Efficient night off bench Johnson amassed 16 points (6-7 FG, 3-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds, three assists and five blocks over 22 minutes during Thursday's 129-100 win over the 76ers.
Impact It was a sharp performance from the veteran forward, who had managed only nine points total in the last three games after shifting back to the second unit following Kevin Durant's return to action. The five blocks were a season high for Johnson while the three made threes tied his season high, but his inconsistent production makes him little more than a DFS dart throw for fantasy purposes.
