He scored 19 points on good efficiency and was able to pair that with a team-high 14 rebounds to complete the double-double, all while playing well on defense with three recorded blocks. This was a great bounce-back game for him after an underwhelming performance on Tuesday.

Mark Williams scored 18 points (9-15 FG) to go along with 15 rebounds, seven assists, one steal and one block in the Hornets 123-88 loss against the Clippers.

Fantasy Impact

Williams filled the stat sheet, doing a bit of everything on both ends of the floor. He did it all in just 25 minutes in the blowout loss. His minutes will be worth monitoring in the coming games.

Mark Williams ended up with 14 points and 14 rebounds in Wednesday's 123-110 road loss against the Atlanta Hawks.

Fantasy Impact

Williams did a good job hitting six of his nine field-goal attempts, and he chipped in with a pair of assists, two blocked shots and a steal. However, he also had a team-worst minus-12 rating. Williams has recorded back-to-back double-doubles, averaging 19.0 PPG, 12.0 RPG and 2.0 BPG, and he has six double-doubles across the past seven outings. Next up is a trip to San Antonio on Friday night.

Mark Williams was an efficient 9-of-13 from the field in Monday's 105-102 win in Miami, ending up with 24 points and 10 rebounds.

Fantasy Impact

Williams was good for two assists, two steals and two blocked shots in 29 minutes, and he did not have any miscues. The 7-foot pivot is averaging 18.0- PPG and 10.8 RPG with 1.8 BPG in four games in March, while hitting an impressive 71.4% from the field. He'll look to keep up the good work in what should be a high-scoring game in Atlanta on Wednesday.
