Zion Williamson scores 29 points in loss to MavericksFebruary 22, 2025 | 06:40 AM

Zion Williamson continued his strong scoring stretch in Friday's loss to Dallas, finishing with 29 points (11-of-15 FG, 7-of-11 FT), seven rebounds, three assists, and two steals in 27 minutes. Writer's Analysis: Williamson has now scored at least 25 points in four of his last five games, including a 40-point performance on February 8 against Sacramento. While he remains on a back-to-back restriction, his recent production has been strong for fantasy managers. The bigger concern is his long-term availability, as the Pelicans have now fallen to 13-43. With a Sunday matchup against the Spurs and a back-to-back set against the Suns next week, managers should keep an eye on his workload moving forward.
