Impact Johnson was one rebound and three assists shy of registering his third triple-double of his career, and he finished Friday's game as the Hawks' third-leading scorer behind De'Andre Hunter (23) and Trae Young (21). Johnson has scored at least 20 points in four straight games, and since and including Nov. 1 he has averaged 21.2 points, 10.0 rebounds, 5.8 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.1 blocks over 36.0 minutes per game.

Impact Johnson turned in a solid shooting performance and flirted with a double-double. He also posted his best passing game since Nov. 15 and recorded at least one block and one steal for a second straight appearance. The Duke product is now averaging 23.0 points and 10.2 rebounds over his last five games.

Leads Atlanta in scoring Monday Johnson contributed 28 points (12-20 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 11 rebounds, three assists, one block and three steals over 37 minutes during Monday's 129-119 loss to the Mavericks.

Impact Johnson seems to have taken over Trae Young as the No. 1 option on offense for the Hawks, and the numbers back that up. The star forward, who's emerging as a reliable double-double, stat-filling machine every time he steps on the court, has posted five double-doubles and a triple-double across his last six appearances. He's averaging 21.5 points, 11.3 rebounds, 5.5 assists, 1.7 steals and 1.5 blocks per contest in that six-game stretch.

Posts double-double in return Johnson closed with 15 points (6-16 FG, 3-5 3Pt), 14 rebounds, four assists and two steals over 35 minutes during Wednesday's 120-97 loss to Golden State.

Impact Johnson returned from a one-game absence and notched his seventh double-double of the season, albeit while shooting poorly from the floor. Any player can have an off night from the floor, however, so fantasy managers shouldn't be worried about Johnson's efficiency, particularly in this matchup against an on-the-rise Warriors team. Johnson's role as one of the Hawks' go-to players on offense shouldn't be under any threat going forward, and he'll remain valuable in fantasy even amid an occasional off night due to his impressive two-way contributions.

Impact Johnson missed Monday's contest with left lateral lower leg inflammation, but he's been given the green light to face Golden State. Johnson has started in all 14 appearances this season, averaging 19.4 points, 10.0 rebounds, 5.4 assists and 2.4 combined steals-plus-blocks.

Iffy for Wednesday Johnson (lower leg) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Warriors, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

Impact Johnson is dealing with left lateral lower leg inflammation, and he missed his first game of the season in Monday's win over the Kings. If the 22-year-old forward is unable to play, Garrison Mathews and De'Andre Hunter are candidates for an increased role.

Won't suit up Monday Johnson (lower leg) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Kings, Lauren L. Williams of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Impact Johnson was a late addition to the injury report and is dealing with left lateral lower leg inflammation. With the 22-year-old forward sidelined, Garrison Mathews, De'Andre Hunter and Larry Nance are candidates for an increased role Monday.

Scores 25 points Sunday Johnson registered 25 points (10-14 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds, four assists, one block and two steals over 37 minutes during Sunday's 114-110 loss to the Trail Blazers.

Impact Johnson was extremely efficient Sunday and missed just four of his 14 shots en route to leading the Hawks in scoring despite the defeat. Trae Young remains the go-to player for Atlanta, but Johnson continues to thrive and is surpassing the numbers he posted in his career-best campaign in 2023-24. He's scored at least 20 points in six of his nine appearances in November, a span where he's averaging 20.8 points, 9.4 rebounds and 6.1 assists per contest.

Secures sixth double-double Johnson contributed 18 points (8-15 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 1-1 FT), 13 rebounds, seven assists and four blocks across 35 minutes during Friday's 129-117 victory over Washington.

Impact Johnson turned in a decent shooting night and led the Hawks with four swats, his best mark in a game this season. He's consistently produced across the board over his last seven appearances, averaging 21.1 points, 10.9 rebounds, 6.0 assists and 1.4 blocks in 36.1 minutes.

Records triple-double in win Johnson recorded 18 points (8-17 FG, 2-4 3Pt), 13 rebounds, 10 assists, one block and three steals across 39 minutes during Tuesday's 117-116 victory over the Celtics.

Impact Johnson shouldered a lot of the play-making responsibilities, tallying a season-high 10 assists. With Trae Young sidelined due to an Achilles issue, it was Johnson who stepped up, continuing his strong start to the season. Despite some off-shooting nights, he has been relatively consistent and at this point, we may just be scratching the surface when it comes to what he is capable of on a basketball court.

Stays hot from downtown Johnson accumulated 20 points (8-19 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds, one assist and one block over 37 minutes during Friday's 122-121 loss to the Pistons.

Impact Johnson reached the 20-point threshold for the fourth game in a row, and he also continued to add value from beyond the arc. The Duke product has nailed two or more triples in three straight, though this number will likely fall back down to earth considering he averaged 1.3 made triples across 56 regular-season appearances a season ago.

Sniffs triple-double in win Johnson posted 23 points (10-18 FG, 3-6 3Pt), 15 rebounds, seven assists and one block over 39 minutes during Wednesday's 121-116 victory over the Knicks.

Impact Johnson was one of the main reasons why the Hawks pulled the upset against the Knicks, and he finished just three dimes away from recording what would've been his first triple-double of the campaign. It seems the breakout season he had in 2023-24 was the real deal, as the star forward is putting up even better numbers throughout the first two weeks of the 2024-25 campaign. Through nine contests, Johnson is averaging career-high marks in points (18.9), rebounds (10.6), assists (5.3), steals (1.6) and blocks (0.9) per game.

Stuffs stat sheet once again Johnson ended Monday's 123-93 loss to the Celtics with 20 points (7-20 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 4-5 FT), 11 rebounds, four assists and one steal over 31 minutes.

Impact Johnson didn't have his best performance from an efficiency perspective, but that won't matter much if he continues to deliver the same numbers he's been posting over the first two weeks of the regular season. Johnson could be in line for a sizable uptick in usage in case Trae Young (ribs) is forced to miss time, but even if that's not the case, his role as a primary offensive weapon in Atlanta is set in stone. Through eight contests, Johnson is averaging 18.4 points, 10.0 rebounds, 5.1 assists and 1.8 steals per game.

Impact Johnson has taken things off to a new level this season and is showing improvement on both ends of the court after his career-best season in 2023-24. The star forward has entrenched himself as one of the Hawks' primary scoring threats, even ahead of Trae Young at times, and the numbers back him up. Johnson has scored over 20 points in three of his last four games and is averaging 23.3 points, 10.8 rebounds and 7.0 assists per game in that four-game stretch.

Impact The 22-year-old led the Hawks in points, rebounds and blocks while dishing out the second-highest mark in assists behind Trae Young (12).
