James Johnson stays busy in the box score as Heat take care of Suns
Miami Heat forward James Johnson scored 15 points with 7 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 steals, and 1 turnover while shooting 5-of-7 from the field and 2-of-4 on 3-pointers in 29.4 minutes of Wednesday's 126-115 victory over the Phoenix Suns.
Since returning from a one-game absence for a knee injury four games ago, Johnson has averaged 16.3 points, 7.0 rebounds, 5.0 assists, 1.8 steals, 0.8 blocks, and 2.0 3-pointers on 56.4 percent from the field and a perfect 13-of-13 at the charity stripe. He'll try to keep it going in a road date with the Utah Jazz on Friday.
numberFire's models projected Johnson to score 28.9 FanDuel points (FDP) on Wednesday, but he topped that with 35.9 FDP and is now averaging 32.7 FDP for the year. Over the remainder of the season, we have him pegged for 12.4 points, 5.1 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 1.0 steals, 1.1 blocks, 0.8 3-pointers, and 2.4 turnovers in 30.1 minutes per game on 45.8 percent from the field and 33.3 percent from deep.
