James Johnson Leads Team Off The Bench
7 years agoMiami Heat forward James Johnson led the team in scoring despite coming off the bench Wednesday night against the Philadelphia 76ers. Johnson scored 22 points on a blistering 8-for-10 shooting in just 21 minutes. The veteran has taken advantage of the extra minutes he's receiving with Kelly Olynyk (shoulder) missing their last four games. Over that span, Johnson is averaging 14.0 points, 4.3 rebounds and 2.5 assists per game. The Heat do not play again until next Friday against the New Orleans Pelicans, so it's possible Olynyk will return to the lineup by then. Johnson's versatility keeps him fantasy relevant, but his ceiling limits ownership to deeper leagues.
