Amir Johnson just missed a double-double on Sunday with 10 points and nine boards in a 93-87 win over the Nets.

In true Amir fashion, he picked up his first foul with two second off the clock on the game's opening tip. Amir is tied with Dwight Howard for the lead in fouls per game with 3.8 despite playing 7.1 minutes per game less. Fouling aside, he has several tools to be a fantasy stud and is worth starting in all leagues.

Amir Johnson was a monster in the paint against the Bulls on Friday, shooting 10-of-15 from the field for 24 points with nine boards, two assists, one steal, one block and one 3-pointer.

It was just the seventh 3-pointer of his career and while he's been fantastic in field goal shooting with a career 58 percent, he's not exactly Stephen Curry from downtown. Johnson should be a beast while Jonas Valanciunas is out and is a must-start player.

Amir Johnson has twisted his ankle "several times this year," but he's missed just one game all season.

The one game he missed wasn't because of injury, but rather a suspension. Over the last two seasons, the Raptors are minus-571 points when Johnson is off the floor and plus-170 when he's on it, an indication of how valuable he is to this team. One of the most under-appreciated players in the league and a Rotoworld favorite, Johnson is the definition of a warrior.

Amir Johnson shot 1-of-7 from the field for two points with six boards, one assist, two steals and two blocks in 25 minutes.

It was an uncharacteristic shooting line for Amir, who shoots 56 percent from the field this year. While the offense wasn't pretty, the rebounds and defense made this a worthwhile line for owners. He should be owned in all stanndard leagues.

Dwane Casey revealed that Amir Johnson is "banged up," and it's possible Johnson's minutes could be reduced the remainder of the season.

Johnson has played 37 minutes or more in two of his last three games, but his playing time could go down considering the Raptors aren't playing for anything this year and Johnson isn't healthy. He's an absolute warrior so it's possible Johnson will keep playing through his health issues, but owners need to keep in mind he's far from 100 percent.

Amir Johnson played through a leg injury in Friday's win over the Pistons, scoring 20 points on 9-of-11 shooting with eight rebounds and two blocks in 38 minutes.

Johnson is banged up dealing with leg and ankle issues as we go down the stretch, but the good news is that the Raptors need him on the floor with just Jonas Valanciunas and Aaron Gray around to man the paint. Speaking of the Jonas Brother, scored 14 points on 7-of-11 shooting with 13 rebounds and four blocks in the win.

Amir Johnson (leg) will be in the lineup Friday night against the Pistons.

Johnson was listed as game-time call but was expected to play through the pain after participating in shootaround Friday morning. Feel free to use him as you normally would but understand he's played about 20 minutes or less in three straight games.
