Just misses double-double Johnson ended Sunday's 124-113 victory over the Wizards with 12 points (4-6 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and nine rebounds in 24 minutes.

Impact Johnson narrowly missed what would've been his third double-double of the season, providing a nice lift off the bench. The swingman is still trending in the wrong direction overall from a fantasy standpoint, with Johnson averaging 11.0 points, 6.7 rebounds and 0.8 assists in 19.0 minutes per contest over his last six games.

Non-factor again Tuesday Johnson recorded three points (1-3 FG, 1-2 3Pt) and four rebounds in 16 minutes during Tuesday's 124-113 loss to New York.

Impact Johnson scored just three points for the second straight game, a worrying sign for anyone still hanging onto him in standard leagues. With Victor Wembanyama continuing to work his way back from a calf injury, the path to minutes for Johnson is far from clear. Given his overall limitations, managers are well within their rights to go hunting for a replacement.

Tallies season-low three points Johnson finished with three points (1-4 FG, 1-2 3Pt), six rebounds and one steal over 14 minutes during Saturday's 111-109 win over the Thunder.

Impact Johnson had his worst game of the season, scoring single digits for just the fifth time. Despite coming off the bench, Johnson has been able to flirt with standard league value, averaging 12.7 points and 6.5 rebounds in 23.6 minutes per game, through 25 games. However, with Victor Wembanyama returning from a calf injury, Johnson's role is likely to be more sporadic, much like it was Saturday.

Scores 12 off bench in win Johnson notched 12 points (5-8 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six rebounds and two assists over 17 minutes during Monday's 135-132 win over the Pelicans.

Impact Johnson has been one of San Antonio's best players off the bench, averaging 13.0 points, 6.5 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 0.7 steals, 0.1 blocks and 2.6 threes across 24.0 minutes this season. While it is unlikely he will ever crack the starting lineup, Johnson has shown the ability to produce in a large role off the bench.

Chips in 13 points off bench Johnson posted 13 points (5-8 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four rebounds and one assist over 25 minutes during the Spurs' 114-112 win over the Magic on Wednesday.

Impact Johnson provided a nice scoring spark off the bench for the Spurs in Wednesday's win and finished second among the team's reserves in points behind Dylan Harper (16). Johnson has scored in double digits in each of his last nine outings, and over that span he has averaged 15.8 points on 60.7 percent shooting along with 7.6 rebounds and 2.0 assists. The 2019 first-rounder and other Spurs players will continue to take on an increased workload on both ends of the floor for as long as Victor Wembanyama (calf) is sidelined.

Big night off bench Sunday Johnson amassed 22 points (8-13 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 4-5 FT), eight rebounds, two assists and two steals over 26 minutes off the bench during Sunday's 125-112 loss to the Timberwolves.

Impact The 26-year-old forward topped 20 points for the second time this season, with both those performances coming in the six games since Stephon Castle (hip) joined Victor Wembanyama (calf) on the sidelines. Over that stretch, Johnson is averaging 17.3 points, 7.7 boards, 2.0 assists, 1.7 threes and 1.0 steals in 26.3 minutes from the second unit while shooting a blistering 61.3 percent from the floor and 43.5 percent (10-for-23) percent from long distance.

Logs double-double from bench Johnson posted 11 points (3-7 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 5-7 FT), 10 rebounds, two assists and one steal in 23 minutes during Wednesday's 115-102 win over the Trail Blazers.

Impact Injuries to Victor Wembanyama (calf) and Stephon Castle (hip) have impacted the depth chart in multiple ways, and the pecking order of the best fantasy options is still a bit unclear beyond De'Aaron Fox. Johnson hasn't started a game yet this season, but it wouldn't be surprising to see the Spurs tinker a bit with the first-unit order if Johnson continues to perform aptly off the glass.
