Puff Johnson - Returns for rivalry game Johnson logged three points (1-4 FG, 1-3 3Pt), two rebounds, one assist and one steal across 16 minutes during Saturday's 63-57 loss to Duke.
Impact Johnson returned to action following a three-game absence and served as the sixth man -- in fact, he was the only reserve to see double-digit minutes. While it's great to see the junior wing back in action, he's unlikely to get on the fantasy radar when serving as a depth option in this capacity.

Duke basketball vs. UNC: A rivalry by the numbers As the Duke-UNC rivalry begins a new chapter, let's take a deep dive into the numbers behind this special game.

RJ Davis - Inefficient scoring during loss Davis provided eight points (3-15 FG, 0-6 3Pt, 2-4 FT), eight rebounds, three assists and one steal over 37 minutes during Wednesday's 65-64 loss to Pittsburgh.
Impact Davis missed most of his field goals and all of his three-point attempts en route to a rather embarrassing loss against a Pittsburgh team without John Hugley (personal). The guard will try to redeem himself across the remainder of February, a month in which he will have plenty of opportunities to compensate for North Carolina's inconsistent output across the last three months.

RJ Davis - Starting vs Pitt Davis is starting as the Tar Heels host Pittsburgh, Noah Hiles of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
Impact Davis suffered a face injury against Syracuse, going down hard after a foul. Luckily for the point guard, North Carolina had an extended period in between games, which appears to have given Davis all the time he needed to heal. The junior has been walking production this season, averaging 16.8 points, 4.8 rebounds and 3.2 assists.

Puff Johnson - Not seen warming up Johnson (knee) wasn't seen warming up ahead of the Tar Heels game against Pittsburgh, Corey Crisan of DKPittsburghSports.com reports.
Impact Johnson wasn't expected to be available Wednesday, so his absence on the court during warm-ups shouldn't come as a surprise. The forward now looks set to miss his third straight matchup, which should pave the way for Tyler Nickel to see an uptick in his minutes off the bench.
