Six games into his sophomore season, Mark Williams is now Charlotte's featured starting center and has all the opportunity for a breakout season. He is fresh off back-to-back games scoring 19 or more points versus the Pacers and Mavericks.
Although the sample size is small, Williams has benefited from playing alongside LaMelo Ball despite limited time on the court together due to injuries. Williams averages 15.4 points per game and has scored at least 13 points in seven of the nine games when he played for at least 25 minutes.
Tonight's game between the Hornets and Wizards is an all-you-can-eat buffet for Williams. He will face Daniel Gafford, who just allowed Joel Embiid to score 48 points without playing in the fourth quarter the other night. Williams takes 98% of his shots under 10 feet, where the Wizards allow the fourth-most points in the paint in the NBA.
Additionally, the Wizards play at the fastest pace in the league, and they concede the worst effective field goal percentage — 59.9 eFG% — to opponents per dunksandthrees.com.
The Wizards vs Hornets over/under is set at 241.5 as of writing, signaling a lot of points will be scored in this matchup.
