Over the last 10 contests, Johnson is averaging 17.8 points, 9.1 boards, 4.2 assists, 2.3 threes, 1.3 steals and 0.8 blocks, and should the Hawks trade away a key piece with Dejounte Murray (back) at the deadline, his usage over the remainder of the season could increase further.

Impact Johnson contributed across the board while recording zero turnovers. His efficiency was mediocre in the context of facing an undersized Golden State squad, but he continues showcasing his versatility. Atlanta is 18-17 with Johnson in the lineup this season but 4-10 when he's inactive.

FEBRUARY 4, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Strong scoring streak Johnson finished Friday's 129-120 victory over the Suns with 16 points (6-14 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-3 FT), seven rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal across 38 minutes.

Impact Johnson is averaging 19.6 points on 52.1 percent shooting, including 38.1 percent shooting from deep, across his last five games. He has been extremely turnover-averse over that span as well, racking up a 21:3 AST:TO ratio. He profiles as a pillar of the future in Atlanta.

Double-double against Lakers Johnson ended with 19 points (8-14 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 11 rebounds, three assists and three steals in 35 minutes during Tuesday's 138-122 victory over the Lakers.

Drops 25 in wild loss Friday Johnson closed with 25 points (10-12 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT), three rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal over 37 minutes before fouling out of Friday's 148-143 loss to Dal...

Impact All five Atlanta starters scored in double digits, including 30 from Trae Young, and four different Hawks topped 20, but it was all for naught versus Luka Doncic's 73-point masterclass. Johnson has delivered 20 or more points five times in 13 January contests, continuing a breakout campaign that has seen the third-year forward average 16.6 points, 8.0 boards, 3.7 assists, 1.7 steals, 1.3 threes and 0.8 blocks on the month while shooting 50.6 percent from the floor.

Sniffs double-double in loss Johnson closed with 21 points (8-16 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 3-5 FT), nine rebounds, six assists and one steal across 36 minutes during Wednesday's 134-112 loss to Golden State.

Impact Johnson bounced back after a poor shooting night against the Kings, logging 36 minutes as a critical piece of Atlanta's offense. His regular contributions in almost every category are sorely needed during Trae Young's (concussion) absence, and although his scoring totals can vary, Wednesday marked his sixth consecutive game with a double-digit scoring total.

Solid defense in loss Johnson registered 11 points (4-18 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 2-4 FT), seven rebounds, two blocks and one steal in 38 minutes during Monday's 122-107 loss to the Kings.

Impact Johnson had problems with his shot in the loss, but he was an excellent contributor on the defensive end. Johnson matched a season high with 18 shot attempts, an increase that was likely due to the absence of Trae Young on the court. The team certainly needs more of those shots to fall, but his increased involvement as a fixture in the starting lineup indicates a strong interest in the Duke product's future development.

Efficient in win Friday Johnson ended Friday's 109-108 win over Miami with 15 points (7-14 FG, 1-4 3Pt), seven rebounds, two assists and two steals in 34 minutes.

Impact Johnson has done a good job since returning from a wrist injury that made him almost an entire month between Nov. 26 and Dec. 23, and he is firmly entrenched as the Hawks' starting power forward while delivering consistent numbers every time he steps on the hardwood. He has scored in double digits in all but one of his 12 contests since returning from the injury, putting up 15.8 points, 9.6 rebounds and 3.6 assists per game in that span.

Defensive masterclass Monday Johnson accumulated 16 points (7-13 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-1 FT), 10 rebounds, seven assists and six steals across 38 minutes during Monday's 109-99 victory over the Spurs.

Impact Johnson tallied a career-high six steals in the win, recording his eighth double-double of the season. Despite a couple of concerns regarding his role coming into the season, Johnson has been a revelation for the Hawks. He is putting up third-round value for the season, averaging 15.0 points per game, adding 8.3 rebounds, 3.1 assists, 1.3 steals, 0.8 blocks and 1.2 three-pointers. Anyone who snagged him late in their drafts has to be feeling good about themselves.

He's averaging 18.1 points, 11.3 rebounds, 4.1 assists, 1.3 threes and 1.0 steals over that stretch while shooting 57.0 percent from the floor, and further injuries seem like the only thing that could derail Johnson's breakout campaign.
