Tre

Johnson

Johnson shot the ball well on Friday, but the lack of playing time was a disappointment for fantasy managers. Due to the ankle injury suffered in late January, the rookie guard remains on a minutes restriction. While Johnson’s overall stat line was lean, there were signs that he could be a silly-season standout. However, that depends on how the Wizards handle the playing time, especially with fellow rookie Will Riley playing 12 minutes despite being healthy.

Back in action for the first time since January 29, Johnson was limited to 18 minutes on Wednesday. While other Wizards have seen their playing time limited recently, one would assume that Johnson will play more after the All-Star break. That alone gives him “silly season standout” potential. A sneaky option who doesn’t need to be stashed is Jaden Hardy, who played 18 minutes in his Wizards debut and finished with 11 points, one rebound, one assist, and three three-pointers.

The Wizards won’t have Alex Sarr or Tristan Vukčević for Wednesday’s game, so they’re starting without a true center in the starting lineup. Watkins will likely take on the task of defending Jarrett Allen, with Anthony Gill providing depth off the bench. Also, Johnson is back after missing nearly two weeks with a sprained ankle.

Out since January 29, Johnson will be available for the Wizards’ final game before the All-Star break. While a minutes restriction may be in the cards for the rookie on Wednesday, he should be safe from his minutes being limited after the All-Star break. Johnson is someone who should be rostered ahead of the silly season.

Sunday’s game will be the sixth that Johnson has missed since spraining his left ankle during a January 29 win over the Bucks. Bub Carrington has been the replacement in the starting lineup and should retain that role until the rookie is cleared to return.

Johnson has been out since spraining his left ankle during a January 29 win over the Bucks. Bub Carrington has been the replacement in the starting lineup, and he’s worth streaming until that changes.

Johnson injured his ankle on Thursday and will now miss a third straight game since then. Bub Carrington should remain a starter in his place, where he has been a decent source of points, assists and triples, even if he struggled in their last game.

Johnson, who sprained his left ankle during Thursday’s win over the Bucks, will miss a second straight game. Bub Carrington replaced him in the starting lineup for Friday’s loss to the Lakers, recording 15 points and six assists in 25 minutes. He’s worth streaming in deep leagues when allowed to start.

Johnson sprained his left ankle during the second quarter of Thursday’s win over the Bucks. Bub Carrington replaced him in the lineup to begin the third quarter, potentially a sign that he’ll be the replacement on Friday. If so, Carrington is worth streaming in deep leagues.

Carrington came off the bench on Thursday, but that could change for Friday’s game against the Lakers. Tre Johnson exited after spraining his ankle during the second quarter and did not return, with Bub filling the void to begin the third quarter. All that Carrington’s final stat line lacked was a blocked shot; he’ll be worth streaming if he starts Friday night.
