JALEN JOHNSON NEWS

Struggles from field Wednesday Johnson had 17 points (8-21 FG, 0-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), nine rebounds, four assists and six steals across 38 minutes during Wednesday's 114-104 loss to the Pistons.

Impact Johnson had a rough shooting performance, but fantasy managers will gladly look past the efficiency issues given how he filled the stat sheet. He finished just one rebound away from recording his third straight double-double, and the six steals tied a season-high mark for him. Johnson is averaging 15.3 points, 10.5 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 1.8 steals per game in four outings this month.

Iffy for Wednesday Johnson (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game versus the Pistons, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

Double-double in loss Johnson logged 11 points (4-12 FG, 3-3 FT), 12 rebounds, four assists and a block in 35 minutes during Monday's 119-110 loss to the Knicks.

Impact The fourth-year forward logged his second straight double-double in two games back from a shoulder injury that sidelined him for just over two weeks. Although his efficiency in both games has been less than desirable, it's certainly possible that Johnson's just shaking off the rust, especially as he was shooting over 50 percent from the field prior to going down at the beginning of the month. His next outing comes Wednesday against the Pistons.

Likely to play Monday Johnson is probable for Monday's game against the Knicks due to right shoulder inflammation, Lauren L. Williams of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Impact Johnson has been dealing with a shoulder problem for quite some time, but the probable tag suggests he's going to play through it and should handle his regular workload. He tallied 14 points (5-13 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 4-7 FT), 13 rebounds, three assists, one steal and one block across 38 minutes Saturday in the Hawks' 119-115 overtime win over the Celtics.

Impact Johnson had been held out of the Hawks' previous five games with an inflamed right shoulder, but he didn't seem to be operating under any restrictions in his return to action. He exceeded his season-long average of 36.4 minutes per game, and though he filled out the stat sheet nicely, poor efficiency from the field and free-throw line took a bigger night off the table. Fantasy managers can feel comfortable plugging Johnson back into their lineups ahead of the Hawks' four-game week, which begins with a matchup with the Knicks on Monday.
