Johnson is back after sitting out Monday's win over the Kings. As a result, Garrison Mathews returns to the bench, where he offers little value as a deep-league streamer. Feel free to leave Mathews on the waiver wire.
Johnson (lower leg) will play in Wednesday's game against the Warriors. Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
Johnson was a late scratch for Monday's win over the Kings, with Garrison Mathews replacing him in the starting lineup. While Mathews may get another start if Johnson cannot play, he doesn't offer much fantasy value beyond points and 3-pointers.
Johnson (lower leg) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Warriors, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
With Jalen Johnson (leg) as a late scratch, Quin Snyder will opt for more shooting in the starting lineup with Mathews. De'Andre Hunter and Larry Nance should be candidates for extra minutes off the bench, and Bogdan Bogdanovic's return adds another wrinkle to the rotation.
