Regresses in win Johnson accumulated nine points (2-6 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal over 32 minutes during Friday's 112-109 win over the Rockets.

Impact Johnson scored single digits for the third time in his past five appearances, continuing what has been a frustrating season. However, he has played at least 32 minutes in three straight games, an encouraging sign despite the inconsistent production. With Aaron Gordon now likely to miss time due to a hamstring injury, managers should be holding Johnson, at least for another week.

Impact After sitting out the Nuggets' prior game Saturday due to bicep soreness, Johnson looked 100 percent healthy in his return as he set new season highs in points and made threes. The 29-year-old wing is struggling to find new role in the offense to begin his first season in Denver, scoring in double digits only four times in his first 12 games while shooting what would be a career-worst 38.9 percent from the floor and 28.9 percent from three-point range. Monday's performance could be a sign that he's starting to get comfortable in his new environment.

Impact Johnson's transition to Denver has been a rocky process thus far, as a nagging shoulder injury and poor shooting have compromised his production. He's only scored in double digits twice the season, demonstrating a massive regression at the position once occupied by Michael Porter. With Tim Hardaway and Bruce Brown also vying for playing time, Johnson will need to step up to keep his starting gig.
