James Johnson making first start of season for Miami
Miami Heat forward James Johnson will start for Luke Babbitt (hip) on Wednesday against the Charlotte Hornets.
Johnson is already a must-start in season-long leagues, but the promotion into the first unit also makes him an attractive DFS play. Okaro White is expected to be the backup.
numberFire's models project Johnson for 14.7 points, 6.3 rebounds, 4.0 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.5 blocks in 31.3 minutes. He costs $6,300 on FanDuel.
