Player to watch: Derrick Williams, Kings

The former Timberwolves forward and No. 2 overall draft pick returns to Target Center for the first time since that November trade sent him to Sacramento for Luc Mbah a Moute. He's getting consistent minutes coming off the Kings' bench, but other than a 31-point game last month he's been what he was for the Wolves: up and down.
