Continues playing heavy minutes Johnson notched 13 points (5-9 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds and two assists in 43 minutes during Monday's 128-125 overtime win over the Rockets.

Impact Johnson has performed better over the past month, though his lack of contributions in other areas of the box remains frustrating for fantasy managers. The sharpshooter has averaged 15.0 points, 4.0 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 2.6 three-pointers in 35.9 minutes per contest his last 13 outings, shooting 47.9 percent from deep.

Bounces back Thursday Johnson finished Thursday's 136-105 win over Sacramento with 16 points (6-13 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 3-4 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one steal over 33 minutes.

Impact Johnson stepped up in a game where Jamal Murray struggled, and the veteran forward has now scored at least 15 points in six of his last nine appearances. His shooting splits are favorable as well. Over that nine-game stretch, Johnson is scoring 15.6 points per game while shooting 49.5 percent from the floor and 46.3 percent from three-point range. Johnson's overall season numbers might not be encouraging, but it's clear he's left his early-season shooting woes in the past.

Struggles in victory Johnson ended with nine points (3-7 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, four assists and one steal in 34 minutes during Wednesday's 135-120 win over the Pacers.

Impact Johnson failed to hit any great heights, scoring single digits for the first time in his past six games. After a slow start to the season, Johnson has been playing better of late, thanks largely to the fact that both Aaron Gordon (hamstring) and Christian Braun (ankle) are sidelined. Although his ceiling is somewhat limited, he remains a must-roster player, at least until the Nuggets are fully healthy.

Pops for season-high 28 Johnson chipped in 28 points (10-16 FG, 6-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, one assist, one block and two steals over 38 minutes during Friday's 139-136 loss to San Antonio.

Impact The 28 points were a season high for Johnson, topping the 20 points he scored just six days prior against the Kings. The 29-year-old wing is beginning to look more comfortable in a Denver jersey, and over the last six games he's averaging 18.0 points, 4.8 boards, 3.3 threes, 2.5 assists and 0.8 steals while shooting 58.7 percent from the floor and a dazzling 62.5 percent (20-for-32) from beyond the arc.

Impact Johnson scored single digits for the third time in his past five appearances, continuing what has been a frustrating season.

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.

Goes scoreless in rout Johnson posted zero points (0-3 FG, 0-2 3Pt), one rebound, four assists and one steal over 25 minutes during Friday's 129-104 win over the Warriors.

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.
