Cameron Johnson

Cameron Johnson (knee) will be inactive for Brooklyn's matchup against the Milwaukee Bucks on Thursday.

Fantasy Impact

Johnson will miss Thursday's game because of soreness in his right knee. It's a newer issue for the forward, so the exact severity of it has yet to be determined. Fantasy managers can look to Dorian Finney-Smith to get more work while Johnson is out against the Bucks.

Cameron Johnson totaled 18 points (6-14 FG, 3-10 3PT, 3-4 FT), one rebound, three assists, and one block in the Nets’ 116-105 win over the Heat.

Fantasy Impact

Johnson scored 18.0 points in the Nets’ win over the Heat, putting together his fifth consecutive game with a double-digit performance. Johnson is having the best season of his young career. He has an excellent opportunity to take his game to the next level now, being on a team with limited viable game-changing assets in the rotation. He has a solid floor, and even though his ceiling is limited has demonstrated the ability to be a game-changer on the court and as a member of your fantasy rosters. Johnson's price-point is low enough to justify an investment and high enough to curb ownership; this, in combination with his conservative play, could be just the right blend of attributes to make him a fine last-piece option. It could take him some time to find his rhythm as his game will have to adjust to the new opportunity; even though this could lead to some inconsistencies, his developing talent, potential, and role on the team could set him up to make ample contributions for a production-starved Nets squad.

Cameron Johnson has been ruled out for Friday's game vs the Celtics due to right knee injury management.

Fantasy Impact

This is a bit of a late addition to the injury report, so it's possible that Johnson is feeling something in his surgically repaired knee. It is officially being called injury management, so it's more likely that he is just getting a day off with a back-to-back coming up Friday and Saturday. Torrey Craig and Dario Saric should see extra time Friday.

Cameron Johnson scored 22 points (8-12 FG, 5-7 3PT, 1-2 FT) and grabbed eight rebounds in 33 minutes of Thursday's 99-95 loss to the Mavericks.

Fantasy Impact

Johnson has been rock solid since returning from injury, averaging 18.3 points and 5.3 rebounds per game through four games. The UNC product has been on a bit of a minutes restriction since his return and has not played in every game, which is to be expected. However, he has shown that he can put up points with Devin Booker sidelined, making him an appealing fantasy option.

Cameron Johnson has been ruled out for Saturday's game vs the Pacers due to right knee injury management.

Fantasy Impact

The Suns have a back-to-back on Saturday and Sunday, so it isn't surprising to see Johnson sit out one of the games after recently returning from knee surgery. Torrey Craig and Ish Wainright should see a bigger workload.
