Johnson had two points (1-5 FG, 0-2 3Pt), four rebounds, one assist, and one steal in 13 minutes during Sunday's 129-95 loss to the Trail Blazers.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson drew the start at center in place of Joel Embiid (knee soreness). Nevertheless, Johnson saw just the 10th-most minutes on the team, with Jonah Bolden playing 26 minutes and Mike Muscala earning 24. Even if Embiid remains sidelined for Tuesday's matchup with the Clippers, Johnson can likely be avoided across most formats.

Johnson will start Sunday against the Trail Blazers, Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson gets the nod at center with Joel Embiid out due to knee soreness. Johnson hasn't seen much action of late but should be in store for a big uptick in minutes Sunday night.

Johnson will come off the bench for Monday's game against Detroit.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson, who got the start for Joel Embiid on Friday, will come off the bench Monday. The veteran center is averaging 4.0 points and 3.0 rebounds in 10.6 minutes per game on the year and failed to score in 16 minutes during his spot start Friday.

Johnson will start at center in place of Joel Embiid (rest) for Friday's matchup against the Pistons, Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Friday marks Embiid's first absence of the season, and Johnson is set to see extra run as a result. In 18 starts last year, Johnson averaged 6.9 points, 5.4 rebounds and 3.0 assists in 20.5 minutes.

Johnson totaled 11 points (4-9 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five rebounds, and three assists in 14 minutes during Friday's 113-107 win over the Jazz.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson hit double figures in scoring for the first time since the second contest of the season (back on Oct. 18). He had combined to play eight minutes over the last two tilts, and has earned single-digit minutes in five of nine November matchups. With that being said, Joel Embiid got into foul trouble in this one, presenting Johnson with the opportunity to make things happen. Still, Johnson is only worth a look in the very deepest leagues.

Johnson had five points (2-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six rebounds, one assist, one steal, and one block in 12 minutes during Tuesday's 129-112 loss to the Raptors.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson continues to receive the majority of backup center minutes behind Joel Embiid. However, that doesn't amount to much of a role for the 31-year-old veteran who has always been more well known for doing the dirty work than putting up stats.

Johnson tallied five points (2-3 FG, 1-2 FT), five rebounds, two steals, two assists and a block across 13 minutes during Monday's preseason loss to the Mavericks.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson had a nice impact during his playtime Monday, finishing second on the team in plus-minus at plus-14. Despite his good play, he was outpaced in minutes by both Joel Embiid (28 minutes) and Mike Muscala (25 minutes). It's likely that Johnson will continue to be relegated to the limited bench role he was in last season, which would prevent him from having an impact in most fantasy formats, barring injuries to either Embiid or Muscala.

Johnson is finalizing a one-year deal to remain with the 76ers, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson played a solid role off the pine for the 76ers last season, even drawing 18 starts. Functioning as a reserve center behind starter Joel Embiid, Johnson averaged 4.6 points, 4.5 rebounds and 1.6 assists across 15.8 minutes while shooting 53.8 percent from the field. Unless Philly makes any significant moves to its frontcourt rotation, Johnson should slot into a similar role during 2018-19.

Johnson will return to a bench role for Game 2 against the Heat on Monday, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson has been starting at center since Joel Embiid (face) went down with an injury at the end of March. However, the Sixers were extremely successful going smaller against the Heat in their playoff opener and will now look to take advantage of that by starting Ersan Ilyasova at center instead. That sends Johnson to the bench, though his minutes will still likely hover in the upper-teens or low-20s. Either way, Johnson doesn't have the most intriguing upside as a DFS option Monday.

Johnson got the start at center and tallied seven points (3-8 FG, 1-1 FT), four assists, three rebounds and one steal during the 76ers' 132-130 victory over Cleveland on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson made his only free throw attempt Friday as he has now made his last seven free-throw attempts dating back to Mar. 19. The former draft pick out of Westchester High School is averaging 4.4 points and 4.4 rebounds through 71 games played during his 13th NBA season.
