Johnson is in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Knicks.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson will make just his sixth start of the season as Kessler Edwards shifts to the bench. The veteran is averaging 5.7 points, 3.5 rebounds and 1.9 assists across 19.0 minutes per game this season.

Johnson (knee) is available for Monday's game versus the Kings, Billy Reinhardt of NetsDaily.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson was labeled as questionable for Monday due to a bruised right knee, but he's been cleared to take the court for the Nets. He's averaged 9.2 points, 3.4 rebounds and 2.0 assists in 22.8 minutes over the past five games, though the returns of Nicolas Claxton (hamstring) and LaMarcus Aldridge (ankle) could affect his opportunities in the frontcourt.

Johnson is questionable for Monday's game against the Kings due to a right knee contusion.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson suffered the knee injury during Saturday's loss to the Clippers and is in jeopardy of missing additional contests. If he's unable to suit up, Blake Griffin and Bruce Brown are both candidates for increased roles off the bench.

Johnson closed Tuesday's 126-91 loss to the Celtics with 17 points (8-11 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 0-2 FT), three rebounds, five assists, one block and one steal across 24 minutes.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson piled up some numbers in the blowout loss. He's seen double-digit minutes in each of the past 10 games, but he's only putting up stats good enough for fantasy relevance in deep leagues. Occasionally, he'll pop like this when the situation presents itself.

Johnson finished with 18 points (8-11 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, one assist, two blocks and one steal over 29 minutes during Wednesday's 112-101 loss to Sacramento.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson has aptly provided frontcourt support this season, which is sorely needed while Kevin Durant (knee) remains out. His services were more urgently required Wednesday, with LaMarcus Aldridge (ankle) missing another game. Relying on Johnson is a mixed bag, however. One never knows when Blake Griffin might show up with the hot hand, and Johnson typically takes a back seat when that happens.

Johnson totaled 14 points (6-10 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal across 26 minutes during Saturday's 110-106 loss to the Warriors.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson shifted back to the bench Saturday after starting Wednesday's contest, and he posted his second-highest points total of the season versus Golden State. The 34-year-old has averaged 8.2 points, 4.4 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 1.0 steals in 24.6 minutes across the past five games.

Johnson will start in Wednesday's game against the Nuggets, Billy Reinhardt of NetsDaily.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

With Nicolas Claxton (rest) and Day'Ron Sharpe (illness) already ruled out, Johnson will make his third start of the season. He's averaging 4.6 points, 3.4 rebounds and 1.7 assists over 17.4 minutes per game this season.

Johnson supplied seven points (3-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt), five rebounds, four assists and one steal over 20 minutes before fouling out of Sunday's 136-125 loss to the Timberwolves.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson was held scoreless in his return to the court Friday, but he was more productive against Minnesota on Sunday. The 34-year-old has had inconsistent playing time off the bench for most of the season, but he's averaged 17.5 minutes per game across his last two appearances.

Johnson (non-COVID illness) is not listed on the injury report ahead of Wednesday's contest against the Wizards, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson was sidelined for back-to-back games due to a non-COVID aliment, but he's expected to return Wednesday. Kevin Durant (knee), Paul Millsap (personal) and Nicolas Claxton (hamstring) have all been ruled out against the Wizards, so Nets will likely have to rely on big minutes from Johnson, Kessler Edwards, Blake Griffin and LaMarcus Aldridge.

Johnson (illness) is listed as out for Monday's game against the Cavaliers, Alex Schiffer of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

A non-COVID-19-related ailment will keep Johnson sidelined for the second game in a row. Meanwhile, Kevin Durant (knee) and Paul Millsap (personal) are also listed as out while Nicolas Claxton (hamstring) is considered questionable, so Brooklyn could be shorthanded in the frontcourt heading into a four-game week.
