Jalen Williams Out Again With Strained Hip
6 months agoOklahoma City Thunder guard/forward Jalen Williams (hip) will not play in Wednesday's game versus the Chicago Bulls. A left hip strain will keep Williams in the seats for another game, after he missed Sunday's 134-91 road rout of the Portland Trail Blazers with the injury. The balanced 22-year-old is averaging 17.5 points, 3.6 dimes, and 1.1 treys this season. Fantasy managers hope the defensive prowess Williams showed during his rookie campaign comes to light again at some point, with his 1.0 combined steals and blocks this year down from his robust 1.9 figure in this area from a season ago. First-round rookie Cason Wallace entered head coach Mark Daigneault's starting five with just two points in 20 minutes during Williams' absence on Sunday, but the smoking-hot Isaiah Joe, who's shooting a stratospheric 77.3% on 4.4 average three-point attempts through his last five nights, is worth streaming for points and threes on Wednesday.
