Johnson contributed 19 points (7-14 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT), two rebounds, six assists and one steal across 37 minutes before fouling out of Wednesday's 116-111 win over the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
Johnson fouled out in the final quarter, but his contributions were pivotal in the Wizards' victory, and the California-born rookie has been making the most of the expanded role he's enjoyed in recent weeks. He's scored in double digits in five of his last nine outings, a span in which he's averaging 12.2 points, 2.8 rebounds, 3.6 assists, 0.7 steals and 1.6 turnovers across 31.6 minutes per contest.

Johnson contributed 20 points (6-14 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 5-6 FT), one rebound, four assists and one block in 42 minutes during Saturday's 115-112 loss to Brooklyn.
EDGE Analysis
Johnson made the most of this spot start Saturday, establishing a new season-high mark in scoring and being one of the few standout players on a Wizards team with other established offensive weapons, such as Jordan Poole and Alex Sarr, not at their best. Johnson has started in four of his last eight appearances, and this solid showing might allow him to remain in the lineup for the time being, especially since Khris Middleton (knee) is on the sidelines.

EDGE Analysis
The rookie first-round pick will slide to the bench due to Khris Middleton (ankles) returning to the starting five. Johnson started in each of the club's last two outings, totaling 20 points, 10 assists, eight rebounds, two steals and one block across 63 minutes.

Johnson racked up eight points (3-8 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds, four assists and one block over 35 minutes during Monday's 112-97 loss to Portland.
EDGE Analysis
Johnson, who was making his first career start Monday, made the most of his minutes in the loss. Marcus Smart (illness) and Malcolm Brogdon (ankle) were both sidelined, while Jordan Poole and Khris Middleton were pulled at halftime as a coach's decision. The Wizards don't have much to play for in the final weeks, so Johnson could get more looks like these.
