Sun May 15 202219:53Grant Williams Scores Game-High 27 Points On Sunday
Boston Celtics forward Grant Williams finished with 27 points during the crucial Game 7 win over Milwaukee. The 23-year-old got the start once again for Robert Williams (knee), who didn't play despite being available. Surprisingly, Williams led both teams in scoring, thanks mainly to his mighty 7-for-18 shooting effort from deep. It's unknown how much longer Robert Williams will remain sidelined because of the knee ailment, so there's a good chance Grant Williams can continue to get minutes during the Eastern Conference Finals against the Miami Heat. He isn't a consistent DFS producer, but as evident by his effective showing on Sunday afternoon, he can get it going from time to time.

Sun May 15 202214:58Grant Williams Starting For Game 7
Boston Celtics forward Grant Williams will remain in the starting lineup for Sunday's postseason battle against Milwaukee. Robert Williams III (knee) will return after a three-game absence because of knee soreness. However, it's unknown how much work Robert Williams will receive, although there's a chance his presence could still significantly lower Grant Williams' DFS ceiling.

Mon May 9 202218:40Robert Williams III Will Miss Game 4, Grant Williams Draws Start
Boston Celtics center Robert Williams III (knee) has been ruled out for Monday's contest vs. the Bucks, paving the way for Grant Williams to slide into the starting five. Williams III averaged just 23.7 minutes across the first three outings of the series, but he played an integral part in Boston's interior defense, averaging 2.7 blocks per contest. Williams averaged 10.6 points and 4.6 boards when elevated to the starting lineup during the regular season, having enjoyed a consistent role off the bench thus far against Milwaukee. Daniel Theis can also be expected to see an uptick in minutes with the Celtics thin in the frontcourt. Williams III's next chance to suit up comes Wednesday in Game 5.

Mon Mar 21 202219:47Derrick White, Grant Williams To Start Against Thunder
Boston Celtics guard Derrick White and forward Grant Williams will move into the starting five for Monday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Both Marcus Smart (illness) and Robert Williams III (knee) are unavailable for this contest. White has been in a bad slump lately, but does have plenty of upside in the starting five. Williams has been hit-or-miss, so he's a bit more of a risky fantasy option. Both have possible DFS value for this favorable matchup.

Fri Mar 11 202219:18Grant Williams Receives Green Light To Suit Up Friday
Boston Celtics small/power forward Grant Williams (illness) has been cleared to play in Friday's game against the Pistons. Williams has emerged as a significant contributor for Boston over the past month, having averaged 10.4 PPG while shooting 45.5 behind the arc over his last nine outings. He presents a tricky DFS asset due to his all-around contributing nature, which very rarely sees him as an offensive focal point. Having logged nearly 30 minutes on a nightly basis over the past calendar month, Williams has some DFS punt play appeal, especially due to his matchup against a Detroit squad that boasts the second-lowest rebounding rate in the league.

Fri Mar 11 202215:02Grant Williams Questionable For Friday
Boston Celtics forward Grant Williams (illness) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Detroit Pistons. He is reportedly dealing with a non-COVID related illness, which could sideline him for this game. Normally, Williams only makes an impact when the Celtics are thin at forward or center. Robert Williams III and Al Horford should see more minutes, assuming Williams sits this one out. Both players could have some DFS appeal with extra playing time.

Mon Dec 27 202118:59Grant Williams Returns To Action For Monday’s Contest
Boston Celtics power forward Grant Williams has rejoined the active roster for Monday's game against Minnesota. Williams missed the past five contests due to the league's health and safety protocols; despite that, he will not face a minutes cap of any kind. His return comes at a crucial time for Boston, who is down Marcus Smart (hand), Jayson Tatum, Dennis Schroder, and Josh Richardson (health and safety protocols) for at least one game, paving the way for elevated offensive roles for all healthy Celtics. Williams' last game before entering protocols saw him tie his career high with five made triples, showcasing the DFS upside that he possesses when there are absences ahead of him on the depth chart.

Sat Dec 18 202115:06Grant Williams Remains In Health And Safety Protocols
Boston Celtics forward Grant Williams won't play against the Knicks on Saturday. Williams, along with teammates Al Horford and Jabari Parker, isn't available as the trio remains in health and safety protocols. As a result, Robert Williams III, who had 11 rebounds, seven points, and a block against the Warriors on Friday night, should continue to receive more minutes than usual. Enes Freedom may also benefit, although he remains a risky option in all formats despite an increased chance of production caused by the abundance of absences.

Wed Nov 17 202119:20Grant Williams Returns To Starting Five Wednesday
Boston Celtics power forward Grant Williams has been elevated back into the starting lineup for Wednesday's contest against Atlanta after a one-game stint coming off the bench. Head coach Ime Udoka has tinkered with the team's rotation with Jaylen Brown (leg), and now Robert Williams III (knee), unavailable. Irrespective of his duties, Williams enters Wednesday having scored 11 points and hit three triples in back-to-back outings. His fluctuating playing time and 4.4 field-goal attempts per game average make the 22-year-old a risky season-long asset, though he has DFS punt play appeal in all formats.

Mon Nov 1 202113:10Celtics Pick Up Grant Williams' Fourth-Year Option
Boston Celtics forward Grant Williams will have his fourth-year option picked up by the organization. That means, the young forward will be tied to the team for the rest of this season and next year. Williams has been impressive during his two starts while Al Horford sat out. That being said, his fantasy value is limited right now because Horford does start a majority of the time. Despite that, the organization sees enough in Williams to go ahead and pick up his option.

Wed Oct 20 202118:20Grant Williams Will Start In Season Opener
Boston Celtics power forward Grant Williams will slot into the starting five for Wednesday's season opener vs. the Knicks. Williams draws the start due to the absence of Al Horford (health protocols), although he has traditionally remained an offensive afterthought even when shifted off the bench. In 14 career starts, Williams has averaged just 5.5 points per game, with Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown having a higher probability of seeing an uptick in offensive usage. Still, for those in search of a low-end DFS option at the 11th hour, Williams presents a solid choice; in the long-term, his hold on a starting spot remains tenuous.
