Posts season-high 34 points in win Johnson supplied 34 points (11-20 FG, 6-12 3Pt, 6-6 FT), five rebounds, four assists, two blocks and one steal in 38 minutes during Tuesday's 116-115 win over Charlotte.

Impact Johnson took on an increased offensive burden with Cam Thomas (back) out for Tuesday's contest. The 28-year-old forward was able to capitalize on having the ball in his hands more by posting a season-high 34 points in a narrow victory. Johnson is proving yet again to be an elite outside shooter, converting 39.3 percent of his 7.8 three-point attempts per game.

Scores team-high 22 points Johnson provided 22 points (7-12 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five rebounds and five assists across 31 minutes during Sunday's 114-104 loss to the Knicks.

Impact Players like Cam Thomas and Ben Simmons weren't at their best on offense, but Johnson picked up the slack and led Brooklyn in scoring in this 10-point defeat. This was Johnson's fifth game with at least 20 points, and all but one of those has come since the start of November. The lack of consistency as a scorer remains there, but the former UNC standout averages 18.2 points per game in nine November appearances.

Leads Brooklyn in scoring Johnson closed Saturday's 105-100 loss to the Cavaliers with 23 points (8-13 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 3-3 FT), five rebounds and one assist across 31 minutes.

Impact Johnson took over the game in the third quarter with a couple of clutch buckets, and even though the Nets couldn't keep the momentum going down the stretch, Johnson did enough to stand out in this matchup against an undefeated Cavaliers team. Johnson led the Nets in scoring in this one, and while this was his fourth game with at least 20 points this season, it's worth noting three of those have come across his last four appearances.

NOVEMBER 10 • ROTOWIRE

Steps up with 20 points Johnson finished with 20 points (8-11 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds and two assists in 36 minutes during Monday's 106-104 victory over Memphis.

Impact Through eight games, Johnson has scored at least 20 points three times. He's key to Brooklyn's attack and has been a massive asset in fantasy leagues with averages of 16.6 points, 3.9 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 0.8 steals and 3.0 three-pointers.

NOVEMBER 5 • ROTOWIRE

Strong from three as top scorer Johnson racked up 26 points (9-19 FG, 3-12 3Pt, 5-6 FT), one rebound, three assists, one block and one steal across 30 minutes during Sunday's 106-92 loss to the Pistons.

Impact Johnson once again provided a boost to the Brooklyn offense Sunday, leading all Nets players in threes made and concluding with a game-best scoring total in a losing effort. Johnson set a new season high in scoring, posting his second outing with at least 20 points. Johnson has connected on at least three threes in four of his last five contests.

NOVEMBER 4 • ROTOWIRE

Strong showing in OT loss Johnson posted 20 points (7-14 FG, 6-10 3Pt), seven rebounds, five assists and one steal in 40 minutes during Tuesday's 144-139 overtime loss to the Nuggets.

Impact The 28-year-old forward set new highs on the young season in points, boards, assists and made threes, although it wasn't enough to get the Nets into the win column. Johnson has scored at least 12 points in all four games so far in 2024-25, but as yet he isn't showing signs of taking a big step forward from his numbers the last couple of campaigns, remaining in a complementary role despite Brooklyn's need for someone to emerge as a lead dog on offense.

Underwhelms in loss Friday Johnson closed Friday's 116-101 loss to the Magic with 12 points (4-12 FG, 2-10 3Pt, 2-3 FT), two rebounds, two assists and one block over 35 minutes.

Impact Johnson delivered an uninspiring performance, despite scoring double-digits for the second straight game. Although expectations are somewhat muted, managers would love to see Johnson doing a bit more on both ends of the floor. He remains a viable fantasy asset for now, however, if things don't start to trend in the right direction, he could eventually become expendable.

OCTOBER 26 • ROTOWIRE

Erupts for 32 points in loss Johnson totaled 32 points (11-21 FG, 7-14 3PT, 3-4 FT), four rebounds, four assists and one block in 32 minutes during Friday's preseason loss to the Raptors.

Impact Johnson came from the clouds to score a game-high 32 points, reminding everyone just what he is capable of on the offensive end of the floor. With the Nets unlikely to challenge for a playoff spot, Johnson could be primed for a bounce-back campaign after struggling in recent years. Both he and Cam Thomas should have a green light to fire off as many shots as they like. Typically available after pick 100 in standard leagues, Johnson could prove to be a difference-maker should his confidence return this season.

OCTOBER 19 • ROTOWIRE

Solid display Wednesday Johnson posted 11 points (4-11 FG, 3-9 3Pt), five rebounds and six assists across 28 minutes in Wednesday's 117-95 preseason loss to the 76ers.

Impact Johnson was one of six Brooklyn players who scored in double digits Wednesday, and one of the three starters who reached the 10-point threshold. Johnson is set to open the season as the Nets' starting small forward, and while the team is bound to struggle right out of the gate, Johnson could have decent fantasy upside with freedom to shoot and his ability to contribute in other categories, such as rebounds and assists.

Impact Johnson has now missed seven out of his last 10 games, averaging 7.7 points and 3.0 rebounds in 23.0 minutes during his three appearances.

Won't play Saturday Johnson (toe) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Pistons, Evan Barnes of Newsday reports.

Impact Johnson was initially considered doubtful, but the Nets won't risk him, and the forward will miss a game for the fifth time over Brooklyn's last seven contests. He's been playing off the bench in recent weeks, so he's not expected to carry a lot of fantasy upside even when he's available. Johnson's next chance to play will come against the Kings on Sunday.

APRIL 6 • ROTOWIRE

Considered doubtful for Saturday Johnson is doubtful for Saturday's game against the Pistons due to a left big toe sprain, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.

Impact Johnson recently missed time due to his sprained toe, but he's appeared in two of the last three games. He briefly exited Wednesday's win over the Pacers, but it's unclear whether it was due to the toe issue. However, the 28-year-old will likely be forced to miss Saturday's matchup, which could lead to increased roles for Dorian Finney-Smith, Jalen Wilson and Lonnie Walker.

Impact Johnson came into the contest battling a sprained big toe; however, it's unclear if the injury was related to Wednesday's locker room trip. Regardless, he's returned to the contest and should be good to go the rest of the way.

Full-go against Indiana Johnson (toe) is available for Wednesday's game versus the Pacers and won't be on any minutes restriction, Evan Barnes of Newsday reports.

Impact Johnson has been upgraded from probable to available Wednesday after missing Brooklyn's previous contest with a left big toe sprain. The 27-year-old forward is averaging 13.1 points, 4.0 rebounds and 1.7 assists in 26.8 minutes across his last 10 appearances.

Impact Johnson took a seat for Monday's loss to Indiana, which was the second night of a back-to-back set, for rest purposes, but he'll likely return to action Wednesday. On Sunday, the sharpshooter posted just five points (2-10 FG) in 20 minutes off the bench during his return from a three-game absence due to a toe sprain.
