Celtics' Amir Johnson scores season-high 18 points
Boston Celtics forward Amir Johnson scored a season-high 18 points on 9-of-10 shooting versus the Philadelphia 76ers on Sunday while grabbing eight rebounds with a pair of blocks in 24 minutes.
What It Means:
Johnson has played very well when called upon in his first season in Boston, and while the Celtics' frontcourt is crowded, Johnson has proven to be a valuable contributor, even in limited minutes. However, unless there is another injury, he isn't worth owning for fantasy purposes.
Johnson has a nERD of 4.0 this season, which ranks 56th in the league. On the year he is averaging 7.3 points, 6.1 rebounds and 1.0 blocks in 22.4 minutes per game. We project the former second-round pick to average 6.8 points and 6.4 rebounds per game for the rest of the season.
