Cameron Johnson

Cameron Johnson (knee) has been diagnosed with a bone bruise and is expected to miss some time. And great news that no structural damage was found to his knee after taking a bad fall against the Mavericks.

Fantasy Impact

Johnson was the Nuggets big addition this offseason and while his impact wasn’t what they hoped so far, he had still been a fine add for the team. Now, they’ll have to make things work without him as he heals up. Expect Tim Hardaway Jr. and Bruce Brown to get more work in his absence.

Cameron Johnson scored 19 points (6-9 FG, 3-5 3PT, 4-4 FT) and grabbed 11 rebounds in Thursday night's 126-115 win over the Orlando Magic.

Fantasy Impact

Johnson was a key contributor for the Nuggets on Thursday night. He scored 19 points and was able to pair that with 11 rebounds to complete the double-double, and he also finished with by far the best +/- on the team at +27. Look for him to continue to be a good fantasy option for the foreseeable future, although he may not produce quite at this level on a consistent basis.

Cameron Johnson scored 9 points (3-7 FG, 2-3 FG, 1-2 FT) with four rebounds, four assists, and a steal in the Nuggets' 135-120 win over the Pacers.

Fantasy Impact

Johnson took a back seat in this game to the likes of Jamal Murray, who went off for 52. He still played a good dose of minutes, but simply wasn't needed as the Nuggets routed the struggling Pacers. He will look to bounce back next time out.

Cameron Johnson put up 28 points (10-16 FG, 6-9 3PT, 2-2 FT) to go with six rebounds and two steals in Friday's 139-136 loss to the San Antonio Spurs.

Fantasy Impact

The Nuggets suffered a loss at the hands of the Spurs on Friday, but not much blame can be put on Johnson for that. He put up a season-high 28 points in that matchup and ended the game with a +/- of +7. He has been heating up recently and should continue to be a good fantasy option for the foreseeable future.

Cameron Johnson filled the stat sheet for the Nuggets Saturday night, grabbing five rebounds, blocking one shot, dishing out four assists, and scoring 20 points (7-11 FG, 4-7 3PT, 2-3 FT) in a 128-123 loss to the Kings.

Fantasy Impact

Johnson continues a modest stretch on both ends of the floor, finishing with three or more rebounds and nine or more points in each of his last four games. The 29-year-old has operated as more of a complementary option as part of a Denver starting five led by Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray, averaging 9.4 points, 2.2 assists, and 3.1 rebounds per game to go along with a usage rate of 14.1% so far this season.
