What It Means:

Williams was considered probable on Monday before playing 18 minutes and scoring 11 points with 6 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal, and 1 3-pointer. He averages 29.2 minutes per game for the season, but despite Monday's abbreviated playing time, it looks like the Bulls expect to have Williams available again for the second leg of the back-to-back. DeMar DeRozan (hip) and Alex Caruso (foot) are both questionable, so Williams could see an uptick in playing time on Tuesday in Memphis. Derrick Jones Jr. stands to benefit if Williams is limited again.

numberFire's models project Williams for 32.3 minutes and 24.0 FanDuel points on Tuesday, and he has a $5,100 salary on the Main slate. Per our NBA Heat Map, the Bulls’ implied total (113.5) is No. 8 out of 12 active teams today.
