Mark Williams Injury Update: Is Williams Playing Tonight vs. Warriors in Play-In?
Williams is officially listed as questionable for Friday’s game against the Warriors, according to the NBA’s injury report.
The Suns center has been hampered by foot soreness throughout the 2025-26 season. In fact, Williams missed 15 games in March due to the injury and returned on April 2. Since returning to the lineup, Williams has put together averages of 11.2 points and 5.8 rebounds in 23.2 minutes per contest.
In 60 games this season, Williams has averaged 11.7 PPG and 8.0 RPG while shooting 64.4% from the field.
With Williams’ status continuing to be monitored, you can make picks on his PrizePicks projections if he does play. Popular Mark Williams picks include 8 points, 16.5 Pts+Rebs+Asts, and a 22.5 fantasy score for Friday night.
What Players to Target on PrizePicks if Williams Is Out?
Williams has been one of the Suns’ more productive interior scorers throughout the 2025-26 season. Despite finishing with single-digit point totals in each of the last two games, the former first-round pick finished in double figures in each of the previous four contests since returning from a foot injury.
In four meetings vs. Golden State this season, the Suns center has been extremely efficient, shooting 62.5% (15-of-24) on field goal attempts. Williams has also finished with double-digit points and rebounds in two of those matchups.
Williams has really proved to be a force on the glass this season. According to NBA Advanced Stats, the former Duke star has secured 47.2% of his contested rebound opportunities this season. In addition, Williams has pulled down at least 8 rebounds in four of his last seven contests.
If Williams isn’t able to take the floor, a duo of Phoenix players could excel in his absence. Suns F Royce O’Neale’s true shooting percentage improves by +5.4% without Williams on the court, according to databallr. Meanwhile, Phoenix F Dillon Brooks sees his usage rate spike by +3.5% when Williams is off the floor.
Here are the Suns players who may benefit most on PrizePicks if Williams is out, as well as their stat projections for Friday.
- Royce O’Neale vs. Warriors Projections: 6.5 Points / 13 Pts+Rebs+Asts / 1.5 3-pointers Made (Goblin)
- Dillon Brooks vs. Warriors Projections: 17.5 Points / 21.5 Pts+Rebs / 2 3-pointers Made
If Williams can’t play, O’Neale could be the player worth paying attention to leading up to Friday’s game.
