Rockets' Lou Williams: Will rest Monday vs. Clippers

Williams won't play during Monday's tilt against the Clippers for rest, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Analysis:

With only two regular-season games left after Sunday's tilt against the Kings, coach Mike D'Antoni will opt to rest Williams on Monday against the Clippers, likely hoping to keep him fresh for the playoffs. He's taken on an extended workload over the past seven games, averaging 29.7 minutes per game compared to his season average of 24.5 minutes per game. It's unclear at the moment whether or not he will be available for the Rockets' final game Wednesday against the Timberwolves, but fantasy owners should keep their eyes peeled in case Williams gets ruled out for the remainder of the regular season, effectively nullifying his fantasy value.
