Watch. Khaman Maluach produces more when Mark Williams is off the floor, and Williams is now out for an extended stretch.
Williams was ruled out with a return date of 2027-02-01. That is a long runway for Phoenix's frontcourt minutes to shift toward Ighodaro and Maluach.
Across 23 games without Williams this season, Maluach has averaged 12.26 FPG on 12.7 minutes, up from 4.88 FPG on 5.0 minutes with him on the floor. Twenty-three games is a decent sample, and it lines up with a minutes signal that also fired recently, with his minutes over his last 10 games running above his season mark.
For context, he sits at 8.5 FPG on the season, ranked 424th, and is only 1.59% rostered, so he is available in essentially every league.
On the betting side, the lift shows up mostly in rebounds and blocks given his shot volume stays low, so the rebounds prop market is the one most likely to move if his minutes climb further.
