He made 79 regular-season appearances, posting averages of 10.6 points, 3.8 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 1.0 steals and 1.6 three-pointers on 38.9 percent from the field and 77.0 percent from the line.

Nets' Keon Johnson: Ruled out for Tuesday
Rotowire
Johnson is out for Tuesday's game against the Pelicans due to rest purposes, C.J. Holmes of the New York Daily News reports.
The Nets are resting one of their few standout performers in the second half of the season, though to be fair, Johnson has endured quite a lot of minutes recently. Johnson should be able to return to action when the Nets take on the Hawks on Thursday. In his absence, Jalen Wilson, Dariq Whitehead, Tyson Etienne and even Tyrese Martin could be in line to see more minutes in the backcourt.

Rotowire
Johnson supplied 24 points (10-19 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, three assists and one steal over 28 minutes during Monday's 113-109 victory over the Mavericks.

Nets' Keon Johnson: Decent stat line in win
Rotowire
Johnson logged 15 points (5-9 FG, 5-7 3Pt), four rebounds, three assists and one block across 31 minutes during Saturday's 115-112 victory over the Wizards.
Johnson started for the ninth game in a row, and he should be one of the young players who gets more minutes in the Brooklyn lineup as the regular season winds down. He's scored in double digits in six of those nine starts while also posting solid numbers in peripheral categories. Even though it's hard to rely on the Nets players from a fantasy perspective, Johnson should be one of the more consistent options as long as he stays in a starting role.
Johnson chipped in 22 points (8-20 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds, five assists, one block and one steal across 29 minutes during Sunday's 122-114 win over the Hawks.
Johnson built off the 21-point performance he had against the Celtics on Saturday in the first leg of this back-to-back set, finishing just three points away from tying his best scoring output of the campaign Sunday. This was Johnson's ninth game with at least 20 points this season -- eight of them have come since the beginning of January.

Nets' Keon Johnson: Moving to bench
Rotowire
Johnson isn't starting Thursday's game against the Bulls, C.J. Holmes of the New York Daily News reports.
Johnson averaged 8.0 points, 3.5 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.0 steals in his last four games as a starter, but he'll shift to a bench role Thursday with D'Angelo Russell back from injury. Johnson should remain rooted in the rotation despite the role change and will presumably still log north of 20 minutes.

Nets' Keon Johnson: Back in starting lineup
Rotowire
Johnson will start Saturday's game against the Pistons, C.J. Holmes of the New York Daily News reports.
After a long stay in the starting lineup, Johnson lost his spot in the first five Friday to Cam Thomas (hamstring), who was making his first appearance since Jan. 2. However, Thomas is back in street clothes for the second half of this back-to-back set, so Johnson will reclaim his starting gig for at least one more game, though Thomas should return to action Tuesday in San Antonio. As a starter this season (36 games), Johnson has averaged 12.6 points, 3.9 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.4 steals in 27.8 minutes per game.

Rotowire
Johnson is not in the Nets' starting lineup against the Trail Blazers on Friday, C.J. Holmes of the New York Daily News reports.

However, he still salvaged his fantasy line by posting solid contributions in other categories. Johnson is averaging 13.4 points, 4.8 rebounds, 2.9 assists, 1.9 steals and 0.9 blocks per game since the beginning of February.

Rotowire
Johnson accumulated nine points (4-11 FG, 1-3 3Pt), two rebounds, five assists, one block and four steals in 26 minutes during Monday's 107-99 loss to Washington.
Johnson didn't do much on the offensive side of the floor Monday, but he was active on the defensive side as he led both teams in steals, tying a season-best mark that he set against the Pacers on Jan. 6. He entered Monday's game averaging 1.0 steals per game, but he's been more active on defense as of late and has logged at least three steals in three of his last four games.
