Ruled out for Sunday
Johnson (rest) is out for Sunday's game against the Spurs.
Analysis
Just like in Friday's win over the Thunder, Johnson will sit out this game due to rest purposes. The veteran forward, who averaged 12.2 points per game while shooting 43.0 percent from deep in 54 regular-season contests, should be ready to roll for the start of the playoffs next week.

Analysis
Johnson will join fellow starters Christian Braun (ankle), Jamal Murray (shoulder) and Nikola Jokic (wrist) on the bench for Friday's contest. With Peyton Watson (hamstring) and Spencer Jones (hamstring) also ruled out, the Nuggets will turn to Tim Hardaway, Julian Strawther, Bruce Brown, Jalen Pickett and Tyus Jones to alleviate the load.

May be rested
Johnson (rest) is questionable for Friday's game against the Thunder.
Analysis
Johnson, along with Denver's other four starters, is carrying a questionable tag with the team contemplating some maintenance days. Bruce Brown, Tim Hardaway and Julian Strawther could see expanded roles if multiple players sit out for Denver.

Efficient shooting performance
Johnson closed with 18 points (8-12 FG, 2-4 3Pt), three rebounds, two assists and one steal in 30 minutes during Wednesday's 136-119 win over Memphis.
Analysis
Johnson might have a secondary role in the Nuggets' offensive scheme, but there's no question the sharpshooting forward is making the most of his opportunities of late. He's scored at least 17 points in each of his last four games, and he'll continue to have tons of scoring touches as long as he stays. Over that four-game stretch, Johnson is making 45.5 percent of his threes on 5.5 attempts per contest.

Hits for diverse line in OT win
Johnson provided 17 points (6-9 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 4-5 FT), six rebounds and seven assists in 37 minutes during Monday's 137-132 overtime victory over the Trail Blazers.
Analysis
Although injuries and inconsistent totals have plagued Johnson's first season with the Nuggets, he's coming alive at the right time. Over the past 10 games, Johnson has remained steady, averaging 14.2 points, 4.4 rebounds, 3.0 assists, and 1.2 steals while maintaining a conversion rate of 52.1 percent during the span. Assuming he stays healthy, Johnson will prop up the wing position with fantasy-worthy numbers in the playoffs.
