Williams (knee) is in the starting lineup for Monday's Game 4 against the Hawks, Mike Mazzeo of ESPN reports.

Analysis:

Williams was limited in Game 3 by what teammate Joe Johnson called "severe knee tendinitis," but it appears he'll play through the ailment Monday. The veteran has turned in some decent all-around performances in the playoffs thus far - he's averaging 7.0 rebounds and 5.3 assists for the series - but he's struggled to score the ball, going just 2-of-15 from the field in Games 2 and 3. If Williams' knee becomes an issue Monday, expect Jarrett Jack to pick up his minutes.
