Stanley Johnson yields a gem in Pelicans' loss
New Orleans Pelicans guard/forward Stanley Johnson scored 18 points (6-of-13 field goals, 4-of-5 free throws) with 4 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals, 2 3-pointers, and 1 turnover in 27.6 minutes of a 119-96 loss to the Orlando Magic on Wednesday.
Johnson led the Pelicans in scoring off the bench and had double-digit points for the first time since February 4. He logged 5.7 minutes in the previous game, so this may have just been an outlier. New Orleans will have some time to rest before they host the Houston Rockets on Sunday.
Johnson finished with 86.4 FanDuel points in the loss, his fourth-highest output of the season. He's averaging 14.8 FanDuel points per game overall.
