Having entered Monday shooting 37.2 percent from the field and 21.1 percent from three, Johnson needed a good night in the worst way. Against the Bulls, he shot 5-of-7 from beyond the arc and finished with season-highs in points and three-pointers. This was the first game in which Johnson made at least three three-pointers in a game, and his previous high point total was 15. One game does not make Johnson a player worth rostering in 12-team leagues again, but it’s a step in the right direction.

Johnson is back after a one-game absence, and he will be in the starting lineup. Tim Hardaway Jr. will head to the bench, where he offers a lower fantasy ceiling. Johnson has struggled to begin his time in Denver and is no longer a must-roster player in 12-team leagues.

Johnson, who has struggled when available, did not play in Saturday’s win over the Timberwolves. Peyton Watson received the starting nod and was productive; he may hold onto the job even if Johnson is deemed healthy enough to play. Given his struggles, Johnson is droppable in 12-team leagues.

Johnson exited early from Denver’s last game and will remain sidelined on Saturday. Peyton Watson should slide into the starting lineup in his place, though there should be extra minutes for Bruce Brown as well with Christian Braun (ankle) set to miss at least six weeks.

Johnson’s layup attempt with seven seconds left in regulation of a tie game was erases by Toumani Camara and the Trail Blazers would go on to win on free throws. The 29-year-old small forward has struggled mightily in his first few games with the Nuggets. Johnson has failed to score even 10 points in four of five games this year. He’s dealing with a shoulder injury that could be the root cause of his struggles and fantasy managers have to take that into account.

While he’s yet to miss a full game this season, Johnson did exit Monday’s win over the Timberwolves during the fourth quarter due to right shoulder inflammation. On Wednesday, he only attempted four shots in Denver’s blowout of the Pelicans, so the injury may still be an issue. Johnson is probable to play, but fantasy managers should plan for limited production.

Johnson was forced to exit Monday’s win over the Timberwolves during the fourth quarter due to right shoulder inflammation. He’s good to go for Wednesday’s game after initially being listed as questionable on the Nuggets’ injury report. Johnson will be part of the Nuggets’ starting lineup.

Johnson exited Monday’s win over the Timberwolves early in the fourth quarter with right shoulder inflammation. This is the first time he’s been on the injury report with the shoulder issue, so it’s unlikely to have impacted his slow start before Monday. Peyton Watson was in the closing lineup on Monday, which could mean he’ll start if Johnson cannot play against the Pelicans.

Johnson left the game with 10:42 left and was deemed questionable to return. He sat out the rest of the game. Peyton Watson was part of the closing lineup, and if Johnson remains out against the Pelicans on Wednesday, Watson would have a good chance to start.

Johnson was acquired by the Nuggets this offseason in a deal that sent Michael Porter Jr. to Brooklyn. His first game wasn’t what they were hoping to get out of him. He struggled to hit shots and didn’t contribute much in the box score elsewhere. Don’t panic; Johnson will be just fine, and he fits in well on this team. He’ll have an opportunity to bounce back against the Suns on Saturday.

Johnson was dealt to Denver as part of a trade that sent Michael Porter Jr. to Brooklyn this summer. His first action with his new team, albeit just the preseason, wasn’t exactly a performance to write home about. However, Johnson should fit in flawlessly with this squad that is looking to get back to the championship after being eliminated in the conference semifinals last season.

Johnson has been a popular trade target for some time due to his two-way ability on the wing. Denver was able to make Brooklyn an offer it could not refuse, upgrading their wing rotation. While their scoring averages were similar, Johnson is also a capable three-point shooter and provides more value defensively. Also, the trade frees up additional cap space for the Nuggets as they look to challenge Oklahoma City for Western Conference supremacy. Johnson’s fantasy value may take a slight hit playing alongside Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray, but not much, since he’ll be a fixture in Denver’s starting lineup.

Johnson hasn’t played since March 29 and won’t return for the regular season finale, which isn’t surprising. Trendon Watford and Tosan Evbuomwan will continue to fill out plenty of minutes at the forward spots.

