Williams chipped in 19 points (8-16 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four rebounds, five assists, two blocks and one steal over 33 minutes during Friday's 126-101 win over the Knicks.
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Isaiah Joe carried the way for the Thunder in this comfortable 25-point win over the Knicks, but Williams made his presence felt by stuffing the stat sheet and displaying an efficient shooting touch. This was the fourth time over his last five outings in which Williams has recorded at least one tally in each of the five major categories, and he has scored at least 18 points four times in that span.

Thunder's Jalen Williams: Another all-around effort Friday
Rotowire
Williams registered 20 points (8-17 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 3-5 FT), four rebounds, five assists, one block and two steals in 38 minutes during Friday's 117-107 win over the Knicks.
This was the fourth straight game in which Williams recorded at least two tallies in four of the five major categories, and he continues to thrive as the Thunder's second-best offensive weapon behind Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. His all-around ability boosts his fantasy upside, and the numbers back him up as an above-average scorer as well. He's averaging 18.7 points, 5.0 rebounds, 5.5 assists, 1.2 steals and 0.4 blocks per game over his last 10 contests.

Thunder's Jalen Williams: Solid all-around output in win
Rotowire
Williams finished Thursday's 116-98 victory over the Clippers with 18 points (8-14 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, four assists, one block and two steals across 30 minutes.
Williams made a solid two-way impact in Thursday's easy win, filling up the box score for the Thunder and hitting double digits in scoring for the 33rd consecutive game to open the season. Over his last seven games, the former first-rounder is averaging 19.4 points, 5.7 rebounds, 5.4 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.3 three-pointers in 32.4 minutes. Williams is shooting just 26.5 percent from downtown across that span, but the 23-year-old's disruptive defense should continue to translate to plenty of defensive stoppers for fantasy managers as he works his way out of this shooting slump.

Thunder's Jalen Williams: Stuffs stat sheet again
Rotowire
Williams closed Tuesday's 113-105 victory over the Timberwolves with 14 points (6-12 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 1-4 FT), seven rebounds, seven assists and three steals across 38 minutes.
There's no question that Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is the driving force on offense for the Thunder, but Jalen Williams' contributions can't go overlooked. The forward, who could have a strong case to make the All-Star Game this season, has been racking up stats left and right in recent weeks. Over his last 10 games, he's averaging 19.4 points, 5.6 rebounds, 5.5 assists and 1.2 steals per tilt.

Thunder's Jalen Williams: Comes close to triple-double
Rotowire
Williams racked up 14 points (7-16 FG, 0-5 3Pt), 10 rebounds, eight assists, one block and two steals across 26 minutes during Sunday's 130-106 victory over the Grizzlies.
Even though Shai Gilgeous-Alexander stole the show with his impressive 35-point performance, Williams made his presence felt as well and ended just two assists away from a double-double. Firmly entrenched as the Thunder's second-best option on offense, Williams does more than just put up points on the board, and his versatility is a huge plus for fantasy managers as well. He's averaging 20.8 points, 5.3 rebounds, 5.2 assists and 1.1 steals per game since the beginning of December.

Thunder's Jalen Williams: Reaches 20-point mark in rout
Rotowire
Williams ended Saturday's 106-94 win over the Hornets with 20 points (8-21 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 3-3 FT), three rebounds, six assists and one steal across 34 minutes.
Williams posted his 20th game of the season with at least 20 points Saturday, also dishing out a team-high-tying six assists to help offset a subpar shooting night in the blowout win. Through 12 games this month, Williams is averaging 21.2 points, 4.8 rebounds, 4.8 assists, 1.1 steals, 0.5 blocks and 1.7 three-pointers since the calendar turned to December. The 23-year-old former first-rounder has settled in as Oklahoma City's definitive No. 2 option on offense during his third season alongside superstar Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, and the versatile Williams' unique position eligibility alongside strong contributions in each area should help him continue to return early-round fantasy value moving ahead.

Thunder's Jalen Williams: Balanced performance despite loss
Rotowire
Williams registered 18 points (8-20 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, three assists, three blocks and two steals across 34 minutes during Tuesday's 97-81 loss to the Bucks.
Williams cobbled together another strong two-way performance, albeit in a losing effort. The Bucks were far too good for the Thunder, a disappointing end to what had been a fantastic In-Season Tournament for the team from Oklahoma City. Despite the loss, the Thunder remain arguably the team to beat in the West, and Williams should continue to serve as a key piece on both ends of the floor.

Thunder's Jalen Williams: Not listed on injury report
Rotowire
Williams (eye) is not listed on the injury report and will be available for Friday's game against the Lakers.
Williams didn't play in the second half of Wednesday's win over the Warriors due to an apparent eye injury. However, his absence from the injury report suggests the star forward shouldn't have any limitations playing Friday. Williams is averaging 21.6 points, 6.4 rebounds and 5.3 assists per game this season.

Thunder's Jalen Williams: Heads to locker room
Rotowire
Williams left Wednesday's game against the Warriors in the final minutes of the second quarter due to an apparent eye injury, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports.
Williams wasn't on the court when the third quarter started, and it's uncertain if he'll return to the contest. Cason Wallace played in his place, and he could see an uptick in his usage rate if Williams doesn't return. Losing Williams, the second-best scorer on the Thunder's roster, would be a massive blow for OKC.

