Deron Williams

Mavericks' Deron Williams will be a game-time decision on Monday

Dallas Mavericks point guard Deron Williams (toe) will be a game-time call for Monday's matchup with the Denver Nuggets.

What It Means:

Williams has missed the last five games with a toe injury but says he feels close to returning. He will give it a go in warmups on Monday before giving final word if he will play. If he doesn't play, it sounds like he has a good shot of playing on Tuesday or later this week. Yogi Ferrell will return to the bench whenever Williams returns with Seth Curry losing a few touches.

If Williams can give it a go, our projections think he will do well against the Nuggets with 14.3 points, 6.9 assists, and 2.0 three-pointers for 27.1 fantasy points on Monday.
