Only six points in Game 3 loss Johnson produced six points (2-6 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, one assist and one steal over 24 minutes during Thursday's 113-96 loss to the Timberwolves in Game 3 of the fir...

Impact Johnson couldn't get anything going on the offensive end, although he was certainly not alone, as Denver was soundly beaten by Minnesota on the road. On the whole, it's been a mediocre season for Johnson, averaging just 12.1 points and 2.0 three-pointers in 57 appearances.

Impact Johnson logged 33 minutes in Game 1. While he managed to supply 12 points, he didn't contribute much to other statistical categories. The former Net also made only two of his seven tries from behind the arc. With a win by the Nuggets to open the series, Johnson will look to turn things around on the offensive end Monday night in Game 2.

Good to go for Game 1 Johnson (ankle) is available for Game 1 against Minnesota on Saturday.

Impact The Nuggets kept Johnson off the court for their final two regular-season games, but they'll have the forward back on the floor for the start of the playoffs. A midseason right knee bone bruise limited Johnson to just 54 appearances in his debut season with Denver, but he did average solid 12.8 points, 4.1 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 2.2 three-pointers per contest while shooting 43.1 percent from deep across his final 26 games.

Impact Just like in Friday's win over the Thunder, Johnson will sit out this game due to rest purposes.

Not playing Friday Johnson (rest) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Thunder, Ryan Blackburn of MileHighSports.com reports.

Impact Johnson will join fellow starters Christian Braun (ankle), Jamal Murray (shoulder), Jamal Murray (shoulder) and Nikola Jokic (wrist) on the bench for Friday's contest. With Peyton Watson (hamstring) and Spencer Jones (hamstring) also ruled out, the Nuggets will turn to Tim Hardaway, Julian Strawther, Bruce Brown, Jalen Pickett and Tyus Jones to alleviate the load.

May be rested Johnson (rest) is questionable for Friday's game against the Thunder.

Impact Johnson, along with Denver's other four starters, are all carrying questionable tags with the team contemplating some maintenance days. Bruce Brown, Tim Hardaway and Julian Strawther could see expanded roles if multiple players sit out for Denver.

Efficient shooting performance Johnson closed with 18 points (8-12 FG, 2-4 3Pt), three rebounds, two assists and one steal in 30 minutes during Wednesday's 136-119 win over Memphis.

Impact Johnson might have a secondary role in the Nuggets' offensive scheme, but there's no question the sharpshooting forward is making the most of his opportunities of late. He's scored at least 17 points in each of his last four games, and he'll continue to have tons of scoring touches as long as he stays hot with his shooting. Over that four-game stretch, Johnson is making 45.5 percent of his threes on 5.5 attempts per contest.

Hits for diverse line in OT win Johnson provided 17 points (6-9 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 4-5 FT), six rebounds and seven assists in 37 minutes during Monday's 137-132 overtime victory over the Trail Blazers.

Impact Although injuries and inconsistent totals have plagued Johnson's first season with the Nuggets, he's coming alive at the right time. Over the past 10 games, Johnson has remained steady, averaging 14.2 points, 4.4 rebounds, 3.0 assists, and 1.2 steals while maintaining a conversion rate of 52.1 percent during the span. Assuming he stays healthy, Johnson will prop up the wing position with fantasy-worthy numbers in the playoffs.

Impact The veteran forward fell one board short of his second double-double of the season, with the first coming way back on Dec. 18 against the Magic. Johnson has scored in double digits in 10 of the last 12 games, averaging 14.7 points, 3.7 rebounds, 2.8 threes, 2.6 assists and 1.1 steals over that span while shooting 54.4 percent from the floor and 48.6 percent from downtown.

Impact Johnson couldn't miss to begin Sunday's game, drilling his first five buckets, which was nice to see after he was limited to just six points on 2-for-7 shooting his last time out. This was Johnson's second straight game with multiple steals, and as a bonus for 9-cat managers, he finished the match without a single turnover.