While Keon will get a rest day on Tuesday, Cameron will miss a fourth straight game with a back injury. Trendon Watford will likely remain in the starting lineup, while Keon’s absence frees up additional minutes for Dariq Whitehead and Maxwell Lewis. One of those two will likely move into the starting five, raising their streaming value to managers whose leagues remain active.

The only other update that head coach Jordi Fernandez provided was that they haven’t made a decision on D’Angelo Russell’s status for their matchup with Toronto, though he is still dealing with soreness in his ankle. Depending on that statuses of Jalen Wilson and Ziaire Williams, Trendon Watford and Maxwell Lewis could be in line for another starting nod.

Noah Clowney (ankle) is out. Brooklyn’s frontcourt rotation will be thin on Monday, which means Jalen Wilson and Drew Timme could see increased run.

Johnson had an excellent game with 18 points on 10 shots and was just one rebound and three assists away from a triple-double. He only played 24 minutes after taking a hard fall on his back in the second half of the game. It’s unclear what his availability will be going forward, but this is certainly an excuse for the Nets to shut Johnson down for the rest of the season. Jalen Wilson and Trendon Watford could see more playing time if that were the case.

Friday night was rough for Johnson and those who have him rostered. He provided limited production and only played for 20 minutes. While Johnson’s playing time occasionally taking a hit is unsurprising since the Nets aim to improve their draft lottery odds, 20 minutes is extreme for a player of his caliber. And with Brooklyn visiting the Wizards on Saturday, there’s no guarantee he will be available. Consider Johnson questionable for that matchup.

Johnson sat out against Toronto on Wednesday but isn’t on the injury report against Los Angeles. He should return to his normal spot in the starting lineup, which will push Noah Clowney back to the bench and eliminate the streaming value that he held.

The Nets and Raptors are heading for a “tank-off” on Wednesday, so Johnson’s and Sharpe’s absences aren’t too surprising. Jalen Wilson, Noah Clowney and Trendon Watford are all candidates for increased run against Toronto.

While fantasy managers can undoubtedly use the points and assists recorded by Johnson on Monday, there were issues. The 1-of-7 night from three wasn’t a huge issue, as few fantasy leagues use three-point percentage as a scoring category. Unfortunately, the six turnovers will impact Johnson’s value in nine-cat formats during Week 21. The good news is that high-turnover nights have not been the norm for Cam, who has been a fourth-round player in nine-cat formats over the past two weeks. The Nets play three more games during Week 21, starting with the Raptors on Wednesday.

Johnson did not play in Thursday’s overtime loss to the Pacers, sitting out for rest reasons. He logged starters’ minutes on Saturday, alleviating the concerns of fantasy managers who may have been curious about how much Johnson would play. His availability is worth watching moving forward, especially with the Nets ending their four-game Week 21 with a Friday/Saturday back-to-back.

Johnson will be back after sitting out against Indiana on Thursday. Jalen Wilson started in place of Johnson, but he will likely return to the bench for Saturday’s rematch. However, Ziaire Williams is questionable, so Wilson may remain in the starting lineup if Williams is out.

It’s that time of year. Johnson is getting the night off Thursday for rest, which isn’t what fantasy managers want to hear this time of year. With Keon Johnson and Ziaire Williams already in the starting lineup with Cam Thomas out for the year, Noah Clowney could move into the starting lineup for Johnson.

Johnson was effective as a scorer and playmaker on Sunday. He got to the charity stripe plenty to help him eclipse 22 points in a second-straight contest. The Nets sharpshooter is looking to generate momentum in the back half of March after being underwhelming at the start of the month. He’ll look to continue building upon his recent success against the Celtics on Tuesday.

Johnson has surpassed the 20-point mark on three occasions since returning from a sprained ankle in early February, a somewhat underwhelming return for a shooter of his caliber. However, fantasy managers are likely pleased that he continues to play starters’ minutes for a team focused on the draft lottery. Johnson has provided sixth-round value in eight- and nine-cat formats since the All-Star break. The Nets play three games during Week 20, starting with Tuesday’s rematch with the Celtics in Boston.
