Amir Johnson contributes 13 off bench in 76ers' win over Bulls
by Adam Udinski | Thu, Oct 18th 11:43pm EDT
Despite playing only 15 minutes Thursday night, Amir Johnson scored 13 points and added three rebounds to spell Joel Embiid as Philadelphia defeated Chicago in their home-opener.
Fantasy Impact:
Owners who started Johnson will gladly accept double-digit points from the Sixers' back-up big man, who only eclipsed the 13 he scored Thursday twice in 74 games played last season. However, expecting high point totals from the veteran center is likely to end in disappointment as he is firmly entrenched behind one of the game's brightest stars in Joel Embiid. Unless Embiid misses extensive time due to injury, Johnson is not worth a second look in most formats.
