Mavericks' Deron Williams: Probable for Thursday

Williams (calf) is listed as probable to play in Thursday's game against the Hornets, Earl K. Sneed of Mavs.com reports.

Analysis:

Williams' presence on the injury report is likely just precautionary, as he played 26 minutes in Wednesday's loss to the Spurs without incident and has already played three games since returning from the calf injury. However, coach Rick Carlisle could decide to restrict Williams' minutes in the second half of a back-to-back set, so he's not the safest option at point guard in DFS contests.
