Mark Williams (foot) won't play against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Due to left foot injury management, Williams will be out of action for the second leg of a back-to-back set. The big man finished with 19 points, 14 rebounds, four assists, and three blocks across 31 minutes in a 115-98 victory over the Knicks on Wednesday. His next chance to suit up is Sunday against the Heat.
Jusuf Nurkic and
Moussa Diabate should fill the void at the center with Williams on the shelf.

Mark Williams (left foot, injury management) won't play on Saturday against Brooklyn. He wasn't available for Friday's one-point loss to the Cavaliers, resulting in
Jusuf Nurkic (neck) getting the start and finishing with 12 points, 15 rebounds, five assists, one steal, and one block. But with Nurkic doubtful,
Moussa Diabate, averaging 6.4 points and 10.3 rebounds in seven starts this season, would presumably take over in the middle. But even if
Taj Gibson earns the start, Diabate should eclipse him from a workload standpoint.

Mark Williams (foot) will miss the front half of a back-to-back on Friday due to injury management on his foot. Williams hasn't played both games of a back-to-back all season, so sitting out against the Cleveland Cavaliers means he should be back in the lineup against the Brooklyn Nets on Saturday.
Jusuf Nurkic (back) is considered probable, so he'd be the best streaming option for fantasy managers looking for big man stats. Otherwise,
Moussa Diabate could see some minutes off of the bench for those in deeper leagues. He posted six points, four rebounds, one assist, and one block across 12 minutes in their last game.

Mark Williams (foot) has been ruled out of Monday's game against the Sacramento Kings with injury management on his left foot. This is partially expected since Williams hasn't played both halves of a back-to-back and the Hornets have a game against the Golden State Warriors on Tuesday.
Jusuf Nurkic should see a significant bump in minutes for this contest. In four games with his new team, Nurkic averages 7.3 points, 8.5 rebounds, 5.0 assists, 1.0 steals, and 1.3 blocks per game. He'll likely be a popular streamer in regular fantasy leagues as well as an option in DFS lineups.
