Chris Johnson played 21 minutes off the bench and had nine points, five boards, one steal and one block in a 114-101 loss to the Wizards on Friday. He was signed out of desperation with Nikola Pekovic (quad) out and he's arguably had the best inside presence of any Minnesota player in his tenure. He might get another 10-day contract, which could have a negative impact on Greg Stiemsma (two points, two steals and a career-high six assists in 19 minutes) and Dante Cunnningham (eight points and five boards in 29 minutes). Johnson is only worth a look in very deep leagues since Pekovic shouldn't be out for too long.