Thunder's Jalen Williams: Fills stat sheet Monday
Rotowire
Williams chipped in 28 points (10-16 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 5-5 FT), four rebounds, five assists, one block and two steals over 32 minutes during Monday's 130-109 win over the Kings.
Williams was very efficient in this win Monday and was able to chip in with at least two tallies in four of the five major categories. The move to power forward should ease things up for Williams on the defensive end, but he's versatile enough to continue producing on both ends of the court regardless of the position he plays. Williams has scored at least 20 points in seven of his last eight games while averaging 25.6 points, 6.4 rebounds and 5.5 assists per game in that span.

Thunder's Jalen Williams: Drops 27 on Dallas
Rotowire
Williams racked up 27 points (11-17 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal in 35 minutes during Sunday's 121-119 loss to the Mavericks.
The third-year forward continues to make an impact at the offensive end of the court. Williams has scored 20 or more points in seven of 10 games so far in November, averaging 22.3 points, 6.1 boards, 4.5 assists, 2.3 threes, 2.2 steals and 1.1 blocks on the month while shooting 55.7 percent from the floor and 46.9 percent (23-for-49) from long distance. With Chet Holmgren (hip) and Isaiah Hartenstein (hand) both currently sidelined, Williams has been pressed into duty as an undersized center, but he's been rising to the challenge on defense -- nine of his 14 blocks on the season have come in five contests since Holmgren was injured.

Thunder's Jalen Williams: Shines at center once again
Rotowire
Williams racked up 31 points (10-18 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 7-7 FT), six rebounds, seven assists, two blocks and four steals in 31 minutes during Wednesday's 106-88 victory over New Orleans.
Williams was impressive playing at center for the second consecutive game, and while it's been only two outings, the experiment of a frontcourt with two 6-foot-5 players has been going well for the Thunder. Williams has been extremely productive in recent weeks, averaging 22.8 points, 6.0 rebounds, 4.8 assists, 2.4 steals and 1.0 blocks per game since the beginning of November.

Thunder's Jalen Williams: Puts up 20 points Sunday

Williams produced 20 points (9-15 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, four assists, four blocks and one steal in 31 minutes during Sunday's 127-116 loss to Golden State.
Williams was one of two Oklahoma City players who scored at least 20 points in this loss, with Shai Gilgeous-Alexander being the other one. Expect Williams to embrace an even bigger role on offense in the coming weeks since Chet Holmgren (hip) is set to miss a couple of months.

Thunder's Jalen Williams: Best game of season Wednesday
Rotowire
Williams finished Wednesday's 124-122 loss to the Nuggets with 29 points (11-20 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 3-5 FT), 10 rebounds, nine assists and three steals in 36 minutes.
The Thunder came up short in a back-and-forth contest against the Nuggets, but Williams did everything he could to avoid that outcome. He posted season-high marks in points, rebounds and assists while also notching multiple steals for the sixth contest in a row. Williams has scored at least 20 points in three of his previous four appearances and is averaging a robust 22.3 points, 6.5 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 3.0 steals per game since the beginning of November.

Thunder's Jalen Williams: Hits for 22 in big win
Rotowire
Williams notched 22 points (8-12 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, four assists and four steals across 26 minutes during Friday's 137-114 victory over the Trail Blazers.
The third-year forward dropped at least 20 points for the third time in five games to begin the season, but Friday was the first time he shot at least 50 percent from the field. Williams is coming off a breakout campaign, but he might find another level in 2024-25 -- while he waits for his offense to catch up, he's averaging what would be career highs with 6.6 boards. 5.6 assists and 2.0 steals a contest.

Thunder's Jalen Williams: All around performance in win
Rotowire
Williams put up 12 points (5-13 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), eight assists, seven rebounds, four steals and a block in Wednesday's 105-93 win over the Spurs.
While Williams was not particularly efficient from the field Wednesday night, he found other ways to contribute by stuffing the stat sheet, tying his season high in assists (eight) and setting his season high in steals (four). As one of the Thunder's top players, Williams will likely be able to increase his offensive production as the season progresses, but it is worth noting that his value comes from more than just his ability to score. He has averages of 7.0 rebounds, 6.0 assists, 1.5 steals and 0.8 blocks to start the season.
Williams notched 20 points (8-17 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 4-8 FT), nine rebounds, five assists and two steals in 33 minutes during Sunday's 128-104 victory over the Hawks.
Williams didn't post the same elite numbers that Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Chet Holmgren delivered in this 24-point blowout win, but he reached the 20-point plateau and ended just one rebound shy of a double-double. Williams is firmly entrenched as one of the Thunder's top three scoring options with the aforementioned duo. He's scored at least 20 points while grabbing nine boards in his last two appearances, so he remains an absolute stud in fantasy as well.
Williams (ankle) had his 2025-26 team option exercised by Oklahoma City on Wednesday.
Williams will be due for an extension after the 2025-26 season, but two full campaigns on his current rookie-scale contract are forthcoming. The standout forward remains questionable for Thursday's regular-season opener versus Denver due to a left ankle sprain, but he has been practicing and is considered day-to-day.

Thunder's Jalen Williams: Ramping up in practice Sunday
Rotowire
Coach Mark Daigneault said Sunday that Williams (ankle) "did more today than he did yesterday," but he should still be considered day-to-day ahead of Thursday's regular-season opener against the Nuggets, Rylan Stiles of FanSided.com reports.
Williams sustained a left ankle sprain during Thursday's preseason finale against the Hawks. The 23-year-old avoided a serious injury and is not expected to miss significant time, though his status for the Thunder's Opening Night matchup against the Nuggets is uncertain as the club continues to work him back to form slowly.
